Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

hi guys..
any one of ya has a firmware for this player?

Model:
--------
3'' MEZU RM970 MP3 MP4 MP5 FM 4Go 4G RM AVI AMV TA5-4R

Rockchip RK2706

Board:
--------
Carasion
2008-05-16
CR3009TF-V1.2

Display:
--------
FPC30T74-A1
0815


ran a day then it blimpt and now only has a 60Megs partition under xp as a USB drive.
looks like the image took a dive too as it bailed. too bad since it was playin' just about everything I could throw at it.

I got it off of ebay..here is the link if you wanna take a closer peek.
3'' MEZU RM970 MP3 MP4 MP5 FM 4Go 4G RM AVI AMV TA5-4R

apparently there was some solder splash on the TSOPs as they were soldering the chips in by hand.(china quality at its best lol)
I took some pics of the player inside. (note to admins.-> you guys really outta gives us a chance to be able to post pics here for quick reference... just a thought) I made some pics of the board for reference.
I'll post'em elsewhere.

pls lemme know if any of ya has the image for this and pls post it.

thnx a lot
peace out ;)

well first off that title is solely designed to get people in, having rm970, mezu (spelt wrong) ect is to grab as many as possible to the sale

first off this player is now becomming quite common on ebay and it seems the stability and quallity is very dodgy!!!

the 60 meg partition is for the firmware to live in, so where is th other drive partition space gone

i assume there are no files on the 6o meg drive (ther should be several files and folders

we need to get someone with same player to access their partition and copy the files out for you to put back in

basically you have lost all your firmware files so screen wont work etc

no downloads yet as is a new player and LOOK like the onda vx747 player IT IS NOT, onda is different chip altogether

here is the rest of the real info..

Model:
TA5-4Rxl

the firmware:
FR-E4490-463

I dunno if anyone will come about with some more.. I'm hoping lol
As a matter of fact I did copy some RK27SDK.RKW file off of it, even tough the player itself is nil.
I don't really have much experience with these files.
I need to relearn some of my past expertise, since these aren't like the ATJ variant.
It just shows, that being able to engineer hardware has little to do the actual software hacking abilities.. lol ( i need to relearn english also..lmao)
Any pointers?

thnx :)

p.s. the 60 meg should be the hidden partition for the firmware as it will enable the rest of the 4gig as soon as it is operational.
The T-flash is still coming up also as a letter being assign to it under xp..

success! but... it is a wrong firmware and it keeps recycling..hm..
I'm using tons of diff tools and looks like I'm getting closer.
Observation..On the firmware side if you have the right tool for your player it seems you could load just about everything on that thing, but be careful when you resetting the flash as it may could be damaged for good.
I'll keep you posted folks ;)

i lost

where are you at and what firmware are you loading and how

the 60 meg partution needs al the seperate flders on it not just and rkw file, if you have an rkw file it needs splitting and i have a tool for doing that


cheers, jist wondering what you are actually doing???

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

Hello altean,
I have your firmware 100% it will work just need to copy paste 4 folders
into the 60mb space and restart the player all i want from you is to sent me the RK27SDK.RKW of this player and i can sent you the extracted firmware because i cannot put my player into the mode it can see the 60mb because has an old version so this RK27SDK.RKW should be very helpful if you sent it to me.
Is that possible?
the firmware i can sent you is from 2008/30/05 and is exactly the same is shown on the picture with the game icon that accually is the calendar and there isnt any newer as i can know.
This firmware is taken from my other mp5 player same as yours and i was tring to put it into the older one with no luck as i couldnt put the older into disk upgrade mode so if you sent me the *.rkw file i can update it without the need to put into update mode, thing that cannot be enabled into older versions.
please contact me asap.
Thanks in advance
Demetris

Demtris

what older version player are you reffering to???

remember older rockchp players with 26 series chips wont take this firmware???

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

3'' MEZU RM970 MP3 MP4 MP5 FM 8G RM AVI AMV

Rockchip RK2706

With older firmware than that that came with altean mp4 player.
That is why i want that file to update it to current one.
And if you knew better you would have known that older rk26 chip dont take folders into the firmware but need the consumer update to update, and i wouldnt have to write this message after all, so saving my time and some bytes off the mympxplayer server space

dont you dare even think of giving me that response, how dare you!!!

i asked as i could not quite understand what you were saying and i apologise unreservedly oh master if made you type a few extra words and eat up valuable bytes and of course your precious time!!!!

why do people like you bother coming to places like this for assistance

i certainly will not be applying my apparently limited knowledge to helping you out

honestly, why write like that, seriously why .. why not just answer simply and politely

no way to get the things you require, no way at all

i shall of course leave it to others that know better to send you the files you require, mine will not be up to your satisfaction i am sure!!!

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

Hey makd511 you should take it as a teasing argument and not acting as a spoiled child.
I didnt want to offend anyone here as i dont know anyone here.
Now for the offending lines that you say i said they were just information for you so you could clear up your knowledge + google.
Am not trying to patronize you at all but if my words were so misunderstood
and you feel offended i ow you an apology.
So my dear friend am sorry if i offended you, deeply sorry.
Now i try to clear my self up.
Altean you dont have to sent me the firmware update so i sent you the files,
In the time of typing that messege and the reason i am greek and my mother language is also greek i couldnt express my self clearly.
So Altean to be clear i want to help you out on this and if and i say if you want to you could help me also by senting me the firmware file.
Ok now i think i was clear enough.
See you

demetris

have you tried to get to the hidden partition of your player by the rkusbtag method see link for the file

http://www.ebay.vpunk.co.uk/rkusb.7z

just place this is the root of the internal memory
disconnect the player
turn player off
reconnect the player and wiat for windows to recognize it

hopefully you should see the hidden partition space and the folders of which you refer

let me know if you see the partiton

well a spoilt child is something i have not been called in a long time
i got angry at your reply through misinterpretation and the phrase "if you knew better" as i do no better and i rather arrogantly know quite alot, i was offended but only because i misunderstood you

so apologies also and lets tryy and sort this out together

demetris !! U DA MAN!!! lol
I've tried a couple different ones but none of them working lol..or works just so.. so...
can you pls up it in the user upload section as it prolly other ppl we'll be in need of that firmware.. looks like many ppl got suckered into this player..
but believe it or not.. the player itself is very kewl. same chips and core chips and fm chips as many "high end" of this kind.. The RK2706 is really one of the best chips out right now for these mp4-mp5 players..but the duped firmware by these no name companies are ruining the whole mp4 scene ... lol

thnx bro..:)

p.s I'm sry guys .. I've lost everything in day 1 since I've tried to connect my Tflash and the damned thing resetted on me.. Like I've said, it had some solder splash on the Tsops and prolly by inserting the Tflash had the board moved a bit and caused the Tsops to short out and therefore I haven't had a chance to save anything. Thats the reason why I'm lookin' for the firmware.

And really! I really appreciate yer help you guys , giving back to the community. :) You guys rock ;) if you guys got a firmware for me , pls add me to yer live messenger for easier file transfer..alteans_at_hotmail_dot_com. thnx :)

and one more thing.. No Flames pls.. I like you guys alltogether as you are, so pls lets not turn this community into the White House Senate .. lmao ;)

mak.. thnx for the tool ..I really appreciate it ;)

i hav asked tinydeal direct to simply provide the firmware fr this player as they sell it and also are the ebay sellers for this device, so i am hoping gthe will either send it to me asap or post it in their download section

i have also ordered one of these as i want to see the quality for myself as this player is becoming fast popular like the onda 858 fakes/clones did, but this player should hopefully not cause as much grief as that one did!!!

will let you know if they respond with a firmware

i have also asked them, though i am sure they will not, to mark the player as not being an unbranded Onda vx747 player

on my other site i mod on we have had a few people with this player who have bought this player thinking it a cheap route to the onda player and expecting to utilise all the onda firmwares and hacks etc, but of course hey can not as the onda uses a totally different chip (ingenics) to the rockchip in this player

also i am interested n what they put n the firmware for these players, does it have the video resume feature for example that is part of later rockchip updates

Also we need to find out how mny factories are making this player, if ther are multiple factorie then its a possibility that firmwares wil be different, not a major problem as these player in general do not let you do an upfrade to the wrong firmware so may not be a major problem, wil have to wait and see

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

makd511..
this player ain''t any onda. you can bet yer boots on it ;)
the hardware is very simple and to put firmware on it also very simple.
I'm using the RK27 ver. 2.5 tool on it, and it works every single time. as a matter of fact if get it empty,(the 60 meg area) you can format it under ntfs, then just put yer dirs on it and off you go. But I strongly recommend to use the tool as it also loads the boot.bin and saves you all the manual fiddling and the b.s workaround to get it running right.
I've must of reflashed it at least 20 times al ready with diff firmwares.
none of them really worked or some just half ass way.
I think the main problem lies with the touch navigation.
you need to have a proper driver loaded and IT MUST BE the right one to it.
one thing..with the right tools you can costumize the hell out of it ..;)
I just need Demetris to pass along his firmware for me, so I could get down and dirty..lol
Anywhoo.
Like I've said I just need the right firmware to get it started up.
I was thinking diff hardware mods to it.. like a TV out and some other ones, but space is limited.
I have typed out a beginners guide to flash with the RK27 tool. I'm gonna post it, to try to help other unfortunate and not tech savvy ppl.

peace out :)

nice one

i nerver really used the flash tool, always worked from the player etc, but glad you got the tool working

tinydeal have responded and have said they will extract a working file set from the players they sell, same as these, just got to send them the rkusb tag file

unless the tool can actually see the drive itself

would love to see the tutorial for the tool,

also do you have the editor for image customization yet for modding the UI look (not layout)

good work here

hopefully Demetris can extract his files, or tinydeal will upload them to their download area as soon as poss
keep you informed

BTW
i made a translated version of the upgrade tool a while back but never finished it
do you want to try it, it is version 2.5 also
anyway here it is, may need testing to make sure its still ok :)
http://www.ebay.vpunk.co.uk/RK27v2.5.7z

BTW
the new rockchip firmwares for the teclast T50/nationite s:flo now support album art and i was informed by raz on mp4nation that this will now be a standard feature in all rockchip firmwares, so i hope someone somewhere is updating the code for this player or shops will get players with later firmwares that we can swap in and out of these, also audio resume should be present .. at last

The s:flo also support full transparecny on 32bit bitmap images for a much cleaner smoother interface, so i also hope this becomes a feature to, as the rm970 does not support this as yet, but it makes modding the UI so much easier as a tool has been written by ark)royal from teclast bbs that allows you to use PNG images s the source for adding to the player (converts them internally to BMP images, but looks really good on the player as icons can be truly transparent, cleaner etc, older transparency was via either a solid pink or green background

any way, good to know if you like interface modding

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

thnx to demetris it's all good .. player is all ok ..cleaned up the firmware a bit and it recognizes my 8gig kingston T-flash too :)
I'm working on the wallpaper mods and so on.. I'll keep you guys posted :)
thnx :)

P.s. it does support up to 32 gig.

hello, I have the same mp4 with rk2706 (but 8GB). Images can be modified and that brings other things? thanks.

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

My player died today, need firmwire, somebody please upload it.

ALOT more info needed
what player
pictures neede
symptoms

please provide as much detail as possible

Same player from the first post, but only with 8G of memory.

How happened:
I wanted to put new music on it, but screen was black.
OK, I tought that battery was empty, but it wasnt it.
Nothing happened.
Put it to usb and it shows to partitins one with 60mb and other with 8G,
both were empty. Thats it, I can put files to partiton, but player dosent work...black screen.

So i downloaded other 2706 firmware and now theres no blank screen, but its wrong firmware and butttons and touchscreen dosent work.
So I need correct firmware.

Hope that this helps!
PS! Sorry for mistakes, my naitive is not english.

right

i have this player, i will send you the firmware folders to dump on the partition, or basically i will up load to this site, as soon as they become available they should work - all being well!!!

but of course there are never full guarantees that yours is the same as mine, look the same maybe, but inside could be different

i have uploaded the files now, you just need to wait for admin to release them for download

let us know if all works

Firmware for this 747 lookalike can now be download for anyone who may have lost the original:-
http://www.mympxplayer.org/rockchip-...-am-df897.html

http://www.mympxplayer.org/pafiledb/...shots/ta5a.jpg

no guarantee it will work, but there is a good chance.

BTW if you want to just "try this firmware out" DO make a backup of your old firmware first and keep it safe to avoid problems

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

Thanks a lot!
Player works fine now...

Hey everyone i recently got one of these vx747 lookalikes and the firmware that is posted here doesnt work. The background and such load but touch screen wont work. It looks exactly like the one in knobs picture....

Your player must be from a different batch, the answer is to just copy back your old firmware folders from your backup into the firmware partition, I take you did make a backup copy?

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

Yeah i made a backup, but there are issues with the firmware that came with it (radio, playing video files) and i just wanted to find and test out different firmwares and see what worked.

can you also upload your firmware version with a few images of your player also please

the firmware above also has faults and issues and again due ti the cheap nature of these players and the way they are put together we are in a right pickle re firmware

also state where you bought the player, the firmware you tried from here was from tinydeal and i will upload some real images of the player sreen as my screen has some odd printing on it, much like cheap phones with printed button images on the screen, i can see then slightly hidden by the facia, i think these things are put together with whatever cheap parts the factory can get their hands on

what problems are you actually having on your player

Is there any place to upload the images and firmware? The firmware is in folders and i dont gave a decent digital camera so the pictures wont be the greatest. Of course i got the player from ebay.
Any yeah no doubt they are pieced together. my brother bought a vx858 clone and there are images for email and phonebook on the bottom of the screen.
Main issue is that it wont play all of the different video formats they say it can: MOV, WMV, mpeg, mpeg4. Second is that the sound only comes out of one of the earpieces and i chedcked to make sure it just wasnt the earphones. Third is that the radio is all out of sync. I try to go to the classical station and im hearing country.

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

To upload your extracted firmware go to this page:-
http://www.mympxplayer.org/dload.php (you will need to be logged in)
Then click on the drop down "Select a category", scroll down to "uploads by members" and press enter, then at the top of the screen you will see an "Upload" button, then just click on it to go to the upload screen.

I bought two players. the both look the same on the outside but inside are slightly different. Here are the pics:

Also it kept saying the connection to the server was rest when i tried to upload the firmwares using this places' upload so i did it through rapidshare. The first one is a firmware that worked on my first clone and also with the one from tinydeal from this site. The second is for the other clone i own that isnt compatible with the one from tinydeal. Oh yeah on my players i changed the backgrounds but the files are from the original.

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition

Can you help-me ??

Tks

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

I Used this tool: http://www.mympxplayer.org/rockchip-...7xx-df896.html
and i edit the BMP0.bin thing under the resources folder in the firmware partition. Images have to be 320*240 i think but i dont really remember. Its real easy to use. Also with the bug that yours has have you tried recalibrating it? One of mine has that same problem after being left alone for a while but recalibrating usually temporarily fixes that. Also there are a few firmwares here for the players that look like this. I uploaded two and there was another from tinydeal. maybe one of these can help. But also try asking the person you bought it from if they can supply you with a new firmware or player first. BE SURE TO MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FIRST.

get help from it's manufacturer www.ramos.com.cn

Re: Rockchip RK2706 player now only has a 60Megs partition
 

hi altean..

i need your help. Could you send me your RK27SDK.RKW file to me. This is my email delljoe@gmail.com.

thanks in advance...

hey all, i have the RK27SDK mp4 model,
however i am having problems. Whenever i try to go into the music section eg all music, artists, albums and genres it keeps coming up with updating media library.. and then goes back to the main menu? so it wont let me access this. how do i fix this???

this could be due to bad media files or incorrect ID tags, try only loading 1 or 2 songs and see what happens, if you download music from file sharing then they could have incorrect or corrupt tags
