AK2025 FW ver 9.5.54 Disk Error

[teq]

As noted in the title, it appears to be an Actions 2025 with 9.5.54 firmware. The case is shaped like a 3rd gen iPod Nano and it comes with 8GB of actual(confirmed, not fake) memory on a single chip.

Also as noted, the board is stamped QS20K21_B-KEY V0.3.


The memory and firmware appear to be intact, but it won't play any files; every option besides the Radio and Setup makes it display "Disk Error".

I believe it has to do with a directory issue, but since I formatted it, I can't seem to get them right.

Other than that, I have no clue why it won't detect files.

Could someone either post compatible firmware(I don't mind downgrading) or a directory listing for these or similar players?

7 views and nothing?

Come on, someone has to know something about this player.

Does the board look almost exactly like this, but with 1 flash?

You're the second user here with a '2025. It must be a very new chip.

Try formatting the disk with FAT32 (*not* NTFS). These players can only read FAT32 filesystem.

Same chipset, same layout -- the only difference is the screen faceplate doesn't have any marking on it, which means someone else is selling these. That's a good thing, because like the 16GB model you pointed to, this one also has a confirmed 8GB.


Now, as far as the Disk Error is concerned, I traced it down to the "Online Mode" setting. In Normal, the flash is a single partition of 7.97GB, but the firmware installed on the chipset can't detect it(it's almost like it's out of scope; ie: it should be partition 1 instead of partition 0).

In "Multi Disk", the player works perfectly -- the only caveat being that it won't work unless the first(main) partition is resized to 17MB. This leaves the other 7.8GB to the "Encrypted" partition, which does me no good.

I've already tried resizing the partitions, as well as formatting the flash in every way possible, to both FAT and FAT32.

It seems to be a really bad firmware issue, but I have yet to find firmware that is compatible.

If it is the same layout, then does it have two 4GB (*BG* in the part#) flashes, or one 8GB (*CG*)?

What version of MP3 Player Utilities are you using to format/resize the partitions?

Has this device ever worked properly before?

I strongly recommend you attempt to extract the firmware with s1res and keep it as a backup.

It's a single 8GB.

I've only tried MP3 Player Utilities v1 and 3, as I've only been working with the tools from the disc, up until now.

The device has never worked properly, from what I can tell. I formatted it before I ever got a chance to test it, but I doubt this would've caused a problem.

As far as the firmware is concerned, it's version 9, making it impossible to extract with most of the s1 tools. S1Clone and S1Res both say "Semaphore timed out" when I try. If I were able to do it, I would've already submitted them to the Downloads, as they seem to be non-existent right now.



EDIT: If it helps any, this is what mydigit.cn has on it: http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=89696. Also, the manufacturer is LAN En Electronics and the OEM model number is Le-D1002 or Le-D1004: http://momentlp.en.ec21.com/Le_D1002...2_3165926.html

Try player utilities v10.00

The semaphore timeout error is a problem with the computer's USB ports. Try another computer or a different cable.

Hi, Did you figure anything out?

I have the same type of player..
Firmware 9.5.54

And Actions Ak2025

Never seen it before & not much info about it on the net..Your post was the first one i could find in English.LOL

Still trying to remove the memory hack..already used the Mp3 disk tool in several versions with the same results.. Windows always detects it at 7.87GB or there abouts..

2 Drives pop up after I do the Partition/Encrypt
F: says 17.31mb and J: says 3.96 GB roughly..Do the format and windows reads it as 7.87GB again...shouldn't it read actual memory?? which I think is the 3.96GB or less...

This thing must be hacked to death.LOL Can't even find much info on the Hynix chip

h27uaG8t2mtr -BC ( I think it's 8bit or somewhere around 1GB ...if so, I'd like to remove the hack altogether so I can enjoy what ever real memory is on there without any problems.

any help..ideas would be greatly appreciated.
