yes, It seems these players are just made to make a quick buck out of buyers who want a player to look like an ipod, it's the vx858 all over again.

When I lost my 60mb partition I had to do the pin shorting trick to get S-flo toolkit to recognise it, but the problem was my own fault, i was "experimenting" :oops: with firmware at the time, I can't say I have any problems with normal use.

Re: Did anyboby buy this PMP from Tinydeal?
 

First thanx for reply.

My boot partition was often gone after playing around with firmware.
If nothing worked I´ve used RK27DM.exe from a M400 firmeware and used Recover option, something with "(R)" between japanese signs :?
You have also install rockusb27.inf first otherwise the update wont start.

Ok, the player wasn´t working right after that, cause it´s a wrong firmware, but after copy rkusb.tag & teclast.sys to the main partion and a reboot I could see the boot partition and I could copy my backup output folder back.

Think knob and makd511 are right. We need to hack the Base.rkw :wink:

Does this player from TinyDeal have a TV out function? I found a player that looks just like it on another web page, and it supposedly has TV out. It's here:

Re: Did anyboby buy this PMP from Tinydeal?
 

No, this player doesn't have a TV out function at TinyDeal. the only TV out function RK2706 player is this http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=584 at TinyDeal.

Btw, I have received 3 of this player http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=427 from TinyDeal. These players came with a bad programmed firmware: the sound volume is not adjustable anyway. I reported this problem at TinyDeal, but they didn't gave a useful answer. I experienced that always, they have no competent employees to solve technical problems. They providing some downloadable firmwares not compatible with the actual players, just brick them, if anybody make an update with them.

Hmm, I wonder of XProShop is selling the same player and listed their specs wrong, or if it really is a different player with TV out.

Also, do any of these players have a hold switch? And how does the MicroSD expansion card work? Is it pretty much transparent to the user, or do you have to select whether you want to play stuff from the internal memory or the card?

There is no TV out on my player from Tinydeal, not sure about the hold function, my player came with the wrong instructions.! :wink:

The microSD card is mounted by the player seperately, you can't access media on both card and main memory at the same time, which is a bit of a pain, all players with sd slots seem to work this way :(

There's hold function of the touch screen players, the others have no. The only slide switch is the on/off button.

that playerthere is actually a tv out version of this player out and about in china, several china companies have re branded it, but as alway when buying from sites like that do research, send email and get full confirm

also look at the problems associated with these cheap players, knobs audio jack was faulty, taking it apart was the fix, my player audio jack was broken from start and now randomly loses the firmware, and bencebacsi has 3 players with faults ... is it worth t in the end, cheap yes, but at what cost, many peole who buy are not tech minded and will be lost or out of pocket

well, i have recovered my 747 rockchip fake POS

did not go quite as planned but worked anyway

so i used the sfloupdate files from mp4nation

i started the RK27DM program
plugged in the player and the program recognised it
the 1st button "U" was not active, so i pressed the "R" button
this brought up a failed message
so i unplugged the player and plugged back in
windows started the new hardware wizard and asked for drivers
i pointed it to the rkusb drivers and let it install then
looked in explorer and the drive was back again, but not formatted
so i formatted the drive, and copied the files back over and alll worked
good thing is that the main partition was not formatted

so all was back in action


no i wonder if the "R" button means Recovery, there is a small "setup.rkw" file with the rk27dm download, it could be copying this to the player, so when you restart it calls that into play to as for the drivers

wonder if you just copy that file next time to the main drive and reconnect that it may initiate the call for driver to get back the partition, i may try this again to see if it woorks, if so this could be an easy way to recovery
