DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE

coldspring · #**811** (**permalink**) 30th Oct 2007, 6:08 am

I have 4 identical chIpod shuffles which I purchased in China.

When a went to use the devices I kill two of them when I fully loaded the supposedly 4G player. It was then I figured out that I actually had 1G player. I followed the How to fix hacked chIpod instructions and fixed the remaining two machines to run as 1G player.

I then when about trying to recover the Dead chipods. Following the instructions and postings on this board, I have set the player into ADUF rescue mode. Now I need to load a full firmware version.

Going to http://www.exoticsa.com/2007/

I downloaded the 4.15 tool and used it to look at the firmware version on my working chipods: Bother were Wilson Co LTD version 9.1.51 firmware.

Then from the same site, I downloaded DIGIPOD SD-18N and uncompressed the firmware. At this time I added an .fw extension so that the MP3 utility can recognize the file.

When I open the file using the 4.15 MP3 utility the SD-18N.fw file is recognized as Wilson Co LTD version 9.1.51. When I hook my Player in ADUF mode in to the USB port the MP3 utility recognizes the player and said it is ready of upgrade. I tell it to upgrade the firmware and the utility
upgrades to player and indicates that the firmware installation was successful.

At this point the ADUF device disappears from the USB items listed under the Hardware Device Manager.

This is where my troubles start! I can not find the player anywhere on the PC. It is not recognized as a flash drive or a hard disk. It is nowhere to be found.

I then turn off the player and remove it from the USB port. I wait a couple of minutes and then reboot the player and wait a few more minutes so that it has had more than enough time to boot.

When I plug the play back into my computers USB port. Win XP Pro makes a sound like it just noticed a new USB device, but I can not find the device anywhere in the Device Manager or Using Windows Explorer.

The MP3 utility or MP3 disk format programs do not recognize the player either.

I have read one post that said I may have to format the MP3 drive from windows, but I have no idea how to do that being I can not find the device on the system.

Please Help!

To get your Rockchip player into "upgrade mode" all you do is this,

1) Switch the player OFF using the main on/off switch.

2) Hold down the "MENU" or the "PLAY" button and keep it held down.(try the other buttons if these dont work)

3) Connect the usb to the player.

4) Wait for about 10 seconds before releasing the menu key.

5) You are now in "RockUSB" upgrade mode!

6) Then just Start ConsumerUpdate and upload a working firmware and try it!

You may like to try the firmware I used to recover my player with it's the same screen size as yours :-

I hope you can get your player back.
