Regarding the RockBox SCSI tool:
According to some users, settings specific to one region may remain when migrating to another region. For instance English remains when switching to J region. Is that done intentionally?
Is there a way to back up the initial factory settings of the NW-A55 and potentially later rewrite them with no changes done?
I am really looking forward to your reply.
Today I got a reply from Amaury Pouly regarding the region changing tool.
'' I think this is merely a side-effect of how the firmware works: the settings are stored "somewhere" (not sure where). Then the firmware applies them regardless of the region.
Finally, the UI decides which settings to show you based on the region.
This explains why, for instance, if you set it to english and then set the region to J, it is still in english but the J destination does not show you a language setting.
As far as I know, there is no way to dump all the settings. However, I suspect the following will work just as well to "reset":
- set the player to whatever region you want the default settings
- select "factory reset" in the menu
=> I suspect the player will use the "factory reset" options for that particular destination.
I haven't tried it though so I can't be sure, but this would make sense since the manual says you can hit factory reset to restore the initial parameters.

Someone described the case of performing factory reset with region changed to J. As a result the UI switched to Japanese with no option to change language, witch would be the expected outcome.
