Firmware Update Problem

JPigford

I'm awesome...seriously..
So I'm trying to install this dang firmware update (been trying for over a month) and have yet to get the "long tone" or "Power button light flashing." It always just sits there until I let go of the power button and continues booting...until today. Today it took me to Open Firmware mode and gave me this error:

USB Setup Error 5f000000 400002
USB Setup Error 5f000000 400002
USB Setup Error 5f000000 400002
USB Setup Error 5f000000 400002
1 1 2 failed to respond

It then had a command prompt and asked me if I wanted to continue booting or shut down. I tried both. The continue booting did just that...it continued booting as normal without making the update. If I chose "shut down" then it restarted 3 times by itself and each time opened and closed my cd/dvd drive (odd) and then booted as normal.
 
Boot to your Apple Hardware Test CD, run the extended test, see if any issues show up.
Firmware update on what System? Are you trying to run a firmware update on a system that does not need it?
Make sure you have no external devices attached, except the mouse (plugged into the keyboard) and an Apple brand keyboard plugged into the system. And a display, of course.
Recheck the firmware update instructions, simple, but you never know.. :)
