If you would like to modify the theme on your player, then have a read on these Knowledge Base articles (or by clicking on the "Knowledge Base" link on the left hand side menu).





First you need to determine whether you have an ACTIONS, Sunplus or Sigmatel chip board. The articles here are written for ACTIONS chip boards and are the more common type.





To reskin/theme your firmware follow these Knowledge Base articles:

Re: How to modify your firmware (reskinning)
 

hey, i just bought a new mp4 player, 1.5 inch screen,why can't the program to extract my mp4 recognize my mp4 player. i tried to press everything and still, the program can't recognize the mp4 player . i want to change my mp4's theme and modes. help MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mp4 user
s1fwx will only work on players that use the Action chipset. Your player maybe using a SimgmaTel or Rockchip processor.
If you go to the players settings menu and select "Firmware Version" what information is displayed?

mp4 user, Your player is using version 9.0.48, sadly the tools for extracting firmware do not work on 9.0.48 or 9.0.50 firmware. New tools are being developed but it is not known when they will be released.
For the time being you will just have to enjoy your player as it is.

Just a note even though the tool will not create a usable backup it should still detect your player.

TFT60002
2006/12-26
ACT_V9.0.50

Cos the skin on it at the moment is flowers and stuf and thb, thats alil gay for me ;)

hazza are you sure it's version 9.0.60?, because the 9.0.50 version has JUST been released (kinda)

hey fellas..

i did everything but when i run extract it can't read firmware size and says file type unknown at the bottom and when i run repair it says unknown firmware file..

can you help me about'em?

@ normanbates

If you look back at the beginning of this thread you'll find the reason why it won't extract and repair your firmware

I'm betting your firmware version is either 9.0.48 or 9.0.50
