Not sure what to upload from MP4 driver/firmware CD.

Just got a MP4 player from Computer Geeks. (This player: FHM-010-A) The driver CD which came with it appears to have utilities and a firware restore utility but the documentation on the CD is all in Chinese which I don't read so I can't be 100% sure. The file structure of the CD is:

Code:

|-- SMV convert tools
|   `-- SMV Video Converter Tool.msi
`-- driver
    |-- Apps
    |   |-- Thumbs.db
    |   |-- regdll.dll
    |   |-- stmpres.dll
    |   |-- stunicow.dll
    |   |-- stupdaterapp.exe
    |   |-- uninstall.ico
    |   `-- w98eject.exe
    |-- Binary
    |   |-- bootmanager.sb
    |   |-- hostlink.sb
    |   |-- hostrsc.bin
    |   |-- resource.bin
    |   |-- stmpsys.sb
    |   `-- updater.sb
    |-- Drivers
    |   |-- StMp3Rec.sys
    |   |-- StUmsPdr.cat
    |   |-- StUmsPdr.pdr
    |   |-- Stums.cat
    |   |-- Stums.sys
    |   |-- stmp3rec.inf
    |   |-- stmp3recnt.cat
    |   `-- stums.inf
    |-- ReadMe.doc
    |-- Thumbs.db
    |-- data1.cab
    |-- data1.hdr
    |-- data2.cab
    |-- engine32.cab
    |-- layout.bin
    |-- setup.bmp
    |-- setup.boot
    |-- setup.exe
    |-- setup.ini
    |-- setup.inx
    `-- setup.skin

5 directories, 35 files

I'm guessing the files under the driver/Binary subdirectory are the firmware images. This appears to be a SigmaTel based player. Anyone know for sure what I should upload? Thanks.

techt , you should not flash the player with the firmware. Chances are you'll likely brick it. Use the firmware file only for recovery purpose, or unless you feel adventurous and willing to risk it.
