Rockbox on a YH-820

(1/3) > >>

musicismyname:
can anyone help me please I had formatted my samsung YH-820 mp3 player in windows XP. but now I want to rebuild it again the recovery utility program which came with it says no device connected but it is. as I see the drive letter and can access the player. but if I add songs manually then boot all I get on screen is connect to PC and upgrade firmware. but how can I

so I am wondering if someone here can do me step to step instructions on how to put Rockbox on this player I tried the Automatic install but it wont download the rockbox bootloader

Sure, since your player is missing important system files. Rockbox Utility requires the player to be working, and if you formatted the hard drive (which is usually a bad idea!) the system files are missing. You need to restore the player first.

What filesystem have you formatted the player with?

musicismyname:
I formatted the YH 820  on windows xp with FAT32 as it was the only option. I wished now I had backed up all the files. there is a recovery utility with the player but like I have said all it keeps saying is no device connected please connect the device and try again. but it is connected. as I can access it and see the drive letter the samsung bootloader says v2.10 if this helps I tried to put RockBox on it but it wont download the bootloader

Hope you can help me bluebrother  on getting this going. as I have tried loads of places on the net, but to no avail

bluebrother:
Try to create the necessary folders manually and place the Rockbox bootloader on the player as described in http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SamsungYH92xPort#Installation. Then install a Rockbox build.

Hi bluebrother thks for replying, but do you mean place rockbox folders on the samsung YH 820 like this below also where is the samsung bootloader then as it only says

Hi again update to this PM I have renamed the rockbox.mi4  file in the rockbox-samsungyh820.zip dir to FW_YH820.mi4 made a folder called system placed the renamed rockbox.mi4 file as FW_YH820.mi4 to that folder. now it boots into rockbox menu, but something is not right as it says installation incomplete, no rockbox directory
