Need help with my new OMEGA V88 mp4 player

[mpxguy]

Hello Everyone, I am new here at www.mympxplayer.org and I'm in need of help. I've recently purchased an OMEGA V88 mp4 player from ebay off some guy named discounttown. I bought it for 64 USD and it is a 2GB player. I just downloaded the firmware that came on the CD that was included with the mp4 player. Now, all the music, videos, and other info was deleted. Not only that, but the speaker stoped working. All I know now is that the firmware now reads 00.01.0007. I opened the player and wrote down the chip numbers on a peice of paper but I misplaced it. Im too afraid to open my player up again so if anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it.

mpxguy , you probably would have bricked your player with an incompatible firmware update.

You'll need a firmware, since discounttown is a division of uxcell, try this firmware off uxcell's site http://www.uxcell.com/tech-support-d..._OMEGA_V88.zip

You'll also need ConsumerUpdate, there are a few in the downloads section

Try the following steps by knob:

1) Switch the player OFF using the main on/off switch.

2) Hold down the menu key and keep it held down.(may be a different key for you but there are only 5 to try anyway)

3) Connect the usb to the player.

4) Wait for about 10 seconds before releasing the menu key.

5) You are now in upgrade mode!

6) Then just connect ConsumerUpdate and upload a working firmware and try it!

ConsumerUpdate should also REBOOT the player before starting the upgrade.

Thank you lattesurf. I'll post the results later on.

Don't panic... you don't say if your DAP is working... I suppose it is... which is good and can be even better.
1.- It's absolutely normal that your device delete all was in there, as firmware have replaced that one that cames installed. This is a dirty Chinese distributors trick that delivers a cd with non-corresponding firmware
2.- That version of firmware 00.01.0007 doesn't support external speaker.
3.- Have your buttons acting differently than original?... for instance to reach option you cover upper button instead of lower one?
3.- If your device is still working after all this problems... then you can have better news... maybe you can start installing Teclast firmwares. For Omega V88 should be Teclast C260 posted here by me.
If this is the case you'll be a very lucky person because Teclast firmware adds more functionalities to your DAP, delivering upgrades frequently ... but with NO external speaker
If you like back your external speakers reinstall the software provided by lattesurf.
If you don't... go for the Teclast stuff which have more support than any other rockchip DAP inlcuding a nice fansite: www.teclasters.com
Let us know what you have choose

About Consumer Update...

It exist lots of versions, at least 5, but there are 2 series that I'm starting to understand what they means:
No Dog series... just replace the firmware without any advice, which seems to be this case.
Refresh Firmware series... gives a warning before proceed announcing that flash will be deleted.

There are very some dangerous version like 2.4 that was the one who killed my USB port... happily recovered with the "short circuit strategy"

Teclast is using CU Refresh Firmware 2.7.4 for better results.

I uploaded the firmware from the link but it is the same firmware.

Answer me please... is your DAP functional right now?
With he problems you explained of course
Can you ply some music?

[mpxguy]

It is functional. I am now looking for compatible teclast firmware.

[lattesurf]

mpxguy , since it is functioning properly i would not suggest doing anything to the firmware. Firmware flashing should only be done for dead players. With the exception of Teclast & Meizu players where the company regularly releases new firmware.
