Wow, they finally did it huh?

I guess someone reversed engineered the firmware finally.

Looks like they have to crack it open though and read the microdrive itself.

 

[Vinny]

Excellent.I knew they were close to cracking it a few weeks ago so now I can finally Rockbox my ZVM 60 GB.

 

[uberstuber]

I was just about to sell mine too... not any more

 

[Baba booey]

OMG can't wait! I might be going back to this player after not having it for around a year.

 

[direcow]

*can't wait for the ZVW*

 

[CarlosGomes]

I´ve never Rockboxed anything, is it just a Firmware that i can Upgrade or I need to modify anything?
I´ve bumped into the rockbox site a few days ago, they were talking about ZVM and its internals, but there was nothing conclusive there...

 

[srozzman]

this might help you GeneralFAQ < Main < TWiki

Yay, i rockboxed my old 5gb Olympus MR100 Mrobe, and like it, but not the interface, i guess i got acustomed to a colour screen.

Looking foward to it, the Zen is great, and so is Rockbox! I have modded the themes on the Zen Vision M, but this should make it easier too!

Just when i was trying to trade it for an 8gb D2 though, and buying a 16gb SD. Decisions.

I wonder if it will reduce hiss? My ZVM hisses loads with music off with my extremley sensetive LW's but with music on quietly i can hear it, eg. in bed.

EDIT: Anyone following the thread, when a fully working version is out, without the dissassembly, flash card, format on hdd from byte 0x3200200 etc. Just like the simple install on the other players, could you kindly PM me?

Thanks,

Matt

new video ,some basic stuff

YouTube - Rockbox On The ZVM 3

So why has it taken them soooo long to crack the firmware on the ZVM while it just seems they can crack all other players with ease ?.

Well if I had any bloody idea what they were talking about on the Rockbox forum then I would.

Unfortunately I aint that technical minded.

 

[Baines93]

Not many people are that smart, otherwise it would have been cracked much faster. (You can learn it though)

Not a huge amount of people have the ZVM either that are technical minded enough either, which causes problems.
