Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility
Unable to get rockbox/iriver firmware working on Iriver H140
gloco:
I just tried installing rockbox, it's on the player, but upon booting up into rockbox it still gets stuck at the first screen (shows bootloader v6, battery life) and it just hangs.
Any ideas?
GOT IT! After reading this thread: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=29476.0
I formatted the drive to fat32 and bam, rockbox worked fine. This should definitely be a standard thing mentioned in the rockbox utility, unless I missed it somewhere. :)

Hmm, how? Rockbox Utility doesn't format the player so the only thing it can do is to assume you haven't reformatted the player with a wrong filesystem. Though the current development version of Rockbox Utility will do some filtering based on the filesystem. I guess exfat needs some handling there as well.

I used this program: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
I had the drive formatted to NTFS and that was a no-go apparently. Once I formatted it to fat32 rockbox installed and booted up right up with no issues. I didn't try exFat, so I can't speak for it.
