All firmware mods that are presented are still highly experimental. Use them at your own risk. We offer no guarantees that this software, or the hardware modifications we show, will not damage your player or void your warranty. That said, we have not been able to damage any of our units by modifying only the firmware. On the Archos, you can accidentally password protect your hard disk, but there are ways around that. (See ArchosFAQ) Note: Several companies, including Archos and iriver, claim installing Rockbox voids their warranty.
