Several days and boots later, no black screens here.

Hi there, I'm new member,
I decided to register and post to contribute and to thank everyone for the awesome Rockbox port to the creative Zen, and especially Amaury for taking care of this, despite lacks of time. Your work counts a lot for me, I really love my Rockbox Zen(s) !
I upgraded the bootloader with the last version, and the device (4Gb) encounters no more hangs at startup. As mentioned before, there is no more white splash screen also.
Black screen of death was my main concern versus the daily use of my device. It seems to be fixed now, hurra ! (yep, I feel enthusiastic !)

I can't install Rockbox on my Zen. I feel I am probably doing something stupid or missing a step. Here's what I've done, following the steps on the wiki page:
* Format my Zen as FAT
* Use the sendfirm.exe to send the firmware over
* Restart my Zen into recovery modeOn the Recovery Mode screen, I only have three options: Clear Data, Format All, and Reboot. Apparently there should be a Reload Firmware option, but I don't see it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
pamaury:
Hi,
you are doing things in the wrong order: first you restart the ZEN into recovery mode, then you select "reload firmware", then you use sendfirm to send the firmware and then you format.
I have never heard of a ZEN without the "Reload Firmware" option, maybe try to use sendfirm directly see if it works.

With apologies for the terrible quality:

The text on blue on the second line says "V1.04.01".
