Title: Can't flash 3.0 to replace 2.4 "File invalid.Blocksize too small"
Post by: Boite de roche on October 01, 2008, 01:19:06 PM
Hi all,

I have extracted the entire contents of the rockbox-fmrecorder-3.0.zip file directly to the root.
It powers up as v2.4
I start the v3.0 with play "/ajbrec.ajz"
I play the file "/.rockbox/rockbox.ucl"
It say:
"Checked:
File invalid.Blocksize too small?"

What does it mean?
Thanks in advance

* Jukebox FM Recorder V1 with 120Go hard drive and v2.4 flashed (which works well). *

I have the same problem with updating to 3.0.

I get first:
Code: [Select]
Flash size: 256 KB
Image at 72 KB

Checking...

Followed by:
Code: [Select]
Checked:
File invalid.
Blocksize
  too small?


Any key to exit

This is on a V2 Recorder with an upgraded HD after ROLO to 3.0.

Try build r18823 or newer.

Increase UCL blocksize in order to fix 'blocksize too small' errors when trying to flash rockbox on fm/v2 recorders. Default blocksize is 256KB and our thinned-out decompressor only supports single-block UCL files. 1MB blocksize should be on the safe side.

Yes, that fixed it.  Thanks for the heads up, yapper!

BTW, this is one of the flaws that will be fixed in the upcoming 3.0.1 release targeted for the Archos models.

Thank you!  It's ok with build r18836.
There remains a problem with the charging screen.
But I see here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7631 that it is a bug.
