Help Please... Firmware Wrong I Think
 

Ok... am a new member, Just got my mpx player today may I add its one cool player.. 1 downside is the horrible pics etc... so i tried to update the firmware to a ipod based firmware. Anyways Ive done a back up of my old firmware etc and done it by the book but now my player wont turn on but is reconignzed by my OS (WIN XP) and I can still sync mp3's via windows media player.

Sadly it wont let me update the firmware bk to the orignal using MP3 Player Upgrade Tool it turns round saying the following "Device switching failed, reconnect the device please". Is there any other program that will update the firmware or do I have to take the player apart and reset the chip (feel ok in doing this as long as it fix's the problem)

Hope I havent broke it permently like, cant see I have cause it wouldn't reconize it other wise would it ?

Any help will be fantasic...

Thanxs

Dazza-E-, you could try formating the player with the MP3 Disk Tool or Windows, use the FAT format.
When complete try to reload your original firmware backup. If the device is still not being recognised by the upgrade tool you may have to reset the chip. Be aware though that if you reset the chip you will need to load a full version firmware before you can load your backup. In the DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE there is a link to a full firmware that I have used on 2 different players with success.

The mp3/mp4 plyer i have is a 4GB player... is there a firmware for that type of player.. that seems to be the problem even though it has accepted your firmware it has just made the scrren worse it doesnt play now and is just on a ablack screen permantly.

Dazza-E-
have you applied your backup firmware?

I attempted too and it wouldnt update it for some reason or other... maybe i shud of made a full proper back up using a different tool and not the partial one using s1fwx, do you have any more idea's ? It is gettin detected by the computer again with you firmware just the screen is permenatly black.

PS it only seems to accept your firmware still.

Dazza-E-, Format the player then try your backup.

Dazza-E-, Also did you run the repair.bat when you extracted your backup with s1fwx. By the way there are no programs that will back up the entire FW.

Yer I did i followed the actual thing word for word on the website i dunno what the hell is up with this thing. Was meant to be in work today but not at all well. Is my player dead ?

if it helps the chip is a :-

samsung 619
k9wago8uia
pcbo
fuca14pb

if thats any help?

When i go to use the disk tool to format the drive I get this message:-

"Not supporting this disk type"

and windows will only allow me to format the drive as a FAT32 should I proceed with this format ?

Also the player will not work with MP3 Player upgrade tool as I get the message device switching failed, reconnect drive please. Think thats all the infomation I can give for now..
