I have a general understanding of how the firmware update works (if a certain folder and file are on the player it will run its update procedure and the image has a scrambling algorithm applied to it). There are forum posts, code, and tools to create your own patched firmware that you can use to update the device. Once Jonathan has an image that can boot Rockbox direct then the tools and information can be used to create an image that the OF will take as an update. I have not messed with them since the Remix vulnerability works well and acts as a program interface for the M:Robe 500 so that you can boot Opie Linux, Rockbox, or a basic port of MediOS. -Karl On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Rafaël Carré<rafael.carre_at_gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:13:39 -0600 > Karl Kurbjun <kkurbjun_at_gmail.com> wrote: > >> The boot >> through the OF is a bit of a pain, but it still boots in about 25 >> seconds from a cold start including the time to navigate the OF. > > I don't know much about the m:robe 500.
