EFI Firmware 1.1 update error?

same problem here with the standalone dmg & the autoupdater.

I get the same message. EFI Firmware 1.1 update error 0. Don't know were to go for support.

No,
you are not alone.
Same Problem with my MacBook.
Tried everything, get the same error all the time (0)

it's worked OK, for me, not noticed any difference yet.

Do u use the orig harddrive, or did u grad up to a larger one ?

you are right, i've upgraded to a 250 gb samsung...

Can not see that would make any odds.

Anyway mine is not the original drive but a 7200, 120gb, I also have 3gb RAM installed, and mine worked OK.

Me too, also 250 Samsung,
maybe this is the problem ?
Do anybody else experience this problem and also use an upgraded drive ? What type of drive ?

Seagate ST9120823AS, 7200, 120gb, no probs here

Sorry, i do not get it.
We are talking about a problem to get the EFI Firmware installer working on a MacBook.
And you use 3 GB RAM in a MacBook ? Thought its limited to 2 GB ?

Same problem here.

Someone said, had the OP upgraded the hard drive.

I replied saying I had upgraded my HD and RAM and had no problems installing the FW, just to point out that I can not see how upgrading HD or even RAM would stop a firmware update.

C2D can use 3GB, this is not what Apple recommends, but I have been for months will no problems apart from a very fast MacBook with CS3 etc. But this is another topic and you will find it in other threads.
