Title: Topic: iriver H120 won't turn on - help
Post by: Aladar on October 19, 2009, 04:23:49 PM

Hello
Recently, I recieved older H120, that had corrupted rockbox installation. So, I wanted to reinstall it, downloaded rbutil, mounted, then pressed uninstall rockbox, and uninstall bootloader - after that, I tried to install the bootloader from the util again. It confirmed sucess, and said I should turn it on.. which it never did. I already asked on IRC, and I was told that rbutil couldn't corrupt the bootloader, so that apparently shouldn't be an issue.. but I'm really desperate on what to do now.. I tried charging it, and it just won't even turn on..

Please, help if you know
Thanks a lot-

You should never had touched the bootloader. It sits in flash and will not change/corrupt.

But if the disk was corrupted and you copied the new bootloader on it and flashed that, you may very well have wrecked the player!

You should have reformatted the disk and unzipped rockbox again on it. That's all.

- Can you attach it to the PC and see if it turns up as a disk?
- can you boot into the original firmware?
