2.004.6 Official Release SP\TP\SL

Ok, I just thought I missed something

omg! my M6 is dead!!!
after i tryed grading up from 2004.3 to 2004.6 a never-ending lightning (on off on off on off etc.) appeared on the screen.
i dont know how but i could make it stop... now the screen was black like its turned off. i tryed to restart it but it did not work! i cannot start up my M6! is this the end of one of the greatest multi media player in the world?!!!!

The only thing I can add is that because I was coming from the older fimware the player formatted itself when I upgraded to the not final 2004.6. Also if it matters I got my M6 from NewEgg, it is the Dane-Elec version. My daughter has one I got her for Christams and I liked it so much I had to get one for me. I have not upgraded hers since I got it. I believe hers is at 2004.3.

Your player is not dead. that happened to me once and i nearly gave up but thanks to dfu tools, u can easily revive it. Do you realize from reading that player cannot die from a firmware problem, it seems to me it has to die physically. I wish you all the best. If you add me as a contact in msn then maybe i can help you.

Good Luck

N.B. Its not dead

zOMG my M6 SL stutters after the upgrade . Is there a way to downgrade or to fix this??

Just paste old m6.EBN file and resource.bin files like you would in a normal upgrade - upgrade and downgrade same procedures.

I've got M6 SP 8 GB, and I installed that one, which is in the first post.
And I've the USB issue...

Finally the 2.004.6 (TP/SP) firmware has been released on the English website of Meizu today: MEIZU MP3 PLAYER

Downloaded, put it on there, rescued with DFU Tools, started, done. :D

And 'lo and behold: the USB mode choice is back!

Stil says (C)2003-2007 in the About, btw. Thought this was 2008.

I also got one of these Meizu Miniplayers, and i wants to update/upgrade it. But i dont know if its TP\SP\SL. How do i find out what it is?

It's written on the back of your player.

do we have to 'rescue' the player with dfu tools when we upgrade this time or will they fix that?

tgranados, I never had to use DFU tools...and I always upgrade to the latest fw. Many users don't read the instructions properly and thus "bricking" their player. It's not Meizu's fault.

hi everyone , i'm trying to update my firmware , but i never can find the M6.ebn file , all what i get when i download the new firmeware is the resource.bin file !!
Also , what is the DFU !! i read this alot but i can't understand what is it , it's just a name and no one talks about it !
thankx

Are you sure you're downloading the actual firmware, not just a skin? It's not the same! DFU Tools is for recovering a dead player, when nothing else seems to be able to fix it (soft reset, hard reset...). You can read about it in the FAQ, or search for 'DFU' in the forums.

Hey, I resent that! I've been upgrading ever since I got my M6 in April last year or so and only recently have I had to use the DFU tools. The first time, I upgraded from the 'unofficially released' 2.004.6 to the officially released 2.004.6 (coming from 2.004.5). Same as always, but I had to 'DFU it'. Second time, I 'upgraded' from the first 2.004.6 version to the official English one. Both times I was using a modified resource before the upgrade, though I can't imagine that has anything to do it.

I think Updating is one of the only flaws with the M6. It's just unpredictable.

Thanks for your answer "nice2know_u" ,and yes , i'm sure i download the firmware . i did it twice , once from the meizu websit and once from MeizuMe , in both cases it was the same file , just "resource.bin" and never "M6.ebn".Would you be nice and give me a link to download what you are sure it's the right file , i would be thankful .
Thanks again.

All of the rar files in the first post are containing the M6.EBN file.

Why there is only up to 3.99 APE support? 4.01 requires better cpu or something? I have a lot of music encoded in Monkey's Audio 4.01. Is it planned to be fixed?
