HELP! Just got Player and it died after FW Upgrade

stavrosm

I just got the meizu m6, 2 of them one for me and one for my girlfriend
i upgraded hers first and it worked fine, then i upgraded mine and in the process it turned off like it was supposed to.

i go to turn it on and the M6 is dead...
Computer wont recognize, wont turn on, wont charge, i tried holding the M button for like 2 mins and keeping my finger on the power button at the same time, plugging in right after and nothing. Now when i do this with my girlfriends it works perfect. When this first happened i tried keeping my finger on the m button like some suggested and occasionally after i left go i would hit the power button and it would just flash for a second and thats it
i really dont know what to do now and i was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

GRRR its pissing me off
could it be i just have a defected meizu and i should exchange?

Hello, did you use the same firmware for your gilfriends as yours? Is your girlfriend's player the same model as yours? There are different firmwares for different players. Using a players firmware on a different player will screw it up. It is quite easy to fix. Here are the directions: Search DFU Tools on the forum and download it. Be very careful never to let go of the M and Power button until you unplug your player. Hold Down The M and Power Buttons (DO NOT Let Go). Then plug your player in. It should be recognized as a DFU Device. If you have Vista, just open it up as a drive and put the M6.EBN and Resource.BIN files into the DFU Device. Make absolutly sure that it is the S.xxx.x version of firmware (If your player is the SP version, if not, make sure to use the T.xxx.x firmware), not the T.xxx.x version. Get one from Meizu's website (www.Meizu.en). If you have XP or lower, you have to use DFU Tools. Remember to Never Let Go of the M and Power button (I don't know how many poeple that have done this and ruined their players while running DFU). Make sure you have the M6.EBN file in the root DFU folder. Then open DFU tools. You then press Download and wait. That should have worked. Now un-plug the player and re-plug it. Open it up and drag the resource.bin of the same version firmware, i.e. if you used the S2.003.2 M6.EBN you have to use the S2.003.2 resource. Un-plug it and turn it on. If you are stuck at DFU, try it again. It took me 29 tries with DFU Tools before I fixed my player. I really hope this fixes it. If not, you could send it back to where you bought it for a refund or a replacement. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to PM me.

I tried all that mbarry and it didnt work :[
dfu tools does not recognize it at all
and my girlfriends is the same exact thing
did same exact thing to both
im just going to consider this as being a faulty m6 and contact buy.com for an exchange after i wait for another response or two to see if anything helps
then ill go ahead and take care of exchanging this player

thank you :]

stavrosm

alright for anyone who is reading this i fixed my player somehow ill describe later but it was NOT exactly how i "should" have. i guess my meizu doesn't work with the newest firmware v.3 works but .5 doesnt

stavrosm

NVM it took a shit on me again...i really think this is a faulty product.

the way i fixed it was
i kept my finger on the back arrow for like a minute
then i hit the m button holding it
hit the power button holding it
quickly inserted my usb into the player
THE COMPUTER FINALLY RECOGNIZED
i had to keep my finger on the back arrow for SOME REASON GOD KNOWS WHY
so i did that a million times and got to DFU tools
went to v.3
then i thought oh maybe i could go back to .5
NOPE
doesnt work again
is this faulty?
should i send back?
GRRRR

roryrudy

ur finger on the back arrow was necessary cuz it resets the player. the player is easy to fix. just search and read other forumz. This should start you off.

1. install the dfu tools software.
2. hold down the M and the power button together, dont let it go and plug in the usb cable and the computer will detect it as a Usb Dfu Device.
N.B. DONT LET GO THE M AND THE POWER UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS DONE.
3. U need to install the drivers from the found new hardware.
a. Can Windows connect ________
No not at this time.........click next
b. Install from a list or a specific location
c. Make sure "Include this location in the search" is checked, then click browse
d. go to c:\program files\Meizu\DFU Tools (make sure u click on dfu tools folder). then click ok, then next.
e.Upon verification, click continue anyway then wait for it to done install.
f. U can let go the buttons now.

Read the somewhere else for the rest, my hands are tired. DONT SEND IT BACK. ITS WORKING
