I noticed there were no details about which modes to have the player in throughout the install process and seems to be the reason people are having those weird write errors, as I went through that as well. The different firmware updates will change the mode that the player is in.

Anyway my next question would be, can I still update my Sansa firmware as there is a new one available now after doing the Rockbox install? Or will I then have to redo part of the process again? Would I just copy that Firmware file into the Sansa\System directory renamed as OF.mi4 , replacing the present one?

does that mean we need a certain firmware or are you referring to the playforsure and rhapsody mode.  I am using the rhapsody mode by the way.  I'm getting those write errors too and i was wondering if this was the problem.

santod:
I was referring to the Plays For Sure and Rhapsody modes. Must be in Plays For Sure at Step (2.) of Bootloader patching and then set to Rhapsody Mode for Step (3.) Booting Into The Vanilla Bootloader. Make sense? It works this way and this way only , for me at least. No mention of that in the R series install instructions that I ever saw. Hope that helps.


Referring to the instructions here for Bootloader patching and installing through Windows. [url]http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation

Yes! Finally, i have rockbox and it works great.  Thanks so much for those directions santod because it really helped me out.  Thank to everyone else who tried to help me.

santod:
No problem, glad that worked out for you man. Sure would have saved me some time, would be nice to have those details added to the instructions on that page.

UPDATE!!!

 Looks like they have the SansaPatcher working on the R series now and that should actually resolve a lot of peoples' issues, good work guys.
