Gigabeat F firmware hacking information
Mad Cow:
This is for the F-series firmware. The X-series are a bit different, so they probably have a different firmware, or they use different parts of the same firmware. Either way there's nothing you can do unless you know as much about the firmware(s) as shoora.

Okay I'm a little apprehensive here because I edited the bootsplash properly, uploaded it to the Gigabeat but got a system error which forced me to do the Gigabeat Recovery Procedure (something I don't want to do again). Weird thing is the image I made is currently the bootsplash...
I really would like this to work so I have a few questions:
1) Where does the update folder go exactly?
I originally placed it in the root, I think, but it seems like it goes in the GBSYSTEM folder.
2) Do I just copy-paste the update folder as is (according to gigabeatF_firmware_hacks_V3.zip), along with the edited hd-graphic+crc and the rest of those other files?
Or do I just have to copy-paste the update folder with only the edited hd-graphic+crc inside?
Thank you.

What I did was place the update folder in the root with all the files intact. It didn't update the first time, but after a restart and a long time waiting it updated with a custom bootsplash and a lower power button holding time.

Are you absolutely certain? When I did that I got a system error and had to open up my Gigabeat to fix it.
Mad Cow:
Actually, no. But I do remember that it didn't work on the first try, I might have had to open it, but it did update properly eventually.
