Rockbox Utility / Re: Rockbox Utility and Hi Fi Walker H2

« Last post by dconrad on Today at 07:58:02 PM »

Just as a few points to sanity check:

What version of Rockbox Utility are you using?
I'm sure you've already tried the "Refresh" button to the right of the drop-down?
And the SD card is in the player, right?

(You'll laugh, but it's good to do a sanity check...)

Rockbox Utility / Rockbox Utility and Hi Fi Walker H2

« Last post by cdavis2260 on Today at 04:08:09 PM »

i connected my Hi Fi Walker H2 and ran the Rockbox Utility in order to install Rockbox. The microSD card showed up on F: However the Rockbox Utility only read G and I tried to eject it and ejection failed. I could not change it to F. It did not see F in the dropdown. I have a PC with Windows 10. It gives me a mountpoint error. Mountpoint does not exist. I even rebooted and the Hi Fi Walker H2. It always comes up on F and then rebooted the Rockbox Utility. How can I get it to read Hi Fi Walker H2 on F?

There are several folks who use this as their daily driver with no issues, so we're going to need way to semi-reliably reproduce the problem you're seeing if there's any hope of intentionally addressing it.

Eg, does it happen with the latest build, stock theme, and default configuration?    If not, then which setting change leads to this?   Does the specific file(s) matter?   Has the storage device been checked for errors?  etc etc.

Permission denied, so try running as administrator or with su.

Any updates on this from the devs? I've been updating my Hifiwalker H2 regularly with the latest build and still have been running into these crashes.
To recap for the past year or two at times there is display corruption and player slowdown with the disk access icon constantly spinning up and eventual hanging of the player on the native port. It seems related to browsing file directories. The error says "exception" TLB refill and about four lines of numbers.

Thanks

I have followed the guide for Mac (I don't have access to a windows) at  https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodConversionToFAT32.html.  I don't think it managed to do anything.  I copied the commands into an editor, and with terminal, tried to run the command on the .bin file then run the command that was supposed to attach that bin file to the disk image of my ipodmini, in this case, disk4.  When I ran the whole command together it looked like: 'dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/disk4'.  I don't know what to expect it to do when it worked but the eject command did not work.  when I ejected the iPod in finder it remounted the disk.  I am not sure that it was supposed to do that.  Is this command supposed to factory reset what is currently synced to the iPod?  Does it just mount a bin file to the disk that primes it to be used in the rockbox easy installer?

here is my terminal session:

user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/diskN
dd: /dev/diskN: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/diskN
dd: /dev/diskN: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/iPod
dd: /dev/iPod: Operation not permitted
user@users-imac downloads % dd if=mbr-mini2g-4gb.bin of=/dev/disk4
dd: /dev/disk4: Permission denied
user@users-imac downloads % eject /dev/disk4
zsh: command not found: eject
user downloads %

Hope this finds help well.

Hardware / Archos Jukebox 6000 HDD Repalcement with MicroSD - Success !

« Last post by asper on September 16, 2024, 02:37:16 AM »

Old and unsupported device but this can be useful if your HDD fails.

I managed to replace the original HDD with this IDE emulator using MicroSD:



Installation utility won't recognize the device anymore but you can manual-install rockbox (maybe it is using some VID-PID that changes replacing the HDD ?).




The only issue is that, removing the original HDD, the torx screw won't work anymore because they go inside the original HDD screw-holes.

The original HDD was still working if connected to USB but the original fw won't load anymore. Replacing the HDD with the above adapter and a 16GB microSD makes everything in a working state again.

I used a virtual machine [VM Ware] with Windows XP for testing (drivers for Windows > XP seem to not exist).
