Rockbox on e200r
Llorean:
1) Please don't ask the same question in multiple places, this will be considered spam and at the very least all additional posts will be removed.
2) It's been said that a better way is being worked on. Have patience, or create one yourself, but there is no magic solution to the problem. Linux is better suited for the task at this time, and anyone who wants to badly enough can use the VMWare image or a linux liveCD without having to change from Windows.
scorche:
As a note (it says this in the instructions as well), VMware will not work with this, as when a device is "handed" to VMware, it is first mounted to windows, then quickly unmounted from windows and then VMware is given access to it. This results in recovery mode being activated, it sensing a disconnect and rebooting, then going into recovery mode again. Recovery mode is needed to be activated *immediately* after manufacturing mode, so the install will not work.
That said, a linux liveCD will do the trick nicely and all that is required is downloading an iso, burning it to disk, and running it.

I Just successfully installed Rockbox on a newer e200r with the new scroll-wheel, Instead of mounting the device though it was located in /media/disk and i could see version.txt. All i did was drag the file into there instead of copying it because i didnt really no how to mount and as long as i could find it i would put the file in there. Then i rebooted and went into the standard firmware, nothing was changed and proceeded to install Rockbox. Instead of using the official build i used Chris's build on anythingbutipod.com. Installed quickly, rebooted set up theme/doom etc, and its all working just fine. Oh yea and i used Ubuntu 7.04 for the bootloader part.
Differences that i did for people who want it summed up are-
Didn't mount device, just dragged and dropped the file in
Used an unofficial rockbox build with misc. patches/fixes/themes
I may switch OF.mi4 to the newest Rhapsody firmware, currently using the one shown in the guide which is i think one of the first released for the e200r.
Thanks alot guys, the tutorial was pretty good for a semi-linux noob even though i dont no how to mount/unmount got it working :)
EDIT: Oh yea just to let people know, when i tryed using the e200tool at first i couldnt get it work, but then i realised that i wasnt root and i think the command i used was sudo -s to become root. If u need help becoming root google is ur friend also. if there is anything i can recommend changed it would be a discription on how to become root if your not.

Actually, you did mount it, you just didn't know it. Gnome went ahead and automounted it; were that not the case, you would not have been able to copy over the files.

yea, thats what happened thanks for explaining :). oh yea and i "Ejected" the mp3 too once i was done, when it said unmount. I had a feeling that was the same thing dunno if it was though.
