ayhack, If your player is being recognised as an ADFU Device it is in recovery mode. The only way you will be able to restore it is to load a full version firmware and then your backup firmware. If you do not have a backup then you will just have to download some firmware and try them. Hopfully you will find one that is compatible with your layer.
Have a read of the Dead Player Recovery Guide

You do not have to follow the section about shorting your chip because your player is already in recovery mode but you will need to use a full and dump firmware to recover your player.
