Rhapsody Subscription tracks and Channels screwed up by Rockbox install
Llorean:
I have to ask, when you first installed Rockbox, did everything work the first time, exactly as described, or did you ever have to do any extra steps or recovery?
santod:
It worked the first time through, no hitches. I just feel it's strange coincidence that 30 days from date of patching BL and installing Rockbox, that all of a sudden I no longer even have a status dot on my Sansas bar at the bottom of Sansa screen and under account dot stays red , with no renew or expire date. And noone, Sandisk or Rhapsody could fix it. Badger, how can you be so sure? I'm curious. Have you or anyone else confirmed that they have installed Rockbox on a e200r series that was licensed with a subscription to Rhapsody To Go successfully for at least 30 days before reverting back (or not) and still be able to download subscription tracks and Rhapsody channels onto the device (in Rhapsody mode) and be able to play them back on the device. Rhapsody tells me device authorized, NOT Licensed, no matter what.

I assume you directed that to me (hint: my nick is not Badger)
I can be so extremely overly positively sure because I know exactly what the patched BL is compared to the original BL and there's no way in h... those patched bytes will have any impact what so ever on the firmware that the BL loads and starts.
It is "easy" for anyone to inspect those changes, either by reading the e200rpatcher source code or by comparing my stored original R-BL with my stored binary-patched R-BL. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do this.
Do note that I speak of the patching of the original BL and how that patching cannot be the cause, I don't rule out that the full rockbox install may have an impact.
santod:
Oh "Bagder", my bad. Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to detect the changes between the R-BL and the binary patched-BL, as you said, but apparently it would take one to figure out why my players' license got corrupted and can't be repaired. RMA time. Was hoping for a fix instead, because if I could fix the problem, that would mean I could continue using Rockbox on my Sansa. Since I couldn't fix it, I have to RMA and not reinstall Rockbox once I get the new one. Hope you guys aren't getting defensive about RB, I love it, just don't want to compromise a devices functionality to run it. Thanks for everything and if you can figure out the Rhapsody key problem, that would be awesome. I do know that you said the BL has nothing to do with it, well I would say RB does and I do know that Sandisk makes the FW for the Sansas, but not the e200R series, Real Rhapsody Networks makes that FW.
Bagder:
I read you. But at the same time, many other users have installed Rockbox on their Rhapsody players and can still use all the DRM things fine afterwards. You seem to be an exception, and as such I can't draw any conclusions to exactly what caused this problem for you.

Real is certainly involved and it does parts of it sure, but I'm convinced that large parts of the R software is done by the same team that makes the vanilla version. Based on the looks and the functionality.
