have to eject memory card for RB to boot
JdGordon:
use an official bootloader
lewislink:
I have the firmware located and downloadeds. I don't have the utility yet because i don't know where it is. It suppoed to install the firmware automatically. The way I installed RB on my c250 was by unzipping the firmware file directly to the c250. However, I cannot do that with this e250 because it doesn't show up in the directory in either USB mode. It shows up in the PC but not when trying to select a place to unzip to. So manual installation apparently can't be done.
lewislink:
I just finished with the Utility install and unless I must install something else, the boot up doesn't work. I'll try to take a picture of the screen so what is said can be seen but the bottom line says "File Not Found"
Update -
Okay, I was almost not going to be able to use my e250 because it wouldn't boot into RB and wouldn't boot into OEM but I remembered reading someone saying to hold the left arrow while pressing the start button and this got me into OEM firmware. When it loaded up and I connected to my PC, the Sansa Updater showed an updated firmware available. I went ahead and updated the OEM firmware and am now trying to re-install the Rockbox installation utility...the Housekeeping tool or whatever it was called.
Hopefully this will get the system up and running. If not, what would the likey cause be for it not working?
Second update -
I'd appreciate it someone would reply. The second automatic install...a "Complete Install"...finished and I opened up the root of the drive on my PC but didn't see any Rockbox files other than the Uninstall file leftover from the unofficial RB. I don't know what the install process is extracting the firmware to but it isn't being put on my e250. It doesn't show up in "System" on the drive root nor anywhere else.
lewislink:
Okay, the second automatic install doesn't work either. It gives the same message when attempting to boot, "File Not Found". I did a manual install and still no good.

I don't know if you uninstalled the old bootloader or not. Does it still say ReverseBL when you boot up? If so, that needs to go, ask the people you got it from. If it's been replaced with the official Rockbox bootloader, try running the Rockbox Utility, make sure your player is the selected device, click the Installation tab, and click Install Rockbox. Leave the selection as Current Build and choose Install. If anything goes wrong, please report the exact error message. After this is done you should find a folder called ".rockbox" in the root of your player.
