770C-8718_v1.02 for the original 770C link download please
Sorry about the delay in my response. OK, to get started with this process... I assume you have been to the Xuelin website (i-hifi.com) and you have downloaded the 2 folders you need: 1) Upgrade tools and tutorials download (ihifiupimg.rar), 2) Old 770 firmware update (for the 770) or Old 770C firmware update (for the 770C). I also assume that you have opened up the Upgrade tools and tutorials folder and downloaded the drivers to your computer (if you didn't already have them to begin with). I use a PC with Windows 7 and the remainder of the process is pretty simple once you have done it a time or two. So, once you feel you are ready to upgrade the firmware, open up the "Upgrade tools" folder again and select "RK27Upgrade_I...exe) which should then extract to and open on your computer screen. The images on the Image tool are not in English on this version, but I can talk you thru the process nevertheless. First, identify the dialog box in the lower left corner of the image box. Then plug your 770 into your usb port; the message in the lower left dialog box should change and will now contain a message that reads something like "...RK27 MSC...". Once you see this message, then look towards the upper 1/3 of the image box and you will see a small box that has the number 80 in it. Now, just to the right of the number box, you will see a row of 4 buttons; you will click on the 2nd button just to the right of the number 80 box. This is the "switch" button. The message in the left lower dialog box will now change to something that contains "...RK27 Loader..." Now, just under the row of the 4 buttons, you will see another small dialog box that has the word "Image" on its left side. Go to the Right side of this same dialog box and click on the button with "..." in it. This will open a widow where you will select the 770 or 770C upgrade firmware. Select the firmware upgrade file and press "open". The firmware img will then appear in the Image dialog box. After this happens, then go back to the row with the 4 buttons, and click on the 1st box to the right of the number box (which now contains "688135"). This is the Upgrade button. After you press the Upgrade button, you should start to see message lines appear in the large box that fills the bottom half of the Image. Once the upgrade process is completed, your 770 will turn off, but then reboot. After the firmware has been upgraded on your 770, the language on the player will be in Chinese. If you want to change the language to English or something else, then go to the Settings menu. Open Settings and choose/select the 7th line, this will let you change the language on the player. I have performed the upgrade process twice today on my 770 and have had no difficulties. Let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck.
So, did you go back to 2.02 due to the "more powerful sound in HO B"? If so, I certainly grok. As far as I am concerned, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", as none of the upgrade features are that meaningful to me. But, if they ever come up with the elusive "rockbox'd 770", I'll probably be all over that!
Well, the sound from HO B was missed and the new firmware really does not seem to handle FLAC any better (and may be worse...). so I saw no reason to stay with the updated versions...

Gotcha. You know, the thing that bugs me the most about xuelin is that they haven't recognized you as being the xeulin ambassador for the western hemisphere. The least they could do is answer the jdog anointed one's emails. Kinda really bugs me lol!
Try this and see if it works; this is the original firmware for the 770C; http://www.shenzhenaudio-show.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/ihifi770c.zip . If this does not work for you, please PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send along a copy. Good luck.
lol so true. cheers jdog for keeping up with the rest of usGotcha.

curious as to how the synergy adds to your rha.Pissed or not pissed about missing the new one by such a small margin and having to use an adapter for my phones, the pairing is phenomenal. The RHA-MA750i just loooves that neutral output of the 770C. The completely black background of the player is also such a wonderful thing for nighttime listening.
Hi guys. I was wondering if somebody else experiences the same issues with I-HiFi 770 after having upgraded to the latest firmware. It seems to me that the new firmware holds less of the battery charge - after playing FLAC files for about 7 hours - 7 hours and a half all the juice is gone. Quite far away from the advertised 13 hours. Most of the times I use the provided cable to charge my player, usually connecting it to a 5V Nexus charger. Other times I use a Microsoft phone cable and charger - they fit into the IHiFi. Am I doing something wrong?
