U6 Firmware 1.09

[lebellium]

Hey,
Not sure there are many U6 users here but there is a new firmware for you

Download firmware 1.09 (you can also download it in attachment)

Improvements
-Fix noise when you insert earphones
-Fix the issue with large album art files
-USB devices to the buffer at "Fully charged" so that the modified text representation (? google translation)

How to upgrade firmware: Download the firmware, extract the archive, put the YP-U6.ROM file at the root of your player (the root is where all main folders are: music, video, system, pictures etc...), disconnect the player. Turn it on, it will automatically upgrade the firmware. You can check the firmware version in settings>system>about.

I was not able to reinstall the firmware from v1.05 to 1.09, after removing the player starts the installation process and the player is turned off, but after the launch and view information about the system there is still says that the current firmware version 1.05. Called the help desk, they said that did not know what it is, perhaps version 1.09 posted in the official site, ill: (I'm in shock ...

Hum...
Try this download link instead:

O'K. I'll try of course, but not sure what will happen since I downloaded it on the proposed link you to the Korean site and download it from the Russian site SAMSUNG, the results are identical ...I apologize for my clumsy English, but I do not speak - I use a translator Google O_O

Thanks a lot! Everything turned out, visually, in principle, nothing has changed, but I am very glad that there was a crisis and the new firmware into place. Once again, thanks for the help))

You're welcome

I guess they uploaded the wrong file and they reuploaded fw 1.09 today.

That's normal there is no visible improvement, only some minor bugs are fixed

I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH FIRMWARE 1.09!!! THE START MENU IS ALWAYS IN FRENCH, NO MATTER WHAT I DO IN THE LANGUAGE SETTINGS. HOW CAN I RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? CAN I DOWNGRADE THE FIRMWARE? PLEASE, I NEED HELP......

[lebellium]

What do you mean by "start menu"? The home/main menu?
I don't have a U6 yet but it may be like on the Q3: the main menu is in French in FR region code.
Check your region code in settings ("paramètres" in French)>system>about.
If it is written 1.09 FR, then put this file at the root of your U6 (where all main folders are: music, playlists, system etc...)

PS: please don't write in capital letter

Thank you very much for your help. Yes, I meant the main menu...

I'll try it later. Hope it works...

I had the same issue with the player showing the main menu in French even when I selected English language for the menus in the device settings. The main menu is the one with some graphics for each option and you can select between Music/FM Radio/Fitness/Voice Rec/My files/Settings. I checked from the System/About the version and it was VER 1.09 FR-XY-ABC. I cannot remember what those XY-ABC were.

I then tried to update the firmware with the rom that was on Samsung UK page. The updating went fine, but that did not change the version to anything else.. it was still a FR.

Next I tried that config.dat file. What happened is that it reseted all the settings, and changed the language to Korean. Now the System/About shows the version as VER 1.09 KR-00-JK3. This Korean version has the main menu in English, and I can change the other menus to English also. What's bad is that now I lost the radio RDS settings and it disabled RDS, and I also lost the USB mode menu.

Any idea what the config.dat file should contain to really change the device to European region? Now it seemed like the config file reset the device to some default configuration which seems to be Korean.

Edit: I bought mine from Pixmania and it is not specified there which region the player is.

Hi,
The screensaver will only show up once the display turns off. So it depends on display off time you set.
Moreover screensavers only display intermittently so wait a few seconds and you'll see it

Hello,

Thank you for that, it worked like a charm. I was afraid that maybe I got a bad player.

Cheers.

Hello,
First of all, thank you lebellium for your review and your tip on how to change the area. It helped me deciding to buy the player and have a decent volume.
Regarding the previous post, i did not understand how you display the screen saver?
I did the firmware upgrade and placed the EU zone config.dat.
I checked that "about" indicates EU.
I saved the clock as screen saver and set the display off time to 15 sec.
When I wait 15 sec, the screen does turn off, but no screen saver ever comes up. The screen is always dark.
How come?

thanks for any insight!

PS : does someone know also if it is possible to hack the player into decreasing the volume of the turn on/turn off melody?
Because it's always louder than my music files, and when i turn off the player it is really annoying...

[lebellium]

Well you put display off time to 15s but what did you put for the screen saver time?

I may be possible to hack it (see all what has been done on the YP-R0) but we miss someone to hack it lol
