Try to use s1clone, that one will not search only for the firmware in the chip, it will dump all the contents. Also, the hardware compatibility issues are bullshit.... I tried to clone my own player before f/w and when I tried to restore the same image it said it's a different player. And I'm not the only who had this problem. Could you please share the clone file? Maybe I can extract the firmware with a hex editor. |
Here is the link.

This is the s1clone from the "hacked" 1GB model marketed as 2GB, as received from Hong Kong. I believe the player is now "unhacked" and I hope to get another s1clone image soon, and will be happy to upload it.
Good luck with this. You're into realms far beyond me with a hex editor.
Also, just wondering if anyone knows how the flash is hacked to make it look like 2GB rather than 1GB? On basis that maybe recloning would work with a hacked player better than a dehacked one??
