H-120 not booting in Rockbox or iRiver firmware

(1/3) > >>

blindhippie:
My H-120 has been working beautifully for about two years now, so i haven't been around (I only show up when I have a problem). This is because I am technically retarded and can't really help others much. bear this in mind as i describe the problem.

I was trying to listen to a large .wav file (a recorded show), and was FF through it and the file froze up. no problem, i'll just reset. But when I turned it back on, it hangs up at the page that says:
 
Rockbox bootloader
Version 6
Batt: 3.33V
Loading firmware
Result: -1

I can hear the disc click a couple of times, a little louder than i recall in the past. I don't like that sound. I have to reset to get it to turn off.
I tried to boot to the original firmware with a similar result. The screen just says loading orignal firmware, but nothin happens.

I realize this is a very old version and i have not kept up with new developments. i barely remember how I got everything on there in the first place, so if you can help me, be gentle and take it step by step, cuz the few posts i read here sound like Chinese to me.  ??? if the sucker is really fried, is there anyway to get that show off the disc? i hate to lose that SBD of Patterson Hood, it was sweet.  :'(

Have you taken a look at the iriver FAQ at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverFAQ
?

Llorean:
Try turning it on (or resetting it) with a USB cable in. You should then be able to get into Bootloader USB mode (this is in  flash, so disk errors shouldn't stop you so far). then perhaps you can chkdisk to see if your disk is okay.

blindhippie:
what do i need to do to get into bootloader usb mode? do i need to use the bootloader on my computer? I have changed computers, so I don't have the .hex file or the fwpatcher.

Llorean:
You do exactly what I said, and you'll be in bootloader USB mode... it's just a different screen where you can connect it to your computer, one that you can get to before it has to load anything from the disk.
