Anyka MP4-player firmware-modding

mpxman · #1 (**permalink**) 4th Nov 2007, 5:09 am

Hello, I got one of these MP4-players lately. Looks neat, but has a very ugly OS. Another thing which is bad is it's language, because it's english. I would like to translate it so my little-brother could use it as well.

I know that this device uses firmware named magic.bin, but I haven't found anyway to modify it's graphics or even texts. I tried to translate it with HEX-editor (it found words there), but no success. Device didn't boot up. Then I just recovered firmware and I'm back to square one.

Is there anyway to mod this devices graphics and texts?

I managed to mod texts in the device by using 010 Editor (HEX). But I can't make texts any longer tha the original ones or other strings mess up.

So is there really any better way?

hi Mpxman

I have a trouble with my anyka player, wich looks like yours... I can't find the firmware to make it work after i formatted it (because of fake memory....)
What capacity has your player please ?

Thanks to you...
But it won't be the good one :roll:
In fact, mine was announced with 512 Mb, but it was a fake memory.... pfff
I formtted, and there was only 256 mb... So i opened it, and i saw the reference of the memory chip (hynix) is really 256 Mb :x
Don' know where i'm gonna find the good firmware. If you have an idea
