Exactly.

I need the older bootloader files? Not the v8 one?

That's in contrast to what @speachy wrote:

If that's correct: then I assume the files from [here](https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverBoot) are the wrong ones (the ones in the zip files are v8 and the others are v5 or v6)...

But let's assume I'd like to do that - how would I be able to do so (from a Linux system)?

Talleyrand:
Use this Link for the following instructions

1. Take the "bootloader.iriver" file from the 7pre4 (7pre5 is not working in my devices, so not recommended to try) and copy it in your ".rockbox" folder.
2. Follow the instructions under "Upgrading the bootloader"
3. Follow instructions under "Replacing the original firmware" (RAM+ROM)
4. Bootloader Config to "ROM" as default, instructions under "Bootloader configuration"
6. format CF/SD to FAT32
7. Copy your data from your old HDD to the freshly formatted FAT32 SD Card (".rockbox" and "ihp_1xx.hex"+ your files (music, ......)
8. swap HDD to SD Card
9. Enjoy

Exactly.

You will need a nightly build of rockbox as well; 3.15 predates the changes needed to make the iHP series happy with SSDs.

But 3.15 is working with a SD card and the adapters hes mentioning under his second approach...

linux4all:
Thanks to both of you for the hints - I have to admit that I didn't find [this page](https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverFlashing.html).

I updated Rockbox to the daily build (20240108) and followed the instructions in [this section](https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IriverFlashing.html#Upgrading_the_bootloader) but got the following error when trying to execute the `iriver_flash`-plugin on the file `bootloader.iriver`:

**Aborting: bootloader is invalid**.

This happend with both versions (7pre4 and 7pre5) of the bootloader.

Any ideas?
