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:





1. "<span style="font-weight:bold">How to: extract firmware of your player using the S1fwx tool</span>" from <span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="color:brown">here</span></span>.





2. "<span style="font-weight:bold">How to: Modify your firmware using s1res tool</span>" from <span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="color:brown">here</span></span>.





3. Finally, "<span style="font-weight:bold">How to: Update the firmware for your MP3/MP4 player</span> from <span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="color:brown">here</span></span>.</div></td>

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?

tadad1 10th Jan 2007 6:31 pm

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.

pmilladcs 3rd Feb 2007 8:54 pm

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

normanbates 4th Mar 2007 4:05 am

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?

_Odyssey 4th Mar 2007 4:27 am

@ 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

normanbates 4th Mar 2007 4:36 am

have to wait then.. thanx anyway..

My question is...Why is that there is only two filenames can be found in my firmware which is the "BRECF285.BIN" and "FWIMAGE.FW"..???

AND if I try to load it in a program-"s1res" an error message will appear...
"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format"
why is that so??

and if there's a firmware just like mine....would you please email it here
titans_kill@yahoo.com
if you would mind.......PLZ. :cry: :lol:

moroni 22nd Aug 2007 6:57 am

Can someone help me?

I've downloaded a Theme from the forum and I'm trying to skin my MP4 using that theme.

So I've extracted my firmware with s1fwx, and then I've browsed the files inside my ui30.res with s1res! That theme would work perfectly!

But there are over 300 images and with s1res I have to import the images one by one!!

Is there a simple method?


Tks!

Derfel 22nd Aug 2007 7:40 am

As far as I know, you have to change them one by one...
