Hello, I have bought a second hand iRiver H120. I installed Rockbox with the Utility, when asked I select the iRiver firmware version "ihp_120-1.66-EU.hex". Utility then seems to perform the necessary installation steps. I switch the H120 out, then on again, and select firmware upgrade from the menue. Display says "upgrade running, don't touch" or something like that.
But then after rebooting, I always get the iRiver screen and the player booting into 1.66 E - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Rockbox with the Utility, no change.
Screen shows several folders and playlists, but only a low number of files because the iRiver firmware does not recognize flac files (which I have loaded on the H120).
I have a second H120 player where the Rockbox installation (years ago) worked, what could I overlook???
Thanks
Bernie

Got it working!!!!
Bottom of the line: the automatic installation with the utility did not work - because it apparently placed just the unpatched FW on the H120 disk.
With "fwpatcher.exe" I could patch the original FW, and with the now correct (= patched) version the FW- update worked and the iRiver now boots into Rockbox!
Yesssssssss!
Because the reason I have the iRiver is the flac support...
Cheers
