Mega player 538 firmware problem

Hi! I just bought Mega Player MS5538 with LCD, without radio.
I updated the firmware to v.1.11.03 and now I don't have option to use voice recording.
Can you tell me what to do to restore that option because it's really important to me.
Original firmware was v.1.10..... I don't know exactly. Can you send it to me or give me a link to download.

I removed your e-mail as no one here can send that to you. This is a user to user forum and no one from MSI is here to read that request. Only spammers can look through forums to gather e-mail addies that folks leave out in the open and then use them to spam you even more. Never leave an email addy out in the open like that.
OK on to your problem.
The firmware should be on the CD that came with the unit. You would flash that firmware the same as you did the one you downloaded and flashed already.
You can also use the product link at the top of the forum, to find all firmware for your unit.
You may also contact MSI tech support at http://support.msi.com.tw

Mega Player 538 firmware request

I recently purchased an MSI Mega 538 mp3 player. Which may have been a mistake. I need it to listen to long mp3 recordings of business meetings. Unfortunately, the 538 does not remember its playback location within a file. I may be a half hour into an mp3 and have to turn the 538 off - when I turn it back on it starts again at the beginning and I have to fast forward to search for where I was. Could you please do a firmware update to fix this problem - I have 2 other players that have this feature - I always thought that was standard. Without this the 538 is useless to me.

As this is simply a User to User forum there is no one here that can help with firmware. However a request can be placed at http://support.msi.com.tw

Mega Player 538 won't start anymore

I just flashed the firmware of my mega player 538 to the latest 1.11.03.
The prosedure went ok but now the player won't start anymore.
When I press "Power On" -button nothing happens.
Is there anything that I can do or is the player gone...?
Can I reset the player to solve the problem?

I contacted MSI support, but no answer from them yet.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to wait because I had a very important affair where I needed the device.
So, I returned the player to the shop. Of course the shop didn't have replacement on the stock but they gave me my money back. So, I went to another shop and bought a creative player instead and I was able to complete my affair.
It would have been nice to have the problem solved because the player was perfect for my needs and was very cheap as well (only 20 euros). The new player was three times more expensive and only 512Mb storage.
If MSI will return with a solution I can post it here in case somebody else has a same kind of a problem.

Mega Player 515 "Reading" Problem

Has anyone experienced problems with the Mega Player 515 (256MB) hanging during connection to a PC? It also causes windows (XP & 2000) to freeze up as well (until you disconnect the player).
I've just bought one and was copying some MP3s onto it using Windows Explorer when it just froze up during a file transfer, with "Reading" on the display (normally it says "Connected"). There was still plenty of spare memory (32MB) left. After disconnecting the USB cable, the player plays the songs fine and my PC unfreezes, but the same thing happens as soon as I plug it in again. There is no mention of the term "Reading" in the manual.
The only way to get it to connect to my PC was to delete all the songs manually from the player's menu and start again. After trying this, the player froze again after downloading only 67MB!!
I have the latest firmware (vers 2.08) and have tried the player on another computer; with the same result. Any help here?!!

I had the same problem. My firnware is newer though - 3.00.13
After trying to copy files to it froze, I then restarted my PC. It no longer is recognized by windows and does not want to start. I think the firmware is corrupted.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

COLD CASE (Mega Player 533; Firmware v2.00.02)

Hi,
Well...
Briefly, it is possible to install/use firmware version 2.00.02 as seen...

PS: Sorry for poor image quality. All I have was a cheap webcam at the moment.
Edit: Humm I noticed that direct clicking does not work but you can copy paste URLs into browser's address bar

Questioon, congratulations on being successful.
Unfortunately, the problem is that Firmware v2.00.02 & Driver v1.672 does not seem to work for everyone.
There have been several cases (including myself) where these particular Firmware & Driver Version updates have not been successful & have actually left the Mega Player 533 inoperable afterwards, no matter what techniques were used to update the software (including MSI's Website Instructions).
Could you advise since upgrading your Mega Player 533 to Firmware v2.00.02 did you get the same problem as linhart.ondrej, where the player drives are now no longer being detected by the computer so that nothing can be copied to or from the player.
Also, it would be very informative if you could tell us:-
(1) What operating system is being used by your computer.
(2) What Device Chip is being used in your Mega Player 533. (You can find this out in the Firmware Update Screen. If you click on the "Show Details" Button within this screen you will see it in the top right corner) and
(3) Was there anything different in the procedure that you used that allowed you to be successful with the firmware upgrade to v2.00.02?
Any further details that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Could you please reply in the below topic, so that everyone can benefit from knowledge.

MSI Mega Player 538...

I'm sorry for a bit of a repost...
Has anyone here tried using 1GB MMC or SD flash card with the MSI Mega 538 (or 533 player)??? Which card?
I have a MEGA 538 (it looks preety much exactly the same as MEGA 533), and a 512MB MMC card to go with it... I'd like to buy 1GB card, but I'm unsure could/would anty damage occur to the card/player if I were to insert 1GB card into the 538 (because the manual lists 512MB as the limit).
I'm asking this because I used to have the same dillema back when I was buying Nokia's N-Gage... It also stated in the Nokia's manual 256MB MMC size as the limit, but as it turned out worked with a 512MB card... Are there 1GB cards out there that would work fine with 538/533?!

Another day, another ideas... But still can't find a solution ! I've searched the net for infos and:
http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2005/01/03/345926.aspx
On this blog Michael Swanson has the similar problems with usb 2.0. He solved it by buying another usb card. But I won't do it. I think the problem is more involved, than just downloading drivers. I've tried a lot of drivers but the result is nothing more than a freezing windows . So I give it up, waiting for smarter people helping me out...

MSI Mega Player 541 firmware

hi
recently i bought MSI Megaplayer 541. Anybody can tell me where can i donwload the firmware for this device.
Another thing is when no music is playing i notice got humming :undecided:sound coming from the player itself
pls advice

FIRMWARE PROBLEM - ONCE & FOR

Right, I have tried every solution and still I can't work my **bleep** Zen 20GB player.
I have tried every option on the recovery menu, and still as I turn my MP3 player on, "firmware problem" still shows up. Everything was alright with my player this morning, until the message randomly popped up.
Please just give me a solution! And I don't want a link, I want a stonecold answer.

You have to reload the firmware. Download it from the creative site for your region+player and start the update while the Zen is connected. If your player has trouble connecting, then read the following:
DM wrote: First thing to do is make sure you have Windows Media Player 0 installed, and you have Service Pack or 2 for Windows XP. Download the following 3 hotfixes:
Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922
DRM performance fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;902344
Fix for large data transfers: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;89536
Once that is downloaded and installed open up Device Manager and find the player. Update the drivers for it and choose the option to scan via Windows Update (not sure the exact wording). Once that is done, delete all your USB Controllers listed in Device Manager and restart your computer. Reconnect the player when its finished readding the devices you deleted. Run the firmware update program again and see if it works this time...
It helped my Zen Vision: M reload the firmware.

Mega Player 533- F/W v2.00.02 & Driver v1.672- Possible Problem & Fix to Recover

RE: Firmware v2.00.02 & Driver v1.672 Update dated 06/04/06 for Megaplayer 533 - Model MS5533.
I think that there is a possible problem with the above Driver & Firmware Versions as they do not seem to work for the Mega Player 533 - Model MS5533 ???. It renders the player inoperable (ie.Unable to turn player on at all) and also makes the 256MB flash drive unrecognisable to the computer (ie. computer asks for a disk to be inserted into the flash drive, similarly like the SD Expansion slot) .
All Steps to update the firmware were followed to the letter, including no battery, updating to the new version of the driver software v1.672, formatting the drive at the same time and pressing sustained "play" button.
Possible Fix : I was able to make the player operable again by reinstalling the original driver software & rolling back the firmware version back to v1.00.06 again (Try original firmware v1.00.02 if you haven't saved the v1.00.06 Firmware to your hard drive, as MSI does not have any longer the v1.00.06 firmware on their website to download anymore ). It now works as it did before :D(unfortunately still with the "ROCK" setting bug) .
NOTE: In order for computer to recognise the drive, Press sustained "Play" button when connecting to the computer, then please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MEGA PLAYER MS-5533" then "Download Firmware".
Computer should then recognise the player and allow for the firmware update .
My main concern is that many of MSI's other unsuspecting customers will download this particular software and experience the same problems as I did. They probably won't be able to figure out how to rectify this issue & therefore unfortunately be left with a player that does not work at all .
I have logged this problem now with MSI, but have yet to hear a response from them.
Has anyone else out there experienced this same problem or is it just me??? ???.
I searched this forum for any similar posts for this problem but found none.
If I am doing anything wrong to update firmware v 2.00.02, please let me know.
I did notice however that driver v1.672 software for MS5533 was called a "Megastick" and NOT a "Mega Player". Is this possibly the cause of the problem as it is the wrong driver for the MSI 533 Mega Player - Model MS5533 ???. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Actually it is a long story including 2 other 533s which are fried (literally) during upgrade process.
Here are some of my experiences...
After completion of one of my upgrade attempts I inserted battery and get "usb power surge" message when plugged. That rendered the device inoperable with the battery. It was still recognizable by windows both as recovery and storage devices depending on pressing/not pressing start button before plugging.
To be sure I checked the usb voltage of my PC with a multimeter and it was about 4.5 volts on load. During my countless plugging unplugging attempts I accidentally noticed that if I connect USB cable sort of half way (like only dc power pins connected but data pins not) device was able to start as mp3 player. I mean original mega logo appeared and device was able to play mp3s as normal. Then I made a special usb cable to try to power it with 3 serially connected AAA cells (~4.5 volts total) via USB port. And surprise,... it was working. So for a couple of days I used it with that external battery pack. It was big and ugly though. And I gave it to a friend who likes customized! devices : ).
And here is what I did to install latest firmware into my second 533:
1) I deleted all file instances and registry traces of old 533 driver and downloader versions both automatically (by uninstaller) and manually (coz related sys file was still there, in system32\drivers folder and maybe also in driver backup after automatic uninstallation). Also maybe it is necessary to perform a complete search because despite I deleted the related sys, windows was able to install recovery device probably from its driver backup folder. I also deleted related oemxx.inf from \inf folder (be careful, don’t delete the wrong oemxx.inf ones belong to other devices). Because windows rename/recopy original *.inf into oemxx.inf.
2a) I put firmware files from zip into driver installation package's bin folder.
2b) Again I put firmware files from the zip into c:\program files\msi\... after installation (though this step is probably unnecessary)
3) I removed battery, pushed the button, plugged in, windows recognized it as recovery device, after about 5 seconds (not too long coz a device timeout occurs sometimes, and if this happens unplug and replug while still pressing the button) started software, now device was disappeared from hardware list momentarily and re-recognized as storage volume.
4) Here I get an error message like "operating system error..." It was impossible to use software with the device recognized as "recovery device". I unplugged and re-plugged now without pressing the button, device was recognized as usb storage volume and I started the software and upgraded the firmware. Device was inoperable...
5) Repeated the process, now with pressing the button. I upgraded the firmware. And everything was OK. Rock EQ fault was gone. A playlist function is added, hough I dunno how to use this as yet : ) When I go into playlist option I’m unable to exit, and only way I found to exit is turnoff. Except this detail it works properly.
My computer is a standard Dell latitude c600 (an old model with one USB-1 port only), with windows xp spII. Device chip is stmp3502 according to latest driver but it was a stmp3500 according to driver on the cd came with the device.
Hope this helps,
Best regards.
PS: Despite the whole adventure I really like this device, its plain design, SD card feature, removeable battery, and especially its stmp35xx chip, also used in ipod shuffles which is regarded as best sounding ipod model, by some people.
PS 2: Maybe this is known to everyone, but I just noticed that it is possible to play non-compressed wav files with maga player 533 (16 bit 44.1 khz stereo PCM files). All you have to do is copying them into "voice" folder of the device. Then you have CD quality audio. I dont know whether it is possible with older firmwares too, or just a feature of latest one. I also tried higher quality formats like 24 bit 48 khz but device couldnt see these ones
anyone tried this procedure? did it work?didn't work for me..

Mega Player 515 dead after firmware update

I've just updated my mega player 515 with the latest firmware V3.00.12.. everything seemed to be working until I selected the new "playlist"-item in the player-menu and it turns off.. whatever I do it wont turn on again, the computer cant recognize it anymore either.. what to do? please help!

Same thing just happened to my 515.
Updated to the new firmware (V3.00.12). All worked okay, I uploaded some music, played no problem, until I went into the playlist.
The thing just froze on the folders list. Can't turn it off and the PC won't recognise it.
Waiting for the battery to run down, now to see if that works.
Will let you know, but if anyone has any ideas .......

Problem MSI mega player 533

after update 002.000.* firmware in MSI MEGA PLAYER 533, windows and linux not detected MSI MEGA PL-533,and can not switch "ON" my devices,how to repair
in windows INITIALIZING MSI-5533 not detected devices ,pleaase help meeeee how to repair

I finally solved "the v2.00.02/v1.672 firmware update problem" [after 20 install/reinstall f*ckups]
[I also tought (at the time) that my player is dead/fried...doesn't matter now dough..]
It's almost funny now how easy I made it to work again with updated firmware..
point is that when you connect it on USB without pressing anything and start updater
and when it says "Media state not initialized" you check "Format" and run it..when completed
unplug it..and then again connect it with play pressed all the time (as described in instructions)..
start updater again with format option checked and wait to complete..thats it!
now finally everything works fine as it should be (v2.00.02)..
P.S. "Questioon" wrote that he didn't figured how to work with playlist..just, when you are in the "playlist", need to press next/previous key for about half a second to navigate through folders (when you copy music to player you put it in folders if you want to use playlist feature)
