"Read or Write device information failed"

[GDSGFT]

Serp, this MAY help.

Like I stated, I had the same problem as yourself. Upon read/write, the device would deactivate from the system.

I brought my player back to life (dead player guide) and left it detected and switched on for about 24hrs.

I then used player utilities 1.45 to upgrade the full firware!

I no longer had that message, although it could be a complete conincidence, it's worth a shot.

I'm still trying to get the proper firmware for my player though. I always seem to get this far, and then it's back to step one again.

All the best.

GDSGFT, Good point you make about leaving it connected for a while. If the battery is flat and the player is drawing power from the usb to run going into safe mode may interupt the power supply and retart the player. Leaving it as you did may have charged the battery.

I tried it!
The same problem...no fix yet!

serp, I have uploaded an old version 1.47 of the Upgrade Tool HERE . You must uninstall all other versions before installing it. Some users have reported that it works when all other versions failed.

Still having the same problem with version 1.47!
Thanks a lot anyway!

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen.... "ecco" one more guy with this problem.... =(

Serp, my manufacturer has recently emailed me with my players original firmware. I tried uploading it to the site but the connection kept timing itself out for some reason, might try again later.

Anyway, it's a 2g nano fake firmware. made for a 1.8"TFT screen, although i'm led to believe it's compatible with some 1.5"s.

I had the same problem as you. What I thought was the right firmware would not get recognised by the update tool.

What I believe was innappropriate firmware would load instantly.

the 20+ firmwares I tried would load onto the player in a matter of seconds.

The original firmware took close to 3minutes! From then, I knew I had the right firmware.

Anyhow, here's a pic of my player

If you (or anyone) for that matter need firmware for the player above or one fairly similar, PM ME.

Mod/admin, I'll try uploading again some time tommorrow. If all fails, i'll send one of you guys the firmware to upload onto the site.

Thanks.

All the best.

GDSGFT, Good news to hear you got your player going again and thankyou for uploading it. If you are still having problems the next time you try it may be easier to load it to ezshare.de and leave a link for download.
There is a entry on the upload page for a link.

Thanks again.
