Was more than everything a personal task, supported by the big company who sold me the player (one of the 2 big supermarkets of my country).

Upgrade procedure was troublesome, the player get into a "hourglass" status for a day, until I decide to open the player and use the short-circuit/ADFU method.

I did use the bundled upgrade tool which works without problems... firmware provided was a module of 25 MB while previous version was of 19 Mb. After installed, player stay in hourglass status for long time until I decide to reboot. I seems that more time was needed because after restart the layer never leave hourglass status. I leave it so with POWER ON for a couple of hours.

Next day I decide to try ADFU method which work as expected, then I try to install Ainol V800 firmware that didn't work and lock the player, after this I try with the bundled software that didn't work either. Then as a last resource I use other tool called "Mass Storage Tool" who did the work fast and perfect. This time I decide to wait as long as it needed, until finally appears the screens of menus.

Nothing have changed in the player, it still has the screen sort of toon design that you see in my picture above, this firmware doesn't have that blue screen with list functions of yours, instead is has 10 colourful screens, one per each function. It has disappeared Groven logo which demonstrate that is possible to change skins. Beside addition of FLV capabilities I haven't found other differences, except some minor changes in appearance, date now is shown clean instead the strange format of before.

Maybe is a feeling but I notice the player reacting faster and with a sense of more robustness. I have tested how it work with a card and seems to work faster and more safer.

I'll write here if O find out more news features.

terrycong123 -- there is currently no newer version of the firmware available for this player yet but the link below is to the ainol firmware update page, keep checking this and see what happens
Ainol are currently doing lots of work on v2000 player and none others

ainol firmware update page

makd511

can not find it in the downloads section and what upgrade tools did you use, i found some new stuff on MEE electronics web site - completely different to the other actions software.

Well its not that Ainol is only focusing on the V2000 as they don't actually make the firmware, the guys over at ADI are releasing newer firmware for players that use the BF533 chip. I think the reason why you are not finding newer firmware for the this Action chipset player, is because Action has not released any new one. Many Chinese MP4 Makers (even brand name makers) use the generic firmware given by the chip maker and alter just alter the graphics, they unfortunately are not very innovative and rarely utilize the full potential of the chipset.
