ZEN 20GB - firmware

Hi, is it possible to put on my player ZEN 20GB (this one which looks like micro) firmware for? example from micro 2.xx. Or playsforsure?
Please answer, because i'm tryingto start scrobbling my zen for lastfm

Hi Domel003,
There is no playsforsure firmware for the ZEN 20GB. Future development plan is unlikely since this is an archi'ved product.

Creative zen 20gb firmware frustrat

Good Morning,?I successfully purchased and successfully managed to get the creative zen mp3 player home but that's about where it has ended. Everytime I power up the device the "firmware problem" appears on the screen. I have downloaded the latest firmware from the creative website both on my laptop and on a mates pc. That is do-able but when it asks me to connect my player to the laptop or pc via the usb it does not recognize it whatsoever and just sits there with the window still asking for me to connect the player. It seems like a catch 22 where that the "firmware problem" mesage is stopping me being able to connect ot the laptop/pc but to be able to fix the problem I need to download the latest firmware to the player. I dont have vista or windows media player , as I have read up on that problem that exists. It's been a week now and I am frustrated with it. Can someone point me in the right direction and help turn my paper weight into a music player. Cheers Travman.

EVERYBODY.... IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE BUT DONT TRY WIPING AND REFORMATTING YOUR PLAYERsame thing happening to me my nomad juke zen nx has worked flawlessly for years until a couple of days ago with all kinds of SW issues cropping up when i went to put more music in( not being recognized / connecting and then disappearing / unable to view the players song library when connected / saying its connected one moment and gone the next )...the list goes onwent thru all of their fixs ie player scan disk no problems....rebooted...nuthin.....reformatted and wiped the dri've to start from zero and tried to reload the updated firmware and it will not load...it starts (player HD runs about a minute then stops) and then just hangs up for 5-0 minutes and then a popup says either player is not connected or on restart or connect the playerverified I have all the latest software and drivers so it must be a windows update kill your app fix. I?know the feeling that I now have an expensi've brick sitting on my desk...and im starting to jones @ work due to no tunes....on the other hand I have been looking at upgrading to a higher capacity player Wolverine makes 80 and 00 gig boxs so it might be time to kick creative to the curb!?

The Zen 20GB firmware is available on the Singapore version of the website. Use the Region / Country selector at the top of the page - don't worry, it's in English!
It also works if you type the model number into the Search box on the Download page (Support, Downloads) - use HD005 not DAP-HD005 though.

Zen 20GB (like the micro) Firmw

Hi,
I have a 20gb ZEN (the one like the micro) with version .00.02firmware and was looking for the upgrade but the product isn't listed - the upgrade specifically says the for your , 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
HELP - WHERE IS THE UPGRADE :-(((((
TIA
Paul

It's only available in certain regions, so you'll only find the available downloads depending on what country you choose (ie, a quick check showed it's not listed in the US, but it is in Singapore). If there was a problem with your current player and you needed to reload the firmware, I think you'll have to contact Support if you can't find it on the downloads page. As far as I know, there aren't any firmware upgrades for this player.
2027746,
FYI - the Zen 20gb is like a Micro on steroids. It's got the same design features and layout, but bigger.

Petition - Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

I have recently upgraded my music player from a zen micro to a Zen 20Gb and I am surprised to find that it is a step backward in terms of firmware.
The zen micro went to deep sleep mode after 4 hours. However this player is still using the old setting of 24 hours before going into deep sleep mode.
This adversely affects battery life.
So I have decided to ask creative to change this setting in the future.
Sign please if you agree.
thanks

Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

Hello,
I bought some months ago by Ebay the .
I happy with this product.
I want now to use ZENcast Organizer.
I installed It and it doesn't recognise the player.
On this page : http://www.zencast.com/downloads/
It is written that the ZENcast Organizer Requires an upgrade to PlaysForSure? Firmware.
I didn't find it for my model.
Can you please help.
Best Regards,
Renato Fontana

Cat thanks for the answer.
Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD005) is only one or two year old and already it can't benefit of new features or upgrade ...
My understanding now is that in fine, I won't be able to use ZENcast Organizer.
I am really disappointed.

Zen 20gb - firmwa

Hiya
I have hunted high and low for a solution to this, so i'm going to have a final stab by registering here and asking....
I have a Zen 20gb, it's not a touch, a micro or anything like that, just a Zen 20gb, I think they might have been limited to Europe and Asia, not sure.
The Firmware on board is .00.02
I need to get this working with Vista. I cannot find a firmware, I did try the Zen firmware but it couldnt find the player, then I found further down in the archi'ved section the page for the Zen 20gb, it said my player was not supported anymore, which I was amazed about as it is not that old.
So is there a work around for this, or am stuck with fireing up XP everytime I want to add music to it's By workaround I mean firmwares for other models that might work. Am pretty p***ed off with Creative for giving up so early on this player by the way, it was a few hundred pounds when I got it a few years ago!!
Thanks for reading and for any ideas you can offer : )

I believe they were using Asia mainly Singapore as the test bed for that harddisk based mp3 player but it did not sit well with the customers here. I bought it because I needed the disk space at a close-out sale. I believe that particular model was a total flop and those of my friends and family who saw it thinks it was the ugliest thing around. They have not sold the unit for quite many years now. It was based on a different format and providing a driver for it make be too time consuming and expensi've and probably just support a handful of users who still uses it.
You pretty much cannot use that one failed model to guage what Creative is doing to support the other popular mp3 players.

Zen 20gb Not Connected mess

Hello! Zen 20gb (old type) - had a few problems with it freezing, rebooting didn't cut the mustard so I decided to reinstall the firmware.
Removed the old firmware as per instructions and subsequently the Zen doesn't get recognised as being plugged into my pc to reinstall the firmware. I don't have a separate PC I can use - I've a Mac, but there's no software for the firmware I can download.
Any ideas? I just get 'device not connected' messages everytime I try to open the firmware installer.
Thanks - JimmyRepo

What software are you using?

Zen 20GB cannot turn

I have a Zen 20GB to which all of a sudden I cannot turn on . I have tried recharging it via the adapter for up to 3hrs with no luck. I have only had it for 3 mths now. How do I solve this problem? I have tried resetting it but this still does not work.

It's a bit unfair to berate Creative, as you bought a player either outside the intended region or "exported" it from the intended region. You can't expect European Support to be able to help with a player that isn't in their region, although you don't say if it was based on an autoresponse that you decided this or an actual email from a technician.
Ultimately if you buy a player from a different region you take a gamble, and Creative are actually pretty good at honouring warranties for players sold across regions.
If you'd care to re read my post they were both automated responses, however if as you allude you take a chance buying anything out of area, yes you are probably right as far as creative are concerened.
All I want is the firmware for a zen 20 gb purchased in singapore 7 weeks ago
It ain't rocket science

Creative Zen 20gb DAP-HD0

Creative zen 20gb & Napster to go HE

Sorry if i sound dumb, but is there any way i can get my 20gb zen to work with napster to go??

If you're talking about the old original Zen 20GB, that is a discontinued model. Honestly, I doubt it will see a P4S firmware at this point.
Sorry

Zen Sleek Firmware Upgrade, now my Zen is kap

First off, if the answer to this has been posted I apologise, Ive been trying to sort this out for about 4 hours now and I've tried every fix Ive found listed on this site.
ok, here goes
I wanted to get stuff from online music store, looked it up, found that firmware updgrade 2.0.03 was needed for Play-For_sure functionality.
Downloaded it, did all the bits n pieces, shut down everything, unchecked the detector etc etc etc, double clicked the the firmware to install, and it started.
About 2 mins in, the player reboots, and one of those annoying WinXP windows pops up asking what I would like windows to do each time I connect this device (A) use WMP0, (B) use mediamonkey or (C) Take no action. I selected C.
Player shut down, and the message onscreen was player was rebooting........90 mins later still the same thing.
I was loath to disconnect the player or fiddle with it in any way as I know from past expierence, messing with firmware upgrades can be tear jerkers, so I looked around this site before I did anything. On seeing nothing about firmware stalls I did the only thing I could, tried the firmware installation again, but my PC could no longer loacte the player.
I started trying everything listed, recovery mode, format, reload firmware, checking the USB cables on other PC's etc etc etc
My Zen Sleek is now, it seems, completely buggered. There is now no firmware on it, and my PC cannot locate it at all.
OS: Win Xp
Player: Zen Sleek 20gb
Firmware: (It was .00.05 then upgrade to 2.0.03)
Can anything be done?

I had the exact same problem as Drake. I tried to update the firmware, it didn't take, now my Zen Sleek has no firmware on it and the firmware update that I downloaded from Creative tells me that my player is not connected and will not let me install the updated firmware.
While the firmware download (ZenSleekP4S_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe) does not recognize my Zen Sleek, but Windows recognizes it, and it shows up as "Zen Sleek" in the device manager.
I installed the first hotfix from the KB article listed above. That worked fine. I tried to install the second hotfix, but Windows said that the 2nd hotfix was already installed on my system.
I then did the registry edit. There are two "CurrentControlSet" entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM. I navigated to the USB folder in each and changed the permisions for each.
I then uninstalled the player from the Device Manager and rebooted.
After reboot, Windows recognized the player again and it shows up correctly in the Device Manager.
However, the firmware update still tells me that the player is not connected and will not let me install the firmware.
Help, please.Message Edited by bsteggeman on 07-09-2006 07:39 PM

Cost of replacing a Zen 20GB scr

Hey guys,
I've recently crushed my mp3 player, an old Creative Zen 20GB, and had the screen smashed, it's all black now ! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with sending their mp3 players to repair their screens before, any idea how much something like this would cost in singapore dollars? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks to repair a 2 year old mp3 player. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would presume that the cost of replacement is just the normal cost of the phone - but there is no information to confirm this - that is why I'm a little unclear.
The reason for wanting to know is so I can decide on whether it's worth considering insurance, cases etc. If it's simply a case of buying another iPhone then fair enough - if it turns out that you cannot buy another iPhone without signing up to an additional contract (and so paying two lots of £35 per month) or paying vastly more than the initial purchase price for a replacement, then I would be far more concerned about protecting my iPhone.
Really it's a balance between cost of insurance vs risking it, and the bulkiness and inconvenience of using a case vs increased risk of damage.
