Are you saying that the patched v1.8 firmware image doesn't work on your EROS Q (which already has v1.?

What is the error?

As for installing Rockbox, current development version of Rockbox Utility supports it. There are test binaries available, see the sticky in the Rockbox Utility forum. Shouldn't hurt if that's actually tried (I'm also planning to update those binaries soonish for an even more current experience )

installed rockbox. its better but there is a pop sound during audio format change of tracks.

Sounds like the audio hardware powering off and back on. These amp boards im using need a source connected all the time. Else there is hiss like u get from cable being not being plugged into source device or a bit like the pop sound from jack plug being pushed into device while amp switched on. Quite annoying and not good enough to use as a audio player for events .

I guess its a bug during audio file format change? flac to ogg for example

Perhaps also add setting to keep audio hardware on all the time? so for events, even when not playing music, no audio hardware turn on/off output connect pop.

brill! looking forward to it. Had a look at trying to compile it but in end easier to install manually but a new official release with binarys, would be fantastic!

Testing out usb flash drive support . Great to a have such a feature at last!! Looking forward to day of hot plug and unplug of different drives.

I just updated the development binaries mentioned (at least for Windows and macOS). There's no official release yet, but this is getting close. If you run into issues with them please post in the Rockbox Utility forum, I might miss if it's here.

Thanks! Snag is i don't use windows or mac. At least the last few xduuo x3on ebay, will be easier for people to flash.

I have been trying to mess with the Hifi Walker H2 1.2 firmware file to try and get it to flash over 1.3.
Unfortunately i'm not positive as to where in the binary is the version enclosed that the updater checks.
I also mailed to ask for the 1.3 firmware file, but no response.

Unfortunately i'm not positive as to where in the binary is the version enclosed that the updater checks.

The "update.upt" image is actually an ISO9660 filesystem.  If you open it up, you'll find (among other things) a file called 'version.txt', and inside that are model id and version that the updater is expecting/checking.

To figure this out we need to open up one of these v1.3 H2 players, get to the serial console, and dump/extract the updater image from the flash.  From there, we can discern what the updater is looking for.

What do i look out for on git commits to know if there's updates in the daily builds for this player or usb host support? I searched usb,aigo,eros,etc and didn't see anything related recently. Assuming no little updates recently. Will patiently wait.

Oh i know dont ask for updates rule... feel free to delete! Sorry!

A few hours of work later, I was able to extract the v1.3 firmware from flash, and generated a patched v1.3 update image with the rockbox bootloader:

   http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/hifiwalker/H2-v13-patched.upt

Note that this is *not* compatible with the v1.2 players.

I tried the 1.3 firmware (I mean the http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/hifiwalker/H2-v13-patched.upt) but my player (with firmware onboard 1.3) does not recognize it.
I copied the file in the root of the card and I launched the update from the menu.
It says that no firmware is available.
Any hint?
Thanks!

Rename the file to update.upt
