Adrian, you'll need to download the s1fwx tool from the tools section of this site. Here's a link to it:
http://mympxplayer.com/dload.php?action=file&file_id=15
Click on download button near the bottom of the page.

Connect your friend's player to the usb port. Then open the s1fwx folder and click on extract.bat. The tool will detect and display the driver letter. Select that driver and the tool will extract the full firmware as a dump.bin file.

Then connect your player and upgrade with that dump.bin

***By the way, do make sure that your friend has the firmware that's similar to the original firmware you had on your player or else you might end up killing your player and you'll have to open it up to short circuit.

You said you have a backup firmware: How did you backup your firmware? Any reason in particular why it doesn't work when you try to recover your player? What's the message that the upgrade tool gives when you try to recover with the backup?

I have done that thing with the s1fwx but when I try to upgrade it say Now is recover state , and select the firmware file for recovering please ! And whwn I select the dump file message goes Invalid upgrade firmware file!

Have you run the "repair.bat" file again that .bin firmware file? You will need to before you can use it to upgrade your player. If you have, then it looks like that firmware file is not compatible with your player.

Let me know.

Repairing file failed. Is this the problem ?

[Adrian]

This is player that looks like the one I have.

Adrian, What was the firmware version of your player and what type of player is it. Please give me some more details as I just recovered a Nano Clone 1.5 LCD 1GB storage Firmware Version 3.5.35 and may be able to help.

If repairing failed, then it might have been 'repaired' already. So that's fine.

If you can't upload it, then it's most likely the firmware isn't compatible with your player that's all.

I would say trying a different one.....

Good luck.

It is Nano Clone. On the label on back of the box : " MPT4P MP3 PLAYER MP4 512MB " From China. Thank you all for reply.

Adriean, In the name of science last night I purposely set out to kill my player with a bad firmware upgrade. It was not an easy task after trying 6 versions of firmware that were not accepted by my player I finally managed to do it because the upgrade program crashed leaving my player with a black screen and no PC connection.

I do not know if it will help in your case but this is how I recovered my player which had a black screen, would not connect with my computer and continually turned itself on and off when plugged into the USB.

First I opened the player then turned it on and connected it to the computer, then using this post by arish_06

I shorted the memory chip with a pair of tweezers. The player was immediatly recognized by Windows as an ADFU device and it installed the drivers for this.

Then I opened the MP3 Upgrade tool that told me that the player was in repair mode and asked me to select a firmware file.

Note: If you have a backup of your firmware at this stage it is no good to you as it is not a complete firmware file and will give you an error message when you try to install it. You need to find a full version firmware. It may not have to be the same version as your original. My original was 3.5.35 and I used 3.5.37 to recover.

This is the one I used

Although it is not the right version for my player it is a full firmware and did install on my player. I then switched the player off for a few seconds and then back on. Although the player was not yet in a working state I was now in a position to update with my backup firmware dump.bin.

After doing so the player rebooted and was back to it's original state.

The hardest task is to find the firmware files you need. Files ending in .fw instead of .bin are more likley to be full version firmware. I suggest you download a selection of files before starting so that you have a few to choose from. Some of you may be reluctant to short your chip for fear of destroying it completely which is a possibility but if your player is not connecting with your pc and you can not upload firmware to it I do not see that you have much choice. A brain dead player is not much different than stone dead one.

I may have been lucky, but I hope this will help.
