OK I really don't understand any thing on the FAQ...So please help me...

OK, I read and read the FAQ but I just don't understand it!!!

I had the "no resource" problem...So I added the resouce (bin) and M6SL.ebn (Yes I have the SL version)

Plugged it out, started it, and viola...Now it's worse!!! When I turn it on it says "Loading" flash a green screen for a second and then all I see is a white square and black around it...I can turn it off and all, I've tried every kind of reset and such...

I want to use the DFU tool but when I it to the PC, the PC just won't find the mini player hardware...
Any ideas???

soraky · 04-14-2008

Got to go to sleep >_<
umm: No, I can't hear the click sounds.
Yes, I've tried every kind of reset.
Yes, it DOES say loading first of all.
No, I can't see the battery charging symbol (Although the miniplayer was fully charged I'm sure)

I really hope to find the answer when I'll wake up...Thanks in advance!

You probably used the DFU tools wrong.

Hold the miniplayer, pressing the play and menu button at the same time. Keep them pressed during the ENTIRE process. Connect to your USB cable. Start DFU tools, complete the DFU tool process, disconnect and only then let go of the buttons.

Your situation with the green flashy shizzle is solvable with this, I'm sure.

First be sure that the version of resource.bin matchs the correct version of the firmware. Maybe the file you have downloaded could be corrupted, so downloading it again. If you have a green screen with the "no resource" problem, simply copy again only the resource.bin file into your player.
If the player doesn't work again, use the correct version of DFU Tools for M6SL: Found Working Dfu Tool For M6sl

OK, I've done as you told me to but now, when I conect the USB no matter what I do ("Ask me later..." or "Update (Some thing some thing)...) nothing happens...
Can any one explain me how to do that on windows Vista?

Edit: Well I just tried again and it asked for the MiniPlyaer CD...So I got the CD inside and then, still, nothing... My PC just won't recognize the MiniPlayer T_T...I miss my music!

passero · 04-15-2008

I don't understand what you have done...

To use DFU Tools simply follow the instructions i have posted. When windows asks you to install the driver, follow instruction number 4. I'm sure it works, but i don't have tested this procedure under vista. You can try on another pc running win xp, maybe ask to a friend.

If your player works but it's not recognised by your pc, it's a common problem of vista with usb devices, not of your player. Search here a solution: USB Drive Problems with Vista - TechNet Forums

On Vista, you don't need DFU tools, cuz it has an integrated DFU server. Soraky, please check if your operating system identifies your M6 as Meizu M6 or DFU Device?

If it shows M6: it has a working firmware on it (m6sl.ebn) and probably is missing resources (resource.bin), so copy that to the root and restart. Be sure the resource.bin is from the same version firmware package the m6sl.ebn that runs on your player is from.
If it shows DFU device: then the firmware is mussed up on your player. In this case, you should I think copy over the latest m6sl.ebn and resource.bin from the latest firmware package to the root directory of the device.

If your player can't be detected in any way, please try out other USB cable(s) and try plugging the player into other USB ports. Try plugging it into USB ports directly connected to your computer's motherboard. (On the back of your computer case.) And before all of these of course, try passero's suggestion.

If all of the above fails, try a Windows XP computer, install the DFU tools for the M6SL (look for the thread found working dfu tools for sl) and usage directions in the same thread.
If all of these fails, I don't have any more ideas.

OK thanks a lot all but it still does not work!!!
I've did everything on the list (8 steps...)

But still, the same gray square after a blinking green screen
(They say that when you do a hard reset you should see a purple screen...I don't get that either...(Yes I'm 100% sure I got the M6SL))

soraky · 04-26-2008

Hope some one knows what to do next...
I got the DFU tools to actually detect my M6SL!!!
Cheers!!!
T_T
But now... When I press "Download" I get this massage: "ERROR: Failed to get device status!"
Any one knows what to do it will work?...

soraky · 04-30-2008

Never mind, got it to work :D HORRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all

Hendrik · 04-30-2008

Could you please describe what you did? So the next one with this issue can try your way to solve the problem.

soraky · 05-05-2008

Sure:
The computer I tried ti install the DFU tools on already had is own way to open 'blues DFU' so I've just deleted the driver and installed the one from the DFU folder.

That was one idiotic mistake

What is it supposed to be then? I've got the same error ("ERROR: Failed to get device status!", while I installed the correct drivers, I think.

Screenshot of my device manager:

Screenshot of the folder, containing the driver files:

But still I get this error:

I know, I've got Vista, but I did the compability-thingie, so it should work now. Right? This sucks.
