Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling
Patching
DavidRawson:
I did the stuff that does the thing and it did the install thing. I did the compile thing and it worked made the rockbox binary that works. Then I use diff on patch to compile patch and take the .diff file and rename it rockboxpatch.c and insert it into the rockbox directory when compiling. It makes a folder that I look in and there it is. I test it on rockbox but nothing happened. I put the player in manufacture mode and renamed rockboxpatch.c to BL_SDboardSupport.rom and patched it to my player with e200tool. Now my player is bricked. I had to take apart my player and short circut the chip and now it starts again. It can't read the flash memory though. Is there a way to fix it so it works again?

Did the patch work? If nothing happens, it sounds like patch did not work. Go back to this step and make sure the patch command didn't return an error.

diff files aren't c files, so this won't do anything (and anyway putting c files in the rockbox directory when compiling generally doesn't do anything anyway since the make file ignores any extra c files).

Oh my. Why on earth would you do this?
DavidRawson:
I thought it would patch it to the bootloader and the bootloader would patch it to rockbox when it started. And diff files look like c files only combined into one file.

Seriously - you clearly haven't understood a thing about patching and compiling.
If you keep this up you WILL wreck your device. Stop what you're doing - leave it alone, and let people who understand this better than you get on with it.

He already has. He replaced the OF bootloader with a diff file.
See? That's what happens when you assume, and don't think before you do something. Don't just blindly rename and replace files. And I thought it was impossible to brick a player by installing rockbox unless you actually tried, I guess I was wrong. ::)
