---++ Information about the Creative ZEN
---+++ Recover from a bad flash
To recover from a bad flash, turn on the unit while holding the play/pause button. The Rescue mode will start up, and you can erase your bad firmware, and from there, reload the original(providing you have a PC, and the update program). 
---+++ Firmware format
Using [[http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/CreativeZVMPort?filename=zenutils.zip][ZenUtils]] (see SVN for a newer version), I extracted these files from the updater program made available by Creative:
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01.opt (this is a !ZenUtils specific file)
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk.bin (this is the main Firmware)

Further file extraction, again using zen_utils, yields:
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_0xa9544c20 (this is the actual main Firmware)
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_CINF
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_FRESC (this is the rescue mode firmware)
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_HCreative_S.TTF
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_HCreative_T.TTF
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_HDeviceInfo.xml
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_Hdevicon.ico
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_Hdevlogo.png
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_Hjukebox2.jrs
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_Hjukebox.grs
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_Hsplash.jbm
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk.mk (this is a !ZenUtils specific file)
   * ZEN_PCFW_L22_1_21_01_rk_NULL
