Is there still no official firmware fix to allow the replay of Redbook files at the correct speed?

Unfortunately there is none. Last firmware is 2 years old, they didn't even try to do anything about. I guess xDuoo lost many future customers by showing ignorance to correct a major flaw.

XDuoo knew that the Rockbox firmware took care of that and the lack of gapless play so they just dropped the ball.

XDuoo knews that the Rockbox firmware took care of that and the lack of gapless play so they just dropped the ball.

They stopped updating the Nano too, and that doesn't even have Rockbox.

So per their track record, people should expect 1 MAYBE 2 updates on a new model, and that's it.

Shame, as frankly the X3 as delivered to 99.99% of users (i.e. those who reasonably expect to be able to use it without hacking it irreversibly first) is not fit for purpose. Strong words, admittedly, but we are talking about a DAP which runs at the wrong speed! It’s not as if it has a belt drive!!!

 

[lotech]

I always thought that the X3 could be a class beater and punched way above it's level but Xduoo's lack of support
(even down to ignoring multiple emails) not only held it back but killed any brand fans
(with the exception of maybe Nymphonomaniac?). I bit the bullet and got TheBit Opus#1 and have been very happy with it.
I still use my X3 when walking but have no desire to send more money to Xduoo for current or future products.
And that is a sad commentary on a company that produced what could have been a stellar product.

Why to make any investment in supporting the products as xduoo x3 if you are making completely new products and planing to invest there. We saw new models coming, but with xduoo x3 there was something very successful, I don't know if new models will succeed as x3. For me x3 one of the prettiest looking and good size hi fi player. I even like it's display. Many problems solved rockbox, but myself as many users there wanted to see these problems solved already in their original firmware. For it's simplicity and designing specially for this player i think original it way better than universal rock box. But when it comes customization of sound - rock box truly rock there.,,I have now two x3 one with original and one rockboxed version and till now didnt't decide which one to leave for myself.

Guys, can I charge my X3 with my cellphone charger? What do I need to check before plug the cable?

Yes, you can charge it with any charger which is able to supply 1A.

Hi fellas! I have noticed that lots of people faced the problem of installing Rockbox on new Xduoo x3 players. At the end they get fully bricked device or in best case working rockbox with dead stock firmware without possibility for backup. As we ve already clarified this happens due to new NAND chips that Xduoo is using in new parties of X3 players and modified stock firmware version. So, what is required is to get backup dump of this modified stock firmware version from any new X3 player and then modify accordingly the rockbox installer files.

I have a friend who can do this and make fixed Rockbox and stock firmware for owners of new players for free, but he needs that someone of new owners of new X3 make a dump of the firmware from his player with easy and safe instruction below:

You will need SDcard <=32 gb in Fat32
1.Put two files (update.zip и script.sh) on this sdcard. Here is direct link to get these files.
2. Mount sdcard in slot #1 on player
3. Power on the player
4.Follow in menu to Settings->Update->Yes ( will be no update but only will execute a script from script.sh)
5. Wait a few seconds when backup is done and player restarted automaticaly (in usual mode)
6. Turn off player
7. Unmount sdcard and get from it's root backup file : mtd0.bin-mtd7.bin and send it to me (will notify my email in private chat or just simply upload file here)

Hope for an active help here from you guys who just bought a new Xduoo x3. This is what we all are in need. Thanks.

This would be awesome! THANK YOU and your friend for working on this.

It is actually the 1 reason why I have not ordered a backup X3, nor would order an X3 if/when mine dies. Because 1) it would be the new version and 2) it would have the same problem I have now of a "one way" upgrade.
