Why I'm keeping the rockbox from my box [H320].

zone22:
when you flash it, is it possible to delete code or only add it?


Thanks for your time and extraordinary patience.

Llorean:
I don't know what you mean by "delete code or only add it"

There's a certain size block of flash memory. When you choose the firmware upgrade option in the original firmware, a portion of this is overwritten by whatever's in the H300.HEX file. When installing Rockbox, we modify that file to have the Rockbox bootloader in, so it gets run first.

zone22:
 that's because I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm taking information from this site and others and spitting out a theoretical solutions based on what I know.

I know people have sent  their units back after flashing them with rockbox and sent them back repaired.

so the firmware that we download isn't the full version it's just a patch?

Llorean:
Which firmware that you download?

The official iRiver H300.HEX is a full version, but it does not contain the DRM key. This is already on your device, in the flash (it seems) and does not get overwritten on firmware updates.

Rockbox includes two parts, a bootloader (which is a patch to the H300.HEX file for iRiver H300 series) that gives you the choice which firmware to load, and the actual firmware (rockbox.iriver and various other files) which are actually loaded off the disk under normal circumstances so you only have to flash once.

zone22:
I currently have v1.04 US which I think is the latest patch.

does the DRM key and change when you upload and protected files to it and play them.  I have a program that strips the DRM [if you have a license] it searches and uploads "DRM keys" approximately 11 of them.
would the flash ROM containing one of these one or all of these keys?

There is no way to actually look at the code or flash memory that's in the player?
