Hi Th3_uN1Qu3!
I have a Tangent Jukebox 256MB MP3 Player, LIKE THIS.
Based on Sigmatel STMP 3502 L100E-CA6 chip with board nr. 500SF V1.9
I am not able to switch it on, but when i connect it to USB port, Win finds it as Sigmatel MSCN USB Device. On the players display appears the FW version: 2.600.100
It appears also in My Computer as Removable Disk, but i'm unable to access it, gives some I/O error.
Could You please guide me what to do, and provide some firmware.
Thank You, regards.

I have found a Fw with version 2.600.100
I did the upgrade, windows recognized as mass storage device, but now nothing appears on LCD, nor I cant switch it on.
I found another similar fw version 2. 611.101, but after update my player almost died completely. I was not able to put in recovery mode anymore, no matter how long i kept pressed the play button, nothing.
I was absolutely sure, that it was completely dead. In my desperation i've tried everithing, and with a huge luck, dont know how tho, i've started the FW download tool, and while it was searching for a device, i made the recovery procedure, and it came back alive again. I uploaded again the 2.600.100 fw, and works as a mass storage device.
I still need some help please, if somebody has a similar player, or knows some link.
Which of the files are for the play mode? Coz i dont want to mess anymore with the other ones.
Thanx!

Even though the firmware is modular, i could never get files from different firmware packages to work together.

If you have tried all firmware posted above or in the site's download section and none works, i'm afraid you're out of luck.

I've had a Meizu M6SL for almost an year and love it. I've given my Sigmatel player to my mom, and she only uses it as a voice recorder. It's been a while since i last played with it, and i remember spending a lot of time searching while i was messing around - firmware for those players is very hard to find, and in the end it's not really worth it.

I'm sorry i can't help you more.

Hello Th3_uN1Qu3,
I have a Logik oiii 2Gb Mp4 player recognized as sigmatel 3660. Using firmware extractor i have extracted 4 files from a working player.
I've tried all your programs(stupdaterapp.exe) but the only one that worked was maxfield g-flash. It recognize the mp4 in recovery mode, but it needs 6 files and I have only 4. Can you help me.
best regards

Thank's a lot =) I have a MP-FUB35 2Gb mp3 player. Suddenly it said somethin' like "please, make backup of data and format me". When i connected it into PC it appears as SigmaTel USB mass storage, but didn't open, says that it has I/O error. F@cked a lot with it with many firmware updater applications and FW itself. When tried "For newer firmware (that contains hostlink.sb):" method it became alive =) Thans very much indeed =)
