dual boot to rhapsody firmware
zwaldowski:
Basically, you follow the instructions for bootloader patching and don't follow point 6 under step 1, and points 1 and 2 under step 3. That means, don't download the modified e200R booloader, and don't rename the bootloaders. If you follow the directions the same from there, you will copy the Sansa's default bootloader to replace yours on the e200R. Then, download the Sansa e200's firmware, and place it on there as well. Unmount your player, and remove the plug. It'll reset, and you have a perfect e200. Then you can just follow the directions on here to install Rockbox on the e200. ALL DONE!

I have done this process, and then gone back to my e200R using the regular e200R bootloader patch, and drag the Rhapsody firmware on, so it works.

Were you able to use Rhapsody and its channels after the conversion back to an e200R? in Rhapsody mode?
zwaldowski:
I dunno, I don't use them, but I would assume yes because the Rhapsody decryption is in the hardware (I think).
EDIT: The only way to explain why e200->e200R conversions aren't working are that it must be a hardware issue: the firmware is the some. e200R->e200 should work fine, and back should be even easier because you can just drag the bootloader and firmware in recovery mode and you'll be back in all the DRM-mmy, anti-aliased goodness.
timingbelt:
I did get my e260R dual booting with Rockbox and e200 firmware. Thanks to ZWaldowski's post.
scorche:
Ignore what I have said about trying my files. I have tested with the exact files as I linked to in the procedure and my Sansa still dual-boots. I am planning on returning my Sansa and trying a new one soon to see if I can still dual-boot the e200R firmware.
EDIT: As another person in IRC was able to install it and dual-boot Rhapsody just fine, I am now of the opinion that you are doing something wrong and shall keep that theory until evidence points otherwise (although I am still open to new evidence, of course).
