    Recover files from green screened meizu

    My meizu green screened and I had some songs on their that I didn't have backedup. I haven't written anything new to the player yet, so it still green screens when I turn it on. And when I plug it into my computer it just lists the default directories. I've tried quite a few fat32 data recovery programs, but none seem to find any of the deleted files.
    Is there anything else I can try to recover the deleted data?
    Thanks

    Try pressing "Ctrl-Z".

    But seriously, there's really nothing you can do if you've formatted the player.

    You seem to have accidentally formatted the player while it was in your pocket, so sadly, you cannot recover the files. However, you can easily remedy the green screen with a normal firmware update. Make sure you use the correct firmware for your version. i.e. don't use a TP firmware if you have a SP player. Your player version can be found on the back of your player. Hope this helps!
    If you are having trouble with your player, please visit this thread first and try the steps before you panic. Most likely you will be able to fix your player easily using the steps listed.

    Players: Meizu M6 SP 4GB, iPod Touch 4G
    Headphones: SoundMAGIC PL-50s, Auvio In-Ear Armatures, Bose QC-15s.
    Current Audio Congifuration: X-Fi Elite Pro w/LM4562 Mod -> Mission MS-50 + Boston Acoustics Subwoofer

    People seem to be implying that somehow I caused the play to reformat itself. But I'm not quite sure how this could be the case?
    This was the first time getting the green screen for me (besides when it first came in the mail). But my girlfriend has gotten quite a few of them on her M6.

    I always assumed the green screen was some kind of fault with the player...

    You may have pressed some buttons in a combination that caused the player to reformat the player. You should be able to fix the player into a normal state of operation by following this:

    Take the two files that you have just downloaded, most like likely a M6.ebn and a Resource.bin, and drag them into your players drive in My Computer. Safely Remove your player. Restart your player. Your player's screen will flash white, or stay on a steady white.

    Don't worry, your player isn't toast, it just shows that screen. Put your player down and don't touch it for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes your player should have shut off by itself, and you can now restart your player.
