dual boot to rhapsody firmware
Sansauser07:
After days of going back and forth between these forums and those on AnythingButIpod, I have finally managed to dualboot into Rockbox, albeit by modifying my e270R and turning it into a regular 270. Here is generally what I did:
Keep in mind I tried to dualboot using the e200R instructions here on Rockbox, but managed only to boot in Rockbox, and got only a fading white screen when I tried to boot into the OF, so...
While in UBUNTU, I downloaded the e250R bootloader from http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/250R_bl.rom, renamed it BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom - and a firmware file from http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/rhapsody/pp5022.mi4
then I put my player into recovery mode and copied the two files onto the disk. I unmounted the player and it booted into the rhapsody firmware as usual.
I then proceeded to follow the e200R bootloader installation instructions from Rockbox and recovered the bootloader using e200tool.
Once again I put my player into recovery mode and transferred the firmware and bootloader files from
http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/PP5022.mi4 and http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom to the player.
I unmounted the player and it booted into the vanilla e200 firmware, sans Rhapsody.
I then proceeded to follow the Rockbox install instructions for regular e200 players and now I dualboot fine, albeit without Rhapsody.
I hope this summary helps at least one other person who was suffering from the fading white screen.
Any further questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message. Â

Thanks Sansauser07, this method worked perfectly. I'm now dual booting my E260R with Rockbox and the non-rhapsody firmware 1.03.01H. Any idea if you know this imethod is permanent, or can it be reverted back to an e200R firmware?
Bagder:
AFAWK, all this kind of fiddling is perfectly possible to revert.

Sounds cool... I wanted an e200 anyway! I knew there was a way using the BL method to get an e200.
Now, if I can manage to convert my e200R to an e200 using their firmware and a standard bootloader, can't I just use sansapatcher?

Yes you can, as then you have effectively turned it into a plain e200.
