Note: Updated since original post – see updates at the end of blog post<\/p>\n

I noticed yesterday that “Doren Katz” over @ http:\/\/doronkatz.com\/iriver-story-firmware-171-update<\/a> has found a firmware upgrade for the iRiver story.<\/p>\n

However, I failed to find the original download on any of the korean, china or japan iriver websites but non the less downloaded I downloaded it myself to have a look but rather than installing I decided to have a peek inside the ebook.hex file.<\/p>\n

Firstly, this is really a .zip file with a false 128byte header, so its time to get the swiss-army does everything with files utility out and strip the header off with:<\/p>\n


\n dd if=ebook.hex of=ebook.zip bs=128 skip=1
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Next, lets look for what has changed between the different version’s, so as “unzip” includes the crc check for each file, we just need to create a text file with the files in sorted order with the appropriate crc check included. I used a combination of unzip\/awk\/sort<\/p>\n


\nunzip -v ebook.zip | awk '{ print $8, $7 }' | sort >ebook.17.txt
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

I did this for the ebook.hex from Doren’s site and the official 1.61 file.<\/p>\n

So, what can I deduce from the update…<\/p>\n

  • Russian support has been added<\/li>\n
  • New files for wifi support have been added<\/li>\n
  • New files include words “activate”\/”deactivate”….?<\/li>\n
  • New files include words “net[2].png”<\/li>\n
  • Adobe DRM support, Battery, book, mp3 player, comic and diary programs have changed<\/li>\n

    The big question is….. should I install it?<\/p>\n
