xeongx, The problem with the s1fwx tool at the moment is it misses a couple of files in the extraction process and because they are not there it can not repair the firmware.
An extracted or dumped firmware is not the same as a full version firmware. A full version firmware contains certain extra files that are used to read the players hardware and prepare the player for firmware installation. These extra files are not actually copied to the player during the firmware installation, this means that there is no way to extract a full version firmware because not all the files needed are present on the player.

Your possible options for a full version firmware are the mini CD that came with your player sometimes has a copy but this is rare. The supplier may have a copy or may be able to get a copy but sometimes the manufacturers are a bit reluctant to release their full versions in case other manufacturers start using it.
