    Francisco,

    Thank you for your help!  Please don't hit me but I'm having trouble as well.  I've read all 8 pages of these posts and I still cant unbrick my old zune 30gb model 1089.  My daughter recently saved her allowance and bought a zune cord as I told her she could have it.  So the cord arrived today and I came home from work to her listening to it!  I installed the zune software and I removed some 472 pictures and some music I didn't want her to listen to.  Then I formatted the device.  Big mistake.  Now the zune won't be recognized by the software.  So I followed your steps and I still can't get it.  I feel like I'm close.  

    I have the zune software installed in c:/programfiles/zune and abyss is in C:/abyss

    I edited the host file to have the information and I used a space and not a tab.

    I edited the abyss conf and entered the line C:\ZUNE\software\restaurar firmware\Abyss  

    I feel like the abyss server isn't working as it says:

    Abyss Web Server X1 (v 2.11)

    Copyright © Aprelium - 2001-2016

    Bad path (key: root/server/parameters/root - file: C:\abyss\abyss.conf - line: 5 - col: 3)

    The console is not running

    What am I missing?  What am I doing wrong? 

    I'm using Win7 ultimate 64 bit edition.

    On behalf of everyone you've already helped, thank you so much!  I hope you get 10,000 views.
