Re: How To: Removing Memory Hack
 

MP3 PLAYER
QSB11_COCO
2007-12-29
9.1.52
2005-01-09

That's what I find on my Chipod..
I'm getting really mad right now, because my dad bought 2 and spent like 300$ or something on it..

I can't return it since he brought it over as a present.. >_>

--
If anyone can help, that would be great.
I'm stuck at Step 2, since my Chipod didn't come with the MP3 Utilities disc, I downloaded the version 4.03 tab.
When I open the "RsdiskUtility", a window pops up saying it can't recognize the program, so under the "Drive J:" tab, nothing appears?

Edit: I've tried switching the Online Mode to the three different options already.. still doesnt work.

Try the older version of MP3 Player Utilities.

Re: How To: Removing Memory Hack
 

Hi,

I have problem. I have tried your guideline step by step, anyway if I insert MP4 in computer, I can see its memory, download or upload files etc, BUT if I start program MP3 Player Dics Tool, there appear text "Not detected removable disc! Please check the dics connecting, or reboot system!"

If I press OK, it will start anyway and it can see the letter name of my MP4 disc. I can check "low" in the "format menu", but when I go to "Partition and Encrypt" menu, I am not able to slide the slider right. That means that I am not able to reecnript the memory.

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

Thanks a lot

That message means you don't have an Actions player, therefore it is unlikely to be hacked. Does it show any symptoms of file corruption (strange noises, songs dissappearing)? If not, there is no need to carry this procedure.

Re: How To: Removing Memory Hack
 

Hey, I am experiencing the exact same thing as tomas5556. I'm quite sure my player has a hacked memory as it is supposedly an 8GB Ipod Nano 3rd Generation.

I have also experienced "Format Error" messages when accessing music/videos on my player and I am unable to move/delete some corrupted files on my player that have weird symbols as file names. When I attempt to delete them, I am either told that the file name is too long and thus unable to be deleted or that the file does not exist, or that it is a system file.

As I cannot follow the steps in your guide, are there any other steps you would suggest I take before enabling my player to be formatted with the MP3 Player Disk Tool?
