question about folder contents....

ok ok....but i know i know...shouldn't mess with it or it'll "brick" your player....

but as far as im concerned, if i cant even file browse, i have no use for the darn player. i mean even if it is just the first 8 letters, that's better than pressing next 600 times or so.

anyways how can i upgrade my v3 to like a v9? i can see all that extracting stuff, but dont really get how to "upgrade" it?

k_thao24 , believe me i've seen 10 out of 10 cases where a firmware upgrade immediately bricks a player.

Moreover, v3.5.xx firmwares uses the ATJ2085 chipset (like you are using now). Whilst the v9.0.xx series uses the ATJ209* chipsets. Which in actual fact are 2 different chips. Although they perform almost the same functions.

However, if you insist in "upgrading" to v9.0.xx, there is an upgrade guide here, which is really just the re-flash guide. http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-up...ayer-vt46.html

You can't run a V3 series player with V9 firmware they have different hardware requirements.

But if you are willing to put in the time and experiment there is hope.

File browsing was in fact first introduced in 3.5.37 but not many manufacturers made the effort to update. This did not stop the resourceful chipod owner though some found it was possible to extract certain components from file browsing enabled firmware and introduce them into non browsing versions with success.

You have a couple of options, you can search the firmware archives for 3.5.37 firmware with file browsing and try them on your player in the hope that you will find a compatible version or you can try to modify your own firmware to include file browsing. No guarantee that either will work and you could end up trashing your player.

There is a thread on s1mp3.org on how to try to add browsing here:

k_thao24, I managed to find a copy of version 4.0 beta, should work the same.

There are also a couple of copies of 3.6 in the downloads section.

hm, i followed the instruction, step by step, but in the end, when i try to update to the firmware i created, i get a message saying "invalid file."

The dump.bin may not have been repaired after extraction. Try placing the dump.bin in the s1fwx folder and running the repair.bat.

ok, i tried repairing it...but in the end, it says something about "repairing file failed"
