512MB Samsung Chip MP3 Player - Formated

[charic]

At least yours has a Brand name ? Mine says "Japan technology" on the side next to a small 512 indication, and says MusicStick on the front, and is sold as a Samsung memory stick.
My son bought the same stick which came with a VBS/Saraci VIRUS installed.....how cute!! That has been sent back, after we formatted that one to. The seller has asked for it back for investigation,(still waiting for replacement) however, I lost the ability to use mine by trying to copy one to another. seems I uploaded nothing to my MP3 player which has left it useless..Might just have to buy another, put it down to carelessness ? Of the 3 that I bought, only one is still working.the 256Mb.....wont be formatting that one?
That aside.I can still format (FAT) and read write to the stick when its connected to USB, as Drive F: but cant switch the player on when in the hand? Also when in the USB port.the Display is Black, as all pixels are illuminated, so cant read anything?

IS there no way we could copy the firmware of another similar MP3 Player onto our broken ones...
As you can see my knowledge of firmware is pretty poor...
thanks,
Ryan

P.S. How many people here bought their MP3s off Ebay?

Whoaa matey.thats how I broke one of mine? Thought I`d be able to copy one to the other, using installer on CDROM.........................I must know even less than you about firmware copying!!!!
I bought 3 from ebay.A 256mb still working, and 2 X 512mb, One of which had a virus detected when connected to a Windows ME installation, and the other broke trying to copy, but a great idea, if someone can do us a program to install, with simple ENGLISH instructions? I`m gonna take a digital pic of my actual player and get it on this site soon? but is very similar to the attachment I`ve already provided.

Hi, I've also bought a variation off this player at eBay. I haven't got any problem with him. But, actually I live in Ukraine, so I was searching firmware whis cyrillic languages support. So, I'll be pleased if somebody would give me a link with firmware.
Also i would like to know how were you formating your player? Do you mean, that you did it through Propeties>Servises>Format in Windows? If the answer is yes, it just mean, that you had deleted the mother firmwere. This funtion is possible only if instruction allows it, as Play said, or manufacter contents CD whis special softwere.

for the guy in Ukraine ... don't even try to do something ..leave it as it is.


for others.....i'm another one with an 512MB broken mp3 player.
The software who came with mp3 player is a crap!?

I am trying to find software wich let you to flash the flash memory card with any firmware from another manufacturers (themp3 players are all same).... i'm sure it will work but i don't know any software for this.
So if anyone can find this kind of software please let me know.

i found guys on e-bay who change your software but only if you send it to them and not for free.

One other thing. The player will only recognize audio files. make sure you are only copying MP3, WMA files. If you maistakenly drop a text file or video file or executable file it may choke the player.

I think this is the site for the MP3 players. Mine seems to be the model XD-18/FM bu there's a bunch of other models also listed. Go to: http://www.xundu.com/index.htm Good luck.

I`ve given up............smashed it up.cant be bothered anymore
However, a new one on its way from HongKong, Only cost £00.01 and £22.oo to post!
Still a tad expensive on the postage, but nevermind, this one should work?

I just bought one of these MP3 player's (the 512 MB on ebay) which everybody seems to be having problems with. I haven't received it yet and was wondering what steps I should take to ensure it works properly. I would really appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

Hi,

I have just bought a 1GB verion of the XD-18/FM froma guy on ebay. The MP3 player seems to work fine (I HAVEN'T FLASHED IT !!!!) but I do have a question if someone can help me....

It says in the manual that you can put the songs in folders on the device. When I put the songs into folders rather than on the root of the mapped drive it says that there are no music files. If I put a music file on the root of the device and then select to change the folder it only displays ROOT in the folder list on the device I can't see any of the other folders I have put on there. Has anyone managed to get the folders working ?

Regards, Mikeeeee

I've bought an unbranded mp3 player with 512mb which has FM radio also, on Ebay.co.in. I've tried upgrading firmware. Initially, When I connected for first time to PC I was prompted to put USB mass storage device CD, it said AdfuUd.sys and MSI.CAB cannot be found. The CD along with the player is useless. I had created 5 folder with MP3 songs in the Windows Explorer and dragged and dropped in the Removable Disk. Having done that, the Music menu on the player showed some garbled language (not Chinese) and then now it states only as 'starting'. Now I have given it in a shop to reformat which costs Rupees.500 .

All users read the message posted by mikeeeee

For Mumbai consumers, There are no. of shops in Heera-Panna formatting the device

[pankajrana]

Rajesh was it working fine now after reformatting?
