16 GB Mp2/mp4 fake ipod, need lots of help in removing memory
 

Hello,

I recently purchased an 16 GB fake ipod and i do not know how to remove the memory to show the true memory. I looked up at the "how to remove hack memory" guide but I was unable to download the AMV converter. this appeared:

C:?DOCUME~1/COMPAQ~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/RAR$D189.000/MSI.CAB

I tried dl all different version of it and iit doesn't work. I have a windows XP. Is there another program I can use? or can someone help me with the current problem. (I don't know if this works) but someone told me to format it at windows..? I'm not sure what it meant but I plugged the ipod in and right click to hit format, under my computer. It still says 16 GB.

After a certain amt of songs in the ipod, the files started duplicating and I was unable to deleted them unless formating it. I really need some help on this. Thanks.

for what it's worth...I have bought the exact same item, and what you are describing is the exact same thing that happens to me..
the short answer for you is no...there is no resolution for this.
you can TRY to right click each duplicate file and select "delete" and watch it go away...then do it again for the next one (right click - delete) and delete each one, one at a time (that's the only thing that seems to work for me)

Mine is also 16 gig. I have 18 gig of music on my PC. I can commonly get about 200 songs on the device.
When you select MUSIC in the main menu, you can see a number on the TOP RIGHT of the screen indicating the number of songs you have on the device.
if I get 170 songs on the device...then try to add a few more...they seem to transfer, but when I got to the MUSIC menu and look at the amount of songs on the device...it may stay at 170.
I'll try and try and try to add more songs..but it just wont add more songs

I'll have to format the device (either on the device itself OR with the PC back to zero songs.
what I have found that works for me is copying songs about 20 to 30 at a time. I just put them on the ROOT directory (it's easier that way)
20 to 30 at a time seems to work pretty well (it takes a couple hours to get a couple hundred songs on the device). The most number of songs I have been able to put on is about 800. But even with that...like 50% gave a "format error" error message. I had to manually delete that song in the device (very annoying)
I bought mine from EBAY for like $5 ($20 shipping fee)

it DOES work...but I can't play more than like 400 (ish) songs at a time, 'cause the device just wont load 'em. I have to format the device completely if I wanna re-copy new/more songs on.

I can format it, and it'll only accept 170 songs, then format it again, and it'll only accept 230 songs...format it again, it'll stop at like 300 etc.

very annoying.

I'm saving up for a $129 SONY 16 gig mp3 player I saw in a retail store recently

this is a review I wrote on another website.

thanks for the reply nina! Do you know your estimated amount of gig your fakepod has? I don't think I can fit even upto 400 songs. I have a question though, so each time you format the mp3, you can fit different amounts of songs in it?

mine says "16 gig" as per what my computer recognizes. It is a 16 gig. I have no doubts about it.

BUT

. the software/menu navigation interface is horrible (the menu and buttons and ease-of-use
. it's not reliable for playing/copying music

so the memory card on the mp3 is really a 16 GB? I thought its a fake, cause yesterday a ran a flash memory check on it and it gave me 1.7 GB usable memory...

...it may not be 16 gig...I don't know
my says it's 16 gig.
As I said above....sometimes I have been able to put 200 songs on...then it just wont load more songs.
Other times, I can format it, and put 500 songs on it...and it just wont load more songs.

AND of those songs....not all of them play. I often get "format error" when trying to play.

Format error is due to hacked memory.

Once the real memory fills up everything else is just indexed with no actual data behind it. As you add and remove different files the index becomes really messed up until nothing will work on the player and thus you are formatting to fix it.

A better idea is to remove the hack by following the instructions I posted here.... http://mympx.org/forum/support-how/4...4-hacking.html

First you'll need to confirm the real capacity. I personally just 400MB movie files one by one and when I get to one that will not play I know I have overstepped the true capacity. I then use Check Disk as outlines in the linked post to recreate the boot info.

I find all the other guides are outdated in regards to the new players coming out of China.

Check Disk has worked for all the Touch Screens I buy as well as the Nano clones.
