I do sympathize with you and your problem. However, we shall not exaggerate the risk of doing a firmware upgrade this way. Hundreds if not thousands of people have upgraded to rockbox, and many of those have done it multiple times. I personally have upgraded my box several hundred times alone, without ever having faced this problem. So yes, the risk is there, but AFAIK the risk is just about as big when you upgrade Archos firmware as when you upgrade Rockbox and since we don't even know why this happens in the first place, we can't even rule out that you can get this problem even when not upgrading firmware at all... And hey, what's a life without risks? -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://rockbox.haxx.se/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2003-02-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
