Hi.
My device is a ipod nano 3rd generation 8Gb (fake) and it look like this
When I opened the device, after a long time in which I didn't use it, I found that the device remains blocked on the screen with the hourglass.
Then I connected the device to the PC and the player was detected as a "
Universal Serial Bus controllers\Unknown Device".
After I searched, on the internet, solutions to my problem I found it is possible that device database become corrupted and to correct this I have to format the device.
To find the correct drivers and firmware I disassembled my device and I identified the following:
CHIP 1:
HUNIX KOR
HY27UT088G2A
TPCB 806AA
M8XJ5049AJ
CHIP 2:
AK 1025
6AU31AB OAQ
CHIP 3:
SP3767AHN
Q7LT35
I found and installed 2 windows drivers for my device:
1.
S1MP3 ADFU Device
2.
USB 2.0 (FS) ADFU Device
1. When I installed first driver (
S1MP3 ADFU Device), the device appear under the "
Device and Printers" category as "
S1MP3 ADFU Device", but it is not available as a removable storage disk.
A. At first I try to use "
MP3 Player Upgrade Tool" to upgrade the device firmware, hoping that after this I can detect the device as a removable storage disk and than I can format it.
At opening "
MP3 Player Utilities 4.05-> MP3 Player Upgrade Tool" application throw the following error message and it stops.
"
Device not detected!"
B. I try to use
s1clone, version 21.
- I select option "
Read flash-image from s1mp3 player"
- I check option "
Format disk" and press "Next" button
- application starts, enter in the "
Processing operation..." mode, the format fail and application throw the error message "
The system cannot write to the specified device" and it stops, just like in the following image
This is the complete log throw by the application:
format disk...
The system cannot find the file specified.
error: failed to format disk.

The system cannot write to the specified device.
2. When I installed second driver (
USB 2.0 (FS) ADFU Device), the device appear under the "
Device and Printers" category as "
USB 2.0 (FS) ADFU Device", but it is not available as a removable storage disk.
A. At first I try to use "
MP3 Player Upgrade Tool" to upgrade the device firmware, hoping that after this I can detect the device as a removable storage disk and than I can format it.
- I've opened "
MP3 Player Utilities 4.05-> MP3 Player Upgrade Tool" application.
- At opening appear this message
"
It is recover state, and select the firmware file for recovering please!".
- After confirming and selecting the file containing the device firmware the application open and then I press the "
Recover firmware" button.
- After that application throw the following error message and it stops.
"
Read or write device information failed! Please exit the program and check if device is connecting!"
B. I try to use
s1clone, version 21.
- I select option "
Read flash-image from s1mp3 player"
- I check option "
Format disk" and press "Next" button
- application starts, enter in the "
Processing operation..." mode, the format fail and application remains stacked after the line "open device:\\?\usb#vid_10d6&pid_ff66#...", just like in the following image
Neither of the two drivers solutions tried by me succeeds, the problem still being maintained, device hanging at startup in the hourglass image.
If someone can help me I would be grateful.
Thank you.
