dual boot to rhapsody firmware

[rockboxer11]

Just to be sure, are you all absolutely sure you followed the instructions exactly and did not deviate at ALL (not one tiny bit, like if you got the OF.mi4 from some other site than the one linked)?  Why I mention this is because my e250R dual boots perfectly, and the process I used is detailed in those instructions.

could u put the links to get rockbox on the r series  im dyin to try it  it worked for u ill c if it works for me

Please read the guidelines.  Especially the parts about real english, double posting, and searching the wiki/forums before you post.

e200 tool for windows  would help alot   i really want rockbox   and e200 is wat i wanted anyway thanx

1. e200tool for windows doesn't exist (well, it does, but nobody's gotten it working yet)
2. You need to use Linux to do the conversion.
3.  A howto is in the other thread you posted in.

 i would follow your instuctions but I can't get the e200tool i have windows and I can't find the instructions   if you could post links that would be a big help thanks

It has been told many times over.

e200tool is not working on windows. Boot linux and use it from there.

[rockboxer11]

how do you boot linux?

[rockboxer11]

if anyone knows hot to get rockbox on e250r on windows please post  links would help and instructions thanks

OK, if you read this whole topic, you will see that (as I have stated before), the only way to get rockbox on an e200R with Windows is even more complicated than for Linux and is not for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. I will post directions if you really want, but you have to know what you're doing, ESPECIALLY with drivers.

First of all... rockboxer11, I'll ignore your poor grammar, frequent misspellings and double-postings, but please contain yourself and wait for the devs to get e200tool working on Windows. They will post instructions for Windows users as soon as they have it working, you won't find instructions for it anywhere because at this time they don't exist. If you REALLY want Rockbox to run on your Sansa, READ all the instructions very carefully and learn to use the Linux operating system (Ubuntu is a good place to start http://www.ubuntu.com/).

Second. An update on my progress with building a working firmware...
Following a lead on Flyspray, I checked out the latest version and commented out the section labeled "Check for SDHC" in firmware/target/arm/sandisk/ata-c200_e200.c and rebuilt the firmware and it works perfectly. Is there any other method to check for SDHC that won't result in freezing firmware?

Also, I'm hosting the currently-working pp5022.mi4 in the same place as before if anyone wants the latest copy without having to compile themselves.

No, xoring, I have a working copy of e200tool for Windows, and I used it to put Rockbox on my e280R. I will post directions if anyone wants, but if you are a beginner, I would wait, the e200tool on Windows method requires a lot of knowledge with drivers.

[Downsider]

I'd love to have the Windows copy.  And the instructions, definetly give me those too
Never much of a Linux person.

So, anyway, if I do this, since reading though this I just want a simple answer- Can I dual boot back and forth with Rockbox and the regular firmware?  Running a Sansa 250r model.

Thank you for your time
