iriver H10 20GB problems

And also: do you use voice?

Hello all; this is my first post here, but I hope that, with some instruction, I can also help to resolve this matter with some testing.

I just purchased an H10 specifically for use with RockBox (delicious FLACs...), but I just installed the "current build" and am having the exact same problems. Everything boots fine, but whenever I try to play the one MP3 file that I uploaded to it (as a test file), I get a "Loading..." message, but then the player locks up and I have to reboot with the "reset" button.

Since I just purchased this player, I promptly went back to the iRiver firmware and tried playing the same file. I've played it a few times now, and it works perfectly, so it must be a problem with the Box -- and, from what I've read here, a recently introduced one.

I'm going to try installing an older build (the same one that the OP suggested, if I can find it) to see if that solves the problem.

Me again! I don't know if I was clear enough in my last message, but I, too, have a 20gb H10 with RockBox installed. When I installed yesterday's "current build," I was immediately having the lock-up issues that the OP mentioned: that is, when I tried to load a song, my player was stuck with a "Loading..." message. I also had the problem when using the Data Base's search functions.

Since then, I rolled back to the earliest RockBox build that I could find (r14288-070812), and I've been astounded at the quality of this firmware. For crying out loud, it's awesome... but I'll take my worship to the General board later. Suffice to say, I had absolutely no problems with r14288 after a few hours of play. I was so content that I almost didn't want to continue experimenting, but if there's anything that I can do to contribute to this project...

So anyway, I skipped right to r14560-070901 after that, figuring that, if I got the same problem, I could then narrow it down to being somewhere in August. I've been listening to it on that firmware for about a half hour now, and I haven't had any problems, so, unless my playlist starts freezing up or something, I'd bet that the problem was introduced somewhere between now and the beginning of the month. I'll keep testing, though.

Well, I'm done with my testing, I think, but I didn't get as definitive a result as I was hoping for. I played with the firmware pretty extensively, bobbing from date to date to narrow down where I noticed the change. On the Sep. 3 build, I had no problems. On the Sep. 5 build, and for every build beyond it, I locked up with a "Loading..." message when I attempted to play a file.

On the Sep. 4 build, I also locked up. I was surprised, since I had expected Sep. 5 to be the dividing line, so I rebooted the H10 to make sure that it was indeed -070904. It was, so I figured I'd try to play the file again... This time, no problems.

Now, I had chalked this problem up to being 100% reproducible -- an assumption that I made because, when I first had the problem on the Sep. 11 build, I tried three times and got the same frozen screen every time. Since then, I never booted any firmware more than once: if it froze, I moved onto the next firmware, and if it didn't, I listened to a couple of albums and called it error-free.

At least for the Sep. 4 firmware, rebooting the H10 seems to have fixed the problem. I'll keep using it for awhile, to see if it freezes again, and when... In the mean-time, I'd say that I THINK the problem was introduced around Sep. 3 - Sep. 5.

If there's anything else you'd like me to test, I'd be happy to follow any instructions that you give to help fix this problem.

Getting sleepy, but want to make this last post. I'm still using the Sep. 4 build, and it hasn't given me much trouble, except now it won't boot Rockbox at all; it just freezes on the Rockbox splash, with the "Loading..." message. In this case, though, I think that it could be a battery issue... The player is pretty exhausted.
