hacked
 
after buying 2 mp4 hacked from sellers best2all8888 (32gb was hacked 4gb) and cypress_network (also a 32gb hacked was 4gb) mp4 i asked the seller hitech2day if his product 16GB 2.8" Touch Screen MP3 MP4 Player Camera 16G FM Rec was real 16gb and not hacked memory, he answered me it was, but then surprise, i was blocked to bid on his items

then i asked the seller xoldskool the same thing about his product 16GB 2.8" Touch Screen MP3 MP4 RMVB Media Player Camera he also answered it was real 16gb, and then again i was blocked to bid on his items.

so the thing is that best2all8888 and cypress_network are selling hacked 32GB mp4 and hitech2day and xoldskool are probably the same so be careful.

I bought 2x 32 gb mp3 mp4 of these rizone players in june this year and up until now Only used 1 of them with no problems but I tried to sell the other 1 last week and managed to load a file on it for my customer (with a bit of difficulty) I even managed to get it to work after a fashion, but when he tried to use it his computer did not recognize it & now I cant access it, I am just getting the HELLO screen & nothing else, I believe the firmware is corrupt, I have been in touch with the suppliers and informed them both of the problem. Both = They came from 2 different suppliers, as I said the other one is working without any faults.I will cross my fingers and see what happens, let you know the results.

Thanks for letting us know.
Do you have a link to the auction or something?
Did you end up filing a dispute and try to get a partical refund?

Heres the auction I bought it at:

16GB USB Touch Screen MP3 MP4 MP5 RM RMVB Player Camera - eBay (item 180435404866 end time Dec-04-09 19:49:10 PST)

Yes I did file a dispute for partial refund but no reply yet and the user seems to have no auctions going at the moment...odd.

Thanks to this site I have found out about these memory hacks!


BTW now my player is not booting up and stops on the loading screen after using H2testw...any solutions?

stellaluna 18th Dec 2009 6:57 pm

chingching688 is a horrible Ebay Seller as well, He sells Hacked flash Memory....!!!

ians1 28th Mar 2010 2:20 am

Maybe add

eBay My World - supernova9106

not had a reply from him either and still waiting on a delivery of the touch screen one which I almost sure will be a fake memory job

ians1 28th Mar 2010 2:28 am

I recommend we go to these sellers listings of know suspect items and click on the "Report Item" flag and that way ebay will get some idea that they may have a big big problem here!

The category to chose is "Fraudulent Listing" and chose the sub option that you "didn't bid" and enter a brief description, eg "Seller claims device is 16Gb whereas there is proof its 4Gb" and so on

May work ;)

32Gb ripoff (still on sale on ebay every day)
 
Hello, I'm new to this. I bought a "32gb touch screen" etc etc. Looked Ok when it arrived, Vista and XP said it was 32gb (how little I know). After loading about 80 music files I started getting format errors and 'File not exist'. I spent weeks, deleting, reformatting, adding files, trying different video convert programs, screen settings, codecs etc etc. Eventually I found this website (mympx.org) and tools to evaulate the true memory of my player. It turns out I have about 3.8Gb not 32Gb. As soon as I load more than 3.8 Gb it all goes pear shaped. I contacted the seller and he gave me a 50% refund but I've wasted so much of my time, thinking it was me being stupid with the video settings or something. Anyway, as a newbie to complaning to ebay or paypal, (never had a problem with ebay before) what do you all suggest I do?. Go for a full refund? or take it as a lesson learned?. It's time these sellers were STOPPED from advertising these things. Unfortunately I also bought a 16Gb (different seller) for my wife and when it arrived dead I sent it back to China. I don't know if I'll get any sort of refund or even a response. Can Ebay or Paypal sort this for me if I don't?? Good luck to all of you with your bad purchases.

ians1 8th Jun 2010 3:12 pm

I think ebay should put a health warning on ALL these types of listings, something like "MAY CONTAIN FAKE FLASH MEMORY DEVICES: STATED CAPACITY MAY BE A GROSS EXAGGERATION - ALWAYS TEST MEMORY ON RECEIPT - ALWAYS LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IF MEMORY IS NOT AS STATED"

On the subject of claims ebay says:-

"
If you've had a problem with your purchase, contact us so we can help.
  • You'll need to wait at least 3 days after the estimated delivery date or 7 days after payment if you weren't given an estimated delivery date.
  • You have up to 45 days after you paid to file a claim.
  • The seller has up to 10 days to respond to your claim.

Can you add goldseller2011. Sold an 8G unit but when I tried to copy over 2G it completly killed it. Opend up the unit and it had a 2G samsung chip (K9AG08U0D). Have added it to the pettition already.


For info Auction link is

8GB LCD Mp3 Player Mini Metal Clip Mp3 FM Radio Black - eBay, iPod MP3 Players, Electronics. (end time 08-Jun-10 00:57:36 AEST)


Ok gave up waiting. posted neg feedback, contacted ebay, posted a dispute with paypal, posted a complain with ic3 and have started contacting the people from his feedback list that purchased the same unit. See how much of a headache that gives him.

jpcw 9th Jun 2010 6:56 am

Has anyone gotten one of these units.
LECTEUR MP3 MP4 8GO 8GB ECRAN TACTILE 2,8 FM DV Caméra - eBay, Lecteurs MP3, Multimédia, Image, TV, Son. (end time 04-Jun-10 05:47:00 AEST)
from the above posts I suspect that when it arives I'll find it is not really 8G and after my last experiance I really want to know before I kill the unit like I did with the last one. I wish I had found this site before buying these two players :(

EDIT - Well the unit has arived and so far I am plesantly supprised. Tested about 4.05gb out of the 8g and no errors or problems. testing the rest now.

EDIT 2 - Ok I an surprised, the unit passed all tests and realy is an 8g unit. I would recommend the seller, just wish the first guy was as good.
