Knasen · #1 (**permalink**) 26th Feb 2008, 6:39 am

I've got a 3rd generation iPod Nano clone with a real ipod connector (ipod port) that is broken! I haven't got a dump.bin so I need a full firmware.

This is what I know of the player:
* It has got 1Gb (was hacked to 8gb)

* Memory info said:
2007/06/06
9.1.52
ak1025
2006/10/18

*chips in the players says:
1. Hynix KOR HY27UTO88G2M TPCB 801A
2. AK1025 7K019AB 1K7
3. TEA5767 VCN OAO 03 DPG05292

* it has a real ipod connector

Can someone tell me what firmware I need? Which board is it?

ok, I found the Board ID under the LCD! It says G-18A-***** (I can't read it but I think it says "Main...").

I have now managed to download the firmware (thank you Google Translate!). I flashed the player with it and it works, but when I choose Music or Video from the menu it says "Disk error!"

I will post the firmware here so that it will be available for everyone.

Okay its good to hear that you have downloaded the file and recovered your player.Upload it in here so that everybody could use it.Tnx

Disk Error?..just format it using mp3 utilities disk manager tool or in WINDOWS..

So here it is, the firmware everybody's been searching for:

http://www.savefile.com/files/1414352

It's a 9.1.52 firmware for MP4 players with the G-18A-Main-V0.3 Board, TGS177SH00 screen and the AK1025 chip. I don't know if it goes for all of them, but my player is a 3rd gen Ipod nano clone with a real ipod connector.

I couldn't upload it here so I uploaded it by a file hosting service.

Good luck!
