    sounds like a case for "dfu tools". use forum search for "dfu"

    Using all possible restraint so as not to include any words that may reflect on your intelligence installing firmware files in the reverse order is possibly not your best moment but I am not going to even ask why?

    If your player is not detected by your PC then do a search for "DFU Tool" to find information on the recovery process. Also do a search for 1.009 or 1.010 and use one of these firmware versions with the DFU Tool as newer versions may not work properly.

    If as your user name "el_mac0" may suggest you have a mac you will have to find a PC you can use for recovery.

    I suggest that you read all in formation on the DFU Tool usage before starting and fully understand the process e.g keeping the required buttons pressed throughout the whole process etc.

    If you are able to recover your player then read the Firmware Update Guide in FAQ section before trying to upgrade again.

    First of all I'm sorry to hear what happened to your player. Use DFU Tools, but be very careful never to let go of the M and Power button until you unplug your player). Hold Down The M and Power Buttons (DO NOT Let Go). Then plug your player in. It should be recognized as a DFU Device. If you have Vista, just open it up as a drive and put the M6.EBN and Resource.BIN files into the DFU Device. Make absolutly sure that it is the S.xxx.x version of firmware, not the T.xxx.x version. That might have been why yours is screwed up. Get one from Meizu's website (www.Meizu.en). If you have XP or lower, you have to useDFu Tools. Remember to Never Let Go of the M and Power button!! Make sure you have the M6.EBN file in the root DFU folder. Then open DFU tools. You then press Download and wait. That should have worked. Now un-plug the player and re-plug it. Open it up and drag the resource.bin of the same version firmware, i.e. if you used the S2.003.2 M6.EBN you have to use the S2.003.2 resource. Un-plug it and turn it on. If you are stuck at DFU, try it again. It took me 29 tries with DFU Tools before I fixed my player when I made the same mistake. I really hope this fixes it. If not, you could send it back to where you bought it for a refund or a replacement. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to PM me.
    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.

    dude just put both files (M6.EBN and resource.bin) in the root folder

    after that the screen will go green saying there's no resource file

    plug in the player again and copy the resource.bin only

    and you are done, if it's not working maybe you're using wrong version (SP,TP,SL)

    you have sth to pay attention.
    1.The 'hold' is unlocked.
    2.Everytime before plugging it to the PC,you should reset the player(Press power button for at least 15 sec),and then press M and power ,then connect it to the PC

    But i want know if your computer recognizes it as a 'DFU device'?
    If yes,but cannot proceed anyway,you can 'low format' your M6(Press power and backward for 10sec or more)
