Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Trying to play tracks crashes with current dev build on iPod mini 2nd Gen
« Last post by iPodVT on February 10, 2025, 08:05:11 PM »This evening I used Rockbox Utility to update my iPod mini 2nd Gen's installation of dev build a7cfee640d-240908 to the current dev build 2c1d31fcd9-250210. After rebooting into the new dev build I was unable to play any tracks - neither via the Database nor via the File Browser. On my first try with via Database the iPod froze so I hard rebooted (Menu+Select) and tried the File Browser and that gave me this crash screen:
Data abort at 0001ca6c
pc: 0001ca6c
sp: 4000b660
A: 00031168
A: 0002e130
A: 00017150
A: 00017db8
bt end
So then I reverted to my backup of a7cfee640d-240908 and was able to play tracks as normal via both the Database and the File Browser.
Then I used Rockbox Utility again to do a clean install of 2c1d31fcd9-250210 instead of updating a7cfee640d-240908. Rather than rebuilding the Database, I just tried running from the File Browser. This time the crash screen displayed a slight variation from the previous one above:
Data abort at 0001ca74
pc: 0001ca74
sp: 4000b660
A: 00031168
A: 0002e130
A: 00017150
A: 00017db8
bt end
Then I rebooted and tried building the database for the clean-installed dev build, and the iPod froze.
This iPod has an iFlash SD-CF with a 256GB Samsung Pro Plus microSD in an SD adapter.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Re: ipod 5.5 rockbox bootloader screen
« Last post by makeprop on February 10, 2025, 06:18:56 PM »Ok looks like the iTunes thing was just rubbish apple software - i reverted back to 12.10.11 and uninstalled/cleared all itunes folders and now iTunes can read the iPod.
I suspect windows might have done some blockage on the software because its multiple attempts to read dead and slow drives might have set w10 to do some optimising?
Anyway at least I'm down to a narrower problem of rockbox on the 5G vids.

Hardware / Re: Trouble with volume limit on Iriver H340
« Last post by sivainvi on February 10, 2025, 01:55:56 PM »The gain on the headphone output varies between devices. I forget what the h300 is but there is no reason to expect it to be the same as the h10 since the hardware is different.
Yes. Any other information you need?

« Last post by speachy on February 10, 2025, 09:50:02 AM »Hmm, this was a bit of a head scratcher.
Turns out the hardware "charging" status is actually a "battery is not fully charged" flag; we have to check to see if power is being supplied first.
Tonight's build will have this fixed.

« Last post by RomanB on February 10, 2025, 04:46:32 AM »Hallo.
I recently update my Xduoo X3 player (after aproximately 7-8 months) and notice that battery status is not corect.
System information show still battery status: charging (when player is not conect to charger) and when battery has 3.66V it show only 5% (3.91V is only 33%).
Do somebody have idea what could be wrong? Thans very much.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Re: ipod 5.5 rockbox bootloader screen
« Last post by makeprop on February 09, 2025, 06:58:58 PM »ok I removed the adaptor and moved it to another iPod 5.5 that is also a V9M that was booting fine on a (now dead) HDD rockbox, and it is giving me the same error.
So I'm not sure where to look here really.

Apple - Installation/Removal / ipod 5.5 rockbox bootloader screen
« Last post by makeprop on February 09, 2025, 06:44:37 PM »hi all,
So I have a 5.5G here (V9M) with a 128gb FC1307A CF adaptor and cheapo adaptor to ZIF.
I manually restored it because iTunes wouldn't detect it nor gtkpod, but windows/linux detect it as a drive fine and show the folders and everything as well as read the partitions fine. When I restored it manually it boots and loads the iPod firmware fine.
The serial number matches the plate on the back
When I installed rockbox it went fine, except the very first install crashed when the install progres bar reached 100% from an error on no themes selected, but other subsequent attempts (of reformatting, started the iPod again and installing the bootloader) completed fine. A manual installation of the bootloader was also attempted but the same screen upon the first boot popped up.
I also tried the daily and developmental build.
It says:
I tried also using the Tarkan iFlash adaptor thinking maybe it was my adaptor but this made no difference.
I will try again tomorrow with another CF adaptor. (both of these adpators worked on a mini 1G and a 4g as I noted in another post).
One thing i might try are different firmware versions - is this something that is worthwhile do you all think?
I will also attempt this on a known working original HDD. The ZIF hdd that was in here was dead.
