This firmware update, version 3.07 includes lots of new features. There is now album art in the music selection list, including a cover flow styled menu. You can download the new firmware here, after you do that, unzip it, there should be two files, copy them over to the main directory of your P2 and then disconnect it from your PC, you’ll have to restart it a couple times as it updates, but thats all there is to it.

There are some new icons, the ability to zoom in on a video if it wasn’t formatted to the size of the player’s screen, the ability to zoom and rotate on photos, some new text file features. There are some video games that have been added as well, it looks like there are 5 new games.

You now have the ability to record FM radio streams, you can now delete files directly from the device. The custom EQ in the DNSe menu now moves in a slightly different way, meaning you can move them all at once with your finger or raise them all the same amount if you want, there is also a play speed adjustment to slow down or speed up tracks. You can also set various pictures, after you do what little editing you can on the player, as your background or skin.

    as soon as that you go to the site , go to support then to your mp3 then down near the bottom is a tabbed box click firmware tab then d-load the firmware, open the zipped files and drop them into your mp3 main list through windows explorer

    Hello Cody.
    At the german website there is only the first “Bluewave Update” – Firmware version 2.08

    So i have already downloaded and installed them. But i really like the new functions of the latest firmware version, the second “Bluewave Update” called v3.07!
    The problem is that theres still not the latest firmware at the german homepage.

    You don’t must tell me how to install them, i know the procedure.

    But thanks for your answer. If you know the date when the german firmware comes out, please post it.

    Hello. I did not see this little text of wise word all of you were typing. I have downloaded the firmware 3.07 and it works. But there are no games. Do´h.. But if now the warranty of my P2 is long lost, is it possible to make the firmware go to its previous state? I mean to its original firmware? I tried to format it but it still runs with the 3.07 firmware. And there are no update at the swedish samsung site either. Thats why i downloaded it from this site. anyone who knows the date when it arrives to sweden?

    There is a Firmware update that I put on my P2 and it was v5.05 or something in the 5-category. Samsung has switched it’s firmware updates to a different website. It’s a little bit different and there’s new software and stuff like that to download. Hope you’ve used it or seen it! It’s awesome!

    Go to samsung.com and download those updates in order of their number. smallest to biggest (least to most recent). If you do it in order you’ll have more luck with it, even though it may take a little longer. If you can’t find them, then e-mail me at: latasia0hnoel@yahoo.com and I’ll send you the files over e-mail. Then, there are more updates after that. Any questions? Just e-mail me! :]

    I am having the same problem. I just got the 16 gb version of the YP-P2 player and I tried updating the firmware last night and now I get a similar warning to what the user above is getting. I initially downloaded the firmware automatically when the software that came with the player popped up a message that told me there was an update to be made and asked me if I’d like to do so. So that is how I did it and I have no idea how to install the firmware from the site. There is a new version of the firmware in a zip file, but I don’t know where to download the files too. Any help would be fantastic!

    Thanks,

    Hi, it seems I’ve fixed my problem. I found out how to download the firmware to the player. Please see this site for help if you don’t know how to do it: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3552.....are-Manual

    Also, thanks to everyone who posted stuff on this forum. I have downloaded firmware 5.08 to my player and the games and UCI files that go with this version. For the 16 gb YP-P2JEB model , there is a newer version (version 5.10)of the firmware availabe on http://www.samsung.com/ca/supp.....d=03040200

    but I am hesitant to install this. Just thought I’d let you guys know. Also, thanks to the user who said that is is best to install firmwares in order from oldest to newest. I think that was helpful.

    Cheers,
    Sqkz

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the ver5.10 update for my YP-P2JCB 8GB. I turned it on and it updated the firmware and then turned off (as it should do), I did the same thing again (as I’m meant to), and then I turned it on a third time to see if it had all work and it started turning on and then the screen went black. I’ve tried turning it on/off again but nothing works. And it is not recognised by the computer when I plug it into USB.

    Does anyone have an idea as to a solution for this problem??

    Cheers,
    Marcus

    I have the latest P2 JEB/XEU and its the 16GB version. it came pre installed with f/w 5.10.
    Everything works great, games everything. the only nark i have is the bluetooth will not connect to my A2DP car radio. it recognises the laptop, the mobile phones everything apart from the radios.
    so i have to plug it into the radio, which for me defeats the object.
    another annoying thing is every time i turn it on, it starts to do somthing different? why cant it simply go straight to the main menu every time,and sometimes the music skin changes on its own too…. is it me?
