For anyone else looking to get their function keys working with the screen locked, the version of the firmware you're looking for is in the 2/28/24 folder. Apparently the feature has been removed and readded a couple times now.
Thanks! It would be a nice idea if you consider to notify in someway when it's available a new firmware for M30. When I bought it, I've updated to the september update and today I've discovered the new december update but without trying to download and verify it's hard to know...
Hi, you can always check the firmware update at the officel website mechen.com.cn/gjsj or from the google driver: bit.ly/3Il3d9C Of course, we can also send notifications of firmware updates by email, but most people probably won't read these messages.
Hi, I recently bought Mechen M30 (Software version: V1.101.10 Modify time: 2024-08-06). Since then I had some issues with the device. First issue is that sometimes when I play the song it will suddenly stop and return to the first song in that folder and start playing the first song in that folder. For example: I have folder with 10 songs and I am listening the 3rd song in that folder, player will stop half way through the song and return to the first song in that folder and start playing that first song. All shuffle and repeat options are switched off. Second issue is that player doesn't want to play some songs. For example I have folder with 10 songs and I want to play the first song the player will skip that song and will start playing the second song then it will normally play all other songs until the 6th song which he will skip again and it will start playing the 7th song. All songs are from the same artist, same album and same file format .m4a Did anyone had the same issue? Is there any update that can fix this?
The Mechen M30 does not support the .m4a format. You will have to convert the .m4a files to a format that is supported such as flac or WAV files using audio converting software. Your files should play perfect after conversion.
Hi. Do I need to download all the firmware? I downloaded the lastest one but when I block the screen and try to use the buttons they dont work, I need to turn on the screen to use them so the “sleep mode” is not working, maybe it is a bug already fixed in a previos firmware I dont have yet. Is it?
Hello. When first receiving my M30, the functions on screen lock were entirely non functional. I found this video, and upgraded the firmware with the HEX found in the 4/24/24 folder, then tried with the FW found in the 3/19/24 folder, and they still aren't functional. Using any of the buttons does wake it up, but it doesn't perform the action. Is there a previous firmware y'all are confident works as was advertised?
Hi, the very first firmware was in the lock screen state and all other buttons were unavailable. But there are a lot of buyers who want to operate it even in lock screen, so we made a new firmware according to their needs. If you want the buttons to be unavailable in the lock screen state, you need to use the previous firmware version. I will provide you the correct version if you are sure you need it.
@@MECHENTECH I found the version that suits my needs shortly after I posted initially. I wrote of it in another comment to improve visibility for anyone in the future, rather than shoving in an edit under a "Read more." Thank you, and good day.

Hi, please don't update the firmware as there is one and ONLY firmware in Russian language. If you need the language back, please email us to get the correct firmware.

Apparently the Russian integration reintroduced the 7/26 update regarding this.

Can i use the firmware of the MECHEN M30 with a SWOFY M8 ? Seems to be nearly the exact same device but also don't want to brick it..

How long does it take? Does it depend on how much music is stored on your memory card?
hi, it takes 1-2 minutes or so, music quantity doesn't matter.
How can I tell which firmware I have?
in the settings
What about upgrading on a MAC ?
Hi, recommend to use the auto-upgrade.
