dual boot to rhapsody firmware
advcomp2019:
Xoring, I have got my Sansa e280R dual booting with Rockbox and the e200R firmware just fine.
xoring:
I realize that *some* people have it working fine, but I haven't gotten it to work properly and it seems like others are having the same problem. It's very convenient to call us idiots and say that we're doing something wrong or we didn't read the instructions or something. But I'd say you're wrong. I've been using Slackware as my primary OS for over 6 years. I'm not new to Linux or programming or following instructions. I followed ALL of the instructions exactly and even repeated it several times with different versions of the firmware to rule that out as a possibility. I have been unable to get it to work the way it's supposed to and I find responses like "It works for me, you're doing something wrong" to be dismissive and unhelpful. If you're not going to contribute toward a solution, at least acknowledge that other people might know what they are doing and might be reporting legitimate bugs even if your particular hardware doesn't experience the same issues.

I haven't got my E280R properly dual-booting into the original firmware either and I'm no idiot. There has to be a difference somewhere because I followed those instructions exactly.
It's either an assumption that some people make or some hardware difference that invalidates the scheme...
Thing is that I would really love to be able to still use the R firmware since I think it's better than the nonR one.
Bagder:
Since it seems people have trouble on the plain e200 as well with the recent bootloaders, I'm assuming this is a problem that is real and that happens to both e200 and e200R owners. Possibly there are variations that make it work on some and not on others.
So if we can find out when in time it broke on the e200, we should be able to fix this. If not, we should be able to make a e200R bootloader based on the code from where the e200 one worked and try that on the e200R players...
alaron:
Please let me know if I can help somehow to find the solution for this issue.
Do you think I should try re-doing the whole patching procedure again?
