I went through all of the steps, edited the images a bit and successfully created the new BIN file, but then later found out that it wouldn't let me install the firmware because I already had the same version. Is there any way around that, or any way to downgrade the firmware back to 1.0.2 or whatever version was before the newest?

The way to do this is to edit the "firmup.ini" file. Its extracted when you run the firmup.exe
Just change the "check Version" to like "1.05"

i have followed every step in the guide and it still doesnt work.. when i boot my mrobe the pic doesnt appear to be changed... the only thing that is different between the pics i want and the ones that the mrobe have are 1) color 2)size (mine are way smaller).... everything else is the same (pixels,etc)

btw i found this error

reading input file : B5002-BD.dec
extracting image number 219

file "mrb5_fw_up.py", line 160 in Getimage

I did everything and now have the N5002-BD-NEW.

What exactly do I do with this?

g33k - try downloading the latest version. in my side it works fine.

Basket Case - use the original uploader, but replace their N5002-BD.BIN with yours.

mAzcoRe - how did you modify your jpg file ? it is supposed to be 640x480 after the modification.

mAzcoRe, this exact same thing happaned to me. I used Paintshop CS and never changed the size of the image. If you figure it out, then please post the solution!

just an idea:
i realy don't know if this helps...
maybe photoshop or paintshop changes the resolution. i mean this value which is in pixel/inch or pixel/cm not the size of the pictures.
my m:robe got troubles with some coverarts (which had the correct size pixel x pixel

) and the misstake was having the wrong resolution. pretty unbelivebal but true

What is the original uploader?

Do you mean the firmware updater?
How do I add it to that?
