Zen Nano PLus dead after firmware upd

I wanted to update the firmware of my Zen Nano PLus, so I got the correct file off the creative site. I connected my mp3-player and executed the firmware update file. Everything went as it should do. It brought up a pop-up window of windows asking to search for new Hardware. I accidently closed it. Then the whole firmware updating process stopped. I closed the window of the updating process and tried to restart the firmware update file. I didn't work because the player wasn't even found by the computer. The bad thing about it is, that I cant do anything with my player since the computer cant even talk to it. I cant turn my player on/off: it is pretty much dead. No connection to computer status diagram appears, nothing. I tried the rescue tool of creti've, it didn't find the player either.
Any Ideas what can help?

removed battery, pressed Start, connected USB, found as damaged, firmware update, works fine!!!

  • Zen Nano Plus - Dead after 20 minu

    Just received my player this morning. Connected and transferred a couple of albums via windows explorer. Disconnected and had a listen, sound was ok. Reconnected to add some more music. Paste operation froze windows explorer, safely remove hardware button did nothing and the only option was a hard reset. Now player wont switch on at all, not even a logo screen and pc doesn't recognize it so cannot reflash the firmware. Most disappointing.

    Thanks for the tips shellshock. I spent quite some time yesterday trying to bring the player back to life to no avail, so its now winging its way back to Amazon.
    Basically it went something like:
    : 8am. Grab parcel from postman and unwrap excitedly
    2: Plug player into spare usb port, my 64 bit OS recognised it straight away as a 'Zen Nano Plus' so no additional driver install necessary which is just as well because there doesn't seem to be one for 64 bit versions of Windows
    3: Open windows explorer and copy two folders across to player as with any UMS device (Supertramp and Erik Satie no less)
    4: Unplug player, have a listen for a few minutes and farmiliarise with the menu operations and manual
    5: Reconnect player to PC, which again recognizes it correctly
    6: Attempt to copy and paste a further folder of mp3's to the player using windows explorer at which point onimously the hourglass mouse cursor indicates work in progress without any sign of a progress bar appearing to indicate files in transit (the player does however display a data transfer in progress animation
    7: After a couple of minutes ctl-alt-del clearly indicates windows explorer (and hence the data transfer operation) have stopped responding (my pc it should be noted has a respectable spec, was built last summer is not crash prone for no reason)
    8: Bollocks says I, this is not quite going to plan. Forcing the process closed via task manager and attempting to use the 'safely remove hardware' function in the system tray locks the computer up totally forcing a hard reset
    9: The Nano in the meantime has stopped displaying the data transfer animation so I unplug it from the PC and power it down thinking 'oh well, hardware is known to crash occassionally, i'll need to recopy the files after a reboot no doubt'. Hah, I should be so lucky.
    0: Nano now refuses to start full stop. Not even a logo. Removing and replacing batteries minutes later as recommended has no effect, holding down the power button for over a minute has no effect, different batteries have no effect
    : The PC now seems to think the dead Nano is a 'STMP3500' (i'm guessing this is the chipset used by the player) and furthermore wants drivers to match. Downloading latest drivers from Creative is useless as they are only 32 bit and will not work with Windows XP 64bit, so the PC is now having none of the dead Nano
    2: Attemping to activate the emergency reset by attaching the Nano to a USB port (various ports tried) whilst holding down the power button for 20 seconds or so (several times) proves futile as all my PC now wants is drivers for a goddam 'STMP3500'!
    3: Latest firmware from Creative does run ok but totally fails to find the player
    4: 3pm. Player is unceremoniously re-wrapped with curses into its packaging and marched to the post office for despatch to Amazon's returns department for a refund
    My guess is that the failed data transfer managed to wipe or corrupt the player firmware. I'm sure all computer users are used to system crashes now and again, but they certainly wouldn't expect to have to buy new hardware each time it happened. Creative R&D department should maybe revisit the way the Nano's OS is written and protected.
    After all that i'm still searching for a decent mp3 player but can find none to match the spec of the Nano at the price. Reviews of cheaper alternati'ves indicate poor battery life and questionable sound quality. Iri'ver T30 doesn't support UMS so thats a no go.
    All in all a pretty negati've experience. Perhaps I was just unlucky, maybe once the refund comes through I might even give the Nano another shot, especially as the price has just dropped again by about 3 quid on Amazon......

  • Zen Xtra - Totally Dead After Firmware Upd

    Following a failed attempt to upgrade the firmware on my Zen Xtra 60gb, I have now spent many happy hours this weekend reading about the problems we are all having with this issue.
    What happened to me was that I tried to upgrade under Vista but ended up with only the recovery mode. I tried to recover the firmware using a clean XP build and Media Player 0. During this update all went well until the final reboot, where the machine stopped and the update crashed.
    The machine has not booted since this.
    I have no recovery mode, reset doesn't work (with or without the battery), the PC doesn't detect the Zen Xtra and if you try to charge it there is no 'charging' indicator.
    It is totally dead.
    Has anyone recover their machine from this state?
    I emailed the help desk who responded with -
    "However, my sincere apologies as the warranty for your unit appears to
    be over by now and there would not be any out of warranty
    repair/replacements available for your unit.
    May I suggest that you purchase a new unit, instead of having your unit
    replaced/repaired at a cost (if available), as this would be a more
    economical option"
    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

  • 1 GB Zen Nano Plus DEAD since I tried to update firmw

    My gb NANO PLUS was working fine but would only show track names and not artists, albums, track numbers and I wanted to show those.
    I have Dell laptop Inspiron 600m, Win XP - plenty of memory ( gb) and HD and no prior problems. Before, when I plugged my NANO into USB, it always showed up. I'd
    always click "Safely Remove Hardware" to disconnect. I'd bought same unit for wife & daughter and they've worked fine.
    I assumed the no "artist/album" info problem was from my loading music from Windows Explorer or MusicMatch and not from Creative desktop unit - or firmware.
    So I go to Creative Download site and find these exe files:CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2 (the desktop player, etc), MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250 (driver) and
    ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03 (firmware.
    Desktop player loaded fine. Not sure about driver but I followed instuctions.
    However, when it came to firmware, I followed instructions but now NANO acts DEAD. Screen on NANO is blank, it doesn't show up on Dell as USB devise or in Devise Manager (anywhere). I've changed battery and followed all FAQ advise. No help. The Creative download site instructions didn't say to format NANO so I didn't but later I see that one of the FAQs says to do that.
    HOW DO I GET THE NANO WORKING AGAIN. And, when I do, how do I show track title, artist, album, track #, etc?

    HOW DO I GET THE NANO WORKING AGAIN.
    Try to reflash the firmware in recovery mode (see instructions on the firmware details page). Ignore the display, mine froze/turned off during a failed downgrade attempt, but the player still could be put into recovery mode and after the reflash it started working again.
    And, when I do, how do I show track title, artist, album, track #, etc?
    The player will only show the "Title" tag (or the filename if there aren't any ID3 tags). So the only way I can think of would be retagging the files, sticking the information you want into the title field.

  • Creative Zen V Plus Dead after char

    I put my Creative Zen V Plus and charged it on my laptop. I forgot my laptop has a standby option after 30 minutes and I put it in, went to sleep... woke up 6hours later, and my mp3 player was dead. I tried turning in on by holding the button for extended periods of time, I tried plugging it in?my desktop computer which had the drivers also.... I've tried reseting it.. but nothing works. Is there anything left to do or should I send back?

    The player battery might be depleted so connect it to the computer and charge it for a longer period of time. Also, while connected, try pressing the Reset button/hole by the side of the player.

  • Zen Nano Plus: How to resolve issues with installing firmware 1.14

    So .... I managed to kill my Zen Nano Plus when installing firmware version .4.03, but fortunately I've managed to bring it back to life again. :-)
    Here's what I did wrong, and how you can avoid the mistakes that I made ...
    I attempted to install the newly released "Creative ZEN Nano Plus Firmware .4.03" from my Windows 2000 system. However, I had not previously installed the "Creative Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250". In fact there seemed to be no reason to install these mass storage drivers as the Nano Plus player was always recognized by my system. However, while installing the firmware upgrade, it seems that the player is set to recovery mode and therefore the mass storage driver needs to be installed prior to upgrading the firmware.
    I realized this partway through the firmware upgrade when prompted for the "StMp3Rec.sys" driver. I then successfully installed the mass storage driver then attempted to continue with the firmware upgrade. Unfortunately, the firmware software "froze" and the process had to be killed. My Nano Plus player now wouldn't turn on and my system would not recognize it. I then read how to set the player in recovery mode, and was able to see the player listed as "STMP3500" when examining my attached USB hardware (using the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" dialog).
    To install the driver, I then looked at all hardware in my "Device Manager" (right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", choose the "Hardware" tab, click on the "Device Manager" button) then selected the "STMP3500" device. Right clicking and selecting "Properties" (or double clicking) brings up the properties dialog and from there I chose the "Reinstall Driver" button. I specified the driver location: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Creative Mass Storage Drivers\StMp3Rec.sys" and the driver then successfully installed. Finally, I successfully installed the firmware upgrade and all is now working well.
    Here's the bottom line:
    Be sure to install the "Creative Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250" prior to upgrading to the "Creative ZEN Nano Plus Firmware .4.03".
    Maybe it is because I beta tested six or seven different Rio MP3 player models (until D&M Holdings discontinued the Rio brand), or because I have worked as a software developer for eight years - but I tend not to install any software that does not appear to be required. The Creative firmware upgrade software could be greatly improved by including a simple check to see if the Creative mass storage drivers are installed before accessing the player.

    This has been answered many times here. Delete a few files on the player. Create a few folders on the player. Move the songs on the player into the folders. Now add more songs to the player into the folders. There is a limit on how many items the player will allow in the root.

  • Creative Zen Nano Plus Firmware Problem, AGAIN! (PeeBee HEL

    Hi all,
    I am new here and have read all the posts and FAQ's but couldn't solve my problem. Actually there is a post http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=68923#M07024 which tells exactly my problem. Have tried the solution but didn't solve it.
    So I am here asking again.
    I bought a zen nano plus GB and downloaded the latest firmware(ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__0_03.exe) and the latest mass storage driver (MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250.exe). When I put the player in recovery mode as the firmware is detecting devices the player takes it self out of recovery mode and back in mass storage mode how do i stop it from down that?
    I am trying to update it because my player doesn't play wma files :angry:I have tried PeeBee's solution but it didn't work. I have taken the battery out, reconnected it and it is recognized in recovery mode. I run the firmware and the computer plays a sound, the icon of connection appears in the nano's lcd and it is out of recovery mode. Then firmware program tells me that the 'device state is not set' and after that the message 'put into recovery mode before updating firmware' Aaaaaarrrrrghhhh!
    I'm also running windows XP SP2
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance

    Hello-
    I had a similar situation develop. Did your error message say, "Media state not initialized?" Here is what the creative support site says:
    If you receive a message "Media State is not initialized ..." while updating firmware for a MuVo or Zen Nano Plus player, it will be necessary to install the Player Recovery Device driver and then update the firmware.
    . Download the latest driver if you have not done so. You can download it from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads, and file name is MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250.exe.
    2. Install the latest driver by double clicking on the file name.
    3. Unplug the player from a computer if it is plugged.
    4. Remove the battery from the player (except Zen Zeeon which has a built-in battery).
    5. Press and hold the Play button while connecting the player to the USB port.
    6. Continue to hold the Play button for about 0 seconds after connecting your player is connected to the USB port.
    7. Keep on holding the Play button till Windows displays the Find New Hardware dialog box.
    8. If this is the first time a player is installed as Player Recovery Device, Windows will find a Player Recovery Device (or USB Device), and prompt you for drivers. Click on No, and select "Do not search. I will choose the driver to install". Windows will install the drivers automatically.
    9. Double click on the latest firmware upgrade file that you have downloaded previously, and follow the instructions on the screen.
    0. Format the player if you are prompted to do so.
    It is recommended that you stop your player properly before physically disconnect it from your PC.
    To stop your player in Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows ME
    Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Taskbar, click Safely remove USB mass Storage device, and disconnect your play when you are prompted to do so.
    To stop your player in Windows 98SE
    Make sure that the icon below appears on the LCD screen again for at least fi've seconds before disconnecting your player.
    Now, I did all of the above and still got the error. What solved the problem finally was to connect (using the above method - remove the battery - hold the switch, etc) to a DIFFERENT USB port. Then all worked well, and the firmware transferred. Don't ask me how or why.
    Good luck.

  • Zen Nano PLUS - Firmware Broke My Ze

    Please help me .
    I have read through countless threads here looking for the answer on what to do when...
    ...your Zen Nano Plus is passed warranty, you install the latest firmware, and your player is no longer readable by your USB ports.
    Before I tried upgrading the firmware it would detect it as what it was -- a Zen Nano Plus. Now, however, I plug it in and I <EM>don't even get a notification that Windows detects it even so much as a generic device</EM>.
    Everyone says: <EM>Revert back to an older version of firmware.</EM>
    Question: HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH THIS WHEN ) I CAN'T TURN MY PLAYER ON AND 2) IT IS NOT BEING READ WHEN I PLUG IT IN?
    Sorry about the caps, but I feel Creative is about to let me down after all these years. Did I waste money on this thing or is there an actual solution that works?
    My friend's dad had this exact same problem. He took it back and exchanged it for another Zen Nano Plus <EM>and it did the same thing agan</EM>.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS - Thanks to Creative for being acti've in these forums and trying to help their customers who have given Creative their hard earned money that they earned working at a job.

    IT WORKED!!
    PeeBee you are the man for your post in this thread:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=279272#M6263
    All this is Creative's doing, though, for their lackluster support for their own product. In one thread they specifically say <EM>Zen Nano Plus has no recovery mode</EM>. Why does it take non-Creative staff such as yourself to call them out and help with these issues? My friend's dad had to take time out of his day to dri've back to Best Buy to exchange it (TWICE). If only Creative would administer care in their own product support then threads centered around Creative's MP3 players being beat down by their own firmware wouldn't have over a thousand thread views each by people looking for retribution for a piece of junk they think they wasted their money on.
    Thank you, PeeBee. I, on the other hand, am investing in Apple next time due to lost faith, faith that has been religiously stood by since the beginning days of Dr. Sbaitso. If this thread gets deleted rather than replied to by a mod, admin, or Creative staff member then it means I'm right.

  • Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

    Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
    I eventually got it by doing this:
    While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
    Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
    So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
    So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
    And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
    I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.

  • Zen Nano Plus WON'T START / RECOVERY / RES

    Hello ZNP friends and fellow victims of frustration,
    I have the GB Zen Nano Plus and a Windows XP operating system. My Zen is just over 3 months old, and a few days ago I started having the "stuck on Logo or hour glass (building library) problem". Like many of you, it has frustrated me beyond belief in my attempts to correct it. I'm certainly not a computer whiz, but I'm fairly good at following clear, numbered, valid instructions. I have tried many of the offered cures for this problem as provided in the discussion forum. None have worked for me.
    I have just stumbled onto/into the fix for the WON'T START / RECOVERY / RESCUE problem. At least, I hope it lasts. The bad news is that I don't know or remember the steps for the cure. The good news is that the problem can be fixed. In the frustration of trying a million variations on the steps offered in the discussion area, I happened to fix my nano plus. I was becoming like a hyper zealot playing a slot machine.
    What I do remember is this:
    ) I did download the application ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF___0 and install it, and put an icon on my desktop so I could activate it easily.
    2) I did double click it to call it up.
    3) I attached my nano plus via USB to the computer. I don't remember if I had to do that before or after bringing up the above application. (You may have to try both.)
    4) I did leave the battery out of the nano plus during this operation.
    5) I was required to reformat the nano plus which eliminated anything on it. When the instruction came on to reformat, it said "... area" so I was worried that the reformat might include more than the device itself but it didn't.
    6) Then I loaded a song, disconnected the device from the computer, put in a battery, and it started fine.
    What a task that whole process was! Of course I'm not telling you anything new. I was tempted to just get on with life, but then I thought I should really share this with those of you who have been in the trenches...to let you know that a cure is possible.
    Creative should really have a clear set of instructions by now for fixing this problem.
    Good luck!

    Have you updated the firmware? this could be the major cause. Also, MP3 has far fewer kinks as a uni'versal format than WMA. If possible, I highly suggest using MP3 on MP3 players.
