Default Dead Chinese iPod/iPhone clone - Anyka 36XX

Hi everybody .
This is my first post on this forum, and that after I searched a day and a half for a solution.

So, my player looks (and I suppose it is) the same as Touchscreen MP4 Player + Video Camera 8GB .
The original software showed Spring MLC v3.0.3 / Magic v2.
Hardware: Anyka 36XX / IL<something> LCD.

It was like crap and couldn't run some avi I've thrown at it, and I decided to try updating the firmware. Of course the "Update software" in the settings wasn't working and the "what does that button do" was nowhere to be found.

The only useful key combination I could find was "hold M and plug in USB". There was nothing I could do to get to the system partition to backup the firmware or install another one without messing with the BIOS.

I've found the Anyka burn tool and tried a few firmwares, but none of them worked fully. The best I could get was TV1<something>, which was booting up and was bringing up the touchscreen correction screen, which I couldn't use (somehow it wasn't communicating with the touchscreen) nor skip. Another one was showing loading mirrored on a blue screen. The rest - NIL (black screen).

Now, do any of you know any details on using that burn tool and combinations of firmware I could try? I really need to get this fixed (it's not mine, and the guy who gave it to me didn't mention it wasn't his until I killed the original firmware) or I'll have to pay $50 for some Chinese plastic & circuitry...

Thanks a lot .

LE: found http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1855 . I actually saw it before and went over it, but now I think that could be what I've been looking for. Does anyone have that zip?
