Re: Dead ONDA vx858 copy
 

It's supposed to be written in the back of case in SN... you don't read something like ...v1...... or ...v2......?

I do put 00.02.0017 and I listen some noises using it, which can be understood as difference between versions rely on the manufacture and materials used. None of them affecting directly the functions of the player.

If you feel comfortable and happy with the version you have then it's ok for you no need to change it... anyway you can do that without problems. Both firmwares have the same functions.

Anyway size of modules are different. V1 is 15195 kb and v2 is 17335 kb. I have couldn't find in Onda BBS why this differences.

thanks DaremoS for your quick answer, i looked at back case but its only : Model VX858 Memory 2GB SN: VX858EGGV101791, thats all. on the box in which the player arrived its the same code.

I installed the firmware you uploaded on other thread, 0017 + vista skin and it works fine, i just wonder if its made using v17 from the onda ftp server. pls tell me also : the"official" v17 interface is like the old v16 ? What issues they resolved by releasing v17 because the old v16 was fine except the wake up from stand by issue which is also present in v17.

So ... its really strange not to know what version of firmware to install. i hope the guys from china will improve the way they work with clients. i hope they will continue to update all versions not only the v2.

thanks and best wishes

Come on!... all the information is here. Confirmed... your player is v1 as is stated here: VX858EGG V1 01791, made in EGG = 05/07/07 and was the 1791 player model VX858 made for Onda :)

v017 is a new breed of firmwares completely different of previous versions. probably v017 is not fully implemented yet, but is the base for future releases.

Old version of editors require a new pattern to work with it... I think that indeed in the firmware are functions not publicly released... but are in the code already.

well now that you told me that i just have a V1 im a little disappointed (im not so good at reading SN codes). I hope they will release soon new firmware for V1. im very curios what they changed in the hardware for v2 ( maybe v2 is just another LE). some info on v2 are welcomed.

read this post, it might help some...

You are in a mistake you have the best VX858, V1 is the top of VX858... it has Wolfson DAC, it's like my VX858.

If you have my firmware installed then you have v00.00.0017 which is the best.

So be happy and enjoy!!!

thanks,
i admit im very proud i installed your version, it looks really nice :). good job posting it. now i just hope onda guys will make soon the modifications u mentioned earlier.

sorry for offtopic
got one little question :P. can we upgrade the internal flash memory by changing flash chip on board ? someone tried to change chips? im sure there is somewhere onda vx858 with 4G internal flash.

thanx.

the onda vx858 does come with a 4gb option, so it is possible to change the 2gb to a 4gb

however, it is most likely not an easy thing to do and your going to need an extremely precise soldering tool to do the job.

i personally wouldnt do it.
