Toasted Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 From your post from the other thread I am also in this exact boat. it will not update from M306 to M311 using toolbox... my system specs are in my profile. I have been having boot issues and am forced to go into bios everytime and sometimes its not their as well.. corsair said I needed to update firmware. so I ended up here. now this is my primary boot as well. I have windows 8.1 pro x64 installed on it. if I need to whipe it I am ok with that I suppose. but I want to avoid if possible. any help would be wonderful. thanks in advance If you are experiencing any issues with the SSD, first thing i would recommend is to backup all your important data. For the firmware update, -Make sure the SSD is plugged into a Intel SATA port, Try SATA II and see if that helps as well -Is AHCI enabled in the BIOS -Have you tried the MSAHCI drivers instead of IRST drivers?

casper76 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi I am unable to update my corsair Neutron with SSD Toolbox for my Home Theatre PC. AHCI is enabled in BIOS. Pls refer to attachment for pc spec and ssd info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Try a different SATA data port and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pcenthusiast Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi, I´m facing the same issue. I have tried with intel RST installed and not installed, have tried another sata port, have tried turn RST ON/OFF in BIOS , always in AHCI mode and everytime toolbox fails to update the firware. Even with all these configurations , toolbox reads the SSD as SCSI fixed disk. What else can i try? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Try the firmware update on another computer with AHCI. If i remember correctly, it shouldn't be detected as as SCSI device. You could try updating the BIOS to see if it helps though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPsloStudent Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Using the Corsair SSD Toolbox, both my computers failed to update the firmware on my Neutron 256 GB SSD (CSSD-N256GB3-BK). I first tried running the Toolbox on my Win 7 desktop, as my Win 8 64-bit HP Envy Laptop was not detecting the SSD while my Win 7 machine could. After the firmware update from M306 failed, I ended up reformatting the drive and trying to install it in the Win 8 machine again. I am not sure why the Win 8 laptop just now started detecting the SSD again (perhaps because I formatted it as MBR rather than GBT). Anyway, point being, despite the Win 8 machine detecting the SSD, the Toolbox also fails to update the firmware, just as my Win 7 machine did. Is it possible to update to firmware M311?

alchn Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Tried their older toolbox 1.0? Worked for many, myself included. The official download link is provided somewhere down the thread. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=127582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromullet Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks for this tip. :) That other thread has been locked, but downloading the older version Toolbox worked for me after nothing I did with the current version would allow me to flash the drive.
