RockBox is very safe to use and install. To date, there have been zero known daps that have been bricked by RockBox.

Disadvantage: Poor battery life leaves my H10 tied to the wall for most of the evening.

How did you brick it? It's almost impossible to bring an ipod.

Yeah, but it was "when developping", trying things... to make it work.

I did brick my H10's hdd while developing Rockbox, but I believe it was purely coincidental. I think the hdd was starting to fail anyway, so it wasn't anything to do with Rockbox.
