Hi everyone, first of all sorry for mi english, I'm from Argentina and I'm a bit rusty but I'll try to do my best.
I've finally converted my iRiver T30 (no FM from US V1.02) from MTP to UMS.
Here is what I did:
1.- Download Firmware V1.53 from:
http://www.iriver.com/html/support/d...pSearchString=
(here you will find that there's a specific file for T30 without FM, the file is
"T30_MPURE_V150. zip".
2.- Then you will have to install it manully (don't know why, but this way worked for me).
To install it manually you have to extract the files and copy the one called
T30_MPURE.HEX to the "Data" directory of the Player (I recomend to format the driver so you won't have any problems, do as you like). Then unplug the Player and turn it off, it will automatically start Upgrading the Firmware (during this you must not touch anything).
IMPORTANT: IF IT DOESN'T STARTS UPGRADING ON ITS OWN IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE WRONG FILE, NOTHING WILL HAPPEND TO THE DRIVER, JUST HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE. IF YOU PUT THE WRONG ONE IT WILL STAR NORMALLY.
3.- If you could Upgrade to V1.53 then you have to download the
iriverFirmwareUpdate r from here:
http://www.iriver.com/html/support/d...pSearchString=
4.- Extract the file and execute the file, follow the steps (you must be conected to the web because the program downloads the latest Firmware from there).
5.- Once it´s finished unplug the Player and the Firmware will re-start Upgrading on the Player without you touching anything. Wait until it is done.
6.- Now you can convert your device to UMS with the same program. Conect your player to the PC, execute the iriverFirmwareUpdate r again, and when you can see the option that sais "MTP <-> UMS" clic it and repeat the same process you did previously.
7.- Unplug the device and the Firmware Upgrade will re-start alone in the Player, wait until it is done and DONE, YOU DID IT, YOUR T30 IS UMS.
For those who want to use it in Windows 98, here is how you have to do it:
1.- Download the USM T30 Drivers from:
http://www.iriver.com/html/support/d...pSearchString=
Inside this file you have the drivers for all the T models.
2.- Download this Win98 USB Driver Updater:
http://www.lemnews.com/dl/nusb22e.exe
Mirror:
http://rapidshare.de/files/1217842/nusb22e.exe
Once you download it install it and reboot.
3.- Conect the Player and when Windows asks for the drivers go to the folder where you extracted the T30 UMS drivers, windows will detect the driver and you can acces it from the explorer or my pc.
I hope this work for many people, I spent days looking for a way of coneccting my T30 in Win98.
I believe that the same process can be followed for other models, just change the downloads from T30 to the one you have.
