Title: bootloader don't load original firmware on e280
Post by: hacker_p on September 27, 2007, 05:32:03 PM
Hi,
I installed rockbox on my e280; it's very good!

The bootloader loads rockbox but doesn't load the orginal firmware. :(
It tried it but the screen is changing from white/black strips over magenta strips to an black screen.  :o

I've many times tried to remove and install the bootloader but for every connection to my PC I have to start the recovery mode and install the original firmware.

So I have n idea what to do.  ???

Plaese Help!!!   :'(

The latest bootloader has issues loading the original firmware, here's a forum thread on this:

I just got my Sansa yesterday and have had the same problem. The solution is to use an older version of Sansapatcher (0.2 instead of 0.3) which can be found
here --> http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showpost.php?p=145608&postcount=809

you just have to sign up for an anything but ipod account, to be allowed to download it.

Sansapatcher 0.2 is available from the official rockbox.org download servers:

We're currently working on the assumption that the patch hosted here:

... might solve this problem.

Which was the right thing? Using sansapatcher 0.2, or using the patch?

Bit stuck with my new Sansa e280. I installed Rockbox through rbutilqt and now when i boot into the OF i get the same problem as the original poster. How do i go about applying Sansapatcher 0.2?

Edit: Running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
