Fixed a frozen zen v plus.... but now trouble Installing firmw

Ok, first of all, I managed to fix the problem I was having earlier with the frozen zen v. If your player is frozen no matter how you try to manage it:?. reset it (by sticking a pin in the hole below the power?switch) if this fixes your frozen player, then you should be set, but if?it is still frozen proceed to the next step. 2. when turning your player on?again,?hold down the power on button while also holding the play button. When you?see the creative logo, press play again. you will now be in recovery mode.3. go down to the "format all"?option. *note: this will delete all contents of your player, but it will no longer be frozen. Everything should now be working. Ok, now I made the mistake of pressing the "reload firmware" option. I downloaded the firmware that was released this past october on my pc, thinking that it would be less buggy and such. So when I deleted the old firmware, the new firmware does not detect my player and cannot be added. My pc sees the zen v though. After reading a few similar threads with other players, it seems I might need to re-install the old firmware somehow. Anyone know where I can get that? or better yet how to install the new firmware??Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike, here's the link to where you can download the latest firmware for the V Plus:

  • Zen V Plus: Software barrier against installing US firmware on european devic

    Well well... After the "display darkening devil" caught me, I just decided to buy a new player because I need this thing frequently when I'm on the road. Now I've got a Zen V Plus but there is a DIFFERENCE. "Sure, the FM Radio!" True, but there is another one. I was able to use US Firmware (the one without the 'e' at the end) on my Zen V (without PLUS) when the display was still functional. But now I get "Upgrade Failed!" error - so am I right that the PLUS version checks for EU devices and denies installation of US firmware (NB: The US version lets you make the thing a bit louder, because it does not have to comply with brain-dead EU rules system.)

    I have a ZVP, and you can change firmware between US/EU/Asia versions. There is no restriction.
    In order to remove the EU volume restriction, you have to delete the existing EU firmware before upgrading, otherwise the (e) does not go away. I guess it is stored in a different part of flash which is only cleared when you delete the firmware, rather than just running the upgrade executable file.
    ***WARNING***
    DO NOT delete your firmware unless you can successfully update the firmware without deleting. Try it first and make sure it works BEFORE you delete the firmware. Otherwise you could end up with a ZVP shaped paperweight...
    For info on how to delete firmware see the 'Recovery Mode' sticky at the top of the forum.

  • Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

    Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
    Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

  • Thinking of upgrading to a Zen V plus but have some questi

    I own a MicroPhoto and very happy with it. The only reason im thinking of upgrading is that I hurt my back which left my right thumb numb so using the touch scroll/enter has become more work then anything else..
    There are 2 different MP3 players im looking at buying:
    The Zen v Plus or the Sansa e260
    My main question is about the video aspect of the video player.
    . Is there a file size limit's
    2. Does it break up larger files into to smaller parts? The Sansa e260 does this( or did havnt recheck the new updates) into 0min files. Thinking of ripping a movie or 2 and stick it on for long doctor visits.( 2 mroe surgerys for my back)
    3. How is the play back?
    How is the new joystick for control?
    Thanks

    Ah - so a few weeks ago I was in the same situation myself. I finally opted for the Creative Zen V Plus (4Gb).
    The video is actually pretty good on the ZVP... I have ripped a couple of DVD's and converted them using the provided software. It leaves them in a smaller single file. It tells me the format and lets you choose between wide screen (something of a joke on this little jewel) and cropped screen - meaning you won't see the left and right edges. I was surprised that the 5fps worked so well. I mean - I didn't really notice.
    The joystick I have a little problem with. It could be bigger or fatter or something. I occasionally have to use my thumbnail to move it. In contrast, the wheel on the Sansa is easy to use but the play buttons were a real pain to press.
    I also note that the SANSA requires a special cable for charging and connecting to your computer while the ZVP uses a standard USB A to Mini cable (I must have thirty of those laying around these days).
    I was unaware the Sansa had the feature of chopping up your videos. That's a bummer. On the other hand, Sansa has been talking to the folks at RockBox and that could give them a whole other dimension for their player.
    I miss the FM record feature on the ZVP (not that I *ever* used it on my iRi'ver - I'd just like it available). And I miss the OGG playback (which I *did* use).
    What it came down to for me were these:
    a) The Creative Zen V Plus is smaller than the Sansa (nice)
    b) The Sansa has that oddball cable thing going on (bummer)
    c) The Sansa's buttons are hard to press (double bummer)
    So I got the ZVP. I hope this hel

  • Ipod touch frozen tried everything nothing works i tried holding both buttons usually when it freezes its frozen until it dies but now when it dies and i go to recharge it its still frozen its brand new what to do?

    i really dont want to bring it back to apple and end up losing everything on it especially my game

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • My phone was being very slow and i thought turning it off, and back on again would fix it. It turned off but now won't turn back on, except the apple appears on the screen and stays there for a long period of time. Someone help D;

  • Zen V Plus, Pointless reset butt

    So I'm sitting here with my Zen V Plus that has a broken back button. Now I'm fine with the broken back button, I have all my music on one playlist anyway. But here I am and my record button was accidently pushed, and without my back button i cant leave this screen. So as I scramble to find a way to leave this screen i see this very very small hole and the word "reset" under the hole. After finding the right size needle (most were too big, yea its that small) i push the little button; and can you guess what happens? The player shuts off, so i turn it on to find the same recording screen. Now I can't seem to contemplate a reason to make this button if all it does it do the job of the much much larger button right above it. I was under the impression that the button would RESET my V plus and bring me to main menu. Can anyone tell me if there are any ways to actually reset my player.

    The reason for the reset button is to reset a frozen/locked up .mp3 player.
    If for some reason your .mp3 player locks up [like computers used to do all the time in the Windows 95 days], the reset 'reboots' your .mp3 player.
    On a badly locked up .mp3 player, the On/Off switch won't respond and reset is the only way to get things going again.
    I don't have a Zen V Plus, but usually there is a method of getting into Recovery/Rescue Mode.
    Follow the steps and run a Disk Cleanup and Reboot when it's finished.
    Only Format or Reload Firmware as last resorts, as they are fairly drastic steps.
    Disk Cleanup scans your disk and attempts to repair corrupt files. It also resets your .mp3 player to the defaults, so that may get you out of the Recording menu that you're stuck on.
