I am no expert on the hardware side as I maintain gtkpod rather than libgpod.

My guess would be that, yes, it is the firmware upgrade that is the culprit.
I recognise the error that you have come across as consistent with others who
have also had the same problem.

As regards reverse engineering, that is far easier said than done and many other
people have requested the same on this mailing list. However, all have also said
they are unable to help with the task.

The last person I know of working on reverse engineering was israr and you can find
him on twitter. He appears to have made progress back in February but ran into legal
issues with his work. That appears to be the current state of affairs and seems unlikely
to change in the near-future.

Maybe the author of jakpod is willing to share his sourcecode?
