but, I can't access to it with Windows because it is not detected.
I think that the MP3 player is between the UMS mode and the MTP mode. Because the MTP firmware has begun to install (so the file system of the memory may be in the file system of the MTP protocol), but the protocol itself hasn't been installed, because I have to put again the firmware files on the player .... but I can't access to it on Windows. Of course, I'm reasonning as if the reverse process works like the "changing process" (to pass to UMS mode), which consists of : (It is only some suppositions) - Put the UMS firmware so the player change its (kind of) file system - The player is detected on Windows as a simple usb key, but it has to be formatted. - We put again the UMS firmware files so the player finishes the installation of the UMS protocol itself. I'm wondering if there would be a keys combinations or another way to reset the player with the initial firmware ...

I heard you might be able to access it via linux...dunno if it helps. You might be able to drag in the firmware if you have access to a linux box.
If all else fails, try using your warranty...I think it's for 1 year.

I have Ubuntu installed on my computer but I'm not an expert. I've already tried to mount my player but it seems it is not detected. Do you know how I can mount it ? ( I don't know the type of the file system and which name of device I have to use in the command ).

Hi,
I could find any solution ... So I have sent it to samsung. It seems that the warrantly covers this problem. Someone in this topic has said that he reverted his player to MTP but he doesn't answer ... I f*** MS with his MTP protocol .... UMS Powaaa !

mtp is a bullsh*t solution for audio-transfer..DRM was not made 2 curb piracy..but 2 actually sell music locked mp3 devices so no one would change loyalties in the future..but the reason the screen goes white is because of a curruption in the firmware update...instead of downloading the firmware off samsung.com..got to samsung.co.uk...samsung.com has a curropt firmware..i had the same white screen of death..Please readers do not download firmwares from SAMSUNG.COM

data folder
Hey guys,
I have an issue with my k5, had it for 5 months and i have to reset it all the time. Sometimes it just wont even turn on, so i have to reset it to turn it on, i assume its probably an issue with the firmware or maybe its crapped itself when i got it. Anyways, i downloaded the 1.05 firmware and i open the k5 up on my comp and i have no data folder ? So my question is do i just chuck the firmware files into the root, or do i creat a data folder and chuck them in there ? included a picture to show you what i mean.

I just dont want to brick my k5 if its not the way to do it.
Im a little confused with it, everything i have read says there should already be a data folder there :/ Perhaps ill wait for confirmation if anyone else has done it like this. Edit. LOL i phoned samsung tech support, they basically told me that they don't like home users doing their own firmware updates, i said so why do you put firmwares on your sites then ? "samsung:thats for users that encounter bugs" "me: i have a bug, i have to reset my k5 all the time, cant you tell me just whether i have to make the data folder so i can upgrade it by myself ?" "samsung: no we cant tell you that, you have to send it to our service center and they will do it for you there." "me: yer thanks." They also said that the firmware updates for the k5 never have anything else in them no extra functions or displays etc, just bug fixes.

This firmware is a dream come true! with half my stuff untagged, I HAVE to rely on folder/filename sorting, and this is totally what I needed! Thank you!
I got the white screen error when i put the files in the DATA directory, but i couldn't put the files in the root. BUT- when i plugged the device back on the PC, it was now given a drive letter- where now i could right-click and reformat the device completely to a blank box. I put the firmware files in again and unplugged, and everything was successful. Last edited by Cammiluna; 04-03-2007 at 05:38 PM.

Most electronic manufactures who provide firmware updates don't have a problem with customers upgrading their firmware, as long as you following their instructions.
