Anyways, I just tried upgrading to 3.11 by dumping the D2N_P.bin file on the player... After restarting, the player boot into the firmware upgrade screen and advanced 2 bars, refreshed the screen, and booted back into 3.10 loading screen. I'm not sure if this is the same problem other people are running into but if it is... then it's not just a problem with the 2GB version. Any help would be great!! Thanks!

Upgrade your 3.10 firmware to the 3.11 firmware using the official Cowon D2+ firmware. Do not use the rockbox patched version until your D2 is 3.11.

4) Upload the patched firmware files to my server.

So please, *anyone* who has had trouble getting the rockbox patched firmware to install (I'm not talking about the NAND kernel *panic* here)
Try the firmware image(s) here:
http://rockbox.andrewbeveridge.co.uk/D2/Patched Firmware/

And explain in as much detail as you can be bothered with, what happens.

Thanks,
Andrew

I still can't get 3.11 to boot into Rockbox even after the 2 new files you updated.

i had no luck either, and im not about to compile my own or do anything else, something changed either in rockbox or if the cowon firmware, its beyond me

So which version last worked for you?

Tenson · 07-10-2009, 00:31

I've managed to upgrade my 3.10 to 3.11 using the official firmware; however, still no luck with the rockboxed 3.11 firmware... The firmware update process still only advance 3 bars before booting back to the official 3.11 firmware. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the recently updated rockbox bootloader. While I doubt this will make much of a difference, I've never receive the PAINC error with the older rockbox bootloader before.

Yeah, the problem is clearly my bootloader-patched firmware files, but I simply cannot figure out what has happened.
I will update this when I (/we) do.

hi
i have exactly the same problem. I have a d2 16GB DAB flashed with 4.02.
I cant install the "rockboxed" 4.02 firmware. I tried 1.11 too.. same problem.
..and if i flash the rockboxed fw with tcctool -> my d2 gets bricked

andrewthecoder · 07-10-2009, 10:01

ALL FIXED, TESTED =)

I honestly have no idea what the problem was, but I just went through a rigorous patch-test-repeat process on all 11 of the firmware versions which I cater for, so if anybody has problems with the latest files in my mediafire account, I cannot do anything more. They all work on my D2 (and my D2 DAB).

ar3a52 · 07-10-2009, 11:41

i just installed the rockboxed 4.02 and it worked

thanks

it works with vintage D2 and D2+ 3.11 firmware

I have only one little problem Cassini makes themes with a font patch (a D2N_P.bin file) but it overrides the dual boot with rockbox. Can you make a dual boot loader (firmware D2+ 3.11) with the font patch for OLED III theme? (I searched for it but only found the wrong firmware (vintage D2 3.59) http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28488)

Download OLED III theme from http://cassinidesign.su/ for the font patch.

Please, just once, read the damn stickies. This error is mentioned in numerous threads on here, and on the CowonD2Info wiki page. It's harmless, so just ignore it.

If you can't make the effort to read the information provided, I won't make the effort help you. Fair's fair.
