Sometimes you try to take the safe route and it ends up biting you in the butt. That's what happened to me. I was using FRM Pro (1.2.2.3) to make a backup of my firmware before I even attempted to try an update it. Well, it was copying to my PC, but then it would just stop....3GB file size later it was still going. I thought this couldn't be right and disconnected the USB cable. Since then, can't get it to even power on, however I still can get into the firmware mode (pressing up on the d-pad while inserting the USB cable). Tried some other firms that were supposed to be universal for this kind of MP4, and none worked. One showed pretty colored pixels and nothing else, and another a white screen. I've looked EVERYWHERE for a possible firmware, with no avail. Not even a board ID on the board! But I do have the other chip and hardware info needed to try and track down the right firmware:
SPMP3055A-HL171
LCD: T24P96
CAM: 7678A
Doesn't seem to be a combination out there. The LCD seems to be always paired with a 3062, but I have a 3055A. This MP4 has FM, DV(Video) recording, camera mode, video playback (MP4), MP3 Player, FM radio, E-Book, Dictionary, Calendar, Time Display, Calculator, AV-In and AV-Out. SD card Socket. speakers, mic hole, audio recorder, and plays NES, GB, GBC and BIN games. It also has 2GB memory built in.
The reason why I was looking for an update in the first place, because the UI was not very good and I had another PMP that had a much better UI and options, but a horrible D-pad that was near impossible to play games on. They were both very similar.
Now I'm sunk without my favorite PMP, and was wondering if anyone out there can help me find the firmware for this kind of combination?
Thanks for any help.
