iriver H10 20GB problems

(1/3) > >>

PSBlake:
I've been playing around with Rockbox on my H10 for a while now, and recently, it has begun behaving erratically.  I update at least weekly, and starting about a month ago, I began experiencing random lockups during play.  At times, I could pause playback, then press play again and all would be well.  At other times, the unit became completely unresponsive to all input, even though the "lock" switch was in the unlocked position.

More recently, the unit has taken to going into complete lockup when I use the "resume playback" function, or attempt to load a bookmark.  The "Loading" dialog will show, but the unit will completely freeze, and will not respond to controls.  I've waited 10 minutes and more, so it is not simply a case of me being impatient.

Now the unit completely fails to load audio files at all.  It will lockup on the "loading" dialog.  Additionally, the screen will remain active, although the settings are configured to power it off within 5 seconds.  I have attempted backing up the contents of the h10, then re-formatting its drive.  When I restored the contents, it still suffered from the same problems.  I then attempted re-installing Rockbox freshly, complete with the most recent bootloader.  Now the unit refuses to boot beyond the initial iriver splash screen.

Any advice would be more than welcome.

LambdaCalculus:
What's the last SVN build you've been using before this happened? Also, is yours a 5/6GB unit, or a 20GB unit?

From what I've gathered from some recent posts, it looks like some of the PortalPlayer targets are having some pretty bad problems, ranging from data abort errors to frequent lockups.

I can't tell for sure what the extent of the issues can be. My iPod video is running SVN build r14640-070908, and is doing just fine right now. But like I said, I'm not sure what the extent is. Maybe a search on the forums might turn something up?

PSBlake:
It's a 20GB version, as stated in the subject of this thread.  

As for the SVN, there's really no telling.  I recall having these problems as long ago as 6 weeks, but not to this extent.  How recently was the H10 bootloader updated?  Is there somewhere that older bootloaders are archived?

PSBlake:
As a temporary fix, I've rolled back to r13749-070701, which works well enough.

bluebrother:
Can you try several archived builds to narrow down when the problem was introduced?
