There seems to be quite a few new rockchip players now being sold, these can be easily modded, but it is very important to safely backup your firmware folders first, these are located in a 60Mb "hidden partition"
Important! This procedure only works for the new Rockchip RK27xx series players.
Using windows explorer copy the rkusb.tag file to the root of the main memory of your mp4 player.
Disconnect and shutdown the player.
Wait a few seconds.
Reconnect the player to the usb.
Look in windows explorer for a new drive, it is the "hidden firmware partition", it should be only around 60Mb in size with 4 folders in it like this:-
APPDATA
RESOURCE
SYSTEM
SYSTEM00
and maybe a settings file called RKFSWFRC.FRC.
It takes quite a while for the firmware partition to appear so be patient.
Make at least 2 copies of all these 4 folders to your computer and keep them safe, burn an extra copies to a cd or even better upload them to www.mympxplayer.org together with a photo of your player and where you got it from.
DO NOT delete any of these folders from the hidden firmware partition OR format the partition UNTIL you have safely made at least 2 backup copies.
Once you have a safe copy of the firmware folders you can remove rkusb.tag from the root of the main memory of the player to close the firmware partition to keep it safe
IF you have an unbranded player it is VERY important NOT to lose ANY of the firmware folders, you may never be able to replace them!

This works fine once you put it on to view the firmware folders but once i deleted it for some reason the firmware folders are still viewable. I deleted it off my player and then even formated the partition but still i see the SYS USB. Does anyone know how to fix this?
