iriver H340 with 240GB drive - success!
sordup:
torne - Thanks again for chiming in here!
In regards to the bootloader question, following pwhodges lead:
"I have acquired a collection of updated H300 bootloaders that various people have published briefly; the one I used is r17607M-080522, but I now have no idea who made it (you can download it here, at your own risk, etc, etc)."
I download the "fixed" bootloader, then how do I install it exactly? Haven't done this in a while and can't remember. This isn't what is flashed to memory, is it?
and then...
"Of course, I updated the bootloader before taking the old disk out!"
What do you think he means here? Isn't this "new" bootloader already updated? Is it necessary to do this (update bootloader) with the old disk installed?
Having done this then, Rockbox 3.6 can be installed and we'd be good to go? No compiling nor the added code necessary, yes?
I am obviously planning ahead with this in case there is no fix with my drive problem that you are already helping me with here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=25856.0
torne:
When he says update he means installing it over the one that doesn't support large drives, not replacing it with a newer one. You need to do this before you replace the drive.
sordup:
To install the bootloader is simply copying the hex file to the drive, is that correct? Or is it flashing it to memory somehow?
As i said, can't remember.
torne:
You copy the hex file onto the player and then when you disconnect, it flashes the contents of the file to the player's flash, if I remember correctly.
Edit: OK, I don't remember correctly, see peteswensson's later post for the instructions.
zcream:
I hope Paul comes back to this topic. The Rockbox FAQ states that its hard to access more than 128Gb. Is that no longer a problem ?
Also, would you mind posting the final image of rockbox that you used ? With the bootloader and rockbox, it should be easy enough.
