HELP!!! i'm about to loose my mind

[Apoc79]

Hi All,

I really need some assistance with my MP5 player.
It was working, really awesome, when I got it, DON’T KNOW WHY I HAD TO GO AND MESS ARROUND WITH IT….

I have tried all your listed solutions, I have tried about 32 different forms, I have downloaded round about 348mb worth of drivers, firmware tools, chip detectors…

IM TOTALLY AND UTTERY AT MY WITS END… :evil: :cry:

Here is what happened, I attempted a firmware update of the device, downloaded and copied across to the device the rkusb.tag and got to see the ‘hidden Partition”

I opened the previously download rk27dm.exe file from rockchips, V1.4.0.
The program detected the mp5 and I clicked the upgrade button…..
After the successfully reported upgrade, I turned on my mp5 to find the interface all messed up. I reconnected and formatted the flash partition and copied my backup of it back into it, thinking that would solve the problem.

Disconnected and turned on, white screen for about 4 second and then back off is all I got. Reconnected and browsed to flash partition, same drive letter, but its empty and as an added bonus, it is no longer the hidden partition but part of the main flash.
Displaying size as 4,012GB free space, tried recopying the rkusb.tag file to there, but still on reconnection nothing.

Tried the rk27dm.exe again, this time it does not even detect the mp5.
Uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, reconnected, reinstalled….. on 3 systems, 2 x win xp pro sp3, 1 x vista ultimate.
It has not one asked for drivers but rather installs automatically windows drivers for the rockchip usbdisk (user usb disk.) tried updating with drivers supplied with your “RK RESTORE KIT” but comes up with error, no information for your device…
Downloaded drives and and and and and you get the picture….

I’m now prepared to through it in the trash and forget the money, please could you help me I have no where ells to turn and I’ve been at it none stop for 13 HOURS!!! :cry:

I don’t have a brand name but its Blue/black, “M” instead of play button.
Rk2706 chip, Samsung chip also with markings: “340, k4s281632E, tc75, vrh36pzn korea”. A hiynix flash module and a small chrontel chip.
Looks exactly like the Coversion Free 3" 16:9 QVGA 4GB MP4 MP3 MP5 Player LA2-4R sold by: http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=627

All the specs on the site and the specs on the leaflet is the same…

No other labeling or markings found inside or outside, nothing on the VIRUS RIDDEN driver disk that came with it (nothing runs from there anyway, all exe’s read only… :evil: ) and nothing in the small leaflet.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

The bad thing is, and this is why I cannot through it against a very tempting brick wall, is that is was an early Christmas present… and I messed it up after exactly 3 hours from getting it… 8) very cool I Know.

Please i beg you help me get this thing back from the grave. I bow to your endless wisdom!

Hi man thanks for the quick reply,

been there already though, here is a screen shot of the latest mp4nation "RK Restore Kit"
MMM ok dont know how to link a pic...

any how, comes up under status as player not found.

when it first gave problems i did this though now it does not detect under ANY tools. comes up in windows devices though and can access the main 4gb flash under explorer.

that is my main problem now.
tried this on 3 different systems, not coming up...ugh.
when connected to pc device only displays white screen.

hi again,
i have tried several more techniques for getting the updater tool to recognise the player but it just doesnt want too.

came accross a forum talking about manualy creating the secondary partition with a util called winhex and some drive hacking but haha that did not work!
sooo here i am again ... its been 28 hours now... beginning to loose brain function.

i've opened the player again... here are the board code located under the LCD Screen:

carasion logo
CR3005TFV3.3
20080904

and a date on the lcd ribbon reads:
08.09.01
JCT029A

I realy hope this helps a bit....

oh one more thing,

i dug around on the backup of the firmare and with the gui mod tool had a look at the interface. the main spash screen(when it was still funtional) displayed "Smyka" no idea who or what that is, could not find any mention of this name, except for someone on facebook...ugh...

I have found that the human body prohibits one to cry while screaming profanities, sad because this is exactly what i want to do!!!!

[knob]

you need to get your player into Rockusb mode, i ended up shorting the pins on the memory chip a couple of times, i drew red arrows on this picture to show where to short.


have a look here what I did to get my player back.

You are a demi GOD!!!!
ok here is where i'm currently,

took a couple of very spectacular sparks but got the driver installed after it detected the rock chip! HEHE i'm so happy, progress at long last!

then on the specified rk27dm program opened i linked the following firmware file but not sure if this is the right one:
rk27sdk.rkw

clicked the r button, its been running for a very stressfull 15:00minutes, how long is this suppose to take and please could you direct me to the correct file?

once again you are AWESOME AND I BOW BEFORE YOUR WISDOM!

You will need to format the main drive on the player, and then copy rkusb.tag to it.
Then reboot and if the 60mb firmware partition appears then copy the 4 firmware folders to it and reboot, then pray that the player works again.

If this fails then try the RK27DM program again to force the player into Rockusb mode and use the upgrade tool to load your backup folders in.

Upgrade tool here:-

ok tried a couple of versions and the rk27upgade util which worked fine as far as the 60mb partition goes.

formated the partition and copied accross my backup of it.

When I turn it on now, it comes up with a red screen and in the top right hand corner "?????"

any ideas?

[knob]

Did you copy the 4 folders in your backup to the 60mb firmware partition?
so it looks like this:-



and then restart your player.
