Help - recent builds disables LCD backlight on Gigabeat X60

[Ivanator]

Just to add a bit for info, the latest working build for the X series is the 2007-04-11 daily build. Hope this helps people.

Could someone confirm for me whether you are able to access USB with the newer builds?  For example when you upload one of the latest builds and the screen is off can you still plug usb in and connect to the player?

[kkurbjun]

Also, if someone is available to try and work out this problem could they PM me so that I can verify if a patch will fix the problems you are running into?

[Ivanator]

Yes, I still have USB access. In fact, that is how I reverted back to a working build. The rescue mode freezes while being loaded, so I can't actually go down that route. I'm not sure if these two are related problems.

kkurbjun has successfully corrected the error and everything appears to be stable on my X30.
Keep your eye out for his commits to SVN and then grab a bleeding edge build...and the required new bootloader to go with it. Everything should run successfully.

I can confirm that the latest build and bootloader works on my X60.

Thanks and good work guys!

okay i have a question about the new bootloader that you have tested and reported back that it works. when i used to download the bootloader it used to download a file but now when i try and download the 21st of april bootloader it takes me to a webiste with a bunch of weird writting on in.
Am i supposed to save that page and rename it to FWIMG01.DAT? if not what do i do with it

Are you downloading the bootloader from download.rockbox.org? If so, just right click on the file link and choose Save As

[Gigabeat_Luv3R]

i am getting the bootloader from here:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatFXPort#Installation_Instructions

and the bootloader link is:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/GigabeatFXPort?rev=4;filename=FWIMG01.DAT

So just to confirm, i right click on the bootloader link and press 'save as'

You need to get the bootloader from download.rockbox.org

For a few hours this morning, the new bootloader was only available on the wiki, and not on download.rockbox.org, but now everything is as it should be - the version on download.rockbox.org is now the most up to date.
