Ok
This is what is happening.
I upgraded my firmware to this one and everything worked fine and it still is. Like all my features work and everything but the only problem is when I go to upgrade it now it says either invalid firmware or no device connected. I am not sure what to do even if I try upgrading to my orginial nothing is working please help me.

Ko, Why did you update your firmware in the first place and if everything is working why do you want to upgrade it again?

Did you run the repair.bat on your original firmware after you extracted it.

No,
When I upgraded my firmware everything worked fine and it still does but I can't change the firmware like I said
and yes i did do the repair.bat

Ko, What I am trying to understand is what was the reason you did the upgrade in the first place, was there a problem or did you try to upgrade from 3.5.35 to 3.5.37, where you changing theme, the reason may have some bearing on the problem you are having now.

Guys
I have just found something new out. When I go to upgrade the firmware once I open mp3 utilities and get my original firmware and click begin the mp3 changes from connected to usb to f/w upgrade and then it just resets.

Ko, Sounds like you may have updated with a dud firmware you could try another usb socket that may help. Upgrading to 3.5.37 is not a good idea it is likely it would not be compatible and kill your player.
If your player is working ok you may have to live with it. Yor only other option is a dead player recovery that means pulling the player apart and shorting the main chip to reset it. Then you would need a full version firmware and your backup to restore it.

Well I have backuped the original firmware and even if I try to update it with that it does not work the player jsut resets after going into f/w upgrade screen.
