Hardware / Re: AIGO EROS Q / AIGO EROS K / IRULU Surfans F20 / AGPTek H3 / HIFI WALKER H2
« Last post by dconrad on July 08, 2025, 09:29:17 AM »Right, a fair bit of progress...
I have successfully installed Rockbox on the H2! This included saving the original bootloader .bin file somewhere safe. I must say it was a relief to see the familiar Rockbox menu!
And I can report that with the output mode set to 'Line out', I do indeed get output from that jack, and can play on the Car's Aux input!
Somewhat strangely, I am not not sure if the Headphone output works correctly. 'Auto' switching doesn't seem to work for the Line out socket, at least, I will experiment a bit further.
I was mis-understanding one thing ... on the Xduoo X3ii port, the Rockbox bootloader allows booting into either the original (HiBy) firmware, or Rockbox firmware. That doesn't seem to be the case for this H2 bootloader, is that correct?
And I have realised that nothing has happened to the original H2 v2.0 firmware, I presume it is still living in Flash on the H2. So if I were to want to revert, I just have to use the recovery menu and re-flash the original bootloader image I saved (renamed...), and the H2 will boot into stock v2.0 firmware. Correct?
Thanks a lot for all of this - at the very least it has answered my original question - it is some sort of issue with the stock v2.0 firmware not switching correctly - and it has got me up to speed with Rockbox installation on the H2.
Thanks a lot for your help with this.
Regards, jon N
Good deal! You can boot into the stock firmware by holding Play while booting, or the bootloader menu by holding Volume Up while booting.

Hardware / Re: Sansa Fuze+ completely unresponsive after attempting to sync RB 4.0

I will see what happens if I let the battery completely discharge then plug it into a computer. Really hoping I can get this thing running again.

« Last post by Kai1992 on July 08, 2025, 12:21:39 AM »Firstly thank you for responding. I am going to t try just as you say and hope for the best. Now I do have one question. As I was perusing the forum I came across someone in a similar predicament with a Fuze+ who after leaving the unit plugged into power for several days came back to a working device.
After 3 days of discharging and plugging into a computer I get no response should I try the leaving plugged in route? I am not quite sure why that worked for the other user.

« Last post by Frankenpod on July 07, 2025, 03:20:10 PM »Having just reoppened another modded ipod (to upgrade it), I find it has all Integral 512GB cards, but three of them are marked as "A1" and one as "A2" (not sure how I ended up buying different grade cards when I built this one, it's all lost in the mists of time!). Curiously the A1 cards are like the Sansa cards in actual capacity, while the A2 ones are the lower 461GiB I found with other Integral cards. Except for one A1 card that, strangely, comes out in between the two.
Integral A1 476.95 GiB
Integral A1 464.25 GiB
Integral A2 461.19 GiB
Integral A1 476.95 GiB
Again, only reporting it in case it's of any use to anyone else working out what cards to use for a flash mod.

Hardware / *PANIC* (4.0)
« Last post by Kevlarhabanero on July 07, 2025, 02:21:19 PM »Had Rockbox installed earlier today on my IPOD Mini 2nd Generarion, wanted to then add themes. Somehow the screen is reading *PANIC* (4.0)
Mount:0 on first two lines on screen. I can't get Rock Box Utility to see the iPod and I can't shut iPod down or reboot it. Would appreciate help here.

Hardware / Sansa Fuze+ completely unresponsive after attempting to sync RB 4.0
« Last post by Kai1992 on July 07, 2025, 12:54:57 PM »I hvae used Music Bee to maintain my library in the past. I was quite excited and got a Fuze+ off of ebay and put rockbox on it right away. I had an sd card out of my previous player and dropped it into the Fuze+ and was fine for a couple of days. When I went to finally actually add some new music I attempted to sync the sd card via music bee it would stick infinitely saying scanning files never actually beginning to sync.
I thought to attempt syncing while in the OF to see what happened there. Well when I attempted this the OF once plugged in quickly showed the sd card was not formatted right then kind of flashed through a series of screens to fast to tell what happened and shut off. I quickly unplugged it and then plugged it in once again and now it was showing a rockbox screen black with maybe 5 0r 6 lines of text saying something about a bootloader mode and some other various statistics like battery level and the like. long story short once the Fuze+ was unplugged after this it is completely unresponsive to all button presses.
I cannot enter recovery mode and no length of power holding does anything nor can I enter the OF boot up. Holding volume down while powering does nothing. Holding volume up while plugging in does nothing. I am quite disappointed because I had over the two days I had the unit running rockbox become fond of it and had finally got the touchpad sensitivity to where I liked and was getting used to it. Any help would be appreciated and I hope the player is not a total loss. Thank you all in advance!
