IT's ALIVE, IT's ALIVE
 

All righty, I couldn't resist and F/W'ed my player. With the WRONG firmware. I have seen the white screen :shock:. It was soooo bight... and my hands were trembling a bit. After invoking some divine help, got the 4 glacier firmwares from uxcell and started flashing the player. And guess what: IT's ALIVE! The whole thing lasted less than 5 minutes hehe :D. And the best part: Now i have a game in it :D :D, russia blocks. This is SOOO cool. So i'll post my specs here because Nexus Electronics SRL wich is a romanian seller of these players (in fact the only distributor i am aware of) sold this stuff all over the country. So it is very likely that many people with glacier-like nexus nomad players will come here for firmware. Here's the stuff:

I used this firmware for it: Thank you so much for all your guides! Also, i found out a very important thing: To get it to be recognised as an ADFU device, all i did was to connect it to the USB cable with no battery in ;). So you can try this on your (dead) players and see if it works for you too, because there's a risk to actually burn the memory chip :D.

@tadad1, admin: I really owe you guys a beer! If you ever get to Romania, e-mail me ;)

Hi again. I found a glitch but resolved it. It seems that the firmware i used works, except for the f**king speaker. So as i know very tiny bit of russian i searched the web and found A 100% WORKING FIRMWARE. It's from the russian glacier-type distributor, called DaZed. Their 9.0.50 firmware worked perfectly... And now i have 4 games on the player hehe :D.

alex2pb,

That's great to hear!
Thanks for sharing this with us, much appreciated.

I will upload that firmware to this site. Do you have a picture or image of your player as well?

What tool did you use to flash your player (as I see you have the 9.1.51 firmware).

God i'm glad this worked! I used this:

MP3 Player Utilities 4.05 -> got the from UXCELL Support area, for Glacier

Also here are the pics, fresh, taken minutes ago :)

At first thnx Alex.

So my brother bought him a new mp3 player and i got his glacier looking one. (Same looking as Alex but black) But it has problem- it keeps restarting itself?!?

I decided to try and replace the FW:P
Thanks to Alex i got the right ones again (the russia one), but the restarting issue still keeps going - can anyone help me with that?

Hi there est! Here's what you need to do... Put some paper under the batery to push it up and try to use it. The restarting is because at these models, the battery connectors are not well made and the battery doesn't touch the connectors properly. I hope this helps :).

Re: IT's ALIVE, IT's ALIVE
 

will try it immediately

Hiya

Any chance you can make that firmware version available for download? I don't seem to be able to get it & it could well be what I need as my player looks exactly same as yours.

Cheers

scatwell, please, if your player works DO NOT update the firmware. You have 100% chances to DESTROY IT FOREVER if the firmware is not designed for that motherboard your player has. Please reconsider it before doing something like this.

Here is the link for the file that worked 4 me:
