ok so i got an iriver h320 and im looking into getting it rockboxed. i know i need the bootloader and the firmware/build to make rockbox work. i got the build for the iriver h3xx from
http://build.rockbox.org/ so thats all good
now im looking at the "Installing the Rockbox bootloader" instructions on this site:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualRockboxInstall#Installing_Rockbox im looking at the bootloader section. it says: "The US H3xx firmware is not currently supported and cannot be patched to be used with the bootloader. If you wish to install Rockbox on a US H3xx, you must use an international firmware which will permanently remove DRM support from the player. If you are using the US H3xx model you will need to either first flash it to an international bootloader, or flash the hacked bootloader twice (Above note still applies)"
i do have a US version. i dont know exactly what the DRM is but i know thats used with the media port and is not necessary for recording or data transfer or anything like that...right? so its not a big deal if i permanently remove the DRM support from the player...right?
so then it has a list of different links to the bootloader for the h3xx:
H320 and H340 INT 1.28k
H320 and H340 INT 1.28eu
H320 and H340 INT 1.29k
H320 and H340 INT 1.30eu
H320 and H340 INT 1.29j
which should i download? ive been told it doesnt matter which i download, is this true?
so i have the right build and once someone tells me which bootloader i should get, then im all set to follow the instructions to install them right?
but i see on this site:
http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-h300/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-60002 it says: "If you wish to install Rockbox on a US Iriver H320 and H340, you must first install a non-US version of the original firmware and then install one of the supported versions patched with the Rockbox bootloader." - a non-US version of the original firmware...so thats the build right? so should i not use the build i said i downloaded above? im so confused...
oh and do i need to install fonts? or is it just something you can do but its not necessary?
thanks for walking me through this, whoever helps me out. im trying to figure all this out but theres some stuff i just dont know and i have no idea which bootloader to get...
