have talk to yangxi just now, he is helpful still.
suggested that yangxi upload all those related info here, so everyone can refer it directly
no need to call customer 1 by 1 when they having any issue abt the player

QUOTE(freedman @ Apr 21 2010, 02:33 PM)

i din flash the firmware at all since i received the player from u in last week.
it should come with the latest firmware, rite??     

Yangxi, appreciate that if you could provide a better after sale service here.

I have to admit that HDPro is a nice product, but a more user friendly guide is very helpful to newbie.

I have check and comfirm my firmware version is 31-Mar-2010. I din flash with any other version after i have received the player from you. There are no "Yougu" & "Search Video" available in my Web service option. Kindly response. Thanx so much.

yangxi, i think is not good for u to give ur customers this kind of excuses
we can always refer to a.c.ryan forum, but how we sure those info posted in that forum are 100% applicable to ur HDPro??

thanx in advance for that.

i have dowloaded all version of firmware from the mst site, may i know is that ok if i flash each of the version (start from older 1) to my HDPro??
what will be the implication??

March date onward is V3 SDK<---------- mean????

my default is stock firmware, not listed in the MST site.
is that anyway i backup my original firmware??
