New firmware for Mp4 Chinese player
Its technically not a new firmware because there are no enhancements. But it change the look of the player. You get a new user interface like the iphone style. You get a new opening and closing animation etc.
See the picture to see what the new interface looks like.
Warning it will only work on the player that look similar to the one in the picture.
For others who want to change their mp4 player firmware here is are some software you will need.
Download S1fwx to extract your firmware on to your computer
its a dos program just extract it and click extract.bat and let it run and when asked give the driver letter of your mp4 player. and it will download a file called dump.bin which is your mp4 players firmware.
It should take like 30 seconds or so.
Download S1res to edit your firmware
Once you download the firmware you can open the file in this program and edit the firmware by adding your own pictures or text etc.
Then using the mp3 player utilities upgrade tool update the player firmware.
The upgrade takes only 30 seconds or so. Be sure not to update the wrong firmware. Good luck

hi.. i got a chinese mp4 player, 1 gb, company name is pro1 DF-M439, it supports onli .avi format , it came with a preloaded video in .avi format which plays well. but i convert some videos to .avi format and put in it , it doesnt play them and displays “file format error”. can u help me out with this?
Reply from Prasanth
If only the video files are getting error then its the fault of the memory on the player.
So format your player to the right size which should be half or quarter of what it actually
is now.
Read this to know more about fake memory

Once you format the player you will not have any problem playing the video.
Also use the program that comes with the player to convert the videos.

Hi, I have an MP4 player that runs *.amv *.mp3 and, I don’t know why, *.wma *.wmv.
my problem is that I tried to modify the firmware, I’ve downloaded the dump file, but when I try to open it using S1res it gives an error while trying to open the file! the error is the following : “An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format”. please help me out because I want to create an Windows Vista like theme for it, I have great experience with photoshop to do the “aero” effects and bla, bla bla…. I just need to extract the dam pictures and edit them. and another question, after extracting the pictures, can I use a higher color quality like 32bit/64bit and if possible a greater resolution to ? thank you very much.

Most of these players don’t allow you to change themes. So infact what you are doing is a firmware edit. So you will have to flash the player with a new firmware to get the theme on to the player.
The problem with your player could be that it has a differnt chipset. The s1res program only works with the some mp4 players. Your player might not be supported.
Try these sites to get the firmware or themes for your mp4 player

Reply from Prasanth
Also try and use the software that you got with the player to encode the videos and try again. Most of these software have few settings so change them and give them a try at a different bit rate. That could also be an issue.

Usually formatting from the player menu is safe.
If there are any option that you can put while formatting please try those and see if that helps.
In most case the usb cable might be damaged if you can find another one also try and bend the usb cable where it connects to the player and the computer and see if that helps. Some times is could be just bad usb cable that has stopped working.
Usb cable that come with these players are always bad.
If your cable is working right you computer should detect something when you connect the player. And then ask for drivers. If its not even showing that try some other computer and see if that helps.
With most of these players its trial and error so try all the above mentioned tips and see if that helps.
good luck

Hi,
I have JXD 661 PMP. There was something wrong with its firmware. Now, it shows only white screen.
I had downloaded its firmware but as I cant use its system link to upgrade, is it possible to upgrade it by using only PC ? How ?
My PC only recognises it as a storage device.
Please, could you help me out this problem ?
Reply from Prasanth
Pmp’s are complicated. The tools i mentioned in the blog post will not work with your player.
Try and search google to find if any tools like firmware extractor or firmware updater are available for your particular player.
Not all players can be updated with one software.

and any way of makin the menu look lyk da one in da pic..really dun luk da 1 ryt nw..
Reply from Prasanth
Since my player is very old even if you have the same player i think yours will have a newer firmware so its risky to do the upgrade. Mine will only change the theme on the player. So if you have any new feauters they will be lost.
As mentioned in the blog first back up your firmware and if you can do that. Go ahead and use this firmware. If something goes wrong you can always put your backed up original firmware back again.
So do it if you can back up your original firmware.

I have cloned my Wilson 9.1.52 1GB Mp4 Player Which Shows “LG MP3 PLAYER ACT_V9.1.52” in Firmware version, with S1CLONE Software (Downloaded from http://www.s1mp3.de/tools.s1clone.html).
This is suited to players which are dead.
Please clone it on your own risk, I have no guarantee whether it works or not.

Hi, I have a mp3/mp4 player and when I copy songs into it on my laptop I can’t play them in the player later. It just displays each song in the folder as 0:0:00 and scrolls through them as if they are 0 sec long.
My firmware is
AK25_SDK
2007/01/12
9.1.53
2007/12/10
My guess is that the player doesn’t recognize the songs I downloaded onto it. Does encryption have something to do with it? Do I need special software for this player? Is the problem fixable? What must I do?
Reply from Prasanth
The only reason i can think of is may be the songs are encoded at a higher bit rate than your player supports. Most players support up to 128 bit rate. If its more the player could have a problem. http://www.prasanthtechblog.com/?p=206 download any song from there and see if they play. If they play then the problem is what i mentioned above.

Hello Prasanth,
3/4 days back I bought JXD 661 PMP. Since purchase, me and my daughter took several still pictures and Dv clips alongwith few audio recordings. Today I thought of preserving these pictures in my computer and load some songs into the player.
Here I am stuck. The computer detects the player as new hardware found and asks for driver, but windows98 is not accepting the driver files in the CD which I received alongwith the player. I tried copying the files from CD to computer but no result. In device manager yellow ? mark is shown and in the PMP Player USB connection picture is shown.
Can you please suggest how to connect the PMP with my computer so that I can get print-outs of the pictures and load some songs for my little daughter.
Me and my little daughter both are eagerly waiting for a solution from you.
THANKS AND BEST REGARDS
Debdas Dutta and Madhulika Dutta

Since the players are notorious with drivers you have to select the particular file in order for the driver to install. just by pointing at the cd it will not detect the drivers. Go into the cd and look for the driver and point to that file when windows asks for drivers.
Once you find the right file its quite easy to install drivers. I can’t help you much from here. Have someone who is good with computers have a look at it. This is the problem with all the chinese players.
Also if you have windows xp machine try and connect the device to that computer. Most of the time it will not ask for a driver and will show up as a removable drive.
Since i don’t have the player i can only suggest things to try out. Look for a usb option on the device. On most of these devices you need to select that for the player to show up on the computer.
About getting the photos printed the quality of the photos that your pmp takes might be very low for a good print photo.
Good luck hope it works out for you
thank you
Hello Prasanth,
Thanks for your reply. This morning through afternoon I had consulted few persons who are proffessionals in computer field. But no luck.What they say Windows also say the same thing, and ‘am back again taking the liberty to disturb you.
There are total 3 *.inf files in the driver CD. Windows by default selects the first file when pointed to the Drivers Directory in the CD. But rejects same stating required file not found. ‘Have tried all the three files.
The player does not have any USB option. The USB connection shows the moment it is connected to the PC and all other functions seize to work till connection is released.
Is there any other way ? or the player is deffective ?
Thanks and best regards

Hello Prasant,
I am pleased to inform you, this morning tried the PMP in my freinds computer whose OS is XP, and with a light of joy it immediately showed up in My Compter as removable drive. My heartiest thanks for your tiny little clue.
The sad part is that I could not establish freindship between my computer and the PMP. The happiest part is that the PMP is in working condition and my little daughters smile has broaden up.
Leaving today with a request, if you can find any means to operate the stuff in my PC please let me know.
Once again thanks to you and best regards.
Debdas Dutta.

Good to know that you got it working finally. It could also be that your device could be a usb 2.0 device and windows 98 doesn’t know how to deal with that.

Hi Prasanth
Somedays back I got my second MP4 (nano look a like) player from China through one of my friend and previous one worked very well and also had 8GB memory and I was able to play all my video,songs and photos on it. This one also is working fine but only till 7 some songs and I have formatted it almost 20+ times using GUI based command as well as DOS command.In DOS mode it showed 8137 MB of space.When I tried formatting it with FAT format it gave error that FAT 16/12 does not support as volume is large.then I formatted it with FAT32 and it got formatted fine.When connected to notebookit is showing 2 drives with 7.99 GB and other very small capacity.I also loaded it with 6 GB of data and when retrieved it on my notebook, data remained same and also all files were working fine in my notebook.If I load an AMV file with 400MB + size and play the file in player the file is running perfectly .But problem comes when I load some more files with,it will play first AMV file but then for other file it will show 00:00:00 and gives format error.Also for songs it will play first 7 songs and then it will restart again automatically.Could u plz tell me whether this has got Memory size of 8GB or less and if I connect it to my notebook again and try playing the songs then only first 7 songs are working and other songs are not working on my notebook and message says that they are corrupted and they appear ‘n’ number of times I connect it to my notebook .Could u help me in finding the issue with this player.I don’t mind using this as a storage device cz I got this for the price less than 8GB USB drive.
Thanks in advance.
best regards

The fact that two disk show up on your computer is the proof that the fake memory still exists.
the players memory could be somewhere around 512 mb or so that is why your 400 mb file and other songs are playing.
to test it put only few songs and see if it can play more than 7 songs. Put like 30 to 40 songs. if it can then the problem is with the fake memory.
if it can’t then the firmware has some issues.
you seems to have done everything you can to format the player. these players are getting more and more clever and it seems harder to get them formatted correctly.
I recently just gave up formatting a player and went ahead and bought a Philips SA 3025 2GB original which can play videos, pictures and fm radio. It even can record songs from fm radio and had an inbuilt battery that is very good. And it cost me 3000 Rs with 1 year warranty.
I think this is the better way to go than mess with these 1500 Rs players that work half the time, and half the time you spend dealing with the problems.
sorry couldn’t help you much

Hi,

Reply from Prasanth
I hope you backed up the firmware as i mentioned in the blog post. If not there is not much i can help you with, because my player has died long time back.
Try and install the firmware again, Some times its just needs one or two tries. Mine too blacked out like that and after another try it worked. This can also happen if you used the wrong firmware. Hope you have a back up.
Thank you

Sorry for the later reply, my internet was down. As long as your firmware updater program detects the player thats fine. Just see if the program detects your player and update the firmware. I don’t have my player with me as its dead now. So i can’t tell you any other ways to try it.
Sorry could help you much.
