Hi,

I'm looking any information.

How to change the firmware of my MP4 DIGITAL PLAYER ?

SUNPLUS SPA536A HB111

3" 260K LCD PMP w/Mp3/Mp4/DV/Camera/Cinema/Game Player

THANK

Caiman_loco, Changing firmware is a very risky business with any player, however with Sunplus players you run a very real risk of killing your player and very little chance of recovery. In some cases the firmware can only be reinstalled at factory level.

I kwon it,
But the description don't corresponding with my mp4 player.

And the only way to have it, it's change the firmware.

regards

Caiman_loco , what description are you refering to?

If you really are determined to change the firmware, you risk killing your player and needs to be re-flash at factory level as tadad mentioned.

Caiman_loco , i'll suggest that you contact your seller for an exchange or refund. The player might be faulty if the features are not there, or maybe not even in existence.

hi, i got 4gb mp4 players. the cd soft ware is no good. tried and tried to get ahold of the company but nothing! i can get some songs on it but that is it. and i seem to have problems like other people i read about, the battery goes dead and looses all the songs stuff like that. plus other people has sugested that they realy arent 4gb how do i tell? is there any one out there who can help me with a good copy of the soft ware??? i am willing to pay! they say that they are from china. thanks for any help charles. charlesmay22@yahoo.com i took apart one of the broken mp4 players and on the back metal plate on the inside said "SIGMA D" plus of course a whole bunch of chinese. maybe that helps i took them to a computer store and the tech. said the mp4's look good as far as he could see, it was the soft ware CD. so once again please help!?

hi this is charles "chuck22" charlesmay22@yahoo.com i saw your privous log and afterwards relized the technichol jargon seemed familar. on the mp4 players we have the firmware version reads close.... LISONG LSD_801_06 2006/08/21 SDK3.5.37 do i realy havea big problem or can it be fixed by the way there suposed to be 4gb mp4 players please help.....?

chuck22 , please avoid mass posting in various threads. It only makes it more messy.

Firstly, currently there are no 4GB nano-clone/chipod players. The most it'll support is 2GB.
To verify this, you need to perform a format on your player. The guide is here
http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-removing-memory-hack-vt2400.html

Next, if your firmware is the 3.5.xx series, it is an Actions based player. It should play the .AMV format. The file conversion guide is here http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-convert-to-amv-using-the-mp3-player-utilities-368-vt32.html

thank you lattesurf, from chuck22. just a couple of questions?
you say chipod im not sure how to tell the differnce. they are realy thin about 2" wide and 3and a half inches long. the screen is 2 and half inches long controls in a circle pattern. does that help, helpme? and when i hook them up to the computer it shows 4gb, on the mp4 with about 1gb already in use. and the series # is differnt and the date and LSD # that dosnt make a differnce? and last we put music on some of the mp4 players on X-mas day and now there is two of them that wont charge or turn on. my nephew down loaded music without the software cd. are the mp4 players that arent turning on gone or is thier hope? thank you very much and i appologize if i seem to be asking the same things over but i feel i let my kids down already i just wont to try and fix it. charlesmay22@yahoo.com buy the way do you know if the mp4 players uxcell are selling are any good?

chuck22 , the basic firmware versions available are the 3.5.35 and 3.5.37. So if your firmware version contains these combination of numbers, it is the Actions based player.

Regarding the memory, since it's an Actions based player, it'll only support max 2GB of memory. Anything above that is hacked and a format is highly recommended, as it will only cause alot of problems in future. The guide is http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-removing-memory-hack-vt2400.html

Ensure that the on/off switch button is at the on position to be able to charge or turn on.
Does it turn on only when connected to the computer?

Uxcell are the sponsers of this forum and their players seem to be quite legit. So yes i'll recommend them if you need to buy new players.

lattesurf, thankyou once again for your help. the couple ok mp4 players that wont turn on or show that they are charged wont turn on what so ever. at first they did but like i said before my 19 year old nephew figured out hou to put music on them could that have caused the problem and can i fix it? and after i go to these web sites to fix my mp4 players will they work like they are suposed to. music, movies, photos.etc... and will work fine but just have 2gb of memory. thank you chuck22
charlesmay22@yahoo.com

chuck22 , ok. To determine your current problem, you need to answer the following questions:

1. When you plug the player into the computer USB, does the player appear as a removeable drive in My Computer? If yes, are you able to access the files in there?

2. Using the MP3 Utilities Upgrade Tool (included in the cd or download from the forum) and your player connected to the computer. Does the Upgrade Tool detect your player? Do not upgrade any firmware at this point yet.

lattesurf, this is chuck22.
it doesn't turn on what so ever. it acttually feels the longer i leave it pluged into the computer the hotter it gets. but it wont turn on or show up on the computer? ant ideas? charlesmay22@yahoo.com

thanks chuck22

chuck22 , according to what you have described, i would likely think that there is some hardware failure.

Plugging into the USB to charge the player would usually only get the player none to slightly warm after sometime, not hot. and since you have not done any firmware upgrades, the player should at least get detected by the computer.

Probably what i can suggest is to contact the seller for an exchange or refund.
