Help Please My Creative Zen Firmware Prob

It suddenly happened. I have my Creative Zen just one year and a half and last time that I tried to turn it on it just did not. I did not smashed it or soaked or anything. I reset it. Cleaned it up, Formated all, and the same message is coming........ Firmware Problem!
!!! I have tried it all. I download the Creative Zen Firmware .03.04, the computer just dont detect the device at all. Any suggestions??

Try attaching an AC adapter (if you have one) and then attach it to your computer - sometimes this allows the computer to recognise the device so you can?re-install the firmware.

30 gig Creative Zen Firmware Prob


Hi I own a 30 gig Creative Zen Xtra Mp3 player and have been having a problem with it. I have owned it for 3 months. When I turn the player on it starts to rebuild the library but crashes about ?s of the way in and states that there is a firmware problem. Once this screen has come up I cannot turn the player off so I have to remove the battery. I followed instructions posted on another site and entered the rescue menu and selected re- install OS. I deleted the old one and downloaded the Firmware Update version .20.08. I opened the file and a warning came up saying that the firmware I have on my mp3 player is more recent than the one I wanted to install. The mp3 player I own is a old model so I thought that this was wrong. I continued and installed the new firmware. I rebooted the player and it rebuilt the library to the previous level only to crash again stating a firmware problem despite the update. After this I selected the clean up option. It scanned the disc but nothing changed.
I have no other options from the player except to enter the rescue menu. I cannot even turn the player off. When I reinsert the battery it turns on and attempts to rebuild the library and then crashes and the firmware crashes icon will stay until the battery runs out. I run Windows XP home on my computer and I can find no other people complaining of the exact symptoms as mine. Thanks for any help.

If you have tried all this then I can only think the player is faulty.
If it's under warranty then obviously contact Creative Support. If it's not under warranty you can of course also contact Creative Support to get it repaired.
It might be the hard disk which is at fault which you can replace yourself, but it's hard to know this is the problem for sure.

Creative ZEN Firmware prob

First. I'm new here, i've been looking for solutions on the boards but they can't solve my problem.
So my problem is, since yesterday, I tried to connect my creative ZEN to the computer and the player show the message "FIRMWARE PROBLEM"
Everytime I try to turn ON the player, the same message display.
I've already search on the web for solutions, like remove Windows Media Player from your computer, then download the firmware and upload the firmware to your mp3 player, but it doesn't work, because the computer doesn't recognises the player.
PLEASE, HELP ME!
thank you.

I've just found out!
When you turn on the player, you'll have to hold the play button, and then it will show you some options, in this case I had to choose "CLEAN UP" I've lost everything I had on my player, but I have him back!
Thanks, at least, to dranpencil for some help =)

Creative Zen weird prob

I have a 5g Creative Zen which was working fine until today when I dropped it. The player still turns on and connect to my PC ok. I'm still able to add and remove music from my library and it still plays ok but I cant get the view the screen its just blank so cant access any other music aprt from the last one I was playing as cant see what I am scrolling though. Tried to reset it but can see anything so really no idea what is going on. Pretty sure its not the hard dri've and the screen still lights up so not sure what is going on. Any ideas?

Did you break the harddisk? it sounds like you did maybe, but I dont know. Just from what I have read before, that could be it...

Creative zen battery prob

after i upgraded the firware of my creative zen 4gb to .0.05,
i encountered a serious battery problem.the battery drains dead even if my player is shut down.and the battery drains easily.only about 4-5 hours of use(audio).
help pls..

Hey guys!
Sorry for my earlier rant... I was just sooo pissed off about this player. I think I've solved my problem, here's what originally happened:
The first time I tried upgrading the firmware, the player froze and the process didn't complete normally. After that, the player didn't want to turn back on.. it froze on a black screen right after the ZEN logo/text. My computer couldn't even see/discover the player anymore... So I had to restart using the "safe boot" option (holding down the play/pause button while turning the player on). After that, I upgraded the firmware again, and it seemed to have worked, until I noticed that the battery life sucked now, and that the battery kept draining overnight, even if the player was shutdown.
Now after ranting and raving on this forum yesterday, I tried upgrading the player again; it warned me that I was upgrading using the same version already installed, but I did it anyway. It re-flashed normally, and the battery was full charged when I did it. From last night to this morning (over 2 hours), I used the player a bit here and there (for audio/music), and I left it on the table all night; and this morning, when I turned it back on, the battery was still full charge! So from what I can understand, the battery stopped draining overnight! (unless I just didn't give it enough time to drain by itself... even so, I wouldn't have been full charge this morning!)
So for anyone that has had problems with this firmware, I would suggest you re-flash again, using the latest update file available... I will keep using my Zen, without recharging it, until it's drained again. I will post within a few days to tell you guys if it really seems to be working right. Hope this helps, if not, there's always the next firmware version to try out.
P.S.: Is it just me or are the cables and such that came with the payer a little on the cheap side
A 3-inch USB cable WTF Come on creative, not everyone has front panel USB ports! Even the stock earphones look pretty cheap, the wire's so thin, I'm afraid of snapping it! Sound quality is pretty good tho.
Things to think about for the next FW version:
- AC3 audio decoding please! (and all the other types of audio that are not currently compatible with the ZEN).
- Automatic resizing filter to 320x240 resolution (while playing/decoding). I'm not 100% sure the player has enough processing power to achieve this, but it wouldn't hurt to try! It's good that the payer is compatible with Xvid/DivX but you still have to re-encode everything you want to put in it, or you'll see "can't display resolution". But since the converter that comes with the ZEN software is sooooo **bleep** slow to convert (but does a good job), any option like automatic downsizing/resizing will be greatly appreciated by anyone watching videos/movies on this thing. Would it be so hard to incorporate a decoder-filter in this thing
- What else would you guys like to see available on the next FW update

Creative Zen Touch Prob

Ok So I decided to format my creative zen touch (the firmware, clean up the whole deal), no problem.. untill I restart the mp3 player and now I get a "firmware problem" screen and then it refers me to the rescue mode.
So now I try to clean up the disk... done
I reload the firmware ... done
reboot
Back to the recue mode, aha? Ok so I plug the zen touch in to my computer, well finally something starts to happen atleast the windows recognizes my zen touch.
Great I think... untill the problems start coming again, since my zen touch claims I have zen touch version "0.0.0" I think I should update the thing, it says the station is docked... and the firmware program says my zen touch isen't plugged in
So now I'm here stuck without firmware, with a windows that finds my zen touch .. says its plugged in but the firmware **bleep** can't find it, and neither can my windows after 4-5 minutes
What am I dealing with here? and how do I solve all of these problems?
what have I done to deserv this?
And for gods sake do not refer me to any "problems faqs" because I've tried all of em, and my zen touch is not broken since it worked perfectly untill I just did this.Message Edited by Flores42 on 06-29-2006 :34 AM

Dansumthing wrote:I have the EXACT same problem. I tried to install the playsforsure firmware on it, and it hung about 5% of the way through, and now my player is useless. I can't reinstall any firmware on it because the firmware upgrade programs say they cannot detect my player.Would've been nice if they included a warning with the firmware that says "If this upgrade doesn't work, your player will be ruined and there will be nothing for you to do but buy a new one."
That happened with my player too.. try connecting it to a different PC and then try installing the firmware.. that worked for me.

Creative Zen with prob

Every time I try to sync music to my Zen I get a message that says the device is full whether I'm using wmp or another program and I can't format the player either,I have the latest firmware .Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How much storage space you have on the player ? Maybe you could do a Recovery Mode and then do a Clean Up. To get to the Recovery Mode, Hold down the Play/Pause button while switching on the player.

Creative ZEN X-FI Wi-Fi (32GB) - Wi-Fi streaming/download prob

Hi,
I'm a first time Creative user and decided to buy this player as opposed to the iPod Touch and other players. Its a great little player and I love everything about it, EXCEPT..
The online (wi-fi) function doesn't seem to be working properly. I can access MediaBox perfectly fine, however when I try to access my Media Server (which I activated through Creative Centrale), it wont stream or download any files. I can browse through the folders and see the files, but when I try to play (stream) a track, it buffers for second then sto
ps.
It doesn't actually play any sound. When I try to download the file, it simply freezes and I have to reset the device.
I'm very furstrated as streaming was the reason I went for this player and now it won't work.
I'm using a Linksys WRT54GSV.4 router if that hel
ps.
ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

They fixed a bug that could have prevented the proper playback with some files. No more video types are supported by this firmware.
This firmware also once again enhanced the X-Fi Crystalizer feature (although it is not stated in the official description by Creative). It unfolds its full potential now IMO. The Creative Zen X-Fi has perfect sound quality.
@ Creative staff: Why is there no possibility to move a single track up/down in my playback list?
Even the old "Jukebox Zen Xtra" had this important feature.
Also why is the Zen X-Fi missing the ability to record from radio? The predecessor - the Zen - can do it (and the devices have many technical specifactions in common).
Also, I hope we'll get a T9 support for the nine buttons in the near future because the input method Creative technicians suggested is very uncomfortable.

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

HILFE......Creative Zen Xtra Firmware Prob

Hallo, leider kann ich nicht englisch, aber meine Hoffnung ist, dass hier jemand deutsch versteht und ich hier Hilfe bekomme. Ich habe mir einen MP3 Player gekauft. Und zwar einen
Creative Zen Xtra 30 GB.
Da ich dachte, dass der Player mit neuer Firmware noch besser funktionieren w rde, habe ich versucht die Firmware 2.0.3.0 zu installieren.
Aber w hrend dem Installieren gab es einen Stromausfall und jetzt geht gar nichts mehr. Jetzt meldet der Player immer: Firmware Problem.
Wenn ich auf Arbeitsplatz gehe, ist der Player aufgef hrt. Aber wenn ich die neue Firmware laden will, erscheint immer: Player nicht angeschlossen.
Ich habe es mit Media Player 9 und 0 und probiert, mit dem gleichen Resultat.
Auf dem Arbeitsplatz erscheint der Player als Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. Wenn ich ihn dann durch Doppelklick ffne, erscheint Storage Media und darunter steht 20.0 MB frei von 20.0 MB.
Ich bin eine Hausfrau und habe nicht besonders viel Ahnung von all diesen Dingen. Ich m chte nur, dass mein Player wieder funktioniert und ich meine Musik und meine H rb cher wieder h ren kann.
Bitte, bitte, kann mir jemand helfen
F r eure Hilfe jetzt schon ein grosses DANKE.
Gruss Annemarie
