Gigabeat F20 and SYSTEM ERROR 00000001

Hi everybody!

I have a big problem with my Gigabeat F20. Perhaps, I made a brick. I have following symptoms:

- just one bar in the original GB progress bar (duration near 30 seconds)
- system error message (SYSTEM ERROR 00000001)
- original GB USB logo appears when player linked with a PC and then player stucks
- computer makes a sound like an USB device is connected but it cannot been seeing in the explorer as a logical drive. But when i go to Safely Remove Hardware properties, the system sees it as Toshiba HDD Audioplayer but no letter is being assigned to it (in MS Windows).

The same story with Mandriva Linux -- it see only a USB device, not a USB drive.

Anyone know what can possibly help me with my GB?

AlexP:
What did you do to get to this state?  When you installed the rockbox bootloader, did you keep a backup of the files replaced?  What files are in the GBSYSTEM directory?  Details! :)

Nonetheless, if it is not a physical hard drive problem, you should be able to use the recovery trick to  put the correct files back:

Phalangees:
Sounds like your missing one of the critical files that are checked for in boot up. I'm not sure why it's not letting you connect to USB properly. On the same page that BigBambi posted, if you scroll all the way down you should see a table with a few files in it. You need to get the GBSYSTEM.zip. That's got dummy files but it'll trick the "bios" of the gigabeat into booting. BigBambi is right, if you need to connect to USB, the recovery procedure might be your best bet to be able to check if you have all the files need.

I noticed that I could not see the GB as a drive under Linux when I first got it with the OF UNTIL I went into the OF and set the connection to Gigabeat room.  This probably enabled USB storage mode in the boot flash?

tdrive:
I use Rockbox on my GB since January 2007. Usually I have only official subversion of Rockbox with the latest bootloader from GigabeatFXPort page. Couple of times my GB freezed (on this words I mean that playback suddenly stops and Power button doesn't work, display light is off but you can see on dark screen WPS and title of track etc). Only On\Off switch helped me in this situations.

But on 21st of November I put EvilG release on GB (evilg-FX-20070914). After few days (2-3) my player stucked again. After On\Off manipulation I saw things that I descripted above. I don't think that EvilG release is guilty of my GB coma, but I don't know what to do... Perhaps, I must to do a surgery...

2scharkalvin: I can't go on OF in this circumstances.
