won't load rockbox

(1/1)

aznxkidd4:
I had rockbox installed on my sansa e280, but after an update a few months ago, it stopped running rockbox and went straight to the sansa loader and software. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?

Sansa e280 Version: 01.02.24A

karashata:
Could the bootloader possibly have been replaced with the official Sansa bootloader again..?  Perhaps try reinstalling the bootloader again and see if that fixes it...

Strife89:
karashata stated the solution. This is a known issue, as pretty much stated in the Wiki; but it's not a problem that can be fixed by the Rockbox devs, so be prepared to reinstall the bootloader every time you update the OF.

AlexP:
It isn't really a known issue - if you replace the Rockbox bootloader with the original firmware, it will load the original firmware.  A known issue suggests unexpected behaviour, whereas this is clearly expected behaviour.

karashata:
The H10 firmware is much the same way, if you replace the OF, the H10 bootloader will overwrite the Rockbox one.
