Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsHi there! You should try to turn it on (I guess you won't see anything) then press down the "On-Off/Play" and ">>|" buttons for about 10 seconds. That should do a hard reset formating your player, and you should be able to turn it on afterwards. If that doesn't help eighter, there was a driver program which you could install on your computer...
You can find detailed help in the FAQ, for the firmware updater driver: http://www.meizume.com/faq.php?faq=m...aq_dfurecovery

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsIf you installed the wrong skin, just soft-reset your player by pressing and holding the enter button for around 30 seconds, and then turn it on and plug it back into the computer to load the correct skin.
If you inserted a skin not made for that firmware, then the skin (resource.bin file) will stay in the root, and not embedded into the player. Therefore it displays a green/white screen that says "no resource!".Meizu M8 MiniOne

Use the site search for "DFU Tool", you will find information on how to try and recover your player.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsWell, you've firstly tried the hard reset, which didn't work for you, al-fa (the play + >>| button one), so your only choice is the DFU tools, to which you can find a link in my first post that describes its usage pretty well

P.S. Whatever wrong thing you did, however serious is it, calm yourself down! You'll be able to focus and repair it, no worries ^^

if you installed the T instead of P firmware of vice verse no rest or anything will help
your only option is the DFU tools(if you run Vista you probably don't need the DFU tools as Vista will recognize the player as a DFU device automatically and you can just drag and drop the correct firmware onto the player)
about the DFU tools: they are a bit tricky to use and its important that you follow all teh steps exactly as described.
Dont worry about your player... you can fix this with the DFU tools
I have installed the wrong frmware on my player numerous times(dont ask...
) and i have always been able to recover it easily..
