Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
Thanks to the incredible work here, I have upgraded two of my old 8gb Creative Zens to rockbox and am beyond happy with the results.
Since I had to dig around to put the procedure together, I thought I would reproduce exactly what I did to get mine working. I am using Windows 7 64 bit, but I expect the procedure should be similar for other windows versions.
Hi all,I manage to reproduce the LCD problem on my ZEN X-Fi and traced it back to a hardware bug. I have implement a tentative workaround inhttp://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1428/which completely solves the problem on my device. I'd like to get the feedback of more testers. Here are builds with the patch, note that you need to install a new bootloader because this is where the problem usually happens. As usual follow the instruction from https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZENPort: download the firmware_zen_lcd.nk file and upload it using sendfirm.new bootloader: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ebre030vx3qp1h/firmware_zen_lcd.nk?dl=0new build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i04b1468tci9ju1/rockbox_zen_lcd.zip?dl=0
Issue 3 - Options (menu) and My Shortcut buttons have no effectI'm guessing this is a bug, since http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZENPort "Keys 90% Buttons are working but the driver could be smarter and save power." and http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=blob;f=apps/keymaps/keymap-zen.c;hb=HEAD says
Description: Sometimes upon Rockbox program launch, the device goes unresponsive to buttons, showing a black screen.[...]* Also plugging/unplugging USB sometimes leads to the same locked-up state.
never had a boot hang after your bootloader update
I seem to not be able to flash any nk file. When sending firmware_zen_lcd.nk there is Error occured during sending!, and when trying to install older firmware_zen.nk, there is Error while opening firmware_zen.nk! + Error occured during sending!I'm doing it on Win8.1, but I have done it before on the same machine, so not sure what's wrong?

As explained in https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CreativeZEN, you need to power off the device, press the play button and power on (keep holding). You get the recovery menu, select "Reload firmware", then send the file.
So, let me be more precise:can you access recovery menu (by holding play button on boot) ?did you select "Reload firmware" in it ?when you plug the device after that, does Windows detect a device ? (it does not necessarily appear as a drive)did you try to uninstall the device in windows device manager ?have you tried another usb cable ?
