Help! (iRiver H300 series)

I've put the rockbox firmware on my system no problems but i've come round to wanting to take it off agian and hit some troubles. First of all i tried booting the original firmware the way the manual says but all that happend is it said it was booting it and went blank and turned itself off. I tried uninstalling it but the bootloader remained and came up with the message 'firmware -1'. Went back to the manual and it said to remove firmware, simply flash the original manufacturer's firmware...so here's my question; i've got the original firmware, what does 'flashing it' consist of?! Any help would be much appreciated!

first of all: boooo at uninstalling ;)

when doing the dual-boot, you need to hold the ON button long enough:
- press and hold REC
- press and hold ON (play)
- wait for original firmware to boot
- release buttons


can you tell us why you're removing rockbox?

nls:
Also, to flash the original firmware, just put the clean .hex file in the root of the player and "Update" using the iriver firmware (dualbooted as petur explained)

tomfreeman:
Cracking, thanks guys. In answer to why i'm taking it off, i'm getting a brand new nice and shiney iPod and i'm donating this one to my mum and the original firmware is probably easier to use for someone who's a technophobe!

Very true. Rockbox is not the thing for someone who barely understands what an "MP3" is (e.g. one of my friends).
