RockBox on S60

<< < (2/3) > >>

As has been said, charging is not yet implemented from AC or anywhere else.  You can charge in the original firmware - the problem is that to create a dual boot bootloader you need a copy of the original firmware, which has never been released by Toshiba.  Therefore the only legit way to get it is to put the disk from the S into a caddy and copy it off.

There is a patch for charging within Rockbox which from my testing seems to work well, but as charging has the potential to go wrong, it needs much more testing before it goes into SVN, as gevaerts said.

The install is reversible and is just as easy as the install, if you have a copy of the OF as mentioned for dual booting above.  Without this copy of the OF, it is not possible to uninstall.

There is a way to get the nk.bin without getting it off your player. I'm not too sure about the legality of it, so I'm not going to post a link to it. But if you search around for Zunepet's firmware recovery guide you'll find it. It has a copy of the hacked V updater and all the firmware files. I'm dual-booting using the nk.bin from that archive and it works perfectly.

Also, there's an unsupported build in these forums with the charging patch applied if you want to try it out.

Yes but distributing other people's software that you do not have permission to distribute is not "legit".  Hence the only legal way to do get the OF remains to dump it yourself off the disk.

Yea that's what I was thinking, I'm just giving suggestions though. Sometimes you have to break the law a bit to get ahead. ;)

LambdaCalculus:
Regardless, however, while we can't stop anyone from doing what they want, the suggestions we give to people here should be the "legit" way.
