Gigabeat F firmware hacking information
Phalangees:
Well I changed my bootsplash and power on time. I already had updated to 3.0US before I found out about rockbox so nothing went to bad. I had a problem because I had to do the recovery procedure because it just did the update every time it booted up so I had to delete the update folder manually. No big deal though and it was worth it I think for my awesome bootsplash,
Mad Cow:
Yea it's sop worth it, but it's annoying how the power button time doesn't change on the charging screen.
Job Van Dam:
Man we gotta find out how to properly update our GB's with these tools. I fear that recovery procedure like the plague. I went through the same thing you did Phalangees.
I tried PMing the creator and another guy in this thread who used the tools and still haven't heard back from them.
I still want to apply that Power button patch, change my bootsplash images and the recharging images again as well.
So you guys think the update folder shouldn't be going in the root? I mean it does eventually update the thing just not properly to the point you have to do the dreaded recovery procedure.
Also my update folder contained... ah jeez I don't remember if I put all the files or just the files I updated. Phalangees do you remember if you put all the update files in the update folder or just the ones you updated/changed?
I also used the FWIMG's and other Gigabeat system files that were located in the zip file I downloaded from the creator's Rapidshare page.
Mad Cow:
I think the update doesn't go perfectly because the creator's encrypting code isn't perfect, so it confuses the BL a bit.
Phalangees:
I actually don't mind doing the recovery procedures anymore. I've done it so many times. I actually do it for fun some times. :P
I got lucky. I don't know exactly how I got the update to work. I had update folders in all the main folders and I had replaced all of the OF. So I really don't know what I did that worked but I got it to. I just read through this entire thread to get an idea of how to do it.
