MTP MODE ON ROCKBOX

(1/3) > >>

c_bone212:
I have rockbox on my sansa e250, i just wanted to know if someone could get me a step by step on how to find the settings in the rockbox program so i can switch from msc to mtp mode, without switching to the original firmware of the sansa

saratoga:
There is no MTP mode in Rockbox.  On the Sansa, theres not even a USB mode, since the USB driver doesn't work correctly yet.

karashata:
If you're using Rockbox, it should be in MSC mode and you shouldn't have to change it. If you want to change it to MTP (for whatever reason,) you'll need to do so through the OF. Regardless, as saratoga said, there is no MTP mode in Rockbox (on any target) and no USB mode at all on the Sansas (or the other PortalPlayer-based targets, that I'm aware of.)

piscator:
I 'Rockboxed' two Sansa 280e's as Christmas presents that I got from Froobi.com. 

Windows did not recognize either of the refurbished Sansas until I switched to MSC mode in the Sansa original firmware.  Frankly, I don't even know what 'MTP' or 'MSC' means -- but I wasn't able to copy the Rockbox files to the player until switching to MSC mode. 

I found a reference to this at the Microsoft 'help' website under something like -- 'can't find external drive' and deduced my way back to the setting on the Sansa player.

Just thought I'd post this for anyone searching for Sansa install info.

Llorean:
Doesn't the Rockbox manual say to switch to MSC mode?
