If your player is using firmware 3.5.35, I would really suggest you stay with it than trying to upgrade it to 3.5.37 instead. Luck for you you get an error message, others don't and get a 'dead player' instead.

All you have to do is read the "Dead Players" section of this forum to see what can happen to your player if you upgrade it with the wrong firmware.

The old saying "if it's not broken, don't fix it". It won't give you any new features that your player is capable of already so there is no real advantage in upgrading the firmware for that.

Have you tried to download another .37 than the one you have downloaded?

Weecho, I have only found one 3.5.37 that worked on my 1.5 LCD 3.5.35 Player, every other one I tried killed the player or left it with a blank screen.

The one version that updated had less features than my current 3.5.35 so I went back to it.

I have also found that a large percentage of firmware that is uploaded has not been repaired when extracted and will give this error message.

I couldn't resist and i kept trying to update it... And i'm truly amazed.. 3.5.37 is faster... it has the choice for dynamic and static menus... it has a progress bar for my music... it looks nicer worx faster... It only has 1 game tho... only one i actually ever used the Tetris one... Thank you Binh and Tadad1 for all your help.. now to try and skin this new firm..

PS: Any Skins For This Firm Tadad1??

Weecho, Sounds like the one I had success with. It has a very different image structure than the Lotus Flower type firmware that I have themed. As I never kept it I never got round to themeing it. Evolis2k2 has done some ipod\mac menus etc for this format firmware though and his tetris skin is quite cool.

So you've managed to update the firmware to 3.5.37 on your player and it works fine now?

If so, what firmware was it? Would be helpful to know and others to know too......

Yes I Managed To Upgrade It To This Firmware "dvs6000 with game fm voip.bin". In Case Anyone Does Try It... It Seems Like It Freezes The MP3 Upgrade Tool But Thats Not The Case It Just Takes Really Long To Load It... Another Thing Is That s1res Tool Doesn't Open It... Dont Fear After Its Been Flashed You Can Extract It From Your Player And Edit That Bin.. I Dont Know If You Would Like Me To Upload The Firmware admin Just Let Me Know...

PS: Did You Recieve My PM About The Nano Clone Cover?

Thx Alot.

That's very interesting.
Yes please if you can upload the ORIGINAL "dvs6000 with game fm voip.bin" file, that would be great. Would be helpful for others....

Yes, I got your PM, I'll reply soon.
