Broken Toshiba F Series
procreator:
I attempted the rockbox upgrade to my F series Toshiba Gigabeat and upon restarting the player I get nothing, and every now and then it will bring up a blank screen, but I can no longer see the device connected to my computer, I have heard the term bricked device, please tell me there is a way to repair my device...

The wiki should have everything you need. If the procedures outlined there don't work, post again.

I followed the directions and I think that I actually loaded the wrong .dat file to the player, because now I can't get past the toshiba bootloader screen. In addittion to that, I can no longer see the drive on the USB. It's not booting up all the way --- any fix?
Chronon:
If you switch the battery off then back on and try connecting by USB before turning the unit on, this should give you the bootloader USB mode.

Negative,
I am only able to get the toshiba Boot screen to come on for a few seconds then at the point where the firmware would load, I get nothing the unit just turns off or the screen turns on with nothing on it and no response form any buttons so I cannot even power down without switching the battery off. I have found a 1.8" to 2.5" drive converter on the internet for $15.00 seems like my last hope at this point t otry to slide it into my 2.5" drive sleeve and access it from there.
