I see the port is now at r12 http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/HifimanPort and I am on r7.
 
Anyone know the differences between the two and whether it's worth upgrading

Just got my HM601 Slim. Trying to figure out how to install Rockbox but i'm not sure what to do =/. How do i patch the original firmware? and where do i find the base.rkw file?

Make sure, that the SLIM version is fully supported before installing RockBox or you may end up having an expensive paperweight. As I remember, the display on the slim version is different from the standard 601 (as well as the 602 and 801) which is the reason for this problem with the slim version of the 601.

I guess i'll just talk to head-direct first before doing it.

They will say the warranty is voided if you install RockBox I'm quite sure and also that they can't help you with third party software. Go to RockBox forum and ask there for advice.

Just looked into it. Sadly...a stable version is currently not available for the slim versions.

It works for me with approx 100gb filled on a 128gb card. Maybe you could ask for help on the rockbox forum:

I lost the original usb connector for my hm-601, can i just put the downloaded rockbox in the SD card and install it ??

 

[LarsHP]

No, I think you need to use USB connection. Beware that the internal memory won't be accessible after installing RockBox though. Make sure you know what you are doing before you install it - including how to uninstall it if something goes wrong.

Thx....LarsHP, the comments 80% negative for HM-601 slim to install Rockbox, i better stay unchange ....

 

[Mmet]

Does that work with hm601LE ?

 

[LarsHP]

Check out the RockBox forum.

What are the traps and pitfalls while installing the RockBox for HM601?
What should I bear in mind about it?
