DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE

die · #**331** (**permalink**) 9th Nov 2006, 5:40 am

hi everyone,
first i encountered the "format error" whenever i put over 20 songs in my so called ipod nano 8gb mp4 player (with ipod label in-front) which i bought during my trip to china. i read from this forum to do a full format with the HP program in order to correct the disk space true reading. after the format it only has a capacity of 108mb. sigh....

once i formatted and re-plug my mp4 player, it only shows a blank (black)screen like it isn't turned on. also, my windows xp can sometimes recognised the drive and sometimes will pop up a message saying my usb device has malfuctioned and re-plug it.

i upgraded the firmware with the mp3 player utilities 3.68 which i found here http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firm...-mb-df357.html and http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-version-3537-df182.html but it didn't help, everytime i plug in my mp4 it just blank.

these are some info i found on the chips inside the case:
ATJ2051H
F7116AB 583
The silver cover has a serial: YM5387WZSZB

can anyone pls help. i have been looking in this forum for a solution for hours but i can't find any similar to mine.

If read all comments, tried more an more bin files, but maybe tadad can help me, i have open a thread but nog reaction yet. This is the
Thread with foto of my nano look . I used many complete firmware, and still have a blue screen after upgrading to full firmware, this means that its still isn't the right one.

Hopefully Tadad you can help me....

drogekloot, In most cases the Full Version firmware will not fully recover your player but once loaded you will be able to use backup dump.bin files to recover your player. There are a lot more dump files available so you then have a better chance of finding one that works.

Thanks tadad1,
I shorted my player and Windows can read it now.
I'll try some more fw.

This guide is great
But I'm stuck at the final step
I can not find the suitable totally dumb dump.bin file here
Oh god, how can I forget to create the backup file before upgrading the firmware ?
I can never find it

But now when I get to the last step to load the new firmware it sometimes says device not detected when opening the mp3 utilities so I turn off the player and turn it back on again and open the update utilities again then it says - device switching failed, reconnect device please!-. But now there is life as I get the blank blue screen while its plugged to the computer which it was not doing that before. So we are getting there I think. Thanks!

Dude....!

My mp3 player is ded, wen i conect him to the usb port is recognised as ADFU Server Device.
But wene I want to write my firmwere the program stopes the progres at the middle part (downloading the restorable main program). :shock:
Wat can I dooooooo????? :cry:

tadad1 · #**339** (**permalink**) 23rd Nov 2006, 5:21 am

muratu. If your player is being recognised as an ADFU Device then it is in recovery mode and you need to be loading a full verison firmware to your player as the player will not accept a dump in recovey mode. Once you have loaded the full version then you can try and load your dump.

I notice from your other posts that your player uses 9.0.43 firmware you will find a few full versions in the Download section howwever I think they are all for 1.8 inch players not 1.5 so they may not help. I suggest you try loading one of the full firmware then try your dump.

I tried all the fw files and everi one is making the same proablem, stoping at 30% progres. and the dump files arn't warkig(invalid firmwere file)
Wat can I doo?
