I need help , 8GB ZEN has 'Firmware Problem' mess

Hi there I'm from Singapore & I bought a 8GB ZEN from West Mall's Harvey Norman last Oct .
Eariler on , I realised that my ZEN has a 'Firmware Problem' message displayed on the screen . I try as might to reset the player countless times but no matter what , the message still appears & to make things worst I tried to call the customer/techincal support hotlines but they're closed for the day :S
I don't know what happened , it was still working fine this morning when I brought it to Uni . Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
Thanks
Karen

If you get the firmware error, you can go into the Recovery mode by holding down the Play/Pause button while turning on the unit. Then do a 'Reload Firmware'. This will clear the firmware. Download and run the Firmware update from the Creative website for the Zen. This should reaload the firmware with the latest version.
If that fails, just bring the Zen and the receipt down to the Creative service centre and they will take care of it.

Zen Micro with "firmware error". Seeking resuscitation advi

I've posted in several threads as my Zen Micro's health deteriorated and got no advice yet. Hope this time someone figures out what can I do.
I've got a Zen Micro, using it with Windows XP SP2 with WMP 0.
Firmware on player was 2..02 . I started having issues when syncing, it would hang and not finish the session, with the device screen on the "do not disconnect" signal. Read the forum and followed an advice to "upgrade" firmware.
Tried to reload firmware, but the process hanged at the "erasing firmware" screen for a long long time. I disconnected the player. After that, the device won't boot. It goes to the recovery screen after a "firmware error" sign.
If I try to re-upgrade with 2..02 firmware using the PC, the progress advances but at some point it says "firmware upgrade failed".
Tried to roll-back to . firmware. It goes through. It says (showing 2 blue squares of progress) "format completed successfully" then the progress stops and the player remain with the "do not disconnect" signal for a long long time (30 minutes, hour, forever?).
I tried to roll-back to .0 firmware. Message says "please install latest jukebox driver that support your player". I did, but the message stays.
Anyone knows what can I do to load a firmware succesfully?Message Edited by raft on -7-20062:56 PM

Dear Creative!
You screwed the upgrade program a bit, because it is works ONLY IN ENGLISH version on Windows XP. Shame! You are pushing me into the sea of warez...

New Creative ZEN Firmware 1.21.03" firmware does not work

>New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work This new "Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03, Filesize : 7.6 MB" firmware does not work.
All I get is : "Please make sure there is only one player connected" (See image below)
I have a CreativeZen 4GB player with Vista 64-Bit Operating system (Main System).
Yes, I have followed the instructions step-by-step, downloaded the new firmware first, then, connected my ZEN player, double-clicked the "ZEN_PCFW_L22__2_03" downloaded file.
Note : No other programs were running in the backround, even turned off installed firewall and anti-virus software. Also, tried this new firmware in a Windows XP (SP2) computer system and a Notebook Vista 32-Bit computer system. Yes! I only have one player connected. Same result (See image below).
I left it sit for one hour and did not move, same result (See image below).
I tried this in safemode (All OS systems), same result (See image below).

Re: New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work$ I updated my Zen 32GB using Vista x64 so it can work under some situations. Can't say my upgrade went problem-free but it did work in the end.
You might try some of the following (no promises they will help, but can't really hurt):
Re-download the firmware updater. Maybe you got a bad download.
Make sure your Zen is directly connected to a system USB port (i.e. not to a port on a monitor, keyboard, ext USB hub, etc.)
Try running the firmware update as Administrator if you aren't already
Try uninstalling the Creative drivers before the update.
In my case I got stuck on a message that another application was using my Zen. Turned out the simple act of hooking up the player resulted in Vista running a headless "wmplayer.exe *32" process. I had to manually kill it from TaskManager in order to proceed. Even then the first update attempt ended with the Zen reporting a firmware problem and rebooting into the Recovery Menu. I had to use Reload Firmware to erase what it had and then try again. Second time was the charm.
After all that I can't for the life of me see any changes/improvements in the new firmware. The forum is full of gripes and wishlists yet none of them complain about the radio functionality. I've used it almost every day for year without issue (aside from the rare Zen hang/crash when messing with the headphone jack and/or sliding the power switch). Thank goodness after waiting 0- months since the last update they got around to fixing something nobody noticed was broken. /2?:smileyvery-happy:

My Vision M has a "Firmware Error&quo

Whenever I turn it on, it goes straight to the recovery page after saying "Firmware Error". I'm thinking I should upload the firmware, but I'm not sure how to do that. If anyone knows, would you mind explaining please?
Thanks.

Hi there if you follow these instructions you should hopefully be able to update your firmware.
Click Support, this is found near the top of the page on the Orange toolbar
Click on auto update
You will now need to plug you player into your computer
Finally follow the on screen instructions and they will take you through until you have a choice of updates for your mp3 player, primarily look for the firmware upgrade and get that however when I upgraded my firmware I noticed a couple of other useful programmes so upgraded them at the same time.
There are some clearer instructions in this thread I have left as another solution
Zen Vision M and Windows Media Player Solution
If you copy the above text into the search bar of the discussion forums page you should be lead to it.
Hope this helps
Please reply and let me know how it goes

Ios5 upgrade fails with firmware error on my iPAD (original) - how can I fix this or return to ios 4?

I was offerered ios5 on my perfectly working iPAD yesterday - it failed and left the iPAD unusable

Tried all suggestions on Apple support pages and completely different PC, sometimes get some USB errors but log below is most common issue.
Any suggestions - iPAD is now useless as stuck in recovery mode.

Just to conclude, and give hope for any still suffering, I succesfully upgraded my iPAD to ios5 yesterday evening.
I did have a conversation with Apple support a couple of days agao, in line with many others I was given various reasons why things oustide the Apple environment might be the root cause such as
- ports blocked on the network I was using (although when I asked which ones they weren't certain - "80 and 442 we think" was the response
- a fault on the iPAD
- slow network connection
The more interesting part of teh conversation was Apple was that the firmware update part of the install actually involves quite a lot of interaction with apple servers. My conclusion would be that the well documented performance problems in the early days after ios5 release were the root cause of my problem - reference to network ports. iPAD faults were just a smokescreen.
My key learning - don't upgrade soon after a major release, I already knew this but when offered an update I didn't go back and check precisley when it had been released so I should have paid more attention :-)

*When browsing albums by artwork, Make the title scroll without stuttering and slightly faster
*Fix the bug where the player will randomly freeze when playing songs, the audio keeps playing but all the buttons and display are frozen, reset is the only option (Happens in both album and shuffle mode and videos)
*Fix the bug where certain videos freeze at the same point every time, skipping past this point they play fine again
*When charging on computer, the player fills up its charge bar after about an hour or so and says its charged but after a short while it starts charging again with the bar on full. If you take it off charging after the first charging bit you get significantly shorter battery life than leaving it charging for a further few hours until it says its fully charged again.
*Support playing protected content from the SD card e.g. audible books
*playing MP4 files with AAC audio is broken with this firmware (Worked in the previous firmware).
*The battery can lose a significant charge whilst off.
*An mp3 will only show album art if the Album field of the ID3 Tag has something in it
*When playing an album, the cover art shown is not always the one embedded in the current track(It appears to show the most common one for all the tracks in the album, even if the track is played on its own). Therefore if one track in the album contains different cover art it does not display the different embedded art for that track
*The random play is not always that random
*When playing a song then connecting to pc after disconnecting the song has stopped and is at the beginning
*Some SD cards are reported not working any more after updating from the previous version
*When plugging in headphones when the player is off there is a flickering of the screen and the player momentarily comes on then goes off
*The repeat track mode only repeats a track 6 times before stopping
*Sometimes when plugging the player in it does not dock even though it charges (When turned on and off)
*You turn off the player just after it goes into the red battery section, turn it on next day and the battery is the same, turn off without playing anything, try and turn it on several hours later and no battery at all (No low battery warning was given at any point) perhaps the battery discharged the last bit while turned off in standby mode.
*When the battery is very low and the player can't turn on, perhapse the power led should flash twice when you try to turn it on to indicate this, otherwise you might think the player is broken. (I got very worried the first time it happened)
*In my computer when viewing the properties of the zen by right clicking the icon (which is not enabled by default) the battery status only show the value when the player was first plugged in and does not update to show a higher charge after time, even after closing and reopening my computer, to view the updated status you must unplug and re plug in your zen.
*When a custom background is set and you are viewing a full a screen image and you press back, the background image flashes for a second on the screen before stuttering and flashing back to the thumbnail view
EDIT: Added a many more things

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.

New ZEN Firmware after sept 2008 : Dream or realit

I guess the ZEN is now considered as an old product for the CREATIVE's engineers...
Do you think a new ZEN firmware with few enhancements (like SD integration) could be possible after sept 2008 ?

No, that's the end of the line.
This has been the pattern of Creative in the past. Release a bunch of new firmwares in the first several months, then stop. There hasn't been new firmware since February.
So much for SD integration and a proper resume function.

Zen firmware - fast start

Hey, does anyone remember which Zen firmware it was that always gave the fast start up time? And if so, does anyone have a link to it's
Cheers
Steve

I couldn't get it to work so I contacted Creative yesterday via e-mail. And amazing fast and friendly support they have got in Denmark
He said that it was a harddisk failure and it would cost me 67.52? to get it fixed. A new player here in DK costs about 200? so it's a shame but hey - it happens sometimes.

Do you think so?
