where do you read that? i don't find the web page i think i read this advice yet but i really want to test the teclast firmware even if i will not be able to use s flo firmware after

yes i read it the player is good and have so much feature but i have to wait a update it's frsutrating because the firmware is VERY buggy

I do not understand how the Teclast firmware can brick the 8GB player?

We now know that we can access the hidden partition by simply placing a file in the root so if it did produce bad results you can simply go to the hidden partition, remove all the files and place the 1.05 firmware there to recover the player.

The Teclast firmware is is almost perfect, I believe it has sorted out all the autopilot stuff and the only bug remaining is the music sorting.

I know that I did mention that the player sometimes skips into the record screen but I think that is down to the way I was holding it, i.e my fingers were wrapped round that side and possibly just covering the icon during start up as you have to hold it slightly firmer when holding the switch over to start it.

if my player is bricked it will be impossible to turn it on and put on it the 1.05 or 1.07 firmware so i will wait the admin is a serious person he said that the two firmware are the same except for the tts mine is less buggy now maybe because i know how to use it so i don't want to brik or take the risk to brik my player i just received it yesterday
edit:the firmware is still buggy you can use the player without bugs or freeze it's very annoying
@colt:
build quality is quite but i prefer the meizu built
the menu and touch feature is look like the ipod touch but not so smooth
i can't tell you about the battery life because because i don't use it all the day
maybe i will do some pic of the player and a short review in french if i have the time

@adamL
Yes, a short review would be nice!
But i think i read much enough now to say that i wont
buy one at the moment, because of all the problems and bugs!
I will wait an see if they can handle all these problems with further FWs.
