simmo2302 , your player would be using the ATJ209* series chipsets. As you have found, it is not possible yet to extract your firmware dump.

Also, even if your player did come with a firmware in the CD, it is also risky to mod it and flash into your player. Usually these firmwares are mass burnt into CDs even for the wrong batch of players. It is a 50/50 gamble to theme this firmware and flash into your player.
These firmwares are usually used for recovering dead players instead, where you have nothing to lose.

The firmware version basically just tells you which chipset and firmware group you're using. As manufacturers find new and cheaper hardware, they'll change the firmware to suit the hardware. But they don't change the version number.

To safely theme a player, you'll need to extract a working firmware dump from your player, and theme it. By using someone else's themed firmware, even with the same exact version, would likely brick your player. They don't practice proper versions control.

So i'll suggest you just enjoy your player as it is, until the tool supports your chipset. Great your player turned out to be 4GB.

It`s like an MP3 Player which plays Music CDs only.
