trying to extract the firmware, i get this error..

$j
connect to device 'J:\'...
init device...
set device to f-mode.................................
error: failed to set f-mode, maybe write-lock is activated?
Press any key to continue . . .

my player has this specs
Core - ACTS16D_15
FW - SRX3.2.16

Anyone has this firmware version ?

chriso, before running s1fwx try going to the settings menu on your player and there should be an entry called Firmware upgrade which will manually put your player into upgrade mode. Then run s1fwx and see if it works.

chriso, Can you post a picture of your player or a link to a photo so I can see what the player looks like?

chriso, I think I read somewhere that you need admin rights to use the program so maybe that is the difference between the 2 computers.
