[solved] "failed to set f-mode, maybe write-lock....&qu

:wink: Hi ppl

Im kinda new on this "firmware modding" and I've never done anything like it, but i was curious because i've seen some cool mods done to some Iclones and i thought that i could do it myself, but unfortunably i can't

This is the player that i bought. only 512mb, cause i really dont need more, and it works fine. but when i try to backup the dump file using s1fwx this happens:

It looks kinda dumb, but i think my player doesnt come with a read/write lock feature, or does it?

Can someone give me a tip or something?

Bye and TY :lol:

Tracanas, Have a look on your player at Settings>Firmware Version, what version is your firmware?
Also go to Settings>Online mode and make sure it is set to Normal only.

Tracanas, Basically your firmware is version 3.2.16 which should extract without any problems. Try connecting your player and holding down the play button while you run s1fwx to extract.

Nop... still cant. ive checked the online mode, tried the 3 modes, pressing the play button, nothing. is there any other way to extract the firmware from the player?

ok, situation solved.
The problem was that when s1fwx searched the drives, my floppy disk (that i dont even have phisically :P) was creating a conflict. turned it off and its done. Thanks anyway and im sure that i will continue posting in here!
