Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
Hi there, following on from this thread
- reflash an original, unmodified iriver firmware- remove .rockbox, rockbox.iriver
- backup all your music from your player- format the player, maybe using the format feature of the OF (windows can't format drives larger than 32 GB with FAT)- flash your player with a original firmware -- either a patched or a vanilla one- now you should have the OF running again. If you installed a patched OF you may want to reinstall Rockbox- put your files back ... and hope it won't happen again. If it does I fear this to be hardware related.
The procedure described by bluebrother does not erase all the Rockbox history! The Rockobox settings are stored outside the disk partition and format does not erase them.You have to:a) Erase the settings after installing Rockbox again.orb) Erase the sector with the setings (it is the last but one sector on the first track of the HDD). You can also erase the whole disk:Code: [Select]cat /dev/sda (replace /dev/sda by actual location of your iriver's HDD) and then repartition it again using fdisk.
cat /dev/sda
So I'm wondering is there any way to just completely remove rockbox settings and everything else on the HD at the same time instead of having to wait until I reinstall rockbox to delete the rockbox settings and have the Hard Drive as if it was just brand new with no trace of rockbox or anything on it, and then reinstall the H140 firmware and start fresh.

9. Recreate the partition table and format primary FAT32 partition. You can use for example SwissKnife to do this.
