Iriver will not read in computer - possible bootloader issue

(1/3) > >>

med9:
Hello! I am having trouble getting my computer to read my iriver. I think it is corrupted/bootloader. I had it plugged it while I was getting an update on my security software the autoplay feature came up on my computer like it normally does when I plug in my h120 and half way through it stopped. I have another iriver h320 (rockbox) and I plugged it last night and reads just fine so I know that my h120 is corrupted. I turned it on with the original firmware so I can see if it boots ok and yes it does with the original software but show the rockbox files. I am using ver 1.66 rockbox. I can not get my computer to read my iriver when I plug it in any usb port. Thanks, Mike

you can openly advise of solutions or pm which ever. Thanks again

It is unlikely to be a corrupted bootloader - writing to that needs the upgrade mechanism of the original firmware, and you can sart the original firmware and it sounds like it is running OK.

Can you connect to your H100 using the USB when running the original firmware or in the bootloader (plug in the USB with the unit switched off)?

What exactly do you see on your screen when trying to boot Rockbox on the player?

Wehjn I plug it in - it shows the usb connection but the computer is not reading teh device. You can hear the iriver drive spinning/working but nothing else. The computer will kind of freeze if I have the explorer up to view my drives. Yes I have tried to connect with the original firmware as well same reaction. When I turn on the unit with the original firmware it does show the rockbox files on the unit. is it possible to delete those and start from zero or ? Thanks for your assistance, Mike

could I try to reload it on a different computer and reload it or delete the rockbox files?



I have a feeling....

Multiplex:
I suppose you have two options;
A) check and fix the drive using the utilities on your PC (I'm no PC support expert - so can't offer any help on that)
B) re-format the drive using the iRiver firmware then put Rockbox and your music back on the player.

GodEater:
If the connection to your PC doesn't work whether you run the original firmware or Rockbox, then is suggests the problem is with neither.

Either the USB hardware in the device is shot (most likely from what you describe), or the disk is playing up (less likely, since then I wouldn't expect you to be able to browse the files on it from either of the firmwares).
