Got a 'great deal on this player. Opened the box. listened to some tracks. Sounded quite good. Updated the firmware. Brick. No customer support. Bought a Fioo x5.
I have tried to update the firmware repeatedly, but nada.
Any thoughts about salvaging something from this little rig? Can I somehow wipe what is there and then attempt to reinstall?
Thanks :-\
What was the process for the firmware upgrade ? You could try doing the same with an older version and attempt to boot off of that if it will even power on.
If plugged in to a computer is it recognized at all ?
It also mentions a reset button on the device. Any action from that ?
You add the compressed file to the mini sd and when the unit boots, it should update.
The reset works infrequently. On occasion, it works as intended, and I have played a song or two but
then it freezes.

Sounds like bad firmware or possibly a hardware issue. I suspect firmware if it was fine prior to upgrading.

This is my thought, but I can't find a copy of the v1.0 firmware.
I believe I have an expensive paperweight.

i looked using the wayback machine as well but no luck
Thanks all. Live and learn
How are you formatting the mini SD?
What folder is the firmware binary file on the SD?
Tried different brands of SD?
I bet it iisn't the firmware, it's the. source < ------> destination bootloader design and it's constraints.
Find what it's looking for and the file will replicate to the device
