What do you mean by "all behaviours"? I've tested everything you listed (short/long main-unit POWER press, short/long remote-unit POWER press, short/long remote-unit POWER press while remote HOLD is on), but I didn't notice any difference.

: you need to combine the bootloader.bin (precompiled) with a OF of your choice (e.g., 2.10-k) and flash the result. I will not provide the result since (1) attachments are limited to 128k (2) that would limit it to a specific OF version (3) I don't want to deal with copyright issues.
Anyway, the bootloaders given here are declared
unstable
(although they won't crash your device). Wait for a stable version if you're not a technical person.
webmeister
: yes, that's what I meant. Now I'm clueless, since bootloader-4 isn't supposed to boot RB via remote
at all

So what's the bottom line here? Should we be using one of those newer dual-boot firmwares if we have a remote, or what?
Just wondering the state of things here.

I created a HOWTO for creating a dual boot iAudio X5 using a windows machine:
http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums/showpost.php?p=93545&postcount=180
It goes throught the whole precess step-by-step.
Hope it helps some people (I know it would have helped me and saved me much confusion and time!)

As I replied on iaudiophile.net, you're suggesting people to use an unstable version. Please refrain from that.

Ok. I have added some caveats to make people aware that this is the alpha version and is unstable.
If you could let me know where I could get a precompiled stable 12th May version, I will update the HOWTO referencing this instead.

Everything needed (except OF) is here.
Remove the .jpg and open the .zip file.

I absolutely love the new bootloader. Pressing REC and holding ON was a pain. This is so amazing.
Thank you!

Thanks RaeNye. I've updated the original instructions to use the stable bootloader.

To my knowledge the bootloader will work just fine on the X5V. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure. Give it a try. If it doesn't work, just reflash the firmware back on there.
I just saw a post by Llorean about an X5V specific bootloader.
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioBoot
Bootloader 2 has X5V support.

That's not a dual-bootloader, just a rockbox X5V bootloader.
no use for running mkboot on it.

Ok I compiled mkboot.c and ran it with the dualboot binary and OF 2.10e, flashed my X5L and everything worked well with a version of Rockbox that I had left on the drive from a few months ago. OF also worked well.
Flushed with my success I downloaded the latest build of Rockbox and replaced the .rockbox folder and rockbox.iaudio as I had read that battery life was improved.
Now Rockbox will not boot, I've tried a few different daily builds and have gone as far as remaking and reflashing the dualboot firmware but Rockbox still doesn't boot although the OF works without problems.
Are newer versions of Rockbox incompatible with the dualboot firmware and if so can someone suggest a version that works well?
