Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
... but formatting might help get rockbox working.
Alright, this behavior is more complex than I originally reported.I plug the Rocker into my laptop, with the player OFF.The screen lights up with the Rocker name, and after some number of seconds it switches over to a USB logo and says "computer connected"At that point I go to terminal in my laptop, and CD over to the SD card rootI copy over the update.upt (the .rockbox folder is still present). I check the filename; and this time I made sure it had X permissionsI eject the playerAfter a moment the player displays the Rocker name, and then says "updating music files" and counts up, to however many thousand songs I have on the cardThat takes a couple mins. Then the player goes to its main screen. If I don't tough it right away, it shuts downSo at this point when I turn on the player, and then browse to settings - update firmware, it says there is no update.Just now I tried it, but after the player finished updating the music files and shut down, I did NOT turn on the player. Instead I plugged it back into my computer. The upt file is gone! It's already gone. So whatever process reads my SD card and build its database, that process is already deleting my upt file before the player shuts down.Do you have the player powered on, when you plug it into your computer?
wodz: is there anything you need to debug this mass storage thing?
I would think it is more likely that the file was never actually written to the tf card instead of it being mysteriously deleted. Tf cards can appear writable but actually fail to hold any data because there is usually cache being kept on your pc that gets written only after you "safely remove hardware" or umount.
Thanks for pointing out what you found missing/annoying.
For those playing along at home: when I chose Rockbox, it then displayed an error saying "Cannot boot Rockbox". I tried a couple times, also tried the "Tools" and that failed, then booted the original firmware. But then I shut down and rebooted, chose Rockbox again, and it worked FINE. So I guess it just needed an extra reboot after the update.
I've noticed that while playing and the screen goes dark, I can still faintly (very faintly) see the now playing screen.
Possible battery drain?
Hello chaps,With b9467e9347ba390bbd9b66e6581c50717a0beaef USB mode should work correctly. You need to perform full upgrade (.upt as well as rockbox.zip). I have only card formated as fat32 and with partition table so if you have exfat card and/or superfloppy formated please give me some feedback.I also looked at problems with booting rockbox after upgrade. This is because OF upgrade procedure deletes /mnt/sd_0 directory (mountpoint for SD). It is recreated on first OF boot. It seems to depend on OF version if this dir is deleted or not during upgrade.
