Own this mp3 player since 2001. A very good mp3 player that serve it purpose at that time which cost me about $150. Over a period of time the device also haywire due to long period of wear and tear.
The above show the internal part of the device and also the chipset use which is SIGMATEL STMP3510 DSP Chip.
The firmware of Creative Muvo V200 had never updated before ever since I brought it. So in order to refurnish the device and pro-long the usage, I intend to update the latest firmware from 1.12.03 to 1.13.03. You can get this firmware from creative website.
Bare in mind that the firmware can only flash by using older version Windows XP(32Bit) not any other lastest version windows 7,8 and 10.

Add More RAM to Your LA2-S with a MicroSD Card
What you need,
1. LA2-S
2. Micro SD card
3. ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) - Google Play Store
Your Android device most likely came with 8/16GB of storage, but it’s the RAM that really affects what you can do with it. Most high-end Android devices ship with 2GB or more of RAM, but some cheap devices might have only 1GB of RAM or even 512MB in some cases.
Why Do You Need More RAM?
The importance of additional RAM cannot be overstated. While more storage space gives you more photos, more MP3s, or more video clips, additional RAM helps the processor to work more quickly, thereby aiding in the playback (or even creation) of such files.
For instance, some playback problems are erroneously blamed on a slow Internet connection, when in truth they could be speeded up with additional RAM, rather than faster wireless.
Various tricks exist to increase usable RAM on your Android device by “cleaning up”. We’ll assume you’ve already tried them, and look here at how you can actually physically increase available RAM.
RAM Swapping on Rooted Devices
If your Android device is rooted you can increase the available RAM thanks to ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP), which is compatible with rooted Android phones and tablets. Simply install, then run the app to find out if the ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) is an app that can give you the results you want.
Install the RAM Expander
With the message displayed, it’s time to purchase and install ROEHSOFT’s RAM Expander (SWAP) app. Once running, and with root permissions applied, select your language.
You will then see a screen with a slider that can be adjusted depending upon how much RAM you want dedicated to the SWAP partition.
If you’re not sure about this, simply tap Optimal Value for the app to make the decision for you. Before proceeding, ensure that Autorun is enabled (this is a radio button at the top of the display) and when you’re happy tap the Swap Activbutton.
With the RAM partition created on your device’s SD card, Android should now run with improved performance. Try out your favorite game, or try opening a bunch of apps all at once.
MicroSD cards don’t only work to increase your RAM, though. For anyone, rooted or unrooted, you can use a microSD card to increase your storage capacity. However, don’t just buy any old microSD card — spend a little extra on some storage that is more resilient, which will result in better reliability. Check the rating on box when buying a new microSD card – Class 4 minimum is recommended, but Class 10 is the best.
If you’ve followed this tutorial from start to finish, you’ve increased your LA2-S storage space and RAM. Well done! With more RAM available for processing data, you’ll find the LA2-S is more useful and productive than ever before.
