Hi mp4lover,

Have you tried opening the .fw file from s1res instead? That's used to modify firmware files. However, do bear in mind one critical thing, are you SURE the .fw file is the firmware for YOUR player? That's the most important thing because if it's not compatible for your player and you reupload it back into your player, there's a good chance you'll get a 'dead' player instead.
