"AdfuUpdate" - provided does not contain the drive

[jakebache]

Hey Guys,

I brought a 4GB fake iPod from China.

Tried to upgrade the firmware and now its only displaying a blue screen.

I followed the tutorial on "Dead Players" but I couldn't finish it.

I got to the point where I had to install new hardware, as the player was now being recognised, but it says to click "have disk" then to browse for a file called "AdfuUpdate"

But my windows folder looks nothing like that on the tutorial, and i cannot complete the process because the disk provided does not contain the driver.

Anything would be great!

jakebache , go to Control Panel, and click on System.

In it, select the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.

Now you should see a list of hardware items connected to your computer. Look for the player, it should be highlighted with a yellow exclamation mark.
Right click on it and select Properties.

A new box should open. Now select the Details tab and in the drop down box, chose Device Instance Id.

What does the box below it display after you selected it?
