Any type of recovery mode on the Gigabeat T?

[LambdaCalculus379]

Hi folks, looking for a little assistance here.

I'm looking to port Rockbox to the Gigabeat T, which should be relatively easy, as it's by and large the same hardware as the Gigabeat S (save for being flash-based). However, one thing I need for the porting effort is to find any sort of recovery mode on the T. This is needed in case I copy bad code onto it that could screw things up and facilitate a restore. While I know the S's recovery mode (Left + Window key on boot), the same key combo doesn't work on the T.

Can anyone tell me if there is a recovery mode on the T, and if so, how can I enter it? Thanks!

I fiddled with buttons and searched through the Gigabeat companion CD, but I could not find any mention of a recovery mode. It's kind of a downer considering what you trying to do, but porting Rockbox to Gigabeat despite this would be pretty sweet.

Well, I did find a recovery mode by simply using beastpatcher (which is our Gigabeat S patching app; it's similar to what Sansapatcher and iPodpatcher do) to patch the firmware. This caused the Gigabeat T to enter recovery mode. I was then able to use sendfirm (another of our tools) to send it several nk.bin files from the Gigabeat S, V, and finally the T, both patched with the S bootloader and unmodified.

Of course, the only one that worked was the unmodified T firmware.
