Dead! M6 is DEAD

It wasn't working for about a week and when it started working again it said 'No Resource...Please upgrade again' so I upgraded the new firmware last night and it was working just fine for that time. But this morning, it wouldn't even turn on. When I press play/power, it just flashes but no 'Loading...' like it always did before it stopped working.

so what can I do? I really don't want to use the DFU tools yet and The hard reset seems a bit much.

HELP PLEASE!

When you charge the player ... do you see anything (the battery symbol) on the display?

No, nothing. It's like it's completely gone.

i had the same problem ... read this topic ...
problem with my m6 .. please help !

it fixed my meizu !

Don't worry ~~you could just put the resource.bin and M6.bin file into the M6

If it doesn't work . Read the notes or do this ress and hold 'FF (>>)' and 'Power' buttons together for 8 seconds, to initialize OS to factory original settings.

Even doesn' work. Then DFU only

GOD BLESS YOU~~~

DFU tools rocks!,, it saved my player for over 4 times!!! just try DFU tools i suggest.

still not working?

hold the fastforward button for 20 seconds and simply push the charger in straight afterwards

Funny story, I lost my usb cord so I couldn't do anything for weeks. But alas, I have found one lying around! Back in action.


Okay, I tried the FF>> button for the 20 seconds, and the hold 'FF (>>)' and 'Power' buttons together for 8 seconds but nothing excluding the little light flash. So I guess it's DFU Tools then. However, my player doesn't show up at all on the computer. And how do you use DFU Tools?

You use DFU tools by reading the FAQ and or searching for the dozens of threads on the subject.

I tried it and obliviously I'm doing something wrong because when I get to the installation part, where it says to 'specify which location' I want it to search, and I click 'Browse' and 'Desktop' (where I put the DFU tool RAR file) it won't let me click 'Okay' or it doesn't recognize it as a driver.

Is the RAR file supposed to have folders in it (because it can't open on anything, just keeps asking me to save) or to be in a different format or something?

The RAR file is supposed to be extracted using WinRAR, which you can find a 40-day fully functional evaluation version of here: WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files.

(I should've kept playing that game instead of coming here and answering questions that could easily be answered via google)

after u extract the files from the rar file. then u install the dfu program. now when asked to specify location, go to c: \program files\meizu\dfu tools (directory where the dfu tools is installed). that should install it

Wow, thanks! I'm gonna try it! And I'm glad Th3 didn't keep playing that game, he has the link! And thanks Roryrudy!

Hey, don't mention it. But next time google first before you post questions. I do and it saves me a lot of hassle.

thats cool. i just want you to get it working. cuz i was going through the same thing also, altho i search the forum which helped me alot but if i can help, i definitely will. trust me, almost everything has been answered already in this forum about dfu tools. just search.
dfu tools will definitely solve it

if u seem stuck somewhere, u can ask here, i will be willing to help but remember, search first.

Good Luck

Alright, I got everything done, did everything right, so why does it say 'Failed to verify the firmware'? I checked around, and don't see much on that.

Should I change the firmware?

failed to verify the firmware where? elaborate

That's what it says when the dfu server says when I press 'Download'. But anyway, I tried to replace the new firmware with the older version like other posts have said, but the same thing is happening. Do I just keep doing it until it works?

u should not place the resource.bin file in the directory. its the m6.ebn u should put in the directory (c: \program files\meizu\dfu tools)

Guys,

I have been reading multiple forums here and still i am stuck. I have extracted the resource.bin and M6.EBN files in the same folder as the DFU tools. After connecting the player to the pc and being recognized I am getting to the step where I go to the folder where the DFU is, but can't go any further because the OK button is inactive. Initially i had the folder in documents, then I created it in program files/meizu, but still the same results. I tried it on 2 different XP computers(Vista doesn't seem to go the same way), and I am dead at the same point. I don't know if the DFU tools are not good(is there a different one, the one I have is downloaded from this forum). the files were extracted repeatedly to make sure the unzipping worked, so don't know what to make of it.

Any subtleties or suggestions would be appreciated.
