Rockbox won't boot: result-5 in bootloader
« on: January 30, 2007, 09:29:35 AM »
hey all,

Alright, I really have a BIG problem...I can't start Rockbox anymore.

Ok, what's going on...Just see this screen below:



That's all what I can say...Also the orginial Iriver firmware isn't starting anymore if i push the REC button + PLAY button.

It just happens last evening, i was listening music and suddenly the music stops and the player froze. I push the reset button and got that screen (see picture). I can only push the again reset button to disappear that screen. The stop button or an other button doesn't work in this screen.

The only positive thing about it is that i still can connect my player to the PC with the bootloader usb function. So I thought, put the newest daily build on my player, but no results....

What means result:-5?

I think that my harddisk isn't broken because i did CHKDSK /F in Windows and windows didn't found any faults...

Please, could somebody help me? I'm using Rockbox now for more then a year and it's the best firmware ever!! Oh my god, i don't hope that my player died.

Try copying over a different copy of Rockbox. This error usually means that rockbox.iriver got corrupted while copying.

Thnx for your fast answer!

I also format the drive (fat32 ofcourse) but i still get the result: -5....

Are there other options to fix this?  :-\

Did you re-download Rockbox, and re-extract the .zip?

Also, which player, exactly, do you have?

Yes I re-download the daily build and re-extracted, I also tried some older builds (2007-01-02 and some other).  

But no result.

My player is a Iriver H140.

Are you sure that there's not an extra rockbox.iriver file on your player? Make sure that you don't have one in the /.rockbox/ folder. If you have a corrupt one there, but a good one in the root, it still won't work.

That error code -5 means that firmware checksum does not match and bootloader refuses to start it. It sounds like the internal connection between the usb bridge and player has broken and data corrupts while reading from hdd while still being ok when read from a pc. You could try to open up the player and re-seat the hdd, or trying to figure out a loosened connection between the usb bridge and the motherboard.

@Llorean:
Yes 100% Sure.

@Slasher:
I opened the player, could you post a picture or say where i have to look exactly? Where is the usb bridge? (is it the connection by the usb connector?).

Are you sure you are copying over the build made for your device?

If my memory is correct, where it says "Model Name:" in that screenshot, it's actually taken from the .iriver file, so h120 is appropriate for the h140.

I thought of that, I just asked it in a different way. :)

Yes, I think that's the solution...Only one problem...I can't start the orginial firmware so I can't flash the modified firmware. I think that's the only way to flash the bootloader, or is there an other trick?

Hi there,
I've got the exact same problem as this(result: -5), except, now after re-formatting and running check disc(no errors found) the result is now -1.

Just wondering if you managed to fix yours and if so how you did it.

Thanks
