I just managed to flash my H1x0+CFMod+RTC target with the bootloader in SVN.
It seems that this bug (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9642) has been resolved for the CF cards available to me.
As far as I know this was the last blocker bug for a new bootloader (v7) release. (am I wrong about this?)
Could the devs please take a look at the BL code and could some brave users test the bootloader currently in SVN to see if it works.
Once that's done I would suspect it would be the very last bootloader for the H1x0 targets released. (putting it to rest)
CAUTION: Please make sure you know what the hell you are doing as this sort of thing can BRICK your player. Seriously.
It works (so far) for me but I had a spare unit and was willing to take the risk.

I just want to add to the warning:
BE VERY CAREFUL
Flashing a bad bootloader can permanently brick your player and make it unrecoverable without specialist equipment.
-
So, anyone else willing to take the risk? I've been using my target (lightly) for several days with no problems whatsoever.
-
maybe offtopic but are there serious issues with the h300 bootloader?
can I build one from SVN and take the risk?
-
The H300 has the same potential bricking issues as the H100. I have no idea of the status of the SVN H300 bootloader. It is probably OK, but if it were me I wouldn't be taking the risk.

I'll be one of the brave souls and try out the SVN H300 bootloader. I have an H320 that needs a little fixing up that can be a good guinea pig.
