I just succeeded doing the CF-mod on my rockboxed iHP-120!
What did I do on my iHP-120:(0. Order the CF-to-IDE-adapter => ebay)
1. install the latest H120 rockbox-build from today
2. download the necessary "7pre4"-bootloader for the H120 here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/Main/IriverFlashing?rev=1;filename=bootloader_h120_7pre4.zip3. copy the "7pre4"-bootloader to your H120´s harddisk(root directory)
4. FLASHING:
First Initialize your player as follows: (Stop audio-playback).
- Set "Show Files" to "All" in "General Settings"
- Enter the File Browser by choosing "Files" in the Rockbox menu
- Navigate to "bootloader.iriver"
- Mark "bootloader.iriver" and press(long) joystick - then select "Open with..."
- From the list of plugins, select "iriver_flash" and execute.
- If all went smoothly a confirmation message should be displayed
- Press PLAY-button (right side TOP-button) to confirm, the firmware flashing-process starts,
- "Success"-message and the player will return to the file browser
5. Copy the complete rockbox directory to your PC
6. Replace the HDD using the
CF-to-IDE Adapter mentioned in this thread on page 1.
7. Bend down the adpater´s jumper, otherwise you´ll run into issues later on
8. Copy the folder from your PC back to the CF-card
9. Fix the 8 torx screws and you are DONE!
I use a SANDISK 8GB extreme III CF-card, which has ONLY 133x speed(about 20MB/s read and write).
No errors on boot-screen.
"System/Rockbox-Info" shows 7.xx GB as supposed to.
Here a pic of my "challenge":My 8GB CF card attached to the ebay-Honkong-"CF-to-IDE adapter"
: You can see how I needed to bend down the blue jumper.
