Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

So you say that I actually have the Windows Media Player 0, because my Zen is being recognised..
I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste
ps.
Open the firmware file,On the player format>cleanup>choose reload firmware, then connect & run the firmware file.

  • Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution wo

    I have a Zen Vision 30GB (not a Zen Vision M or W, just a Zen Vision). On Friday I was trying to add songs to my Zen and halfway through adding the songs I got an error on the computer saying "player not connected". So I undocked the player, turned it off and reset my computer. Saturday morning I turned on my Zen to try to add songs again and I got the error message on my Zen?"Firmware Problem" and it put me in "Recovery Mode". The first thing I did was try to reload the firmware, but when I plugged the Zen to the computer it says "docked", but I cannot move through the menu. When I unhook it from the computer I can move through the menu. BTW I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have uninstalled the Zen software and installed the software off the Creative website for Vista, but when I try to run the firmware it says "Player not connected, please connect player."? When I plug the player in via USB my computer recognizes it and prompts me if I want to sync my player, so there isn't anything wrong with my USB connection. The?Device Manager recognizes it however Windows Media Player does not. I get the same error message when I try to do the Recovery Tool on the Creative website. I have looked for solutions on the forums and just doing Google searches, but I have not been able to get anything to work. Please help me!? The player is less than a year old. I have never had any problems with it before, never been dropped or anything like that, so i am not sure what is going on. Any help or suggestions would be great!? I sent an email to customer support yesterday and the reply I received this morning was no help. First they thought I had the Zen Vision M, even though I specifically said I had the Zen Vision and gave them the serial number and everything. I sent them back a message today and hopefully they can help, but it is frustrating having to send an email and wait around for a reply.

    Re: Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution works\ I recently had this problem with a player i got off Ebay. What I did was format>cleanup>reboot the device thru the recovery screen on the the player. Problem solved . Be advised this will erase all the files (music ect.) http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

  • MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one.  If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
    You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
    The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

  • What is the deal with this thing?

    My computer no longer recognizes my ipod mini, won't charge it, or anything. It isn't responding to anything. I have tried resetting it so many times. All it does is show the "Do not disconnect." screen, and the backlight turns on when I press a button on the click wheel. My computer does not acknowledge that the ipod is connected to it at all, so I just diconnected it. However, the screen still says the same thing! I cannot find anyway to get some help off the Apple site. There are e-mail addresses or anything, which is completely annoying. My ipod mini is 13 months old and cost way too much money for this to be happening. Is it lost for good? What is the deal with this thing? Seriously, please help.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Zen Vision:M - firmware problem

    Hello!
    I'm having some trouble with my Zen Vison:M 30 GB (I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2). After resetting the player I got the message "Firmware problem". The player displays this message until the battery is empty and if I reset the player once again it takes approximately 5 minutes "rebuilding libraries"(at least that's what I think it's called in English)?and then the "Firmware problem" is back.
    Well, then I downloaded the MP3 recovery tool from Creative. After recharging the battery the recovery tool recognizes my Zen, downloads the firmware and... tells me that the player is not longer connected (it is actually).
    Does anyone know how I can update my firmware or reboot the player? Any help would?be appreciated!!

    It would be best to update the firmware on the XP computer. If you have WMP on the Xp computer you will need to rollack to WMP0 for the firmware file to see the player & update it.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer Emailing Creative will? tell you to come here & you already are hereMessage Edited by coachop94 on 07-20-2009 03:29 AM

  • Creative Zen Vision M firmware problems

    I have a brand new zen vision M that has some firmware issues. it essentially has no firmware on it, and when i connect it to the computer it only has 50mb of space. I'm running windows XP service pack 2

  • How can i deal with this problem

    For example, In my database, there are three records:
    field : a b c
    a.txt c:/a.txt adsfs
    b.txt c:/b.txt asdfsf
    c.txt c:/c.txt asfdsf
    Now I open one file b.txt to check the database whether have the same filename,filepath, hash value.
    the results display:
    The file: b.txt has not been registered
    The file: c://b.txt appears OK
    The file: b.txt has not been registered
    I want to do is to only shows the results of 'The file: c://b.txt appears OK'. I know the problem is the body of while(rs.next).
    is there any best way to conform to my demand
    try{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    String url="jdbc:odbc:MD5";
    Connection connection=DriverManager.getConnection(url);
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    String sql="SELECT * FROM MD5";
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
    while (rs.next()) {
    if (file.getName().equals(rs.getString("a")))
      if (file.getPath().equals(rs.getString("b")))
      if (m.equals(rs.getString("c")))
        jTextArea2.append("The file: " + file.getPath() +"appears OK"+"\n");
    else jTextArea2.append("The file: " + file.getPath() +"has been modified"+"\n");
    else jTextArea2.append("The Path for the" + file.getName() +"has been modified"+"\n");
    else jTextArea2.append("The file: " + file.getName() +"has not been registered"+"\n");
    rs.close();
    connection.close();
    }

    Why not add a WHERE clause to your statment to filter records having the name of the file in the first record. In this case you'd better use PreparedStatement and set the file name as statement parameter
    Because now you loop through the entire table for a thing you can deal with at DB level.
    And I agree with the others' remarks about those braces ;)

    That could be because the method doesn't exist. Or because the signature is wrong. Or because it is private and it needs to be public. Or because it is not part of "detail" but is part of something else.
