What kind of drive does it see? You have to get it to see the upgrade partitiion, not the regular data partition. If you're using Windows, look in Device Manager. What kind of drive is it listed as?

Also, what version of the updater are you running?

The way to get a Rockchip player into upgrade mode without the menu is to turn the switch off and hold a button down while plugging it into the computer. It's usually the play button, but a bad firmware can change that so it could be any button, just continue to hold it while you plug it into the computer, if it's not recognized then try a different button, then when it's recognized you can let go of the button and see if the upgrade software recognizes it. If it doesn't, you may have to load the right drivers for that upgrade software. The right drivers should be in the upgrade programs folder. The way to upgrade the driver is to go into Device Manager and delete the driver that's being used, then windows will detect it and ask to find a driver, point it to the one in the upgrade programs folder and it should then be able to upgrade.

Are you just plugging it in or are you powering it off and holding a button down when you plug it in? You have to do the latter to get into upgrade mode. If it says unknown device, don't reset it! You DON'T want mass storage mode. When it says unknown device, follow the driver loading process, but don't let it pick a driver, lead it to the one in the upgrade program folder. If it doesn't have one download the latest upgrade program from this site, it has it. Once that driver is loaded the upgrade program will recognize it and you'll be able to update it, hopefully with the right software.

No problem. Follow these directions carefully. Don't be in a hurry.
1. The player has to be off
2. you have to hold, and keep holding, one of the buttons
3. While still holding the button, plug it into the computer
4. Wait about ten seconds for it to be detected (while still holding the button).
5 if it's not detected, unplug it and try the same process with a different button.

The latest consumer update software is in the downloads section of this site, under 'tools', it's the fifth one down. put it in a conspicuous folder and unzip it, then you'll have to install it, but before you can install it you'll have to uninstall the old version. Do that through windows control panel.

Does it have an actual on/off switch? If it does, turn it to the off position then hit the reset hole, then it should be off.
