lattesurf
thats an clear explanation and I think ive got that problem too, but what must I do to make him do what he has to do: playing music files.
i'm desperate.

Jim
Als je een zoekopdracht doet op deze site voor de AdfuUpdate.inf file zal je hem vinden.
Hierna moet je de "dead player recovery guide" in de dead players rubriek volgen en windows de AdfuUpdate.inf file laten vinden op je pc waar je deze opgeslagen hebt.

Is mij ook zo gelukt, maar ben nog niet verder gekomen als dit.

Als jij wel verder komt moet je me ff vertellen wat je gedaan hebt.

Succes!!

MP4 shows black screen with hourglass - AdfuUpdate.inf
 

Hi Alanm;

Thank you for your adfuUpdate.inf
I don't know the version of your mp4 player, but your adfuUpdate.inf didn't work. So I identifyed my mp4 player with my Linux Workstation, and changed so my AdfuUpdate.inf file in order to recognize my MP4 Player:

QY-066Av1
2007.03.20

So If any of you has this player, you have to change your AdfuUpdate.inf located in your /Windows/ folder to this :

[hr:048519a478]

To use this file propperly, you have to plug-in your player to USB :) and wait for Windows to ask for drivers.
There you have to get your software drivers FROM A LIST !
Next, DONT let Windows search for drivers, but select your driver yourself
Take "all devices"
"Have Disk"
and select your new edited AdfuUpdate.inf in Windows Folder

Et voilà 8)

Now, we have our ADFU Device in Windows, but we cannot read nor write on it.
Now, Get to your mp3 Utility, and chose firmware upgrade tool, open your firmware file, and start upgrading.

@Lattesurf :

Yes, you are right with the memory hack. that's why he is trying to delete or read on non existing memory :roll:

But, can I change the memory hack to normal, while my player is still an ADFU device ?

@ vtr

euh;... thank you, but I only speak Luxemburgish, German, French and English, so I can't unserstand you :?


I hope, my post helped some of you; and if someone finds a firmware for this player : QY-066Av1 2007.03.20 ; could you please upload it to the download section and make me a wink ;)

That would be great, I haven't found any working firmware until now :oops:

Best regards
Jim

_Jim_ , usually when a player goes through the ADFU stage, and flashing of firmwares, the hack would be removed.

Re: MP4 shows black screen with hourglass
 

Lattesurf;

Thank you for you reply. That was what I was hoping for.

I think the "hourglass" problem has finaly been solved by editing the adfuUpdate.inf file.

Thank you for all your ideas and comments; and an sepcial thank to the Forum Team spending hours and hours keeping this forum alive.

If I find any working firmware for my player. I will post a link :)

Regards
Jim

hourglass solved - MP4 without PID now
 

Grrrmmppffff

Having fun with the hourglass topic, I solved to get to the point to update the firmware. After upfating a firmware in Russian, I got this one :
http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firm...n01-df634.html

Which really killed my player now !! :x

By connecting or turning it on, it blinks, and that's all.

Windows recognizes an unknown USB device :

USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&39669908&0&4

Anyway, how would it be possible to get it back to ADFU ? If PID is 0000 ??

I think, THIS is really messy :evil:

Re: MP4 shows black screen with hourglass
 

Hi,
I got a hacked "4GB GEN3" mp4 player from hailetele on ebay. It looks just like the one on the top of this page but it is silver. After getting black screen with hourglass I attempted to update the firmware using mp3player utilities V4.05 upgrade tool. After I did this things got worse. The player would turn on with blank screen switched off and would show up "new usb device" when plugged in but could not be recognised by windows and the upgrade tool would not find it!
With a bit of help from the users on this page I finally managed to get Windows to recognise it.
What I did was this:
Copied a new AdfuUpdate.inf to my windows folder, This is it:



[Version]

After copying this file I had to Right Click on file AdfuUpdate.inf and select install. After that I'd plug in the player and wait for windows to detect it, manual choose hardware - select from list - all devices - browse for file - windows\adfuupdate.inf.
After all this the upgrade tool would finally recognise the player again but unfortunately no firmware I have tried to date has managed to get this player working again.
ANYONE WHO CAN PLEASE HELP!!
I think I need a full firmware for this player.
It is a 1GB player that looks like the one at the top of this page and uses a nokia phone battery. Has a 2" screen, single speaker and mic. On the board inside is written: v4500-92v1.0 20070729
The memory chip is a hynix 8Gigabit flash ROM (1 gigabyte)
The main chip is a ATJ2092N
The small chip has an SPT logo and I think says SP3757AHN
If anyone knows where to find this firmware I would be Oh so very grateful and of course share my success/failure with everyone.

Jim
Sorry I tought you were a dutchman (flag) :)
I tried to give you a short explanation to install / update-grade the adfuUpdate.inf file, it's in the download section with an clear step by step explanation

Anyway, Windows detect my MP4 and I can copie files to it but I'm still trying to get the right firmware to get lost of that white screen on my MP4
In the meantime I tried many many firmware's with no succes :?

Maybe I do something wrong
Anyone a suggestion??

Re: MP4 shows black screen with hourglass
 

Hi VTR;

To get a working firmware onto your Glacier like player, you have to download the "Mp3 Player Utilities 4.05" and install it !

Second, download this firmware package of Glacier firmwares :

http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firm...res-df652.html


Now, turn OFF your player, remove the battery and plug in your mp4 to USB and wait 30 seconds until it is fully recognized by Windows.
Then open the new installed "Mp3 Player Upgrade Tool" and select the Firmware you wish to install.
Mine was one of the 9.0.50.x ones. You would start with the 9.0.50.8 and then 9.0.50.7 and so on, until you have a result.

A common mistake made by a lot of users, is to not be patient. Because, after flashing, the program says "Done, will exit". from now on, you have to wait for about 1-2 minutes. Then you unplug him, insert the battery and turn him on.
From now on, you have to wait also. first of all, you will be having a loong hourglass showing up for 1 or 2 minutes. This is then a good sign, he will boot for the first time, and after a minute or two, you can use him as normal.

Just one thing, my speaker was not working with non of these firmwares ! but if you don't really need the speaker, don't try other firmwares, becauase, I killed mine with another 9.0.50.x firmare !!

There is one, where the speaker worked, but it was in Russian or Turk. Therefor I was flashing any firmware named 9.0.50.x in the firmware section, and puff, killed :(

My VID and PID are now set to 0000 so windows detects my player as an "unknown device" : USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&39669908&0&4
I do not know how to correct the AdfuUpdate.inf in order to work with this information :(

Maybe you could help me too ?

Best Regards
Jim
