Are 3.0.7 Y1's going to get RockBox?

I just got my Y1 in the mail yesterday, and was planning to install RockBox on it. In fact, that's what drove me over the edge to buy it in the first place over a different MP3 player.

However, the one I received has 3.0.7 installed on it, and it seems like attempting to change the firmware at all on the thing at all will brick it.

I'm really not happy with the stock OS. The build quality is also pretty plasticy, which I expected. But the screen is literally the worst quality plastic I can imagine. I have hardly used the thing, and already scratched it twice. And I really take care of my tech, especially new tech. All I did was put it in my pocket (without keys). I know they changed some things around with the model I received. Did they change the screen plastic? Because I watched a lot of reviews, and I didn't hear anyone mention the screen scratching this easily. I can only imagine what it would look like in six months.

So if I can't get RockBox, I'm honestly just going to return it and get something else.
