Change of firmware

The change of firmware is possible on the meizu miniplayer distributed by Dane-Elec.
The change of firmware allows:

- To unsling volume (limited to 33 because of the European directives)
- To add radio operator FM (and the recording in mp3 of the radio)

Attention however this update is based on an official firmware of English meizu. The menus will be thus in English. There yet to date does not exist of French version of the firmware to use.
Attention, the change of firmware generates a loss of the warranty.

Very updated Avante: it is necessary to check N° of series

The SP after M6 specifies that you have a version SP of frimware (the other version is the TP, which should not REALLY be used)

Procedure:
- To light the reader
- To connect with the PC with the cord usb
- To copy the files of the firmware to the root of the reader.
- To disconnect properly the reader (stopping of peripheral USB) -
To extinguish the reader
- To relight the reader a text “upgrading system” appears. (attention it can be necessary of étiendre and to relight twice)

not to hesitate to read the supports available over the site dane elec before this handling.

More Accessories: PT850 earphones and Kickstand

here two accessories for the meizu
if wish to order accessories, this site is for the moment the only one with my connaisance (with share ebay) which markets accessories for your meizu.
Dane elec should deal with filling this gap in France but they are occupied probably too much by the launching of the meizu for the moment.





Warning bound for the do-it-yourselfers

As I had already indicated, there are two versions of the meizu.
A version SP and a version TP.
The version marketed by Dane Elec in this moment is version SP. I specify in this moment bus Dane Elec does not exclude to market version TP.

This detail with its importance bus if you wish to use your Meizu by Dane Elec with FM, you will have to install a firmware coming from Meizu.

It is necessary to pay attention to installing well the firmware for version SP if not you will be entitled to the syndrome of the white screen.
Moreover, it is not possible to return in arrear to recover the French firmware of Dane elec.
the version of the firmware T is for meizu TP (for toshiba) and the S1 version is for the SP (Samsung). This English version is not available for the French moment.

FM on European Meizu Players?

It's possible?!!!

It would seem that the radio is nevertheless present on Meizu made in Dane Elec after a upgrade with a foreign firmware (approximately original the Meizu firmware).

Indeed, a user on the forum of generationmp3 which found Meizu Dane Elec affirms that radio walk with the firmware dispo on the site of Meizu.

What wants to say that the limitation is simply software and not material as Dane Elec claimed it.
