iriver h320 - installing roxbox - help!
Febs:
Please use real English in our forums, and not abbreviations like "idk."
Just follow the step-by-step instructions set forth in the "installing the bootloader" portion of the installation chapter of the manual. They tell you the exact order that things need to be done.

i patched the H300.hex file with the fwpatcher. it said it was successful. i move that onto the root directory of my iriver along with all the stuff in the build. so i have the .rockbox folder and the now patched H300.hex file. but i see no change when i load up the unit. i know you said i have to "flash" the non-US firmware (the .hex file) and THEN patch it. so did i skip a step? i followed the steps as given here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualRockboxInstall#Installing_a_Rockbox_daily_build
so what do i need to do to flash the .hex file before i patch it?
also it says here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualRockboxInstall#Installing_a_Rockbox_daily_build "The build contain a file named rockbox.iriver and a directory called .rockbox which are located in the root of your jukebox's hard drive." the rockbox.iriver file was INSIDE the .rockbox directory. the above quote makes it sound like they are separate and the rockbox.iriver file should be in the root directory and not in the .rockbox directory. so i moved it...and still nothing
GodEater:
The wiki page you are reading is not what Febs has told you to follow. Read the manual, as he has repeatedly asked you to. There's a nice long section there on how to install the bootloader, telling you EXACTLY what you need to do.

Those steps tell you how to install Rockbox once you have installed the bootloader. You haven't yet managed to install the bootloader, so you have to go back to the previous chapter in the manual:

Hint: See step 10.

the link you gave me sends me to a page that says: "THIS PAGE IS OUT-OF-DATE AND EXISTS SOLELY FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES Please refer to the Rockbox Manual" so i click that link to the manual and it takes me here: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-h300/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-60002 once i select my version of the iriver. im trying to look at the manual, thats what i get when i go to the manual
so if thats what im supposed to be looking at, it has the "Installing the firmware" section first, and then "Installing the bootloader." but you just said i have to install the bootloader first. so is that where im messing up?
