Non HP Chip Detected. How to Downgrade your HP 7740 Printer firmware through usb with the .ful file.

[@NatalieDelport01]

THANK YOU so so much, the non-original ink is now finally working on my HP7740. It has taken me 2 years and many emails to HP (who clearly don't care!) - but I can now afford to keep my printer, by using the more affordable ink cartridges. What a huge relief! Your instructions were easy and to the point, and your files were downloadable as promised. Bless you for sharing this! Really! PS. to those following SimplyBS instructions - do exactly as he says, it does work. Remember the printer restart, and use the USB to re-install previous printer firmware, as I tried doing it from the laptop, and it initially didn't work. All is working now. It tells you that "non-original or cloned cartridges are installed" - but it still prints perfectly and shows the ink is full.

[@LaneHartle]

You saved my HP 7740 printer!!! A recent firmware update from HP prevented all non-HP ink cartridges from working. Your step-by-step instructions and the firmware file in your link worked perfectly. Thanks so much!!!

[@papersta]

Hi, what firmware was the last in your printer?

[@LaneHartle]

@@papersta Have no idea now, I had auto firmware updates turned on, so I guess I had the latest version offered by HP. I couldn't use any non-HP ink cartridges, but after following the steps in this video, I can. Morgan & Morgan has a class action lawsuit against HP for blocking third-party cartridges, will be nice to see a positive outcome of this case.

You sir, are an absolute life saver. Found out my 7740 updated a few weeks ago and when I went to change my toner I got this exact message. Following this guide has resolved all my issues now and auto-updates have now been disabled. Thanks so much!

Many thanks - just copied BOTH the files in your link to the formatted thumb drive, plugged it into the 7740 - and IT IS WORKING WITH THE NON-HP CARTRIDGES!! Brilliant!

Brilliant! I spent an evening and most of the next day trying to overcome this HP installed malware. Yours was the only solution that worked. Downloading the FUL file was the key. Thanks for posting links to where to download from.

Hi, and thanks with your information and a little more "digging" I have managed to overcome the dubious practices of the evil empire and overcome "Dynamic security", or to be more accurate robbery on my HP 7720. If I sold someone a car and then stopped them from using it unless they bought petrol from me at 3 or 4 times the cost of other filling stations I would be thrown into prison and rightly so. Keep up the good work You are one of the Good Guys.

Well said Sir, much thanks for the kind words.

Thank´s! I was searching for a 8715 Firmware without "problems". I found it in your discription link. Updating printer by cmd command was succesfull.

[@simplybs9311]

Hi so can you run through how you got the .ful file to work via command prompt if you dont mind? Or am i reading into this wrongly? Because I know my way of doing it is via usb port but many people said it doesnt work for them on some models that way.

[@myutubeatn8]

@@simplybs9311 Provided that the printer must be shared in the network. In my case, the share is 8715. CMD Promt must be opened in the folder of the flash file. The command is then: copy /b weber_vr2_pp1_WMP1CN1848AR_nbx_signed.ful \\localhost\8715. A message should then be displayed: "One file copied". If this is the case, it takes about 5 minutes, the printer restarts and immediately prints a status page ;-)

In my case, I had 2 complete sets of cartridges that no longer worked, although they previously worked without any problems in the 8715.

Hello, excellent guide on how to downgrade the printer. Just wanted to know if there has been any changes as I am stuck in the step where the printer downloads the Firmware file from the USB, restarts, and then says "Verifying" with a loading animation circle. The printer doesn't have internet connection and the updates have been turned off. The "Verifying" process seems to be stuck.
