nope unzoone and format and install its still wont work. the only firmware that works is 1.4 which is really annoying.
I've updated my wifes

zune to 2.5 also and it worked fine. where exactly is the firmware stored on the zune?? is it chip based or on the hard drive?? because the zune after trying to install 2.3 or 2.5 clicks and gives a dark screen.
any help apart from unzoone or re-install would be very appreciated. as doing both these things does nothing for my zune.
this is what happens....
from fresh install of software after unzoone
1: I am asked to update software to 2.5 do this succesfully.
2: asked to update firmware so connect zune (nothing on zune as wiped it) device recovery mode
3:click install.... zune logo on zune it says something in white for a second then goes back to zune logo
4

lease wait do not disconnect... line moves along in steps waits a second near the end and completes the line.
5:zune logo again then switches to a lighted black screen which after 20 seconds goes black windows then gives usb device connected/disconnected sound and zune resets but software says the zune is up to date.
6: zune repeats step 5 repeatedly.
so as you can see this is really annoying. and if i go back to 1.4 it works fine
I can put music on it videos pictures and so on but it wont take the new firmware.
oh and if i put my zune to my ear I can hear the hard drive clicking (zune 30 by the way)
