Having fun with the hourglass topic, I solved to get to the point to update the firmware. After upfating a firmware in Russian, I got this one :
http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firmware-9050-rocky-2091n01-df634.html

Which really killed my player now !!

By connecting or turning it on, it blinks, and that's all.

Windows recognizes an unknown USB device :

USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&39669908&0&4

Anyway, how would it be possible to get it back to ADFU ? If PID is 0000 ??

I think, THIS is really messy

Hi,
I got a hacked "4GB GEN3" mp4 player from hailetele on ebay. It looks just like the one on the top of this page but it is silver. After getting black screen with hourglass I attempted to update the firmware using mp3player utilities V4.05 upgrade tool. After I did this things got worse. The player would turn on with blank screen switched off and would show up "new usb device" when plugged in but could not be recognised by windows and the upgrade tool would not find it!
With a bit of help from the users on this page I finally managed to get Windows to recognise it.
What I did was this:
Copied a new AdfuUpdate.inf to my windows folder, This is it:

After copying this file I had to Right Click on file AdfuUpdate.inf and select install. After that I'd plug in the player and wait for windows to detect it, manual choose hardware - select from list - all devices - browse for file - windows\adfuupdate.inf.
After all this the upgrade tool would finally recognise the player again but unfortunately no firmware I have tried to date has managed to get this player working again.
ANYONE WHO CAN PLEASE HELP!!
I think I need a full firmware for this player.
It is a 1GB player that looks like the one at the top of this page and uses a nokia phone battery. Has a 2" screen, single speaker and mic. On the board inside is written: v4500-92v1.0 20070729
The memory chip is a hynix 8Gigabit flash ROM (1 gigabyte)
The main chip is a ATJ2092N
The small chip has an SPT logo and I think says SP3757AHN
If anyone knows where to find this firmware I would be Oh so very grateful and of course share my success/failure with everyone.

Jim
Sorry I tought you were a dutchman (flag)
I tried to give you a short explanation to install / update-grade the adfuUpdate.inf file, it's in the download section with an clear step by step explanation

Anyway, Windows detect my MP4 and I can copie files to it but I'm still trying to get the right firmware to get lost of that white screen on my MP4
In the meantime I tried many many firmware's with no succes

Maybe I do something wrong
Anyone a suggestion??

Hi VTR;

To get a working firmware onto your Glacier like player, you have to download the "Mp3 Player Utilities 4.05" and install it !

Second, download this firmware package of Glacier firmwares :

http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-firmware-thirteen-9xxx-firmwares-df652.html


Now, turn OFF your player, remove the battery and plug in your mp4 to USB and wait 30 seconds until it is fully recognized by Windows.
Then open the new installed "Mp3 Player Upgrade Tool" and select the Firmware you wish to install.
Mine was one of the 9.0.50.x ones. You would start with the 9.0.50.8 and then 9.0.50.7 and so on, until you have a result.

A common mistake made by a lot of users, is to not be patient. Because, after flashing, the program says "Done, will exit". from now on, you have to wait for about 1-2 minutes. Then you unplug him, insert the battery and turn him on.
From now on, you have to wait also. first of all, you will be having a loong hourglass showing up for 1 or 2 minutes. This is then a good sign, he will boot for the first time, and after a minute or two, you can use him as normal.

Just one thing, my speaker was not working with non of these firmwares ! but if you don't really need the speaker, don't try other firmwares, becauase, I killed mine with another 9.0.50.x firmare !!

There is one, where the speaker worked, but it was in Russian or Turk. Therefor I was flashing any firmware named 9.0.50.x in the firmware section, and puff, killed

My VID and PID are now set to 0000 so windows detects my player as an "unknown device" : USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&39669908&0&4
I do not know how to correct the AdfuUpdate.inf in order to work with this information

Maybe you could help me too ?

Best Regards
Jim

okay thanks, can you tell me were I can find this "Mp3 Player Utilities 4.05" ??

Maybe you can email it towards me ?
mymp4player@fiberworld.nl

Here you have some tools and even firmware for Glacier like players.

Choose your (real) Flash size and then you get the tools you need.

Good luck

Try to follow the "dead player recovery guide" in the top of this rubric CAREFULLY and be patient (the common mistake ) It did work with mine, install a new AdfuUpdate.inf file from the download section of this site, save this file somewhere on your harddisk and navigate Windows towards it when its asking for it, after this your MP4 should be recognized by Windows, SUCCES!

Hi, I am new here and I have problem with chinese crap like everyone on this forum. My mp4 player looks exactly like on 1st page. I bought my "glacier" on ebay and it stopped working same day when i received it. My piece of crap has on the board same symbols like user's player 'moneytothemax'. There is:

v4500-92v1.0 20070729
The memory chip is a memorex 8GB? (29F8G08MAA)
The main chip is a ATJ2092N.

I tried all firmwares "Thirteen_Glacier-like_Firmwares_www.mympxplayer.org" and "fimware_mp039_glacier" from http://www.uxcell.com/products_service.php?sku_id=mv0blk2048mp039 (9.0.43_1 - 9.1.51). Any idea? If anyone has same which works properly, please make backup and send me

Hi,

Get the latest software here for your player, and don't forget to install the Upgrade Tool 4.05 !


http://www.uxcell.com/products_service.php?sku_id=mv0blk2048mp039

Give it a try

Jim

I tried all the firmware on that site you mentioned, with no luck.
The screen still stays white

Hi,

I have had the same problem, and solved it by installing the upgrade utility tool 4.05 which I found in this download section.

You can also download the "Glacier" firmware package you can find in the download section. BUT don't upgrade any other firmware you find, because I killed mine so. (with the rocky firmware).

give it a try

and tell me what happens after you upgraded the firmware, what tells the programm, what does your player after, and so on, to focus on the problem.

Jim

Thanks very much Jim for your reference to uxcell.com and your advice on updating firmware.
My player looks just like the ones on that website and came from ebay seller hailitele who had the nerve to try and get me to retract my neutral feedback!!! Yeah right.

Unfortunately none of the firmware from uxcell.com or mympxplayer.org would get my glacier-like player to work again.
My player will install as an adfu device but won't even show up as a usb flash disk when I connect it to my WinXP Pro computer, even after trying thirteen glacier firmwares and the one from uxcell.com. I'm pretty sure the thing is well and truly KAPUT(dead).

I will still play around with it on occasion though, as new solutions present themselves and will continue to share my experience.

Let's resume your problem;

you have a silver Glacier like player with real 1GB memory.
you are able to connect him as an ADFU device
your Upgrade Tool recognizes your player
you can upgrade your player with the glacier firmwares without an error message from the upgrade Program 4.05

Am I right ?

So, I think we are good on the ADFU Problem most users have right at the beginning. (you could maybe tell me your PID number -> see my topic on ADFU driver)
If the program says something like "upgrade done, program will now exit", so that sould be a good sign...
It always worked for me, and I flashed mine several times.
Let's resume the flashing procedure :
Turn your player OFF (with the button on top). Then take out the battery and plug him in.
He will get into ADFU
Then open your upgrade tool and select this firmware :
http://www.uxcell.com/tech-support-download/firmware/fimware_mp039_glacier.zip
This one should be for a 1GB silver player
Select the version 3 and upgrade
Now, after the program exit's, as your player is OFF and no battery, he can't turn on by himself, so unplug him, insert the battery and turn him on.
now after 2 seconds you should see the hourglass again, and then you have to wait for 1-2 minutes ! The system has to boot up with this new firmware.
so, now tell me how you are doing, and where exactly we have the first problem, so that we can work together.
(It is a little bit difficult, repairing something without having it in my hands )

See you later
Jim

Hi Jim.
PID is FF66
I take out the battery and connect player to computer VIA usb.
Switch player on and computer detects ADFU device but NO hourglass on screen, screen is blank.
I open upgrade program 4.05 and it reads as follows:
"It is in recover state, and select the firmware file for recovering please!"
followed by a file selection box.
Next I select the firmware Version 3.
I click on "Recover Firmware". The screen lights up, the program goes through upgrade process and reads: "Upgrade is success, the program will exit!" I click OK and the program closes down. The player remains with screen lit up until I switch it off. The screen will not turn off on its own even after a half hour or so.
When I turn the player back on with the battery inside and usb unplugged, the screen stays black, no hourglass, even if I leave it for ten minutes switched on.
I switch it off, take out the battery.
When I plug it back in all I get is windows recognise adfu device again and that's all.
Then I open up update program and it reads
"It is in recover state, and select the firmware file for recovering please!" all over again.
It does this with each glacier firmware I've tried so far. The only difference with some firmwares is that, when I turn the player on after flashing, the screen will light up black/blank when I put the battery in and turn on.
