PROBLEM TO REMOVE AN MP4 hacking
 

I hope I can help because they do not, I have found is that the memory is only 2GB with H2TESTW program, not 16GB as I said the Chinese, but that's another subject, I read that before spoil, you can remove the hack it has with the MP3 Player Disk Tool, I have completed the steps, but the problem comes when I am going to reformat from windows XP that only lets me format it in FAT32 and FAT will not leave me because she says capidad that is great, I've tried also by the cmd, but it says the same. I tried reformatting the HDD LOW LEVEL FORMAT TOOL and anything goes on to say that the ability of the player is 16GB. I have also tried the HP USB DISK STORAGE FORMAT TOOL and I did not put the actual capacity of the player, keeps saying I have 16GB.:(


Reference to chips:

HYNIX Memory-H27UAG8T2ATR
PROCESSOR: AK 2025
FIRMWARE: LISONG DESING
LSC_25106V_B1C
2009 - 01 - 05
9.5.54
2008 - 09 - 05

I hope you can help me because I do not know what else to do.

Thank you very much in advance

Here is what I am doing with all the hacked players I buy from China (I resell them after removing the hack).



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.

Hello Skinski,

Would you please advise me how to proceed after step 8 in your instruction ?

I have a screen (see attached) with 0,1,2,3 partitions showed up.
I can not delete them becuase they are empty and the delete button is not activated.

Questions:
(1) Do you have the same screen (see attached)? If you do how you delete them?
(2) When create a new partition, per your step 9 you selected #1, should I ignore the partition #0?
(3) If I format a new partition to 4GB, should the slide bar shows 4,278,853/32,255,970 before I hit "OK"?

This is so far I can proceed. Hope you can help to finish this unhack project.
Thanks in advance!

You only need to delete them if they are showing up.

Your screen shows none so I don't think you have to worry about it.

Just ignore partition #0.

Click NEW on partition #1 then use the slider and set it to the correct memory size. Perhaps the partition number is irrelevant, I don't know, this is just what seems to be working for me without bricking the units.

Yes slide the bar across to approximately what the real memory should be. I underestimate mine slightly.

Let me know how it goes. Sorry about the rough instructions, I just wrote them up pretty fast on the fly.

I've been using this system since HDD Low Level Format Tool does not recognise most of the newer hack jobs and MP3 Disk Tools cannot even see these drives. I found this just by trial and error.

Hi Skinski,

Thanks so much for your quick reponse and further instructions.

I have followed your steps in reformatting the MP5 faked memory size from 32GB back to 3.84GB (FAT32).

The MP5 USB drive and new main file with 3.84GB is confirmed and recognized in the XP explorer screen.
After disconnecting the MP5 from the computer USB port, the MP5 shows 3.945GB (Total).
No more 32GB faked capacity.
I can listen to a test MP3 music file (less than 10MB) from the MP5 with no problem.
In fact everything is running just fine.

Skinski, I am very appreciated your helps and knowledges.

Most important this will be an wonderful X'mas gift to my lovely wife :p

Well thanks again and Merry X'mas !

Hello, I was trying to reveal the memory of my 16 GB fake ipod but when I clicked on the link


http://mikelab.kiev.ua/PROGRAMS/ChkFlsh.zip
I was unable to open it or install it. Is the link broken..? it says unexpected end of archive when it opened in winRAR

thanks

Try this:

To play safe, always check for virus before running.

Thanks, I actually got another version, but i'm still not sure on how to check the real memory of the ipod, would you know how to do it?

The best is way to remove the bottom case/cover of your IPod and ID your flash memory part number. Do a search on the internet for its true physical memory size.

Otherwise you could read the following and do it without open your IPod:
http://mympx.org/forum/support-how/4...sh-memory.html
This might wipe out your existing media file during the process. Make sure you have back up of your songs, photo etc....

My suggestion:
Read all avialable postings from other smart users that related to your IPod Model before do anything.
You can accomplish this by searching your topic within this wedsite. See the search icon at the top of your screen.
This is how I learn from the best and solve my problems!

It took a while to learn and work on this unhack project.......
Be patient.

Hope this help

Is the method safe enough? Doesn't it harm the player's firmware? I cannot backup the firmware. Nothing written here works with my player. So I am worry of its safety.
