    Welcome to the forums. You do know that you do not use DFU Tools to install firmware right? DFU Tools is a last resort option to save your player if say you upgraded your M3 firmware using Firmware for the M6. To upgrade the firmware, just grab the M3.ebn, and resource.bin from en.meizu.com's download section, plug your player in, put both the files into your player's drive in My Computer, and reboot your player. There should be a white screen for about 5 mins, so don't think your players bricked. Just leave it alone for that amount of time. Enjoy your player.
    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

    hey, i find myself with the same problem as thoemda... my meizu is refusing to communicate with my computer (os x 10.4). although it sees my files in browser mode, it will not play a song (just says "Please Select Music For Playing" constantly) and when i plug it in while on it just freezes and has to be hard shut down. it'll charge properly if i plug it in while it's off... i'm thinking of trying to let it die and see what happens. i was looking for a master reset (as i can't connect to upgrade the firmware, even disk utility won't see it, tried both usb modes) but i didn't see anything about it in the manual.

    thanks in advance for any help
