I downloaded the file and tried to install it on my M3, but after 2 or 3 seconds, I got a message "Error" (and the dying Android-Robot). Downloaded it again, same issue. Nevertheless, I am able to install any other former Firmware-version (1.0.7 / 1.0.8), be it a custom one or not. Is it possible that the file uploaded is damaged somehow?

Thanks and best regards,

The download is deinfitely OK. Other customers have installed it without problem.

Where did you get the M3 from?

Our firmware packages are slightly different to those you might find on other sites for HiMedia products. With our you need to extract the 'update.zip' file from the archive directly onto the USB flash drive. There is no renaming.

I bought it here in Germany at myhdplayer.de

So when I get it right, I have to unzip it and not rename it to "update.zip"? I am asking for I did rename your file to "update.zip" and put this file on the USB-stick...well, that could be the error, I guess...

Our download is a zip archive containing the update.zip file. This needs to be extracted to the USB flash drive. No renaming!

Lot's of people have had this problem because other sites are allowing direct download of update.zip.

The reason we do it this way is it prevents a corrupt download of update.zip from bricking a player (update.zip would not extract if it was corrupt).
