I took a look at a Sonicwall PRO 200 today. The previous owners of the unit stated it had intermittent problems. My first thought was to wipe it clean with the factory defaults and then check to see if there were any firmware updates. If you have one of these units, be careful. So I reset the unit to the factory defaults, and connect over the console… and the console is down. Then I go to the default web based tool, and it prompts me to upload a fresh firmware and states the loaded firmware is corrupt. No problem, I think to myself. I’ll just go to the manufacturer’s website, download the latest firmware, and load it in there. NO. Sonicwall no longer lets just anyone download firmware anymore. So I create and account and login, but still no way to download. I try to add the product via the serial number, and their system responds with a message that the serial number has already been registered to someone else. Well of course it has, this is a hand-me-down unit. Since I can’t bring myself to throw a possibly workable piece of equipment away, I’ll just keep struggling with this thing. I found one for sale on ebay, and asked the seller if they would burn me a copy of the install cd. Hopefully I can turn a stone and find some firmware squirming about. Thanks for nothing Sonicwall!

In reference to your sonicwall issue, there is a very simple solution. Create a mySonicwall account if you don;t have one, email a photo of the units serial number together with your mySonicwall user name, and request it be moved to your account. By sending the photo you satisfy their legal requirements as it show you are in possession of the unit. Takes them 2 days to do, but once done you can access the latest firmware which was available to your unit when it was under warranty.
Neat huh!

Thanks MarkG! I’ll have to try that out. I had emailed a few people on ebay to see if they would mail me a copy of the manufacturer’s original cd but didn’t have much luck at the time.
Cheers!

Dean,
I did not get the firmware for my sonicwall yet. I did create an account at their site, but I did not go any further then that as MarkG suggested. One of these days I do need to get around to fixing that (or tossing it)!
Good luck, I’ll let you know if I get off my duff and get it.
Cheers!

Hi people
I have just got hold of a sonic wall pro 200 having the same problem the last guy has reset it so now it says “The current firmware file appears to be corrupted.”
I have setup an account with sonic wall and tried to register the hardware but can’t because it’s already been registered
If that’s not hitting a brick wall I don’t know what is!
Is there anyone out there can HELP!

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread. Here is what I did to two Sonicwall’s. I sent an email to register@sonicwall.com asking them to move the registration from the currently registered owner to myself. I provided my newly created “myaccount” and subscriber ID which came in the “myaccount” email confirmation. I sent them pictures and serial numbers. It took a while but they did it.
Apparently Sonicwall is required to make firmware downloads available in GB.
Found this link to their website in England that has firmware for out of support appliances and does not require a login.

Hello all.
I too have recently got a SonicWall TZ150W wireless series router 2nd hand, and I do not have the passwords for the router. Nor do I have the CD’s for the router. Does anyone have a copy of the firmware they could possibly email me?
