Which, by the way, is explained and linked in our manual:


--- Quote ---Rockbox Utility will ask you for a compatible copy of the original firmware. This is because for legal reasons we cannot distribute the bootloader directly. Instead, we have to patch the Iriver firmware with the Rockbox bootloader.

Download a supported version of the Iriver firmware for your Iriver iHP100, iHP115, iHP120, iHP140, H120 and H140 from the Iriver website, links can be found on IriverBoot.

You already got a link to the manual and Rockbox Utility shows a link to the correct page as well. Please do your homework first and read the actual error messages / program dialogs. They have been put there for a reason.

Many thanks for the pointers gentlemen.

However,the install is way too complicated and having seen the various disclaimers in RED TYPE on the website i have decided to call a halt on the install which is a shame really because the Rockbox software appears to be superior to the standard I-River package, also i was mildly put off by the attitude of a developer who seems to think that everybody will be on his 'level' straight away,not everybody is a software developer matey!!!  ;).

Well it's a case of 'if it ain't broke,don't try to fix it' for me, I have a ihp 120 and 140 which both work perfectly and have done so for many years,why take the risk of losing it all.

Kind Regards
