Is there a way on linux to make a backup of my mp3players firmware?
on windows they use s1fwx.exe with extract.bat repair.bat
I've tried, dd if=/dev/sdb of=dump.bin ,but it must be copying sdb1 also as it takes >hours

I have a Coby MP826-8G USB MP3 player that when plugged into my Windows XP machine is detected, installs, and lets you drag files into it and then plays them without any problems.
When I plug it into my Ubuntu Linux v10.04 PC (completely different PC) the USB icon on the MP3 player lights up flashes a couple of times, then it starts going into battery charge mode so I know that it is getting a connection to the PC, but when I run LSUSB this is what I get:
landon@Core2Duo:~$ lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

It does not show up in Places - Computer either, although if I plug in my old Phillips 512meg MP3 player it works just fine.
If I run GPARTED it shows both of my SATA hard drives and the SD memory card for my camera that is plugged into the 12-in-1 card reader that is listed above in the LSUSB dump.
I can't my system because of this error: Code: linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin exists in filesystem Note that in the beginning, it asks:

Also, I wonder why so many Arch updates get stuck or broken compared to almost any other distro? Is it poorly designed packages? Is it a design flaw in pacman/the package format?
after installing Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04, I'm experiencing tons and tons of complications with the wireless Internet connection. I have solved most of them. Now I have only one thing left. When I hit the drop-down menu for wireless connections, it says "Wireless connection (Firmware missing)"
I have installed the driver for my wireless card but what is the firmware? I honestly don't know what it is although it's very basic. I have a Broadcom 43xx as my wireless card (specifically 4306). How do I get the firmware for it? Do I find it in Windows? Also I cannot get b43-fwcutter because I have absolutely to Internet connection on Ubuntu. To post this, I'm using Windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with the installation. I've downloaded the live ISO and put it on my USB. Everything appeared fine except for the wireless because it requires non-free firmware. The installation tells me that I can insert a USB device with the firmware on it, so I ran to a different computer to download it off the manufacturer's website and put it on the root of another USB.
However, when the installation tries to detect the firmware on the USB, it fails.
The installation is claiming to look for rt2561.bin. I have placed this in the root of the USB as well as the .zip file it came in and a .bz2 file for manual installation of the firmware. Unfortunately, I cannot install the firmware manually either because the system is missing various commands (make, etc.). I am assuming these would be installed automatically with an internet connection.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 16GB MP4 player bought in China. It's based on the Rockchip RK27 chipset. I would like to access to the firmware through Linux, but I cannot access it. When I connect the MP4 player to my laptop it's correctly mounted, but it seems as it has two partitions but only one is mounted and accessible. The MP4 can be seen mounted as /dev/sdb
Code:
~$ mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[Code]...
I say that it is supposed to have two partitions, because when it's connected under Windows it takes two drive letters (one for the multimedia stuff and the other one it is not accessible either)
And in Linux in the File Explorer I can see what I assume are the two partitions (Rockchip USBDISK SD and Rockchip USBDISK User). But only the one labelled as User is mounted.
