Problems on Sansa c240 installation.

<< < (2/4) > >>

pixelma:
Could you be a bit more specific? Which instructions did or do you follow?

Please also state the exact original firmware version that was on there before. Versions 1.01.05 and 1.01.06 did not have the MSC setting in the menu, Sandisk decided to remove it but I've heard that Linux doesn't care (probably because it doesn't understand the Windows MTP) so it should have worked for you under Linux.

You mentioned problems with the auto-detect in rbutil? I know that it didn't work for a long time but thought that it recently got fixed - and chosing the drive manually (in Windows) worked for me and I could install a new build for example, though I admit that I never tried to install the bootloader.

Following instructions from rockbox.org manual for sansa c240.

I since managed to get that message gone by renaming the mount point to "sansa."

I also downgraded from 1.01.05 to 1.01.03, that was the oldest i could find.  Now windows knows exactly what it is, but ubuntu pretends it doesn't exist.  no mounting works, no recognition.  I managed to get Linux MInt to let me copy music and pictures to it, but i'm stuck with this firmware and no rocksbox, which, with ubuntu cannot find it either.  

I feel like I hit the "I WANT TONS OF PROBLEMS BUTTON" when I upgraded to Gutsy.

Off-topic: So downgrade back to Feisty. :)

Back on-topic: There is even older than 1.01.03; I purchased a c240 about 3 weeks ago and found the OF to be 1.01.00P. My laptop (Kubuntu 7.04 "Feisty") detected it as a UMS device immediately and mounted it. Sansapatcher found it and I had Rockbox running within 10 minutes of opening the package.

Ask SanDisk if they can help you find 1.01.00P and see if it'll help you out.

MarcGuay:
I added some instructions for downgrading the firmware (with links to old versions) in the c200 wiki after seeing someone solve what seems to be a similar problem.  Dig it.

Does Windows give you a drive letter or only a new window that looks like it was explorer? If it's the latter your c240 is still not in MSC mode which you need for the installation as previous posts suggest (and you haven't answered the question yet). Unfortunately I noticed only yesterday that a note about this is only in the "manual installation" part of the manual.

I think version 1.01.03 should be fine if there is the USB mode setting - if not have a look at our nice wiki to downgrade further. Will put this info in the manual soon.
