iRiver iHP-120 - "USB mode" on every time without being linked with the cable

Unfortunately I can't give you any help on this, but I have a similar problem I just posted in this thread.

Seems like I have going through the same processes like you and by know I also think it's a problem related to the Flash or something of the fixed firmware.

Anyways, keep posting when you've had any luck, so will I...

Apologies for not seeing this earlier guys, but LinusN actually wrote a patch to disable USB connection/disconnection quite a while back (aka pabouks option 'b' above) that should work around your problem...let me see if I can find it...

edit: ahh...found the patch (attached)...but can't find the original post discussing it ('twas around Oct '05). Not sure if it'll work with the current builds, but you might like to give it a shot.

nls:
If the bootloader detects usb connect and enters "usb mode" it will never boot rockbox so the patch will unfortunately not help.

Hrmm...am curious why it worked for me then. Older version of the bootloader I wonder?

call me a noob, but what do i do with this file?

I'm having the same problem, except for me rockbox is permanently in USB mode. Sometimes I get the normal file list, but as soon as I press any button, it's back to USB mode. Oddly enough, only about half the time it actually boots to the bootloader. But there's more...

This all happened when I plugged in my USB cable a few days ago. I haven't actually done this in ages, but i had to download a few recordings. Everything was working fine, so I plugged in my USB cable. Drive pops up in windows, i open it and suddenly it disappears. I look down at my player and it's still in USB mode, and has been ever since. My computer doesn't even detect it anymore. However, sometimes when I plug it in, i get 10-20 seconds of reading and writing to the hard drive, and then it disconnects. This only happens sometimes when I plug in the USB cable.

As strange as it sounds, what I've been doing so far is constantly unplugging and replugging in my USB cable to download a few measly files. Something is odd though, since it's only recognized  when I plug in the cable. However, if I leave the cable in there, it doesn't appear and disappear as I'd expect if this were a phasic occurance. My access to the hard drive has something to do with inserting the cable. But other than that, i have no clue.
