Hi all, OK, I thought I'd try an SVN bootloader on my H300. Have done many bootloader builds and updates in the past with no problem.
I did the following: - SVN up to r23674 - configure to H300/normal, make clean, make, make zip - unzipped to the H300 and tested it booted ok (sanity) - made sure the H300 battery was full - configure to H300/bootloader, make clean, make - ../tools/mkboot -h300 h300eu130.bin bootloader.bin h300.bin (same EU 1.30 base firmware file I've used before) - ../tools/scramble -iriver h300.bin h300.hex - On the H300, renamed my old h300.hex to h300old.hex - Copied the new h300.hex to the H300 - Booted the OF and did a firmware upgrade It seemed to do the flashing a little faster than I recall, I guess about 15 seconds before it powered off. Now, any attempt to power on (even holding the REC button down) just gives a white screen and no other response. There's no HDD action at all, so it's not just a visual thing - I have officially made a brick out of my last working Rockbox target. Stupid stupid pondlife. I'm mainly posting to warn other H300 users before they do something similar. However, can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong in the above steps - like I said, I've done plenty of bootloader builds/flashes in the past - just not done one for a year or so, so wonder if I've forgotten something important. One other point - I noticed that the new h300.hex was a little larger than the previous one (Windows Explorer reportted 4087k, as opposed to the previous 4085k). Don't suppose that's relevant though. I'm 99.999% sure I'll need to buy a BDM klit or a replacement (H300 if possible, I have all the spares and big HDD), but if anyone has any suggestions - I'm all ears. pondlife
