Tried to install it. The infamous  black screen. Recovery mode not working, lights off. PC  is not recognizing the device. Only sounds when I disconnect. Is there any way to obtain the firmware for reinstall ?

Is the screen staying completely black on boot ? Did it ever boot rockbox once ? It might mean the battery is simply low and you should plug it to your computer and wait. Recovery mode will not trigger if battery is too low, you have to wait. To reinstall the OF, follow the same procedure as in http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZENPort but upload this file https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypnsjbw5rnxxi99/ZENXFI_PCFW_L22_1_04_08e_rk.bin?dl=0 instead with sendfirm.

Thank you for all your help. Yes, it is staying completely black and it never boot to rockbox. I leave it charging all night and now it shows on windows as an unspecified device  ROM Recovey. So far no reaction from the player.  Ill try to install the OF. Again many thanks for your answer!

Oh wow, you might be the first person I know to reach recovery without disconnecting the battery. In this case using the sendfirm tool won't work. Here is the procedure in this case:
  • download https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ls80q3zcxgiwam/sb_loader.exe?dl=0
  • download https://www.dropbox.com/s/3yv71p8ft9j24qh/ZENXFI_PCFW_L22_1_04_08e_rk_FRESC?dl=0
Then open a command line prompt in the folder where you downloaded both files and type:
Code: [Select]
sb_loader -f ZENXFI_PCFW_L22_1_04_08e_rk_FRESCHopefully you player you light up and either display recovery mode or some charging icon, just wait for it to charge before doing anything, then reboot.

Ok my mistake, the tool I linked to is from Freescale and only support STMP3780, the ZEN is based on STMP3700... So your only option at the moment is to either grab a linux computer and use our tool (which works), or wait: i'm in the process of porting it to Windows, I hope to have a working version today to help you recover from this situation.

Okay, I finished the tool in a hurry, I only tested it on Windows XP on my fuze+ so really I cannot assure you it will work for you but here it is. Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6l15i67zz0b3r7/sbloader.exe?dl=0 and run in a command prompt (note the lack of "-f" compared to the previous command):
Code: [Select]
sbloader.exe ZENXFI_PCFW_L22_1_04_08e_rk_FRESCAnd please copy/paste the output, even in case of success, for reference.
If you are interested in seeing the code, it's there and it's ugly for now: http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1042/

Ah right, Creative uses a diferent VID:PID. Here is a new version of the program to catch this particular device: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6l15i67zz0b3r7/sbloader.exe?dl=0

Just to be clear: you erased the firmware of the device ? Maybe try to restore the OF using sendfirm and the procedure I described earlier ?
