Thanks to a person here in the forum, i've received a version of DFU TOOL that works with S5L8700A02 Samsung ARM9 chip mounted on M6SL. This version appears to be more complicated than the precedent ones, with much more options, and it's made to work with any device wich has this chip. So i have spent my sunday afternoon trying to understand how this version of DFU TOOL works, and how to make it compatible with M6SL. And finally i think i've reached the goal.

I've tested the result two times on my M6SL using Win XP SP2, loading first 2.004.4 and then 2.004.5 firmware with DFU TOOL, and in both cases was a success.
But i have used my M6SL as a tester, because it was working perfectly before using the recovery program, so i don't know if this procedure works also on a broken M6SL. Anyway i'm not responsible of its use.

(Update: as you can see in the following posts, this method works also on a broken M6SL)

This version of DFU TOOL seems to be much more stable than the precedent for SP or TP (no need to try many times before it works). I don't know if it's Vista compatible.

Here how it works:

1. Extract the zip file to desktop.
2. Copy 'M6SL.EBN' to the extracted folder.
3. Power off M6SL. Hold down the 'M' button, then press and hold down 'Play' button. Continue to hold down these two buttons simultaneously while connect the player to the pc with the usb cable. Windows will detect your player as a DFU device. Now you can stop to keep pressed the buttons.
4. Windows New Hardware Wizard appears asking you if you want to install automatically or using a specific location (advanced). Select the advanced option, and put :
C:\(path to the extracted folder)\Driver
Windows must now recognise your M6SL as "Blues USB DFU"
5. Open DFU Manager. Be sure that there is only one device: "Device 1 = S5L8700 Rev.2". If not so, you have connected the M6SL to an usb hub. Disconnect or power off other usb devices connected to your pc like printer, ecc. You should get a screen like the one below that i have posted.
6. Press 'Download'. (Unlike from the previous version of the program, no anymore need to keep pressed any buttons on the M6)
7. When the 'Download' and 'Abort' buttons become gray, wait 1 or 2 minutes to be sure, then physically remove the usb cable from your PC. Perform a hard reset (Press and hold both "Play" + "|<<" buttons). After that, if a green screen appears saying 'No Resource! Please Upgrade Resource Again!', don't turn off the M6SL but reconnect it to PC →→ Copy correct resource.bin inside the M6SL →→ Unplug the usb cable from your pc →→ Power off M6SL →→ Power on
8. If the resource fail to install press and hold "Play" + ">>|" buttons and format the player, then try installing the resource.bin again.

If you want to try, let me know if it works





NOTES:

Some people tell me that the procedures to perform a hard/soft reset and to format the player are different from a M6SP or TP version. For a M6SL, follow these istructions:

- To Format the Player: Power off the player. Press and hold down first "Play" and then ">>|" buttons. Keep pressed the two buttons simultaneously until a yellow screen appears.

- To Perform a Hard Reset: Power off the player. Press and hold down first "Play" and then "|<<" buttons. Keep pressed the two buttons simultaneously until a purple screen appears.

- To Perform a Soft Reset: Power off the player. Press and hold down the "Play" button for about 20-30 seconds until, after a black screen, "loading" reappears on the display.

It's an utility that permit you to recover your player after it is broken due to a software problem like freezing, error while upgrading software, ecc.

Excuse the ignorance, but what does this tool do? In laymens terms

For example, if your pc has a software problem due to a virus, (doesn't boot anymore, ecc), you can choose to reinstall the operating system.

This program does the same thing: if your player stops working due to a software problem, (like error during software upgrade, ecc) using dfu tool you will be able to reinstall the firmware (if the traditional method doesn't works anymore) and to recover the player.

So if you have a problem, you must reinstall the firmware. If the traditional method for upgrading the firmware doesn't works anymore because your pc doesn't recognize your M6 while it's connected, you can use this tool to make it working again. This is the final solution to all the software problems that you can have

thanks so so so so so much.

Hey I did all this and 95% of the steps worked. It (DFU tools) recognised my player, I downloaded the drivers (then my computer could finally recognise the player thank god), then I double clicked the exe file and pressed download (the screenie looked EXACTLY the same as the one you put up). It downloads, both download and abort go opaque again like you said. I waited 2 minutes then disconnected the USB, then held down |<< and play. But no purple screen. No green screen came up again (like it did when all this started) saying no resource. I tried >>| and play and then finally just play. None of the 3 did anything. I do get a white flash some of the time, and my computer is recognising the player (though its not showing up in my computer, however it is showing up in devices, through control panel). I held these buttons for 2 minutes (much longer then the 10 seconds that was said) and still nothing.

Any ideas?

mwahahaha its ok it worked!!. Thanks everyone here!

Wait until the "download" button becomes gray, then after 1 or 2 minutes phisically remove the usb cable from your player. After that, to perform a hard reset you must press and hold both "Play" + "|<<" buttons until a purple screen appears. I'm sure it works!
