E250 not recognized by RBUtility or BootLoader

(1/3) > >>

Mr. Sly:
Hi all,

I just got an E250 (V1) and am trying to install RockBox on it.  I switched it to MSC mode and plugged it in.  It shows up as drive G: in XP.  I tried to use the Rockbox Utility (latest version) to do a Complete Install, but it can't find it.  I tried to tell it that it was a Sansa E200 on Drive G, but that still didn't work.

After trying for an hour, I decided to try it manually.  I have the rockbox.zip files extracted to the player, along with the font files.  No problem there.  I was just on the step of installing the BootLoader and it can't find the player either.

I RTFM but only get to the part where it says "If all has gone well..."

Not sure what else to try.  Maybe a different USB port?

Thanks for any help you may provide,

Mr. Sly

So it even doesn't get detected (by using the "autodetect" button in the configuration dialog)?

I can remember that some people had issues with broken cables and a hub between PC and player, but that was on Ipods. No idea if something appeared on a sansa as well.

Llorean:
Are you 100% sure it's a V1? What firmware version does the original firmware report?

Mr. Sly:
Very interesting...  I unplugged it and plugged it back in, still not working.  I did that about 5 more times...  Suddenly it works, RB installed perfectly.

The cable was working just fine, I could get to the player with XP Explorer the whole time.  Maybe just a USB thing on my computer.

I don't know what to say, but thanks for the "help".   :)

Go to Settings->Info on the OF and tell us what version it says the firmware is.
