Installation / Removal > Sandisk - Installation/Removal

Crash during USB connection, reboot how?

Llorean:
Well, considering you're experiencing a hardware problem, perhaps the "Hardware" section? Or as per the guidelines, if you don't know, ask in General Discussion. Writing the word "install" in bold there is kinda silly. Even if you were asking about trying to install the fix, obviously that wouldn't belong here because this section, AGAIN, is explicitly for how to install ROCKBOX itself on the Sandisk players.

You can stop arguing the point. You're not in the right. I understand that you didn't realize it, which is why I simply tried to politely mention the guidelines and the stickies, but you aren't going to change the fact by trying to come to rather ridiculous conclusions. That fix wasn't even mentioned in the first post, doesn't actually have anything to do with the problem you're having, and in fact is marked as accepted because the changes relevant to fixing that problem are already included in the official build.

Seriously, again, using USB is not covered in the install chapter, and is not part of the install process.

Fewlio:
Sorry I'm used to forums with clear naming, especially with a clear-cut "support" section for when you don't know what you need or what is wrong. I can't understand having an section dedicated to dragging and dropping files/pressing next on a utility.

I highlighted words because I only just installed rockbox and it bricked my sansa immediately after(even though it appeared to work fine), I don't see that as a complete installation especially when the only bugs I can find are the ones that you clearly state have been fixed and are unrelated.

There is no problem with my hardware, it all works completely fine. Rockbox itself is the problem, I've removed it and everything works 100%.

Llorean:
See, here's the interesting bit: Rockbox has no USB mode. When you plug in a USB cable on Sansas, Rockbox shuts down and reboots into the Sandisk software.

The whole forums ARE for support. They're divided into subcategories. Support questions relating to the User Interface. Support questions relating to the Hardware. Did you read the stickies? Did you consider asking where to put it if you were confused? Did you consider that General Discussion explicitly says "If you're not sure where to post it, post here" which coupled with the "After you have booted Rockbox do not post here" should've been a pretty clear sign?

Seriously, I'm more than willing to clarify forum names, but seriously, between those two sentences, what is so confusing specifically? What about them leaves room for "I booted Rockbox successfully, then had strange problems AFTER booting it" suggests you should post somewhere that says "Don't post here after successfully booting"? It really simply suggests to me you didn't read, or you chose to decide that you knew better than the guidelines did where your post belonged. I tried to err in favour of "he didn't read" when responding to you initially.

Fewlio:
See that's the thing... I had rockbox on, I plugged in the USB - screen goes nuts while rockbox is trying to shutdown and reboot into the sandisk software. I didn't take this as a hardware problem. If anything, I took this as a new bug, but I assumed it was an installation problem because after Rockbox attempted to shut itself down the entire media player went unresponsive. Looking back on it now, it really should be a bug report but I really don't care to go through the effort of having to remove my battery just to reproduce and isolate this bug.

Llorean:
Again I ask, what about this explicit statement "Once you have booted Rockbox successfully even once, you should voice your concerns in other forums." is unclear? Or did you simply decide that you got to decide when to ignore it?
