How to make a full firmware from a dump file?

PlatinumNANO · #1 (**permalink**) 25th Jan 2007, 7:40 pm

I have a Super I-Platinum White Nano Clone

ATJ2085 I'm using now because my brand new silver metal platinum is garbage it's completely frozen and I only opened it out of the box and put a few songs on it and it froze and now does nothing.

Now my white nano which I had before I got the new one is messed up I had tried to upgrade or update some firmware and it turned the screen blue now I need a full firmware I have the original firmware that came with it just dumped.

and I have my modded firmware dump files but no full firmware files is there a way to create a full firmware from a bin file if so how.

I need to know asap because I have no mp3/mp4 player the white one was my backup and now it's trashed.

Thanks for any help.

PlatinumNANO , i think tadad1 knows how to merge the firmware files to form a full firmware. Perhaps PM him to ask him about it.

PlatinumNANO, Download 'Merge.bat' HERE.
Place it in the s1fwx folder.
Place your repaired dump.bin into the s1fwx folder. (It must be named dump.bin)
Place a full version firmware into the s1fwx folder. (It must be named full.bin)
Run the merge.bat and all the files will be copied from your dump into the full version firmware replacing all the files that have the same name and merge.bin will be created.
The host full firmware should ideally be of the same version as the dump.bin and be suited to your players screen size.
This does not always work and you may need to try a few different full firmware.

what if it's not repaired?
I have 9.0.48 and my new nano is a paper weight and I thought maybe if I could extract the firmware and fix it but the computer doesn't even recognize it and there's nothing on the screen it's just dead no matter what.

It's a black screen.
