edit: Nevermind, problem solved.
Cheers
my hm601 is not getting detected on my windows computer..i need to uninstall rockbox..please help.
thanks
Is your HM-601 the "Slim" version or normal version?
The Slim version has another screen and doesn't work with RockBox AFAIK.
Do you have Windows OS on your computer?
If you installed an older version of RockBox you will need to open the DAP and bridge two pins on a chip while plugging it into the PC via USB cable (data exchange). This could also be the case if you have a corrupted / faulty software installed. If you look in this thread I think you will find pictures and a procedure.
HOWEVER, RockBox doesn't let you access the internal memory, which could be what you are experiencing. If it boots up correctly and plays files on the SD card, then all is well.
If you installed a newer version of RockBox it should have dual boot option (stock firmware AND RockBox), which will let you access the internal memory by using the original firmware. To do this you press the power button as usual plus on more button. Don't recall which.
I haven't used the newer versions of RockBox myself, but as far as I recall you should press power + one more key to boot the HiFiMan firmware. This should probably be done for about three seconds and then release both buttons.
The last line in the message:
" Bootloader version: 3fd11c3-130216
Loading: /.rockbox/BASE.RKW
Can't open RKW file
Entering rockchip USB mode..."
sounds interersting!
The RB firmware you have might actually have a new feature that allows the PC to "see" the DAP. Did you try to connect to the PC after that message?
If nothing else works - do the "dirty" job by bridging the two pins while connecting to the PC (as earlier mentioned). You will probably be scared of losing your toy, but I saved my 801 that way. Of course be careful when or if you do it!
Thanks LarsHP..
I think I have an expensive paper weight now..
yes..I did connect it to my pc once the message appeared..and still nothing really happened..the message stayes on till I reset .
I have owned this player for a week now, and all I wanted to do was to uninstall the software and return back the player before 30 days..
I wonder if someobody has unistalled rockbox off their Hm601 in recent times with the new firmware..to help me out.
You won't have an expensive paper weight if you carefully follow the steps mentioned in post #1 and #11 in this thread.
See photo in post #15: it has pin 5+6 marked in red on the chip.
Breathe deeply and go ahead resurrect your DAP!
Thanks LarsHP.
I successfully uninstalled rockbox without having to open the screws .
All I needed to do was to copy the original OF into the player through the usb ( yes I got it to read by copying the base.rkw file onto the sd card from my pc and inserting it back into the player. The player then booted into OF by pressing the power button and the centre button)
I feel like a huge 'rock' has been lifted off my chest now..haha
Thanks again !
Great! Happy for you.
I don't think I fully understand what you did to make the PC see the DAP via USB. How did you do that precisely? This info could be very useful for the next one struggling getting rid of RockBox.
