  • Zen Touch: Firmware upgraded, Zen unavaila

    Hello,
    I was done the firmware upgrade to 2..0 on my Zen Touch. Everything gone well. The player seems to work fine.
    The new firmware should not need driver (PlayForSure tech.)
    I removed the old software and drivers from pc, and reboot.
    Now if I connect the ZenTouch to PC, It went recognized by "system configuration" but don't appears in Explorer or MediaPlayer0.
    I have try also to use RegClean to clean registry. I have try to reinstall original driver disk but the Zen is not recognized by old software/driver.
    I have try to connect the Zen to another computer, Everythings OK.
    How I can recover my PC? I don't have any Recovery Point in my pc.
    I believe that something happen to MTP driver, or some System Services.
    Does Creative have some "diagnostic tool" ? or MTP driver istallation?
    Please Help.

    (greeting from Italy)
    P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

    There's some advice for the Micro, most of which is also relevant for the Touch, see the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post.

  • --- Petition to put the support of TXT-files on the next firmware upgrade (Zen Xtra, Touch, Mic

    What do you think about creating TXT-files support in newer versions of firmware? I suppose it can be great! Imagine: you can store books (HDD! What am I talkin' about? You can store a great library on your player!), song lyrics and more!Message Edited by AL_exe on 0-30-2005 02:24 AMMessage Edited by AL_exe on 02-03-2005 05:55 PMMessage Edited by AL_exe on 02-08-2005 2:3 AMMessage Edited by AL_exe on 02-08-2005 2:33 AM

  • PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

    FIXES:
    -Ensures correct playback on the player of Zencast audio content that has been transferred using Zencast organiser. Remaining time is displayed correctly, and rewind / fast-forward functions can be used
    - Allows users to transfer tracks between folders on the player when using a program such as Creative Mediasource [THIS IS NEEDED FOR ALL MTP PLAYERS]
    - Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
    ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
    ) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
    2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player
    3) Adds SmartVolume EQ feature to the player
    4) Adds DJ menu to the player
    5) Allows user to partition a section of the player for data transfer
    6) Allows user to synchronise tasks from Outlook to the player
    7) Allows TXT files/ Ebooks to be stored/ viewed on the player
    8) Adds BassBoost EQ feature to the player
    PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO URGE CREATIVE TO INTRODUCE AT LEAST SOME OF THESE FIXES / FEATURES IN A FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR THE MTP ZEN TOUCH - also please feel free to add other suggestions that would improve the functionality of the Zen Touch

  • No power after firmware upgrade on nomad jukebox zen xtra

    I have the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30gig that froze up over a year ago after i tried to install the firmware upgrade. After the unsuccessful attempt, the mp3 player stopped working.... I mean no power at all. I've changed the battery and recharged the battery from an outside source...still no luck. I can't even try any of the suggestions anyone gives on this site because I have no power.Does anyone have this problem? More important, does anyone have this problem and know of a solution?I've already set my pc back to wmp 0, I have the firmware on the desktop waiting. Now all I need is some power on this unit so that i can try some of the suggestions that seems to be working for people. Thank you

    I have the same problem too, but my unit is a?Creative Normad Junebox Zen Xtra 40GB. I was trying to find a solution to my problem when I read about your problem. I have pressed the reset button, on / off switch, removed the battery, reinstalled the battery, and nothing seems to work. I was hoping you?might get a solution to this problem, so that I might be able to fix my MP3 player. If I hear of a solution, I will let you know, thanks for sharing. Issue:? While updating the firmware to the Zen Xtra 40 GB, the unit powered down and?has never came on again. There seems to be no real reason why the unit should not power up. The battery and the AC adapter are working correctly. I am very disappointed in Creative...

  • Creative Zen Microphoto - "Firmware upgrade failed&qu

    Hi,
    two days ago my Zen Microphoto started in "Recovery Mode".
    I had no means of getting out. I first selected "Clean Up" and rebooted, still "Recovery Mode".
    Then I downloaded the latest firmware version for it:
    ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
    Then I selected "Upgrade Firmware", acknowledged with "Yes", the firmware was deleted, but the windows firmware application said "no player connected" after connecting the player.
    Okay, after googling a bit, I found out that I needed to downgrade from WMP to WMP 0.
    I (painfully) did this and after installing an additional Registry Key via fixup.cmd the
    ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
    detected the player (hurray!). It showed "Current Player Firmware Version .20.0 " and "Upgrade File Version .3.0".
    When clicking on "Upgrade" at the windows application, the blue progress bar appeared and the player showed "Recovery Mode" and a blinking USB logo.
    What it did NOT show afterwards was a gear symbol with "Upgrading firmware" (which I found on a screenshot in the internet).
    When the blue progress bar of the windows firmware upgrade application reached about 85% it halted and after minute the windows firmware application showed "Firmware upgrade failed!" while the player only showed a black screen with "Recovery Mode" and the green battery symbol at the top.
    I also tried the same procedure with
    ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe with the same result: "Firmware upgrade failed!"
    Any ideas how to "repair" the player

    I have this same problem except with the Zen Vision: M. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 1.01.03: Problems when Downloading and Installing the Upgr

    Yesterday I downloaded the new firmware upgrade .0.03 to my computer without problems. I then attempted to open the upgrade and initiate transfer to my Zen Micro unit through my USB 2.0 cable. I kept getting a dialog box, informing me that there was an interference problem... So I shut down my Norton anti-virus and my Zone Alarm firewall, and tried again, and again, and again. I was unable to initiate the transfer program...
    I was about to contact you this evening for advice, but I decided to first switch my USB cable to another connector and try one more time. Surprise! It worked... A rather long connection, but the upgrade is now in my Zen Micro unit, just where it's needed...
    I've had my USB cable connected to what I believe is a USB 2.0 connection on my computer, and I often see the "not connected" dialog box. Each time this happens, I disconnect the cable from the Zen Micro unit, then reconnect it... Bells and whisltes sound, and I'm connected again, until a few minutes later I get the "not connected" dialog box yet again... Is this a normal procedure?
    Now, tonight I plugged the USB cable into what I've always considered to be a slower USB connection point... Mybe that's why the transfer took so long? But it stays connected indefinitely... no "not connected" dialog box.
    I've been having other transfer problems through the USB 2.00 connection point. I downloaded 23 tracks to my Zen Micro yesterday afternoon, and three of the tracks didn't make it... Frustrating as hell...
    I'd appreciate any comments from my peers, since everyone here has more experience than me...

    Try turning off the Media Sniffer feature from MediaSource and try updating the firmware again.

  • Firmware upgrade on Zen Sl

    I would like to install the new firmware on my Zen Sleek to upgrade to <SPAN>2.0.03.
    <SPAN>Unfortunately, both the skinny paper manual, and the more detailed CD-ROM manual don't explain how to do this.
    <SPAN>I did try to reset the Sleek by pushing a paperclip into the base and pressing the 'play/pause' button. I never got the option from the player to upgrade the firmware. Instead, it simply went back into the 'now playing mode'. I also downloaded the executable from creative.com that supposedly contained the WMP0 and new Firmware. When I ran this, however, no options appeared to permit a firmware upgrade.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Thanks in advance.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Robert

    Basically plug in ur MP3 player. Download the firmware off the internet and double click onit with ur mp3player pluged in. Thats all there is to it.
    I own Zen Touch 20gig, Sennheiser MX400
    OK, thats what I tried the first time.
    a) player plugged in;
    b) downloading the upgrade from creative, to wit:
    Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Sleek Players (43.87 MB) 9 Sep 05
    c) clicking on the icon that was placed on my desktop;
    d) answering all questions the upgrade wizard asked as 'yes'
    I'll try the process one more time, in case I missed something.

  • Had a failed Firmware Upgrade on a Zen??? LOOK INSIDE FOR POSSIBLE

    From the Nomadness.net forums: (I had the same problem and user inferno9 at those forums posted this which fixed my issues - hope it helps!)
    The problem was that I had formatted the dri've and attempted to reload the firmware, when, BOOM, the firmware updates would not detect the player. I tried all kinds of different strategies, different drivers, different applications, safe mode, etc...until I FINALLY figured it out.
    Buried deep within Microsoft's website, I found this link...

    Issues updating firmware on Creative ZEN portable devices after installing Windows Media Player
    If you have a Creative ZEN device, make sure the device has the latest firmware before you install the beta release of Windows Media Player . To download the latest firmware, go to Creative Worldwide.
    If you try to upgrade the firmware on your Creative ZEN after you install the beta release of Windows Media Player , the Creative firmware upgrade software might not recognize your device.
    In this case, remove Windows Media Player , update the Creative firmware, and then reinstall Windows Media Player . Creative plans to address this issue in future firmware updates.
    For information about removing the beta release of Windows Media Player , see Rolling back to a previous version of the Player.

  • Upgrading Zen Touch Firmware -- Crashed - Now Won't Work.

    Hi all,
    First post on the forum so go easy on me! )
    OK, I brought a zen touch a few years back, and it worked fine etc. Went travelling mid July last year and put it into storage.
    Come home (UK) this month, got it out of storage and booted it up, all working fine, playing music, transfering new files fine etc.
    Went online with it connected to my poota and decided to check for updates etc.
    Thought it would be good to upgrade the firmware, so downloaded the latest version 2..0 ... backed up all my music, then ran the firmware upgrade, it said to plug in the touch, which I did, and off it went upgrading...
    0 minutes went by, and it was stuck on blue bar, still saying it was upgrading. I looked at the touch and it said 'recovery mode'...
    OK, I thought, it's still going, so off I went to make a cup of tea and came back about 5 minutes later ... still nothing, same thing on the touch, but the upgrade firmware on the poota had stopped responding and so I took the reluctant decision to unplug the touch and reboot the poota.
    Whilst the poota was rebooting, I turned the touch off and back on, it said 'firmware problem' and asked me to go through recovery...
    So I cleaned it, formatted it, then rebooted. It still said 'firmware problem' .. so, I clicked on reload firmware on the touch, and it said reload firmware via usb, I clicked yes, and it said erasing firmware and that it was ready for the firmware to be reloaded. So I went back to my poota and clicked on the firmware upgrade programme and it said connect the touch, which was strange as the touch was already connected....
    The touch was recognised by the poota when I plugged it in, but the hard dri've size was only 20mb instead of 20gb, which I thought was a bit strange...
    And this is as far as I can get.
    The touch is recognised by the poota as it shows up on the dri've page, but its only got 20mb registered instead of the 20gb the touch is (although when cleaning the touch it said 20gb available on the touch screen!!) ... I can click on the touch dri've icon and it opens up the dri've but again only saying it is 20mb in size. And also very strange is that when I click on properties on the touch it says the firmware is 2.0.04-0.00.0 ....
    When I click on the firmware upgrade programme it says the touch is not connected!?!
    When I click on nomad it says not connected....
    I've tried the recovery thingy but it says that the touch is not connected!!
    But it is connected!
    HELP!!
    Info that you might need:
    Zen Touch Model No: DAP-HD004
    Poota running Win XP sp2 and also tried it on Win Vista Basic
    Anything else you need to know just ask.
    Any help is really appreciated!!
    Cheerz

    Hmmmm, guess the problem is unfixable then....

  • Zen MX Firmware upgrade issues

    I purchased my Zen MX a few weeks ago. It's been fully charged and I've been using it. It works great! I decieded to upgrade the firmware from the existing v .00.09 on the player to the v .02.04 version that's available on the Creative website. I've read and followed the firmware upgrade instructions and all seemed to be going well until I clicked on the upgrade package.
    The player goes dark and the window tells me that it can't connect with the device. Then I get a device timeout error message. The it tells me I need to reflash it again. So I click the upgrade button again and the green progress bar starts to move and then stop and I'm prompted again to click the upgrade button again. It's just a vicious circle from there. I did notice that the window where the upgrade button is shows me that the current firmware version on the player is v 00.00.00. This leads me to suspect the the upgrade software is not connecting with player at all. When I click close in the upgrade window the software on the PC closes and the screen on the player comes back to life.
    Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
    BTW I'm running Vista 32

    I evetually figured out that it was vista that was preventing the upgrade from happening. So I downloaded the software from an XP machine and transfer the dfiles via a flash dri've. All went well after that. Let me know how you make out.

    This is the long-awaited Zen Xtra firmware upgrade; all current discussion about it is in the sticky at the top of this forum. (Per their policy, the moderators will eventually lock this thread in favor of the sticky.)
    SSR, the top poster on this board (and an expert on Creative players), has an email list on his own website for new Creative player downloads: http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net/njb.htm . Though it's not specific to any one player, you can be sure the Zen Xtra firmware upgrade for MTP/Janus (the technology behind Napster To Go) will be announced there when it's available. (And it works, too: I just got word of the new Audible firmware for my Zen Micro thru that list.)Message Edited by RBBrittain on 09-8-2005 04:07 PM

  • Upgraded Zen MicroPhoto firmware but player still doesn't resp

    I eventually erased the firmware, and everytime I try to upgrade it says firmware upgraded, reset your player, it goes to reboot and then freezes one screen after it used to. Now it freezes on Zen Microphoto instead of Creative. Help!?

    I have had the same problem. I've tried to update the firmware and now thw PC software does nor recognise the zen. Tried everthing and in the process of seding it back to creative. Anyone any ideas. could be cheaper to buy something else that works longer than 4 months.

    I went ahead and updated it anyway. One little thing I noticed was now the volume only goes up to 25 like my Zen Touch instead of 40 or whatever that it did before. Same loudness, different numbers only. Other than that, I have not noticed anything different, but it seemed to work OK scrolling through a song with the old firmware. I did not, obviously, do a detailed comparison.
