I have the 3rd gen Nano clone with 1,8 TFT and 3,8 GB.

So the battery went empty, and just pluged the usb cable (not connectet to the PC!) just the pure cable, the starting sand timer screen was appeared. And now stucked on that! Only that screen appears.
The PC not recognize as ADFUu just undefinided USB device.

I can turn on to the sandtimer, so its not totaly dead, just a Zombie...

? How can I reset this? I didnt hurt the firmware anyway, just formatted with the hacking removal method...and used for 2 days.

Please help me!

bulesz,turn it on again and wait for about a minute if still the hourglass stuck,sad to say your player is simply as dead.Maybe in the charging thing damage the firmware on it.You know when you charge your player you should have to plug first the charger on a AC outlet along with the usb cable then last is plug it in on your player.

Follow the guide here:

thanks for your reply!

So the proper charging method: Plug the cable to the PC or AC, and turon on the player with the switch (on the case, and NOT with the play button) and after plug the player to the cable?

Just to know at my next player...

?

I could install the ADFUU driver, but not seen by the explorer? What should I do?

almost players can be charge even if it is in power off.Yes the player would be the last to be connected.It's an "electronics way" thing to do.

Install the latest version of Mp3 Utilities.Then short again the pins(if you have done it already).If asked for ADFU driver always use the RECOMMENDED option.

Thanks for the reply!

One more question, how could I know which player is this? i mean which firmware is needed? Its a Rock chipped item? or something else? What should I search on the firware site?

Many thanks!

It is not a serious problem to get the fireware because I will have another player (the same) and I would copy its firmware to this sick one.

BUT, the windows explorer couldnt recognize it! In the device manager its an ADFUU device but I cant do anything with this!

I should nuke the pins (hardreset) and replay the install method?
