oh, can you tell us what version of the m6 he got? becouse the firmware is different for tp/sp/sl i hope sp, becouse i think most of us(including me) have that.
but i think (and hope) once 1 of them is working the others will follow shortly after.

here is this .asm disassembeled file RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
we need just to read that code and we need to identefy all the parts in the assebly code where the hardware is accessed and than we can try to figure out how all the separate parts work

Perhaps this page can help.
Addresses of ARM and Thumb labels
I couldn't understand any subroutine of the disassembled file because I can't use asm language. I can program in C, even Java, but ASM is incredibly hard for me.

this news is really good, since we will have to wait a long time for the m8 we might as well enjoy our m6 for now!

when I read more about rockbox, I found that it only supports mpeg1/2 yet. So by no means it could replace the Meizu firmware in the current state of development, even with gapless playback and no stutter issues. rockbox would just be a toy to play around with.
This is because rockbox began as fw replacement for mp3 players, not video players. future versions might feature better video support, though.

Wouldn't it be better to post the IDB file for those of us with IDA?

I just tried the free version of IDA Pro. It opens the .bin file and some english words are visible, which means it works.
Next step may be a minimum change of an english word and then try to install the manipulated FW. That will show whether there is a checksum.

Maybe it's possible to mix both FW (Meizu and Rockbox) into a perfect one. If the developer(s) got some assembler knowledge, then I guess it's realistic.

you tell us you see english text in the file,
is it not so that the resource.bin contains the text (and images)?
if we use rockbox we will not need resource.bin anymore i guess, but maybe there is some information in there that might be usefull also, since it does affect the players boot procedure when placed onto...(am i right?)
