SAMSUNG YH-920

[lebellium]

Hi,
I read the whole thread but is there an easy way to try rockbox on a YH-820 for people who are not familiar with SVN? Am I obliged to create my own bootloader and build? Cant' it be shared?

You should first try the rbutil. I don't know if binary in the wiki are actual.

EDIT: The wiki page lists support for the yh devices.

[lebellium]

Yes, it should work but I don'y know how to install the Rbutil patch for YH support 

[yapper]

The patch you mentioned was closed almost a month ago, so it should be included in the latest version of Rockbox Utility

[lebellium]

hmm I use Rbutil v1.2.2 and in the settings I can't select my mp3 player as there is no "Samsung" choice. And Autodetect doesn't work. So what do I have to do?

[saratoga]

You can't use rbutil since:

1)  The last release is from June
2)  We haven't released bootloaders so even if you compile an updated version it still won't work.

You need to compile your own bootloader, and then install it manually.  AFAIK the install procedure is identical to the H10 (copy to system folder, rename accordingly).  See the H10 manual if this doesn't make sense.

[lebellium]

Ok. And to compile my own bootloader I'm obliged to use SVN, right? I thought that would be easier now since some people have already done it before. I set up SVN on my computer but I can't even execute it... A black window pops up and then nothing...Well using this software is a bit too harder for me.
I'll wait for an easier rockbox install procedure on the YH-820

I tested the latest code abd low_lights fm support patch but i didn't got good results.
There seems to be sound but i can't play files and  i didn't get radio sound.

Does anyone have the link to the paste, or the patch itself, which low_light posted a few days ago in IRC which fixes the screen rotation issues on yh925? I can't seem to find it in the logs.

[lowlight]

kugel: It's here: http://drop.io/low_light

lebellium: I've added compiled bootloaders to http://drop.io/low_light. If you test, make sure you get the right one. I suggest you don't overwrite the original firmware file, but rename it to OF.mi4, just in case.

pyro_maniac: You get sound for playback with SVN, right? The radio patch doesn't switch back and forth properly between playback and radio.

Thanks, I committed it. The PP&AMS bootloader branch holds releasable bootloader now. As soon as someone builds them on the download servers, I'd like to "support" the yh925 at least.

How are the other targets? Are their bootloaders ready to go?

First of all you guys are great!
I thougt that this would bring my YH-925GS to life.
I upgraded my yh-925GS (a long time ago) to the firmware 5.30 US JN.
And the bootloader is 5.01. This caused the losse of FM radia and also theability to transfer whitout an application (MPT mode)
I have tried to downgrade my player via USB mode but all it say is firmware corrupte.
The same thing happens if i try your newly built bootloader.
I am no good at compiling myself, is there a way to solve this?

Best regards Nichlas

BTW: the firmware name is not FW_YH925.mi4 on my player, it is F_YH925J.mi4 (or bootloader, i dont know..)

Rockbox doesn't support MTP, and if you look at the wiki you'll note that FM radio isn't working yet.

So this is a 925 with radio hardware. Maybe you can upload your firmware and bootloader file to let us see wich file names are allowed for this bootloader.

@lowlight: yes i had sound on the yh-920 but only with your fm patch. I am wondering because without this patch rockbox gets freezed on playback.

[Nichlas]

I dont know how to upload or accsses the bootloader, but i wish i did. If anyone can help me i would be thankfull.

Anyway, here are the filename and a link to my current firmware that dosent allow FM support:
F_YH925J.mi4

Before this firmware i think i had a firmware called FW_YH925.mi4
but i have no idea of the previous bootloaderversion. I updated it years ago.
