Re: Ipod Gen.3 fake 8 Gb // Firmware or Hardware failure?
 

If you have another IDENTICAL player you can use S1clone to clone the working player and then copy it to the dead player (also using s1clone).

the dump not work, sergio i search again for you ...

Re: Ipod Gen.3 fake 8 Gb // Firmware or Hardware failure?
 

Knasen,
I tried s1clone at the begining. Even I can generate a file of 25Mb or so with the working MP4, I got an error (flash memory not found) when tried to upload to the dead MP4.
That´s why I discarded this method.

With other upgrade utulities something is left at the memory of the dead device, as further upgrades detects the previous version. But doesn´t work anyway..

bygben: thank you, anyway.

I don´t know what else to do... :(

Regards,
Sergio

Could someone advice if I should wait for a new upgrading tool or what to try?

Sergio1,yes your right that s1fwx only support version 3.xx.xx firmwares good reading though.About s1clone,it's not too perfect for a tool so you shouldn't expect something good.Developer's release notes on s1clone stated that that tool is buggy so it works on a player and it does not on other player.The best thing to do to relive your player is to look for a full suitable firmware.Try finding your firmware on www.s1fw.com

Sergio1,try finding a full compatible firmware for your player it's a best choice.Try finding at www.s1fw.com

Thank you zrock.

You answer makes me feel better.

I don´t know what is a "compatible" fw. After uploading several fw, many of them are installed, but no one revives the device.

The questions now are: if I find the right fw, what should be the proper application to upload it?

I have an identical WORKING player. Could I extract its fw in any way to upload to the dead one?
