Hello buddies.

I bought two MP4 (Merlin) in the Paraguay, theoretically equals.
I extracted the firmware of one of them, made some alterations and sent to device. All good until then.
I caught the other device, and trusting to be equal to the first one, I sent the firmware modified. Great mistake. It only appears a blue screen. The PC identifies as a flash disk, but the blue screen persists.
The interesting one is the device that still works has Merlin written in blue, and the other that have the blue screen error is written Merlin in Grey. I tested a infinity of firmwares, but none works. I would like some help.
If somebody has a MP4 equal of mine, please send me the firwmare, or if somebody knows the right firmware I will be thankful

I was trying anothers firmwares when one of them crash my mp4.
Now, when I turn on it, only blink the blue screen, and the pc doesn't recognize it anymore.

I cannot use the Update Tool. It's only blinking the screen
Someone knows how to solve this problem?

I appreciate any help!

junioanimal, If the Update tool is no longer detecting your player you will need to follow the Dead Player Recovery Guide HERE to reset your player and upload new firmware.

Hello Budies. I got recover my Mp4.

The detail is this model doesn't have screlws. So you have to put a knife or something like that, between the plastic part and the metal part, and open like this.

After this, I use the Recovery Guide, and I used a DUMP file of the download section. Is working 100%.

Thanks a lot
