Gigabeat F firmware hacking information

--- Quote from: Mad Cow on July 29, 2007, 09:22:50 PM ---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, thanks for the reply. I'll have to wait until someone else who has a x30 and who has the ability/time to do something similar then.
Peace.
Phalangees:
Sorry for the bump but I have a question.
Do I just copy the update folder to the root of my gigabeat? Will that update folder have the 2 patches installed and the custom bootsplash?
Mad Cow:
No, you have to do the patching yourself.
Phalangees:
So the update folder is actually the raw update files that are provided with the 3.0US update? Has anyone fully bricked their gigabeat doing this yet or will I be ok if I just stick with changing the bootsplash and power on times?

I wouldn't recommend it. I got really scared when I tried changing the bootsplash and power button timer and it rejected the update. After a few restarts and some time waiting it finally updated, but the screen was all screwy during the update, which also scared me. You should update to that version before patching.
