display freeze on hourglass !

[_Jim_]

Hello;

well, we are going to try aomething else;

download this firmware :
http://www.uxcell.com/tech-support-d...39_glacier.zip

turn your player OFF
remove the battery
plug him in
wait
open the upgrade utility 4.05
and try one firmware. one of them should work.

But, it is important to wait.
After upgrading the firmware, unplug your player. put the battery inside, and turn him ON you should see a hourglass after 2 seconds.
now, you have to wait for 1 - 2 minutes before he has loaded the new firmware for the first time.
If you have no reaction at all, after turning him on, (no hourglass, no white screen,...) try to turn him OFF and ON again. Because, mine has big problems with the ON and OFF button. I normally have to turn him ON about 5 or 6 times until there is a reaction. (That's why I never turn him OFF with the button)

Well, try the different firmwares, I am sure one will work

Good luck
Jim

Hello Jim,

Well to remove the battery, I have to un-solder it because it si soldered on the electronic part !I can do it anyway if you consider I must do it ! Please comment.
Also since I opened the player, I can read the information on chipset memory. I read :
SAMSUNG 716
K9G8GO8UOM
PC BO
CSB540AB
Can we get information about real memory capacity ?

Regarding to the latest address you gave me to download firmwares, I got the same firmware files as I got previously by another address you gave me. Is it right ?
Waiting for your kind comments.
Thank you
Regards

Hi Paikan;


We missed out one single point ops:

You don't have a Glacier like player !!!
This is a Glacier like player :
http://www.dein-onlineshop.eu/images/ac6b_3.JPG

You don't have to un-solder the battery at all in that case. You only have to find out which player do you have in order to get the right firmware. You player is OK, the memory hack has been deleted so far. He is now ready to upload a firmware. But the Glacier firmware can't work if your player is not the same as the one on the link above.
Check the Gallery in order to find out what kind of player you have got, and then search for it in the download section.
I think you are near the goal 8)

keep contact

Best regards
Jim

You're right Jim,
My player isn't a glacier one !!! It looks like this one :
http://www.mympxplayer.org/here-asp81.html

But as I have the same player (working !) I suppose I can get the firmware from the one that works ? Isn't it ? Can you know how to do to get a firmware from a player ?

Thks

Hi, you all

I have also one of these so called 8GB mp4 Glacier player, and I also experienced the hourglass frozen display.
I followed the directions given by Jim, but the result has been aweful.
At first everything was OK, I installed a proper adfuupdate file and I managed to have the player recognised as an ADFU device. Then I used MP3 Player Upgrade Tool for installing a new firmware, using the uxcell files.
First I tried with v3. After waiting all the recommended times all I got was a ligthed blank screen.
Then I tried with v2, which was not accepted as a suitable firmware by Upgrade Tool.
Eventually I tried with v1, and this was even worse, since I got again a lighted blank screen but the player is not recognized anymore when I connect it to my PC, not even as an USB device.
So now it looks like I should try the pin shortening trick, buy I don't feel very eager to, first because my memory chip is installed upside down compared to the one shown in the picture, so I'n mot sure of what pins should I sorten, and then because even if I succeeded having the player recognized, I have no firmware to install on it
