Default Firmware problems for Onda vx858 , also lookin 4 vista skins

Hi,

I recently baught the onda vx858 and wanted to get down to business with adding pics videos and things. When I opened the box ,it came with all the necessities and an installation cd and a manual, but in in Chinese .I did a search for installations on google and ran into you guys , read about the good and the bad on the onda vx858. I registered and now I'm asking if anyone could help me on installation. I have plenty of questions ,not sure if all of them will get answered but here goes.........


Ive tried to install new firmware on my vx858 i got 2 days ago, but with everything in chinese, I'm like a fish out of water. I have switched the language to english , then tried settings -firmware update-and i get the chinese language surrounding the "Do Not Enter" simble and below that is a "green"arrow with more chinese. I figure, maybe they want me to plug it to the usb to the pc , so I did . All I get is the blue screen with a pc over a bar that looks like a candy cane on its side and more chinese lettering below. Now im wondering - what now??? Ive installed the Refresh firmware 2.8.1 onto my pc and tried to upgrade to a firmware with the following: 01.00.0017 . so i go to update and it reads:

Finding Rock USB devicei-i-
not found any rock device

Am I missing the drivers , because I really dont know where to begin with that silly cd in chinese , for one I am unable to load any thing .

Do I have to place the rfw files on the player itself or the card ??

Why do i get "Error applying transforms. verify the specified transform paths are valid" when i try to install from a cd with all chinese?

On the Onda vx858 I was able to see which firmware it has and it read:

Fw 00.00.0016
2007-6-28
flash mem 0/ 0MB

Where exactly on the www.onda.com.cn website is the firmware 00.00.0017
and what do I have to do to update ?

If I have drivers ,the pc can read it right?

Do i have to format the mini sd on the pc or the onda vx858, and if i have to format on the vx858 where do you format?

How do I get the firware for the new skins as I think that is a whole lot better then the normal one.

If any one can answer any questions , I would be very happpy
