After you've copied the 2 sets of files in and flashed into your player, what did your player show?
Well it's really hard for me to describe and i dont have a camera with high enough resolution to show you, but i might try if you want me too. Basically what happened was that the interface was completely different. I usually have a nice blue interface, but when i uploaded the new firmware it suddenly went green and words were all out of place (this is the music menu). I also then noticed the backlight was extreemly low. In the program Easy FW, i couldnt change some of my settings back to normal. Such as the standby time. For some odd reason it will only go up to 31, when i needed it at 120.

So to sum it up, my mp3 had a new music player interface with all the words out of place. When i mean words i mean song title, and when i went to check whether i could see my mp3 files it was all blured. The back light wasnt that strong, it was more of a dull grey light.

Hi Lattesurf.

I did try your step by step guide and it didnt work. Luckily for me though i was able to restore the original firmware without any problems. Im thinking the reason why it didnt work is prehaps your music player is a Mp4? and this firmware is not compatable with a mp3 device. Just to breifly describe my Mp3 player, it's a Laser Multimedia Video Player (MVP) and as far as i know can only be sold in Australia. It's definitly a Nano Clone however. My firmware is a Wilson.Co 3.5.37 firmware.

So the basic question is can you use a Mp4 firmware for a Mp3 device with similar characteristics ie nano clone...

Thanks in advance
hey so when it didn't work...what did you do, just re-upload your old firmware back into your device and made it work or did you have to do more to make it work.

the reason i want to know is because i really want to try this but also i don't want to damage my player.
Yes, my computer still read a device in the computer so i quickly just reinstalled my original firmware.

Writing this wants me to try it again. I'll get back to you with images if i can.
