Sergy,
How did your player die?
Do you have a backup of your original firmware?
Have you tried loading firmware to your player?
Do you get any messages when you try to load firmware to your player?

Hihi.
Ok. I’ll try to tell you more step by step.
1. My player died when i switch it off from data-cable (which connected to my PC) not using the “secure disconnexion”, then I tried to turn it on, but it was only blue screen and nothing else. :(
2. Unfortunately, I have no backup of my player therefore I came here to find the solve of my problem… :cry:
3. Yes, I’ve tried to load some f/w located on this site, but I have no clear idea what kind of f/w my player requires… :(
4. When I try to load f/w I got some messages like “This f/w is not supported by this type of device” and screen is still blue and (I repeat) my PC define it as ADFU device. I tried to load f/w downloaded here: http://www.mympxplayer.org/dload.php...ile&file_id=56. but it didn’t help me (perhaps ‘cause my player has 512 Mb memory). At the same time menu of admin’s player is exactly such as mine.


What should I do next?
Any questions concerning to my playa – I’ll answer them!

Wowland, If your player is being recognised as an ADFU Device it is in recovery mode and will not accept a standard firmware dump. You will need to use a full version firmware, there are a few on site HERE.
Once you have loaded a full firmware your player should then appear as a removable storage device and you should be able to load standard firmware dump.bin.
Finding the right firmware may require some searching. I suggest you download s1res HERE. You can use s1res to look inside the firmware and see the images used for menus, start and shutdown screens etc. Try and find ones that use the same images as your original firmware.

So just to be clear

1. Load a full version firmware to ADFU Device then format your player.
2. Download and check some firmware dump files with s1res.
3. Try loading any firmware you find that have similar images as your original firmware had.

Let me know how you progress.

Howdy, pal!
Sorry that I didn't reply to you, 'cause I'd got no time to connect to Internet (was very busy) :)
So, in a day or two I'll try to follow instructions you gave me.
And of course I'll tell you the result.
Thanx 4 good things which you doin'.
Sincerely yours. :P

----------------------------

Unfortunately, when I try to load a full version firmware placed there, I've a problem which you can see below:

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

Somebody help me! Please!!! :cry:

The flash error can be because :
1) You are uploading dump files when your palyer is in recovery mode. NO ! You have to uupload FULL firmware
2) The firmware don t linke your player ;)
Your chip code is ANP2085 I think... but the photo is too bad to make me see it exactly... so look for it...
3) You have uploaded bad full firmware - you should connect the pins again !

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

how do i connect the pins?plizz help me quickly.I've damaged my friend's mp4. :cry: it's mp4 s1 mp3.

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

geni , what Groovy meant was the shorting of the pins as outlined in the Dead Player Recovery guide Here. But only short the pins IF the MP3 Utilities Upgrade Tool does not detect your player.

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

but i don't know where is my pin?

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

could u show me the pin of player of Wowland?my player is similar to his.I cant' dectect anh don't know which is pin.thanks

sorry,im so stupid.i realize that in fact i can't dectec the chip of my player.

here is pic :http://h1.ripway.com/geni/player.JPG

sorry it's so dim

I don t understand what you need then...

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

i don't know which is the chip.I observed and don't see any thing like pin on it!here is hte pic:http://h1.ripway.com/geni/h.JPG

i'tried but my player can't get adfu mode.It hasn't any signal!

Man look on the picture in the DEAD PLAYER RECOVERY GUIDE...
Then try connecting the pins with many things... ( knife etc..), but be carefull !!!!!! DO not destroy it !
And you have to try it longer... it takes sometimes to 2 minutes of trying to get the Adfu... and you have to have it connected in udb and turned on !

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

Groovy, friend, you right, my chip has # APN 2085
So, I've tried to load all f/w placed on this site (e.g. "3.5.37v2.1b FM.fw", "Full3.5.35", "3.2.13_FM" and so on...).
And when I try to load it is "Flash error"...
As I understand, there is only one way 4 me. This way is to connect the pins again. Isn't so?
How could I know what version of firmware is suitable for my mp3 player???

Thx in advance.

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

Wowland , you might want to try using different versions of MP3 Utilities to flash the player instead as suggested by nickyblast Here.
Hopefully it solves the flash error problem.

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

Thank you, friend.
I'll try 4.05 tools.

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

Unfortunately, my problem hadn't been solved....
Software 4.05 didn't help me... :(

Re: My dead mp3/mp4 player
 

So, I've decided to throw it out.
Good luck for all who have patience to take over with their mpX player.
From Russia with love :wink:
