Just bought a R6B from Penang IT Fair last weekend. It works great but can't display files and folder name in Chinese. Someone asked the same question above but without answer. Is any expert here manage to find the solution?

Thanks dh_loo & FusionTechSupply. I've downloaded the R6B FW from ftp://down:down@220.231.142.130/Firmware/...6B_1.0.1.10.rar, decompress it to an USB drive. It only have "install.img" files in it. Then I follow steps below to upgrade:

1. Plug in the USB drive without turn on media power
2. Press and hold and "Restore" button at the side of the media player
3. Power on until the screen shows waiting for upgrade and release the "Restore" button
4. Wait for the upgrade process completed
5. Wait for it to auto restart

From here onwards it only shows the black screen with "egreat" word for 2 minutes and the process keeps on repeating without get into the main menu screen

Have I miss out any steps?

Me too had tried all three but no success. Is there any way to revert it back to the stage when I bought it? At least I still can watch movie with it. Now totally can't be use at all. Only see the black screen with word "egreat".

Experience the same thing like allauLowyat but the good news is I can use it now than keep on hanging on black screen.

Another problem is the "File Manager" doesn't display a single thing even I can view content in "Movie", "Music" & "Photo". Also changing the default setting for "Movie" pointing to specific folder also didn't seems to work.

Anyway great help from FusionTechSupply. Thumbs up for you. wink.gif

Hi, I am new to this and just got the R6B. It will not see my external USB drives. I tried five of them. I'm at a loss as to what to do and right now the unit is just a pretty looking brick.

Firmware is 1.0.1.17

Is there some kind of secret to getting the eGreat to see the USB drive so I can watch my movies? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

msp1518,

Try to use the firmware posted by FusionTradeSupply on 17 Feb. It works for me.
Good luck

Are there any instructions on how to actually go about doing the update? I don't want to turn my unit into a brick.

For R6B users, are your menu's kind of pinkish? When you play your files, does that pinkish color ever NOT go away?

Hi msp1518,

Download the latest firmware from FusionTechSupply post I've mentioned earlier, decompress it to an USB drive. It only have "install.img" files in it. Then I follow steps below to upgrade:

1. Plug in the USB drive without turn on media power
2. Press and hold and "Restore" button at the side of the media player
3. Power on until the screen shows waiting for upgrade and release the "Restore" button
4. Wait for the upgrade process completed
5. Wait for it to auto restart

After the "upgrade" your menu shouldn't be pinkish anymore. Good luck
