New Player Dead. Can't repair

Manhunter · #1 (**permalink**) 31st Oct 2006, 11:41 am

Hi,
I've got a 2GB 1,5" Nano Clone MP4 Player a few days ago, but today nothing works

I made a backup of my Firmware yesterday (9.0.42), but i can't repair it with the repair.bat of s1fwx.exe

Code:

repaid dumped firmware file...
backup file to 'dump.bi$'...
try to repair Firmware...
error: repairing file failed

i also tried to recover with other firmwares from the downloadsection here, but i can't copy any firmware

process stands still or gives out a error message and then shutdown the Upgrade Tool.

Processor: ATJ2097H
Chip: SAMSUNG 643 - K9HA608UIM - PCB0

If i turn my MP4 Player on or plug in my USB Cable, there is just a hour glass on the display, nothing else. If i connect my USB cable to it, i hear the Windows Sound of connecting @ plugging in and disconnecting @ plugging out

Hope you guys can help me

1) What error you are getting from the tool ?

2) If you have made a dump.. Have you tried the dead player recovery guide ? it should help...

If you needed anything write me. But I might not know...

I've read the guide, but i can't repair my dump!

With the Update Tool from the MP3 Player Utilities 3.5.02 Pack i get the following error: Ivalid Upgrade firmware file!
and with the 4.05 Version: Read or write device information failed! Please exit the program and check if device is connecting!

Well do not follow the guide until you are sure you can put t your player back to this stadium

Manhunter, At the moment there is no way to make a viable backup of the 9.0.XX version firmware. None of the firmware on site will work for your player because they are for the ATJ2085 chip your ATJ2097 is a newer version.

The only way you are going to be able to recover your player is with a full version firmware. I suggest you contact your supplier to see if they can send you a copy.
Some players also come with a copy of the firmware on the mini CD.

I have a full 9.0.43 but it is for 1.8LCD so will be no use to you. If you upload your firmware to www.sendspace.com and leave a link so I can download it I will see if I can merge it.

thanks, hope it works... i have a mini CD, but there is just Windows Media Player 9 and the MP3 Player Utilities on it

thats my unrepairable Firmware dump

would be nice if someone would have a firmware for my MP4 Player or that it will be possible to do it like the other firmwares (repairing and recovery etc.)

sorry for my impatience, but i wan't do ask if someone have the full firmware for recovery (on the delivered mini CD or sth.) and could upload it.
It's so boring if i have nothing to do and there is no music
