bought this mp3 player few years ago for few bucks from china, and since it's no-name brand there's no firmware updates. i've been searching on google how to extract firmware, so i could try and make some changes to it, mostly to see if i can do it.
i tried s1fwx, but it didn't find my device (i know it's made for s1 mp3 players, but i tried anyway)
does the player have to be in ADFU mode in order to access firmware files on it?
marking on chip are STA801 MQKW344.2
any advice?
i also tried to put the device in recovery mode by short circuiting the 2 pins, result was the language was set to chinese when i powered it up
anyone?

open the unit and see if there are any jtag headers or a debug bridge. I know you can dump firmware via the jtag and development/debug bridge if it has one exposed

did that, how do they look like?
on circuit board there's only the 16 pin chip (besides card reader, usb and earphone jack)

UUUUH INSTALL GENTOO ON IT xdddddd
is simply short circuiting the board enough to send the device to recovery mode? will the windows detect it automaticly or do i have to install ADFU driver?

5 mins in microwave should reset the flux capacitor.
