Surfans F20 w/ v2.7 firmware: Clarification on state of support?
Abscissa:
Thanks for the pointers! (sry, no pun intended, although I'd be willing to pretend otherwise...)
Sounds interesting. Obviously I can't promise anything, whether it be results, having the time to even dig into this at all, or just receiving a v2.7 unit in the first place (although it seems unlikely I wouldn't get one, I would think.) But I'd like to try my hand at it if I can get the chance... (Been awhile since the last time anything technical happened to intrigue me.) As this discussion seems to be taking a technical lean, I'll be sure to direct any further follow-up to the "Starting Development" section of the forum (unless otherwise directed).

A couple of months ago I occidentally blew away my "rockbox stash" which included my collection of hiby-based firmware files and the scripts I used to patch everything in one go.
I'm not sure if this will successfully update or not, but give it a go and let me know what happens:

Works for me!!
Just tried it. Flashing it seemed to work fine. The OEM "Hiby" (non-rockbox) player reports v2.7. I can successfully boot into either that, or rockbox, or the "tools". And both the headphone AND line-out jacks work and output music in both hiby and rockbox! Whoohoo!

Sorry to flog a dead horse, but is it possible to send a new link for
https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rb-F20-v27.upt
I'm just getting around to flashing my F20 and that link is dead. I tried flashing with
https://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/surfans/F20-v27-patched.upt
but I must be doing something wrong as RockBox doesn't load. I also tried searching for the original firmware for the F20 but am not having any luck there as well. I'm leaning more to
me doing something wrong....
Thanks!!

Just a wild guess, when you start up the player, do you get a selection screen asking if you want to boot Rockbox? If so, you did everything correctly so far but it's not finding the .rockbox folder on your SD card to load from - Grab it from here https://download.rockbox.org/daily/aigoerosq/rockbox-aigoerosq-20230124.zip and extract the zip file to the root of your SD card. (You might need to enable "Show Hidden Files" in order to see it.)
