Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
The Zen V and V Plus come under the Zen Vision M port - http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZVMPortThe first step I would do is to find out the CINF, NULL key and  ©TL for both players - try running the zenutils from the wiki page on the firmwares and smart guessing the keys - i don't think there will be much diff - im guessin "CTL:N0MAD|PDE0.SIGN." "1sN0TM3D az u~may th1nk*Creative Zen V" & "1sN0TM3D az u~may th1nk*Creative Zen V Plus" will be the appropriate keys.
I think that the Zen V has not been investigated at all as a rockbox port. Can you go to the following page and find out the information for the Zen V/Plus (could it be different for each?) and what do you own, a Zen V or a Zen V Plus?http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZVMPort#Other_Creative_players_firmware

How would I get a Zen V Firmware image? If you tell me how to get one, I will get it as soon as possible.
What is the difference between the Zen V Plus and the Zen V Video? I own a Zen V so I can't really help you with getting a firmare image for a Zen V Plus, but if you need anything for the Zen V, I can help you there
@MarcGuay: Do you think we could use the ported Linux kernel to boot up the Zen?I'm willing to help and learn (I'm an experienced assembly and C programmer though).Does anybody have new information regarding the encrypted firmware?I tried reversing it (actually haven't done much on it to be honest) but it feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
How far did you get last time?Currently, zenutils (in SVN) should allow you to decrypt the whole package and to fiddle with it.About the ported Linux kernel: it won't do much without some (reverse engineering) work because you don't know how to drive the LCD (controller) etc
