I was playing around with that firmware hack thing for the Gigabeat. And i didnt realse i didnt have the orginal firmware on there ( i had the blank files) i turned it off after transfering the files. turned it back on. and it started up got a error "rechage battery" and then rebooted and got the same error. after i turned it off. it didnt turn back on. i cant recharge it because ive been out and i dont have my charger with me. chould it be i need to plug it in and attempt to put the rockbox bootloader on. or do i have to follow the recovery process?

AlexP:
I'm having trouble understanding your post and what you have done.  Try splitting it into sentences with some proper punctuation and capitalisation.

1)  What firmware hack thing?  We only support Rockbox here.

2)  If you have installed the dummy firmware files but not the rockbox bootloader then you have clearly broken the original firmware without installing rockbox.  You need to use the recovery procedure to install the rockbox bootloader and unzip a rockbox build.

3)  Follow the instructions in the manual.  If you did that, you wouldn't be having these problems.

i was using gigabet firmware hack 3.0. i think it chould be both because i deleted the .rockbox directory once and i got a error "no firmware" and i chould connect to the computer. did you guys add that? or is it built into the gigabeat.

AlexP:
We do not support third party hacks.

To recover your gigabeat follow:

P.S.  This is personal preference, but could you at least capitalise the first word of a sentance?  I find it really hard to read when you don't.
