Answer:
Go to the iRiver site and download the most current firmware. Save it to your desktop or some other easy to fine place. Depending on which site you down load from this file may be in a hex format or may be a zip file. If a zip file unzip saving it to your desktop.
If you use IMM firmware open the IMM and follow the firmware upgrade icons and proceedures shown there.
If you have UMS installed use this:
Plug in your if to your computer, and copy the .hex file to the root folder of the ihp, eg the first one that is shown when you double-click on the drive in "My Computer".
Now, disconnect the if from your computer and make sure you have a fresh battery installed in case your existing battery is low.
Go into the menu. It's in the first sub-menu, the very last option is for performing the firmware upgrade. Make sure the 'yes' box is ticked, and exit the menu, the firmware upgrade screen will now be displayed, do not touch the player until the firmware upgrade is complete.
When the upgrade is completed, the player will switch itself off. Now all you do is switch it on, and you should see the version of the new firmware on the startup screen.
You can safely delete the .hex file from the ifp now.
enjoy the music,
