dual boot to rhapsody firmware

<< < (15/27) > >>

lights0ut:
Just got a e280 outta futureshop for $150 CAD for the purpose of rockboxing it.

So far I've been able to follow the instructions like usual, I have rockbox installed, but
when I go to load the Sansa Firmware, I see text printed, and then the screen fades to white, fades to black and my player hangs. I have tried a couple of other .mi4's from Bagder's site, but I still get the same problem.
Any help is as always greatly appreciated, thanks ;)

EDIT:
had a look around the bug tracker and found this: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7806
and links to a forum thread on this subject. (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=12762.60)

I've used sansa patcher 0.2 to load the older bootloader and things are working nicely.

@mods: please merge my post or lock this thread, thanks

Success!!!

Well, mostly.
Using the pp5022.mi4 file that I compiled from the revision you suggested I can successfully dual-boot. However the top two rows of pixels are corrupted for both Rockbox and the rhapsody firmware. For the moment, the minor screen corruption isn't a problem though.

Update: I'm posting a link to the pp5022.mi4 that worked for me. Maybe it will work for others who are having the same problem.

Hey Xoring

Have you applied any patches to your source code? A fix for those corrupted pixels might be in one of the patches. Where you able to dual-boot a Rhapsody player or just a nonR with your bootloader? If it was a non-Rhapsody..I thought that was already working.

I've built a bootloader myself but I can't try it because I forgot the cable at home :(

Bagder:
Nice work xoring,

The display bug is fixed in the current bootloader but it wasn't back in the version which you're using right now.

It seems it is the added microsdhc support that broke the OF loading in the current bootloader. And since we don't even need microsd support in the bootloader, we should probably try to just disable that in the most recent svn code and see if that makes it run fine again.

There's just this little problem not all people experience the hanging problem, and within this latter category there seem to be several Rockbox devs!

xoring:
alaron: I was working on a Rhapsody player loading a Rhapsody firmware. My non-Rhapsody player never had any issue booting the OF.

Bagder: Since I seem to have an affected Rhapsody player on hand I'd be happy to test code for you guys to make sure everything works for all users.
