Anybody can help?...or guide me with a "compiling Rockbox and bootloader for dummies" ;)

The problem isn't compiling it, that is fairly trivial. The problem is that for the H100 (and H300) if you flash a bad bootloader, then without specialist equipment, you have just bricked it. A bad bootloader may well build just fine, but have some bad code in it. This is why we strongly discourage people building their own bootloaders, but instead use the provided ones that have been heavily tested.
This obviously doesn't help you, and if someone else has already built and tried a recent SVN one, then you are *probably* OK. However, it is all at your own risk.

Thanks AlexP for answering :)
So from the info that nlak wrote in his previous posts is it something that I should try out? Is all the info there for altering the code and recompiling?
AlexP:
As he has already tried a SVN bootloader (even with modifications) at it worked, then it'll *most likely* be OK for you. What you should do is find out what version he built, and then what changes he made, and do the same thing. Even easier, ask him to send you the bootloader he built (and md5 sum it before he sends it and after you get it).
I must stress again that this is at your own risk :)

Thanks again AlexP, I did send him a pm but no answer yet :-[ I just hope he didn't disappeared from the forum. I don't feel confident enough to recompile(with corrections...) the BL and RB so I guess Ill have to wait until nlak show up again or that someone better at coding and ready to try it out on a similar rig will let me(us) know. So anyway, please! if anybody tries it out let me know! God I feel stuck :-[

By any chance, anybody have a way to contact nlak other than this list?
