How to unzip a .bin file for Meizu Miniplayer filmware

[Aashwin Shankar]

So I have a Meizu Miniplayer Sl version and when I turn it on it says "No Resource" on a green screen. I looked into it and it said to download the firmware and unzip it then to unzip the resource.bin file inside of the firmware file and download that to the player. But I can't figure out how to unzip the resource.bin.Can anyone tell me how to? Also can anyone tell me if i'm doing anything wrong with the firmware part. Thanks for any answers.

To flash a device with a new firmware it normally only comes zipped once.
When you have unzipped it to a folder inside of it you should see the file name with the .bin extension.

All you do then if you also had to download the firmware flashing software.
Is run the firmware software.
It will ask you to select the the file name with the .bin extension.

Attach the device to your computer if it uses a usb connection

Then click flash device, or start ect in the firmware software flashing tool.

If the device is CD or DVD based, you are required to burn the file name with the .bin extension to a record-able cd or dvd disk.

You then insert it into the cd/dvd player device and it will program the new firmware update to your device, if a dvd player or dvd player that can play divx or mp4 video files.

Sorry I don't exactly understand what your saying. I unzipped the firmware with a program I got online. The firmware had two items and I was suppose to use the recourse.bin one then open it then download it to the player that shows up as a removable disk. Also can you reword what you said in simpler terms. Btw I use windows 10 if that helps.

Recorse was the usb driver for the device, so it could be detected in windows.
Installed in windows or the device. may show up as a USB mass storage device, or model number of player.

next.
1.Connect player or usb device to computer if you have not done so, via usb cable.

2.Run software program provided to perform flash, run in windows.

3. Select file xxx.bin from software run in windows, option should be there to select or load a file with a .bin file extension.

4. Click on the start,update, or flash device option in the firmware flashing software run in windows.

5. will begin to program new firmware file to device.

Sorry for more questions. When I try to open the resource.bin (double click on it) it says There is no program associated with the type of file you are trying to open. Also what is this flash you talk about?
