[Solved]: Looking for help: iRiver H140 with Toshiba MK2431GAH
torne:
If someone has such a binary we can probably host it somewhere for download until a proper fix can be found; given that we now enable LBA48 for all hard disk based players anyway, this is a patch that we don't mind :)

Thanks for the info!
--- Quote from: torne on September 08, 2011, 07:53:17 AM ---The current bootloader code is *definitely* broken; there is no point trying it at all, even if you have the ability to recover the device, unless you actually have some idea how to go about fixing it. It is guaranteed not to work.

I'm not planning to try right now. But if time moves on and there's still no binary coming up, I guess, now that I have the new drive and can't really use, I might grow an urge to try - given I had the assurance of being able to reanimate my drive. But right now that I have absolutely no idea what I would be doing there's no such urge whatsoever... :-)

Well, I was never thinking of someone building a bootloader just for me. Given the fact that this problem was talked about already in 2009 I thought there just MUST be such an bootloader out there somewhere... :'(

Well, I have seen that in this forum someone was able to use a 240 GB drive with a H340 with an selfbuilt bootloader. The post is over a year ago:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,24215.msg163767.html#msg163767
Unluckily, the guy hasn't posted since then and I tried to write him an email, but got an error.
So I wrote him an PM, asking if he would be so kind to send me his bootloader. But I'm not sure he will read it, since he hasn't logged in since a year.
I suppose theres no other way to contact him?
So we just can wait and hope.
torne:
The bootloader linked in his post is for an H300, but you could *probably* build a bootloader for H120 from the same revision of the source (applying the LBA48 patch) and it would hopefully work. He had r17607M-080522 so it's probably okay to check out r17607 from SVN, patch it to support large disks, and flash it (though we still can't guarantee that it's safe...)
If you do try this, let us know if it works. If the answer is that it doesn't, then, er, it's possible someone can recover it for you, but you may have to ship the device internationally :p
iRiverer:
Uh, the possibility of bricking the player and having to ship it internationaly is pretty pretty pretty scaring me...
Damn, think I have to wait some more time for heroes that already tried it.
