Got my X20 about a month ago, it came with v1.05 firmware (Settings->Advanced->System Info). Since I couldn't find anything about v1.05 on the net and the player had some minor quirks (database update and transfer button missing in iriver plus 3, also some artist and album duplication in database even after I re-tagged and replaced the files) I decide to reinstall the firmware using the firmware updater (MSC mode because the software wouldn't let me do it in MTP mode and instructed me to change to MSC mode) it said your firmware is 1.05 current firmware is 1.04. After the reinstall i disconnected and switched on my player it said 'firmware update' then 'update ok' then powered off. Powered it up again and it keept looping at 'initialising' , pulled the battery out to stop it. Since the player was just over 7 days old I decided to have it replaced by iriver here in Australia. The replacement took 3 weeks and the player they sent me had the same firmware (v.1.05) and same quirks as the previous one. So I decided to do reinstall again, you guessed it the same thing happened as the first one(initalising). So I decide to get a replacement from the place I bought it from (JB Hi-Fi, and after some complaining I managed to get a replacement. This time the firmware is v1.04 but the quirks still remain as the previous 2 players. I am to scared to do any upgrades as the last two failed. I think the quality control on these players shipped to Australia was non-existent. I am thinking of getting my money back as I have had three players so far.
