guivarrichio, do you know what version your original firmware was?
Also please give more details about your player is it 1.5 or 1.8, how much memory does it have, what features did it have, anything you can think of will help track down an answer.

guivarrichio, if the device is being recognised as a ADFU device when you start the firmware upgrade tool you should get a recovery mode message, you need to find a full version firmware to recover your player, you could try your backup dump but you will most likely get an error message. The problem is finding a full version which is really a matter of trial and error. I would suggest downloading a few versions of 3.5.35 and open them with S1res which can be found in the download section. When you open the .bin file in s1res you will be able to look at all the image files inside so look for ones that have the same images as your player they will be your best bet.

Unfortunatly there is no sure fire fix for you rproblem and it could get worse before it gets better. Good luck man i hope all goes well, if you have any furthur questions just ask if I can help I will.

guivarrichio, do check to see if you have a backup full firmware on your mp4 cd that you got with your player. The file extension would be .bin or .fw

Guys, Unfortunately I don´t have a firmware file in my CD, sux.
Yes arish, it come up in recover mode all the times.

I´ll try to download as many as I can, do you guys have a download site, or something that can help me. I have downloaded all from s1mp3.org.

Pictures.

Hello guys again
This one seems to be like mine
http://www.s1mp3.org/files/firmware/...Nano_1.5_C2.7z

but it has more pictures then my player had....


is this a problem?
Can I erase what I don´t want?

guivarrichio, if you think the firmware is similar to your original, try upgrading with it first and see if anything works at all.

I don't see how exactly you would delete the pictures from the firmware and I don't think that would fix the problem...the firmware you're talking about may have a different loading format type than your original.

The upgrade firmware must be exactly the same as your original most of the times.

By the way, have you contacted your seller?
Also, does the board ID of your player match with the firmware that you gave the link to?

Hello Arish, Yeap, it´s similar to mine, but with additional pictures.
BTW, this is the problematic player.

And yes, I have contact the seller, but no answer yet...
Please help me my friend.

guivarrichio, thanx for the descriptive pictures.
I don't know if this would help but try uninstalling the mp3 utilities and installing it again.

I wonder why it says "check if device is connecting." :?:
Does your player behave weirdly during the upgrade...as in does it keep turning on and off if you let it be...

Maybe there's something interupping the usb connection...did you check if the usb cable was properly connected and all? And make sure no buttons are pressed on the player during the upgrade.

Arish, Thank you for everything, I let a lot of things beside to dedicate some time to put this to work again, and so do you. Thank you very much.

But as we could see we tried, tried and nothing seems to work, I have called the "seller",and this weekend I´ll go to the city I bought to try to get my money back, also, the ON/OFF button is broken, so, 1 more thing to make him give my money back.

He told me he will test and exchange the mp4 per another one.

Cross your fingers please.

see you friend.

guivarrichio, good luck getting your money back or an exchange mp4.

Maybe the broken ON/OFF button was the problem after all.

Let us know just in case you need further help.
