Troubles with the firmware hacks
Soader03:
Awwwww god! My Gigabeat is briked... I copied all the download files, extracted all that, started the fw.exe file and did the update... But now, I start my gigabeat, see the blue bar progressing and see the message No System Found On HDD, and then, it starts again and again and again... Impossible to put the USB cable and reconize by the computer, please help!

I can't follow - you need to be more precise. What did you hope to achieve by running fw.exe? Which files did you copy where? What happened during the update?

From that description you are only missing the firmware files on the hard disk. This can be easily fixed. For example by following the instructions here:

Oh, thanks for the help, I'll do the recovery procedure...
When I run fw.exe, it extracts many files. In these files there is a file that do the update with a instruction guide. I runned that to see what will happen and I got that. I copied all the files in a file called "Test" in the root of the player. When The update was like at 99%, I got an error message saying if I wanted to delete the connection between the player and the PC, so I said yes.

Well the caption says: "Completely decomposed firmware upgrade 3.002US + disassembled ROM image (IDA 5.10)." This file is for analysis of the original firmware.

I can't seem to find such a file. Can you give the full path?

I can't see how that could result in the symptoms you describe.

What do you mean by "update" Copying the files to the test directory?
Soader03:
The file that does the update it's in \3.02US\ then a Toshiba installation guide...
