Default Re: MP4 shows black screen with hourglass

Hi VTR;

To get a working firmware onto your Glacier like player, you have to download the "Mp3 Player Utilities 4.05" and install it !

Second, download this firmware package of Glacier firmwares :

http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firm...res-df652.html


Now, turn OFF your player, remove the battery and plug in your mp4 to USB and wait 30 seconds until it is fully recognized by Windows.
Then open the new installed "Mp3 Player Upgrade Tool" and select the Firmware you wish to install.
Mine was one of the 9.0.50.x ones. You would start with the 9.0.50.8 and then 9.0.50.7 and so on, until you have a result.

A common mistake made by a lot of users, is to not be patient. Because, after flashing, the program says "Done, will exit". from now on, you have to wait for about 1-2 minutes. Then you unplug him, insert the battery and turn him on.
From now on, you have to wait also. first of all, you will be having a loong hourglass showing up for 1 or 2 minutes. This is then a good sign, he will boot for the first time, and after a minute or two, you can use him as normal.

Just one thing, my speaker was not working with non of these firmwares ! but if you don't really need the speaker, don't try other firmwares, becauase, I killed mine with another 9.0.50.x firmare !!

There is one, where the speaker worked, but it was in Russian or Turk. Therefor I was flashing any firmware named 9.0.50.x in the firmware section, and puff, killed

My VID and PID are now set to 0000 so windows detects my player as an "unknown device" : USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&39669908&0&4
I do not know how to correct the AdfuUpdate.inf in order to work with this information

Maybe you could help me too ?

Best Regards
Jim
