MP4, 9.1.53 and Firmware Inmunity ¬¬...
 

(Don't know if this is in the right forum; move it at your consideration... )

So, Let's start with the basics:

New Mp4, with 2 GB memory.

Samsung 822 k9hbg08uia pcb0 (ccd813ab)
Ak1025 ba034ab 0cf

Firmware Version: S1 Mp3 Player 9.1.53 (Wilson, Co.)

I'm really a noob at this, but I read everything in everywhere, so I became to extract the original firmware with s1res 3.6...
With it, I have the back up of my original Firmware and the edited firmware. I've downloaded a third back up from Internet with the same version.

Well, I've edited full of happiness ('cause the theme is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally ugly... ) my firmware, buy when I wanted to update the firmware in the MP4... it doesn't work!!

I tried to update it first, with S1res "Export firmware..." Tool. I tried to write the Edited_firmware.FW and an Edited_firmware.bin... Nothing.
I can't select the Access method, 'cause the option it's unaviable. But, the "ADFU (native) it's selected. I can't shift it to "GIVEIO (v9-compatible)" (The one I suposed to use... I'm right?).

Anyway, I try to write the firmware with no results. It says: "Error, Specified data non valid" (or so... XD), after trying to write it.
After this, the MP4 is not recognized by the program, but it's still recognized by the system. When I try to disconnect it, It says it's busy.

Well, Life goes on...


After that, I try with s1clone wizard 1.03. Same Results:
"Error, The type data is not compatible". The Operation Progress says:
Open device: \\.\G:
v-9 device detected!
giveio version: 3.0
open flash at cs-line 1...
flash clip: A555D5EC "HYNIX/SAMSUNG 2048MB (LBF)" (protected=0)
open file: route_of_edited_firmware.bin
Type data is not compatible.

... Damn! But... Life goes on...


Trying with the obvious one: MP3 Player Firmware Upgrade Tool 4.16.
Guess what? Begin Upgrading and...
"Error: Open Upgrade Firmware file error!"

BONUS!

With MP3 Player Firmware Upgrade Tool 3.06:
"Error: Invalid Upgrade Firmware File!"

But, I've tried so many times and in the Upgrade log, I have "edited_firmware.bin Date & Hour V9.1.53 Sucess"... But... I can say, the firmware didn't changed. And all the other entries in the log, says "Failed"

I really guess if it's 'cause the firmware version (The latest, as far as I know) or a n00b error... XD
Any ideas??

s1fwx currently doesn't work with v9 players.

There is no proper way to change the firmware of them right now.

Well... But what 'bout the other programs? s1res, s1clone, MP3 Player Upgrade Tool?

I know that s1res, at least, works well with v9 series. But I have no results... What I really wanna know it's if the problem it's properly from the lack of support for the last 9.x firmware (9.1.53...)...

And if not, Whay should I do? 'Cause out of this, I had no problems.

Thanks, anyway.

You should leave it alone.

But... but... but...!!!!

Damn! It must be a way...
