Regional Differences

There are 4 different firmware types available for H300's depending on region.

  • European - FM Radio tuner is fixed to European frequencies and the volume is limited as per EU directive (to 15mW @ 16 ohm). This firmware is designated by an E appended to the version number. This firmware also ships in Australia and New Zealand.
  • Korean - FM Radio frequency is selectable between European, Korean, Japanese or Americas standards. Volume is not limited. This firmware is designated by a K appended to the version number.
  • Japanese - Same as Korean but defaults to Japanese tuner region. This firmware is designated by a J appended to the version number.
  • Americas - Capable of playing WMA DRM protected music. Tuner is limited to Americas frequencies. This firmware has been updated twice since v1.02 (v1.03 & 1.04) and does not have video support. It is also not possible to upgrade US firmware to any other firmware (including v1.04 unless it comes on the player) without losing DRM capabilities. Downgrading will not re-enable DRM functionality
  • All firmware types support much the same languages, so you are free to use one from whichever region suits your requirements.
[edit]

File Format

The firmware is delivered in a hex file called h300.hex, and is installable via a firmware update menu on the player.

[edit]

Modification

Image replacement is possible via a third party program H3Mod, programmed by Lord Julius.

  • Your warranty will technically be voided, so use discretion before using the program (back up original firmware files).
[edit]

Alternative Firmware

There is a port of Rockbox.
