I have the x3.fw unzipped in the Theme-DIY-Tools folder along with the batchfiles and packing tool, etc.

I have unpacked it and fixed what I wanted.

Now I am trying to pack it again so I can reload it onto the X3.

I have edited pack.bat to change all the x5 to x3 so it reads:  packtools --pack -i x3 -ox3.fw -m x3

I renamed the x3.fw file I started with to x3old.fw

But when I right-click and Run pack.bat, the command window flashes, but I don't get a new x3.fw. Is it being created somewhere else?

There should be a space between -o and x3.fw.

You have it -ox3.fw, but should be -o x3.fw

Is it possible, to change the "Main Menu" of X1?

I mean, idont see it have folder in the firmware... I want to change the disposition of this UI by leaving it as X5: ")"

Or Inverted X5 "("

OnTheBiio

It must be possible to fix the menu, because the DIY people over at Head-Fi have done it. There are some great DIY themes there--you might want to try them. Go to the last pages of the thread to get the latest stuff.

Greetings! DIY tool does not work correctly with the firmware from the X3-2.  I make unpack/pack (without some changing) When i  try to flash, i see  "Model Error" on screen.

A few questions:

• I'm assuming it is possible to brick/ruin your player when editing themes. Is this the case? If so, is there a way to fix it? For instance, would I just go through the process of reinstalling the firmware?
• When choosing my own background images, what picture file formats are compatible? And do pictures have to be a specific number of pixels, bytes or otherwise in order to be read and displayed successfully by the player?
• If I decide that I don't want the theme I've created and want to revert back to the default, how would I revert it? Would that be a "factory settings reset" operation, or would I just reinstall the entire firmware? Or something else?
• Will this tutorial work for the X5 as well as the X3?

Does someone know where this tag "<firmware_version>Firmware version：</firmware_version>" gets the information from? What file? ty

Hi, sorry for my late reply!

Your DAP is X3 2nd gen, right? So when making unpack/pack, please use the lowercase letter. Please see them as follows:
packtools --unpack -i x3ii.fw -o x3ii
packtools --pack -i x3ii -o x3ii.fw -m x3ii

Help i installed a custom firmware i made based on TOASTuh's theme all I did was change the boot up  ...

Just download original firmware from repository and reinstall it on your X1. That should fix the issue.
Here is the link:

Could I do the same thing with the X3II by using a theme folder from an X1 and replacing a theme folder in the X3II. Are the folders essentially the same thing, I have seen X1 with X3 themes. I don't own anX3II  but want to make a fw for a friend. same question about boot animations

sandman

How would you change fonts? I looked at the fonts folder they all appear to be the same even though they contain three different folders korean, mysh and thai each containing a different font name but the examples look the same.
Thanks in advance

i cant merge some x3 themed x1 1.4 FW, in the new 1.6...
The 1.4 themed works fine by its own, the 1.6 works too

When merging the pack.bat pops error (suddenly stopped) and cant do anything.

When repacking both originals, it's fine.

Any ideas?

I know this thread is a bit older, but I still have a question.

I'm using a FiiO X5 II and want to modify a few things, but I can't unpack the firmware. I tried almost everything now, but nothing seems to work.

I'm using a virtual machine of Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit within OS X 10.11.4 on my MacBook Pro Retina. I wanted to unpack the firmware, but I always get an error. This happens when I run it as admininistrator and within the CMD itself.

So I thought it may be the virtual machine and tried it on my desktop computer with Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit too. Just to be safe. But I get the same error too. I downloaded a few different versions of the unpacking tool and everyone should work with the files for the FiiO X5 II.

What do I do wrong or what can I do so that it's working for me?
Thanks in advance!

Edit: I tried to use the "X3 theme DIY tools" and the "X5ii_Custom_FW_Tools", but they both don't work.
