Wrong flashed Glacier CTW500
 

Hi,

I have flashed my Glacier with a wrong Firmware. Now I can't flash it again. Every time i put it in my USB I see just the Timeglass and an unknown USB Device.

I have tried the Drivers from the "MP3 Player Utilities v4.10" and "MP3 Player Utilities v4.15" but both dontwork... the "Glacier Repair Toolkit.pdf" dont help wit hthe short of the "tantalum capacitor"

I've used the "All Glacier Firmware" "Glacier_9.1.51.bin", and thought it was the right for my player, but it seems not :-)

Can somebody help me?

I've tried the "AdfuUpdate.inf" but it says, its not the right...

qwerik , what message does Windows tell you when you try to install ADFU?

1.push right mouse key on my computer>properties>Hardware>Driver signing>click inogre and ok
2.Install Adfu drivers
3.install to player this firmware http://www.uxcell.com/public/mp3upda...INE-061218.rar
4.player display should be white
5. install next firmware dump http://www.talpykla.com/files/2068/E...n%20second.rar
6.after update player should be alive :wink:

@lattesurf It says that it could not find the right software/driver

I have tried the Drivers from the "MP3 Player Utilities v4.10" and "MP3 Player Utilities v4.15" but both dontwork...

Now I try the driver from v4.05...

No chance, every time I try to install the "USB ADFU Device" i get the message "No software/driver" found"

qwerik , try these few steps to modify the ADFU file:

In the screen shot you attached above, Right Click on the USB Device and select Properties. A new window should now appear.

Select the Details tab and in the drop down menu, select Device Instance Id.

Look for a line that begins with something like this:
USB\VID_10D6&PID_xxxx .....

Note down the 4 characters denoted by the xxxx. For my case, it is 1100, it might be same or different for you.

Now open the ADFUupdate.inf file with notepad. Look for the section beginning with [upgrade]. Add the following below it:

%USB\VID_10D6&PID_xxxx.DeviceDesc%=MDisk.install,U SB\VID_10D6&PID_xxxx

Note that you'll need to enter the 4 characters you located earlier on into this line. Replace the 4x with the number you recorded, there are 2 of these to replace.

Now look for the [Version] section, and locate this line:

;ClassGUID=1181f4a0-f284-11d2-9068-00609797ea5a}

The numbers maybe different from mine, but the steps are the same.
Remove the semi-colon " ; " from the beginning, and add an open bracket " { " at the beginning of the numbers. So you should edit it to something like this:

ClassGUID={1181f4a0-f284-11d2-9068-00609797ea5a}

Finally save the new ADFUupdate.inf file, and try installing your player using this newly edited file.

Cool, now it detect the ADFU Device but dont install it. The Message is "The necessary segment was not found in the INF file."

my AdfuUpdate.inf looks this:

This is interesting ;-)
My Glacier clone had "died" was partially working with a 9.0.48 version fw. But display driver(s) were way off & all I could see was some blinking text, no images...
The CTW500-T20-Y0-1G-LINE-061218.rar
is 9.0.50 version & you are right, gives white screen.
The E-zipy%20falcon%20second.rar is 9.0.43 & actually gives the hourglass which says to me maybe the display drivers match??? Unfortunately the device is only recognised as ADFU....
See http://www.mympxplayer.org/image-vp37716.html#37716, Alex2pb has produced a utility for changing drivers in firmware. It could be possible (although I have very little clue as to which driver files - I assume .drv - do what....
....I will report back

@Omega and scatwell Thank you for the Tips, but now I cant test them, because my Update Tool not find a USB device. At first i must install the right driver for the player and then I can update the firmware...
