I’m trying to update the firmware. It says add the update file to the root but how do you get into the root file? I put the usb into my computer and it just shows the player no folders except my music folder. So what am I doing wrong?

OpenurlifeI had the earlier version and it had no inbuilt memory if same is the case here then 'root' is root of the sd card i.e., don't put the firmware in any folder.

indi_guyyea I had the old version too but never updated it so I wasn’t sure. So I just drop the file on the sd card? I did that and it did nothing. Was suppose to turn it off and it’s suppose to update but doesn’t seem like it worked. I’m having an issue where it’s not loading all the songs from the card. And supposedly the update fixes that issue.

OpenurlifeWell the download worked but its still only importing 15,000 songs. I read below somewhere the update fixed that issue and 30,000 songs could be added But it’s not working for me.

OpenurlifeJust got mine on the last drop. I loaded about 2500 songs and it freezes and restarts over and over when trying to update the library. Tried updating to the latest fimware and it get a bit further but still can't finish updating the library. Not the best experience so far...

MikeyBoxPthat sucks. I haven’t even had a chance to play around with it. All the songs are on there you just have to go into the folders. I’d just rather have them all pre-loaded.

OpenurlifeDid you figure this out? My understanding was the 30000 limit was resolved through a 3rd party modification of the firmware, and not the official. I believe the same person who is offering the Rockbox install also offers this mod version of hiby.

shikoteeNope still stuck. Can you find a link to that third party site? I’ll have to do some research I pretty much gave up haha

shikoteeI have only 2500 songs on the sd card, and I just get crashes when ever it tries to build library information. I have also tried the custom firmware, which is the version that has rockbox and a customised version of the stock firmware (http://xvtx.ru/rockbox/download.htm) . Unfortunately I get the same issues, the only way I can currently use this player is browsing through the folders. Rockbox works great but you lose some the the features of the device.

Openurlifehttps://www.xtenik.com/latest-firmware-download/ To be clear - I have not used this as I do not yet have a device. Was simply researching prior to buying because the 15000 limit is a deal breaker for me.

MikeyBoxPI think your source is newer than where I was looking. Maybe check out the earlier versions from here. https://www.xtenik.com/latest-firmware-download

shikoteeOk I’ll have to check it out when I get home. I think that’s where I downloaded the update from though. The player is good. I have the older model, then I saw this one and I liked you can see the artwork. You can still get your music off the sd card everything will be there it’s just the loading that’s an issue. I’ve never had any errors.

OpenurlifeMy link and the one you provided looked to be the same firmware but i tried both just to be sure. I had no change, still unable to update the music library without freezing and restarting. However after a lot of searching through a Russian forum I managed to find the modified firmware and boom all my music updated successfully. You can download it here https://dfiles.eu/files/b4d4ckzh7 According to the readme file it has : - English and Russian language strings and GUI offsets was corrected; - Highly optimized graphics, fonts and binaries for maximum speed; - Music Library limit was increased to 30000 songs.

MikeyBoxPI'm unsure why the custom firmware on this site didn't work (http://xvtx.ru/rockbox/download.htm) because it says its the same modified firmware plus rockbox. But the above link worked a treat for me!

OpenurlifeSeems to be working well so far, one bug I found though is that I accidentally hit update again and then I had duplicates in the library. Bit weird but then again I never got the stock firmware to work so this might happen on stock firmware. Never the less I'm glad I got it working.!

MikeyBoxPOk got it working and now have 30,000 songs, but for some reason it picked what to add in stead of just going in order it seems. It went to bands that’s started with T then jumped over U and added only 1 band under V. So weird. Oh well at least now there’s more preloaded songs. Thanks for the help!
