Fat32 and Fat
 

hey
im facing a huge problem with a mp4.It is not mine.one of my friend bought it.after purchasing the mp4 she has used it only for one day.then she has accidently formatted the drive with fat32 system and then the player doesnt work anymore.a blue screen and a waiting sign arises on the mp4.then i have upgraded the firmware with the version 3.5.37.now the pc detects the player.it shows two drives.one contains 8gb space and another 3mb.the 3mb storage is a fat sile systemed storage and the 8 gb is fat 32.i can copy songs to the drive.but i cannt play those.when i turn on the player a black screen arises.
on the manual of the player they wrote that it only supports fat not fat32.
there was also written that if i convert it to fat32 then there is also a way to come back to the fat system.but they didnt wrote how.
now plz anyone can help me to recover the player??

Re: Fat32 and Fat
 

You can try formatting with the MP3 Utitilies Disk Tool or HP Format Tool from the download section.

Is the player still working now? Is the firmware you upgraded extracted from your player or someone elses?

You mentioned that when you turn on it, there is a black screen. It might be that you upgraded with an incompatible firmware. But try formatting with the tools mentioned above and follow up on this.

ahsanbhai, If your player is an 8GB player it is hacked so it may give you problems formatting it. Try using the Windows Disk Manager to format it by right clicking on My Computer, choose Manage, go to Disk Manager, right click on your player and choose format Fat. You will find once you manage to format in FAT that the true size of your chip will show.
To check the chips true size you will need to open the player and check the memory chip details against this list HERE ,

Unfortunatly reloading firmware has lost any guarantee you may have had so your only chance of recovery is to try other firmware till you find one compatible with your player.

tadad1 i hve recovered the player.now i can listen the songs.but the players screen is very lazy.i can only see a very light pictures.even i cant read the menu.yesterday night i hve opened the player.i got these specifications.Hynix kor HY27UF081G2M
and the player is now running in fat32 format.that means fat32 is not a problem for this player.it shows 8gb space.do i can really use all these spaces?or it is fake?
and plz the solution for the lcd.i cant see anything clearly.right now im using the firmware- Full3[1].5.35

Re: Fat32 and Fat
 

im also not sure abt which firmware should i use/
can anyone tell me that Hynix HY27UF081G2M uses which original firmware?

ahsanbhai

So the screen is just really light? You mean like the contrast is too high or low on it?

If that is the case, then you can use "Firmware Modifer" from the [Downloads] section to change your firmware and increase or decrease the contrast level.

If that's not it, write more about your 'lazy screen'.

Hope that helps.

I dont think that it is the problem of the contrast related thing.The LCD screen looks like a greenish screen where u cant read anything,thats for sure .
I can listen the songs by pressing the menu key twice.even i cant see any folders.and i dont know abt the original sound quality abt the player,but right now the sound is very low.if u stay in a crowed place then surely u cant hear the sound of the player.I have increased the volume but the highest volume seems to me very low.I think this is the problem of the firmware.i need the original fw of Hynix HY27UF081G2M .can u plz give me the link for downloading the fw?

ahsanbhai, you will need to provide more details of your player (board number, processor number, lcd number, etc) so that some one with a similiar player with yours could help you by sending you their firmware or link.
The Hynix HY27UF081G2M is the memory chip.
You are almost there, you just need the compatible firmware to get everything working back in order.

I have opened the player and got these specifications from there.
Hynix Kor
HY27UF081G2M
TCB 547A
there wasnt anything else without these specifications.

ahsanbhai, Sorry but it is not possible to tell you what firmware you need. The chip number is meaningless other than to say that your player has a 128MB chip. The firmware needs to match your LCD size and type, the mainboard specifications, button configuration, cpu chipset, radio chip if you have one etc ..... the memory chip is possibly the least important factor.
The problem is that like you most people do not know all this information they just know they have a 1GB black nano clone with a 1.5 screen and the firmware version is 3.5.37.
Your only option is to keep trying random firmware for your screen size until you find one that works. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no quick fix for your problem.

but tadad1 dont u think that it is a very much complicated and long process ?i already have checked 8-9 firmwares.among them 2-3 worked with the player.But as i have said the problem of lcd occurs then.i dont know abt the highest space of the player.it shows 8gb.The packet it contains wrote that it has 2 gb space.but surely it has some huge space.I already used more than 2 gb.Now is their any other solution for the player??

Re: Fat32 and Fat
 

ahsanbhai, you don't really have any other options to recover your player besides keep trying with random firmwares. It is all trial & error, some people gets a compatible firmware on the 1st attempt, some a few, and some totally can't recover with every single firmware they tried.

And according to the Hynix datasheet, the HY27UF081G2M is a 128MB memory chip.
