Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility
SOLVED: doesn't install on iRiver H340
rbergen:
I don't know exactly what I did, but after deleting, re-installing and reflashing with a different version of the OF, I now have a working Rockbox installation on my H340! (If someone had told me 5 years ago that I would be playing Doom on it, I would have had them committed to a mental institute...)
Thanks a lot for your help!

I recently picked up an Iriver H340 in a car boot and I would love to figure out how to install Rockbox. Thing is, not matter how manner times I read the manual for installing Rockbox it frightens the life out of me, its seems so damn technical. Any chance as youve already managed it successfully you could help an old codger like me? the only thing I know for sure is that I already have 1.29EU firmeware already on it. I would love someone to take me through it step by step without getting too techy.

Anything specific that scares you? Installation is rather simple: you get the original firmware file, run Rockbox Utility's installation and point it to that file when asked. Rockbox Utility will patch the original firmware file and place the result on the player. Then perform the firmware upgrade of the player and you're done. The only known issue is that some players require flashing the firmware that gets placed on the player twice (seems in this case its been a bit more reluctant though).

Thanks a lot! You gave me the confidence I needed to have a go, and YEA! I have Rockbox up and running. It realy was easy after all. I think I was originally frightened off by reading the 'manual installation' instructions, when all I needed was the Automatic installation. Many thanks!! Loving Rockbox by the way!

If it doesnt, try another firmware version.

(I have similar sounding problem, H320 US.) Normal upgrade is always successful.
I've tried at least with 1.28-EU and 1.29-JP. I've always flashed twice. I also reverted back to 1.04 US firmware and again back to EU version. Should it matter which EU/JP/KR version I install first?
Btw, "Remove bootloader" option in the Utility gives "Rockbox Utility can not uninstall the bootloader on this target. Try a normal firmware update to remove the booloader", is that typical for H300 series or is it related to my problem?
