Rockbox on e200r
« on: September 04, 2007, 08:21:50 AM »
So rockbox is on the e200r.'
So the e200r uses the same fimware as the e200 right, so you should use the sansa build, but puting it on the sansa right now would be dangerous right, but once on it has dual bootloader right? and All things that apply to the sansa e250 would apply to the sansa e250 except for the instalation right?

That's correct. The installation, however, is still a little complicated and you have to follow the instructions to the T, otherwise you will have ended up with a nice black paperweight.

The wiki page is here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation

I would recommend you go pick up a Linux LiveCD like Knoppix, which is linked to on that wiki page I gave you.

And remember... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE T. I can not stress that enough. One mistake will bork your Sansa.


On second thought, wait until we have a more proper installation method.

No - it uses it's own firmware. It *can* use the same Rockbox firmware as the vanilla e200 though.

No - not dangerous at all - it just wouldn't do anything.

 but once on it has dual bootloader right?


No - if all you've done is put the sansa build on, then it's still only got the sansa's bootloader, and therefore won't run Rockbox.

I have no idea what you're asking here.

Maybe he wants to know if all of the features the Sansa port offers are the same on the Rhapsody?

In that case yes - the e200 and e200r are feature identical when running Rockbox.

Is there a way to get back my sansa is some thing goes wrong (i backed up ma sansa and i am ready to paste it back in the sansa if needed). Also what i meant is; is the sansa rockbox fimware the sansa as the sansa rhapsody fimware(rockbox), because that's the one's we're using. Is the sansa e200 fimware (rockbox) going to be using as the e200r (rockbox fimware)?

Yes there is a way to restore, but the way to get it back is basically the same process that is used to get Rockbox on the Sansa in the first place, so if you can't get Rockbox on correctly, you likely are going to have some issue restoring it.

And your clarification doesn't really clarify much...  Are you asking about which model to choose when downloading the build?

If what you're asking is "Is there a special e200r build of rockbox?" then the answer is no. It's the same build as the usual sansa e200 rockbox build.

The difference is in both the bootloader, and in the method to install it.

I *REALLY* don't recommend you try to do it yet.

Don't worry about it too much, Shane. Sit back and relax and let the guys do their thing.

As soon as we know what to write in it - then yes.

But since we've not quite worked out HOW we're going to do the simple install yet, much less WHAT to do - there's not much point doing it yet.

Patience!!!
