Whenever I turn off the player with the battery switched on and an ac adapter plugged in, the next start, player formats everything and asks for new firmware. I also found that I can't, for the life of me, use sendfirm to install the bootloader if the battery is switched on.

I bought used so it might be an HDD issue, but it's strange that the issue only comes up under specific circumstances. I'll replace it, and reply.

How many times has this happened? Does it happen *every* time for you? Do you know what original firmware version is installed on your DAP?

We are trying to diagnose exactly what causes the Gigabeat to reformat :)

it happens EVERY time. under those exact conditions. I'll have it install w/o the battery switch on, but after the switch is flipped it'll format itself a boot later.

version 2.11 632
platform 1.2 632.4


EDIT: ahh.... It must have been some corrupt firmware I was working with. I found v1.3 nk.bin here:

patched it, and now I'm rockboxing.

Hi...

Old thread...but just found it....

And YES...it is normal for the OF to let the battery discharge rather rapidly if you don't switch off the battery.

And yes, the OF had a tendency to reformat the disk (OF error #4 I think it was) if the battery got to zero and you turned the unit on....  Was a number of references to this on the old Gigabeat.com (private, non-toshiba) site that seemingly has gone away.

Thanks for all the hard work on this port.  My S60 is fun to use again !!
