2.6.1 Automatic Uninstallation
You can uninstall Rockbox automatically by using Rockbox Utility. If you installed
Rockbox manually you can still use Rockbox Utility for uninstallation but will not be
able to do this selectively.
Note:
Rockbox Utility cannot uninstall the bootloader due to the fact that it requires a
b
flashing procedure. To uninstall the bootloader completely follow the manual uninstal-
lation instructions below.
2.6.2 Manual Uninstallation
Note:
If you want to remove the Rockbox bootloader, simply flash an unpatched Iriver
b
firmware. Be aware that doing so will also remove the bootloader USB mode. As that
mode can come in quite handy (especially when having disk errors) it is recommended
to keep the bootloader. It also gives you the possibility of trying Rockbox anytime
later by simply installing the distribution files. Although if you retain the Rockbox
bootloader, you will need to hold the
Rec
button each time you want to start the original
firmware.
If you wish to clean up your disk, you may also wish to delete the
.rockbox
direc-
tory and its contents. Turn the Iriver off. Turn the player back on and the original Iriver
software will load.
