CV17N2 Firmware on WF-C5790

[Victor_Manuel_Carpio 0]

Hello!
I have a problem, 

I have the WF-C5790 printer with CV17N2 firmware version, and at the moment to update the firmware, the program shows the legend "old version(It cannot update)" on name model.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Victor

Solution:

Step 1
Download and extract Zip archive with WF-C5790 Firmware:

https://inkchip.net/download/INKCHIP.net_Firmware_99_WF5790_v1.rar


Step 2
Delete all USB printers installed on your PC except that You want to make chipless. Reboot PC, restart printer.

Step 3
Connect printer to PC (with Windows OS) by proper USB cable.
Disable all Epson processes and services. 

Step 4
Upload Firmware to printer in the NORMAL MODE (do NOT use service mode yet just start the printer with the power button). 

Step 5
When Firmware Update process is complete - printer will restart - usually it will take only a few minutes but can continue for 10-20 minutes in some rare cases. 
If process hangs - replug power cable and start printer manually.

Step 6
Now check current firmware version.
If NO - restart the printer and try once more time.

Step 7
Extract all files from License.zip archive to local folder on Your PC. Run activation.exe utility and click on Activate Online button and input Your Activation Key.
