iRiver h320 OEM firmware

[Granite]

Hi, I'm looking for the latest available OEM firmware for my iRiver h320.

The h320 Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iriver_H300_series) says that the European version goes up to 1.31, but I've only been able to find 1.29 on opendrivers.com and the same on a mirror of the misticriver firmware repository (http://rasher.dk/rockbox/iriver-firmwares/).

The relevant Rockbox page (https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverBoot) has a broken link to the 1.30 firmware hosted on iriver.com, with the warning that that file is actually 1.29.

Does anyone know if 1.30 or 1.31 are available anywhere?

Thanks

You can download 1.31 with the wayback machine for the iriver site: https://web.archive.org/web/20070105172926if_/http://service.iriver.co.kr:80/cs_down_ok.asp?path=1&idx=711&p_name=H320 but it is an *.exe file and I don't know if it is valid. I also found this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7z2DypmySvnWENHSHhPQkJxc2s/view and it is a zipped hex-file that should be ok.

That's great. Thanks, cereal_killer. The one from the Way back Machine seems to be the Korean version. Is this in English or Korean language?

I don't know but I'd expect it to at least default to Korean, and it may have the different FM radio settings (range and channel spacing/start frequency) - possibly not an issue for you but just to let you know.

I do have what claims to be the 1.30 EU version in my archive but as noted on one of the pages I expect it to be the 1.29 - I never used the native firmware, I patched the bootloader the old way (pre the GUI utility) as soon as I'd charged it out of the box...

Thanks, cereal_killer. Have you been using your h320 since release? I was given one as a present in early 2005, but it was sadly stolen a couple of years later. At the time I replaced it with a Zune 80. The Zune was good, but lacked several features and a good deal of the iRiver's of charm. It was also dependent on proprietary software. I just bought a replacement h320 on ebay. I love the drag and drop system, I had it up and running with my own music in about 5 minutes. I'm not sure how hard it is to get the Zune software up and running, but I've read that the Sonic Stage software for NetMD is a bit of nightmare to get going on a modern computer.

Not cereal_killer, but if you were asking me I had my H320 from new - in about 2006, and put Rockbox on it immediately, I'd had rockbox on an H120 for a good while already running rockbox.

Whilst this project is not as active as it was I can thoroughly recommend it - so much better than the original firmware on all the players that I've had and it dual boots if you find you don't like it, and of course it can also do the simple drag and drop.

Is this in English or Korean language?

I am running 1.31 K with dualboot function on my H340 and I use English language. You can chose between the Tuner Regions Korea, Japan, Europe and U.S.A. There are the following menus available: Music, Radio, Record, Text, Picture, Video, Game (which as far as I know is new in 1.31 and is the game Minesweeper) and Browser. Quick List is also new in 1.31 K, which is a Playlist function.

Check the release notes which you have to translate to English: https://web.archive.org/web/20080326192915/http://service.iriver.co.kr/cs_down_view.asp?idx=711&p_name=H320&p_group_cd=3&SrchItem=&SrchString=&SrchProduct=&page=1

I can't remember how I rockboxed it (utility or manually) but Rockbox works great even with the remote (what the Cowon X5 doesn't, and what I have to investigate more, but this is a different story).

Multiplex, it's great that you're still enjoying your h320 after all these years. My brother had an h120, so I know that's a good machine too (and has the optical output!). I'll definitely check out Rockbox dual boot - gapless alone is enough to tempt me.

Thanks again for your help, cereal_killer. I noticed that the remote works with rockbox - very cool!

As far as it was possible, I updated the direct links to the iriver firmware on the wiki: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverBoot#Direct_links_for_H320_and_H340.
