Rockbox Freezes for 30mintues at a time!!

<< < (2/5) > >>

Ok, I've had partial success: But it still doesn't work....

It now boots up, but it takes forever. Actually, after the initial boot screen I still get a white screen. It stays white for several minutes and then finally shows the main menu.

Here's the kicker: I can scroll and choose menu items (like Sound, EQ, browse mp3 folders), but once I try to select a specific item (like an .mp3 or EQ preset) the thing locks up. It simply freezes. I try leaving it for a while thinking that it will eventually move on - but it doesn't. No buttons work, even the power button. I finally have to hit the battery switch.

To clarify what works and what doesn't:

I can change the time, bass/treble, and browse directories.

I can't select specific settings or files: EQ presets & .mp3's.

I'm sure there's more that works/doesn't work - but I think that's enough to get us going.
-----------------------

To aid in trouble shooting, Here's exactly what I did (this time):

-Turned on player and confirmed that the 1/13 image/build works. It did.

-I then downloaded a fresh copy of the March 12 bootloader and today's build (4-17).

-I then deleted the original bootloader file and copied the new one over in it's place.

-I extracted today's build into the root directory of my GB, overwriting all files.

-I then turned off the battery switch (with USB still plugged in to avoid the codec failures that happen immediately after unplugging the USB)

-Counted to 10 (twice). and switched on the player.

-It boots up as normal, stays on a white screen for several mintues and then finally shows the main menu. Browsing works, but it locks up when choosing specific files or settings.

-Hit battery switch to reboot.

Llorean:
Why didn't you properly eject your device from USB? And why didn't you power down the player *before* turning off the battery switch? The drive could've still been accessing.

If unplugging the USB causes you codec failures, this strongly suggests that you're getting some sort of file corruption from doing it.

Mozhoven1:
I did it that way because it was different than all previous attempts (at this point, different is good...)

But, I tried it again, with the proper USB disconnect with the same results. I'm able to boot up and browse, but it locks up upon selecting any specific item.

That being said, I choose "database", and allowed it to "build database". This took a while and then it asked for a reboot. After doing that, when I rebooted, it simply hung on the main Rockbox Logo screen (not bootsplash.raw, but before that...)

(FYI: no codec failures this time, but I didn't have a song playing before I updated the daily build/bootloader...)

Mad Cow:
Have you tried reformatting with the reformat tool that comes with gigabeat room?

Mozhoven1:
No, I haven't tried it because I can't see a need for it (also because I'd rather not copy over 40gigs of music again!)

Reformatting accomplishes the same result as simply deleting the system files and re-copying them over. (which I've done many times to no avail...)

That being said, if all else fails, I might be forced to start from scratch.

But certainly there must be a fix for this.... :'(
