After Firmware update, Rockbox doesn't work?
« on: August 29, 2008, 09:11:09 AM »
Hey, guys. I've been using Rockbox with my Sansa 260R for a while now (And I LOVE it!). But I heard that there was a new firmware update for the Sansa it's self, and wend ahead and downloaded it (And installed it onto my player). Now, it seems that Rockbox isn't working anymore. Do I need to reinstall Rockbox? Or is there some quick fix that I don't know about?

You need to reinstall the bootloader

Alright, I know how to do that, but just to be sure, should I uninstall rockbox first? or should I just reinstall the bootloader without uninstalling?

Alright, I just did that. It says "Firmware Already Unlocked" then tells me how to shut it down. It's still starting up like it did before I ever installed Rockbox.


EDIT:
YA! I got it back up and running! I just had to install rockbox again (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallationFromWindows).

Thanks for your help and time!

Oh, and sorry for starting out in these forums with a problem. I know it's frustrating when people sign up just to ask for help :)

You do realize that you've just reverted back to the old version of the OF Right? That file, OF.mi4 is what gets used as the original firmware, while steps 5, 6, and 7 are the part where you reinstall the bootloader.

Ok, now I'm confused... I followed the steps from 1-11. What exactly should I have done/do then?

Never installed on the e200R, but according to the post above yours, sounds like steps 5, 6, and 7.
