ok i read some of this forum's blogs and found out halitele's mp4 arent very good. today is the first day i got the mp4, and im just wondering what i need to do to prevent any problems later on?
i also got another problem. i downloaded amv converter tool 3.68 and did the chip=1 thing, but after the first movie i convertered, my mp4 can't run the amv files anymore. i get the "format error" sign everytime i try to run a movie. i tried converting new movies but they also don't work. can someone please help me?

should i remove my memory hack using this "http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-removing-memory-hack-vt2400.html"?

i was just about to do the first step of the memory hack and realised that it said that my mp4 was 962mbs, did i just get ripped off?
im not going to do the memory hack until i get some help so please help me

blackcrusader , well seems like your player is a hacked 1GB chip. i'll suggest that you continue the procedure to remove the hack itself.

For videos, try encoding using MP3 Utilties v4.15 here http://www.mympxplayer.org/amv-convert-tool-415-mp3-player-utilities-415-df635.html

ok thanks

Can I suggest that as a precaution you make a "clone" copy of your flash using s1clone which you can download from www.s1mp3.de
Then if your firmware gets corrupted at any time you should be able to restore your player, it is almost impossible to match the correct firmware to these sorts of player. Maybe best to do this BEFORE and AFTER removing memory hack. These cloned copies may also be of use to others so it would be helpful if you could upload them, perhaps with a photo of your player and the chip numbers inside. Also check the system settings and note down the firmware version that is installed.
This is what I "SHOULD" have done with a player I have, which worked great for a week then gave the dreaded perpetual hour glass....
Good luck

the new convert worked perfectly, thanks.

oh no i already removed my hack and i didn't clone mine. what can i do nows?

Should not be a problem, but I suggest you clone it now before you start using it properly. The less files you have on the flash disk the better, as this will reduce the size of the clone file you get. As I said, keep this safe and ideally upload it with as much info on your player as you can (it will then help others). Did you check your firmware version on your player settings menu?

i just checked it and its an Action 9.1.52.
LG mp3 player, QY-066FVO, TFT70023, 2007/10/16, Action 9.1.52
chip: HYNIX, KOR, HY27UT088G2M, TPC8, 741AA
im formatted and started cloning the player using the s1clone wizard.


i checked the firmware list and my firmware isn't even on the list, is this bad?

what does updating my firmware do and how will it benefit me?

Full Firmware files above v9.0.43 are very rare because they cannot be extracted by current tools. Unfortunately there are different versions of each firmware release for each hardware configuration. This makes it at best a nightmare, at worst impossible to locate the correct firmware file to revive "dead" players. However an s1clone image should enable you to revive your own player if it dies so I would do one now before too late! If your player is a "Glacier" style one, with the removable battery, peel off the sticky paper under the battery and get the chip numbers (particulary on the 2 largest chips). If you can see a board serial number, note that too. My firmware was 9.1.51 so this will prob not help me but could well help others.
Good luck

biggest chip: HYNIX, KOR, HY27UT088G2M, TPC8, 741AA
second bigest chip: AK 1025, 7H..... cant see the rest

can you please tell me more details about my player?

if i do want to update my firmware, what file would i be looking for?

You have a 1GB Hynix flash memory chip, so it was definitely a hacked player. Your player is a Glacier style which personally I like (good size screen, removable battery, nice small shape and does not look like and IPOD!!). The processor is AK1025 which I believe is itself a copy of an Actions chip. My advice is DO NOT contemplate updating your firmware unless the player stops working completely as you will almost certainly kill it. You will have taken the clone image hopefully. Again, unless the player dies do not use this, even to check you can restore it, as it is possible that the s1clone program will not work properly writing the image file back to your flash. Saying that, I think it is currently your best chance of success if your player DID die.
Just to reiterate the advice because it is important. IF YOUR PLAYER IS WORKING DO NOT MESS ABOUT WITH TRYING TO CHANGE THE FIRMWARE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A DIFFERENT VERSION, AS YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY KILL IT.
Look at the posts on the forum, the vast majority are looking for firmware....

PS Please upload your clone file (www.megaupload.com or similar). I will try it even though my processor is AK1022 and I have a Samsung flash chip. Others may have more chance of success.
