So, I just got my M3i Zero from the mail.

I followed all the instructions, placed the proper F_CORE.dat/System files into the MicroSD card, then plugged the M3i Zero into the computer (with the USB power source).

Now, for some reason, the LED Light just stays on. There's no blinking, no processing, nothing. It's just on.

I've used multiple MicroSD cards with various formats and various System folders, but I can never get that LED to blink!

Is there something wrong? What can I do?

Sigh ...


Light blinks - in progress
Light off - no power or complete
Light on - error (no "f_core.dat" or wrong file etc.)


Please remember this


Download this:

Extract the file with WinRar.
Then place the "F_CORE.dat" file in the root of your MicroSD card.

If done correctly you should have F_CORE.DAT in the root of your card.

I'm facing this issue too, could it possibly be because I put all my other files onto the flash cart already too? games and music and such I mean. Or could it be because I didn't format it first? Or maybe because of this apparent variable, my drive for the card is D, so should I make this F_CORE.DAT be a D_CORE.DAT? I will try these things, and if I find a solution, I'll post it here. Also... Where does one get this F_CORE.DAT normally? It didn't come with my firmware from the m3adapter website...

EDIT: SCORE! Formatting did the job! Everyone facing this issue, make sure to format the SD card first!
