PROBLEM TO REMOVE AN MP4 hacking

[Mr.Alex]

Hi! I tried the method described by Skinski at my own risk, and nothing happened. Absolutely nothing! It does not work with my player...

Like in the case of nty, there were no partitions, only empty records. I created a new one #1 with an appropriate size, pressed OK, replugged the player when asked, and found that nothing had changed. Detected memory size remained the same as was before, and the program chkflsh did not show the partition that I created. All data remained untouched, and nothing changed on the player at all. It looks like the chkflsh have nothing done.

Please advise what I did wrong and how to remove the memory hack.

ps guys who used the program chkflsh, were there any changed on your player after you created/resized partition and before your reformatted the player memory?

1. Download...

2. Run the program.

3. Check "As Physical Device"

4. Select the correct drive.

5. Check "Low Level Initialisation

6. Now go back up to the drive box and select the partition listing the hacked memory number.

7. Click start.

8. On the new menu that pops up remove all the partitions listed.

9. Create a new one on the number (1).

10. Slide the bar to whatever the correct memory size is (you need to find this out before hand).

11. Click ok.

12. Unplug device and replug when it asks.

13. Format device in windows.

The device should be showing the correct memory size now. Dump some files on and test it out.

Hi Skinski.

I have followed your instructions, and now I have a player with the correct size, in wich I can pastey files from my PC. The problem is that the player does not recognise them. For example: I paste an mp3 file, but when I try to se any music or any file from my player it says: "no file". Did I do anything wrong?

I have a 2GB Hynix memory hacked to look like 8GB. It is a RockChip 27xx player. H2testw.exe says there are 1.8 GB OK in the player. I have tried with partitions of several sizes: 1.8, 1.9, 1.7, 1.0... And the result is the same. Furthermore, in my player's System Information says that there are 3932.160 GB in total, all of them used.

I would appreciate some help, as my player is now useless.

I tried and got the same result. Nothing changed. The same wrong size. The same "Disk error" message when I tried to plat some song loaded. Please help.

Hi, Can you help me?
I have a hacked 32 Gb that is 1.7Gb with H2testw, I tried to run Chkflsh but I had some dificulties like I couldn't delet the partitions (delete icon is disable and I used the delet key from keyboard and it didn't function either. Another doubt - when I select "Low Level Initialisation" it disable the drive box (that show number of cycles - I suppose that is there where I have to write 1,7 isn't it?). Other problem that my MP4 shows since I bought it is that my usb connection shows that it has a problem, but it works I don't know if it will fix when I get fix from 32Gb to 2Gb. Another doubt - now the FAT is 32, but I suppose that I have to select FAT 16 in the "new menu that pops up", isn't it?
Thanks for any help,
Cláudia.

Hi, I got stuck with one of these blasted rip off China MP-4 players and have had a ton of trouble with it. Spent 30 bucks so didn't want to toss it, you have allowed me to make a 2 gig player out of it, and now it works. Your description was so good, it was almost like I were back in school following a text book on computer repair. Now if I can figure out how to make that dang 32 gig counterfeit SD card I got a few months back so I can use a bit of that costly mistake, boy NO MORE CHEEP CRAP FROM CHINA FOR ME!!

I guess if the communist bastards can't take over our government they will buy our country and sell us crap.

Thanks so much, I was able to remove the fake memory, it seems that my 16 GB was actually a 2GB u__u, luckly I have a SD micro card, slot any idea how much memory will it support?

2Gb at max. it is unlikely that your player supports microSDHC memory cards.

There are some rare 4Gb microSD cards available, but nobody knows if they are compatible with your player. The only way to check is to try. And you'll waste money if you buy this card and then find out that it's not compatible.

Well, I will give it a try and see if I can borrow one instead , no ccc (china cheap crap) for me
