No need to upload your firmware, others can't test it as we don't have this player.
You must do all the testing and modifying yourself!

You need to get the archos 43 vision firmware, open with imaging software and copy ALL your firmware contents to it, save the image and flash it to your player using RK27BatchUpgrade_Image

If you're on linux the hifiman wiki should help:-

If you are on windows then winimage or ultraIso to open the .img.

If you successfully revive you player, then you need to get the build environment setup to create a custom Rockbox build for your player.

Once again i apologize, but I'm not sure what to use as "imaging software". I searched my package manager and did not find much.

cenobyte:
OK so this is how my first and possibly last attempt went. I used mount -o loop to open the .img file. Because of complaints of size, I first deleted all the contents, unmounted and remounted it and then copied all the files I backed up from the Trio player onto the image. Then I unmounted it. As per the Hifiman wiki, I put the .img file in the main 17gb partition and rebooted the device. It powered off but has not come back up since. I think I may have bricked it for good.

@cenobyte
rk27xx devices are virtually unbrickable but it is more involiving to recover from bad flash. I am not experienced with other players than RM970 clones but all share the same rom which provides sort of DFU mode. What PID:VID do you have after connecting your 'bricked' player to PC?

That's where you went wrong, you would have deleted the RK27BOOT.BIN. you need to only copy the original Trio firmware files over, overwriting the files such as BASE.rkw and BMP0.BIN whilst keeping the Archos image directory structure intact. The Archos image should be big enough at 67MB.

I think you will need to hook up to a windows machine and use the updater to force dfu mode and then flash the image, if you still can't get into dfu mode then its time to open the player again and force it into dfu mode as per this thread:- http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,32587.0.html
