problem installing rockbox

<< < (3/3)

naboo:
OK, so I removed ALL traces of rockbox from my "other" H140 and removed the bootloader and put on the original firmware and updated. 

Just the original iriver firmware on it when turned back on

I started the rockbox utility and put the bootloader back onto this other iriver and patched it.

booted into iriver firmware and started the upgrade.

player turned off and when turned back on the rockbox loader appeared so turned back off

installed  rockbox and its folders through the rockbox utility and did a reboot.

boots straight into rockbox on this other iriver



This confirms that there must be something wrong with my other H140's ability to accept a patched firmware.  It accepts original firmare as I can downgrade and upgrade any of the original firmware without a problem.  It also shows the firmware upgrade screen and turns itself off when I use the patched firmware, but, on reboot, just goes into the original iriver firmware.

I wonder what causes this then ?






EDIT

decided to try once more with the exact same steps I just did with my other iriver and SUCCESS
Rockbox is now working on both.

thankyou for your time

petur:
I have seen on h300 that you sometimes needed to upgrade the firmware twice before it actually worked, this is a bit extreme.

I guess the firmware upgrade function of the OF does some checks and silently fails if something is wrong, giving you the impression it was done when in fact it was not.

Maybe a problem reading the file of writing to flash
