I recently purchased a Contax TVS-D on eBay. The firmware version was 1.00, and I wanted to update to the latest, 1.05. I found a file called clfware.bin, but could not find instructions on how to install it. Moderator biggles3 on this forum was immensely helpful in this effort. To make a long story short, you can download the file from google drive here. To install it, place it in a folder called 100CXBOX under the DCIM folder on your SD card (create the folder if it doesn't exist). Turn the camera on in Setup mode and go to the third page of the D menu. You should see "Firm Update" at the bottom. Execute it and you should now be running version 1.05. You can see what version you're running by holding down the C and D buttons while turning the camera on in Setup mode.
The usual caveats apply: this worked on my camera, but it may not work on yours---and if it fails, it can render your camera useless. Be sure to have a fully charged battery and/or the AC adapter plugged in before you start.
Again, huge thanks to biggles3 for walking me through this.
