Can't Install Rockbox... e260 Sansa not detected
bradesp:
One possible culprit is the updated firmware everyone appears to be using (myself included) version 01.02.24A ... I upgraded the firmware on my e260 refurb prior to attempting the RockBox install. I have a second e260 refurb I purchased a while back that I have not yet updated the sansa firmware.. I will attempt to install rockbox on this unit and report back what happens. If it works, then I think it's safe to say that the new firmware is the cause of this current install problem.
Stay tuned.
Ok, just tried the installer on my other e260 that runs the older firmware 01.02.18A and guess what? Identical problem... installer can't see the sansa, yet my XP laptop shows it as drive F:\ on my computer (I have the e260 setup as MSC so it's mounts as a USB flash drive when connected to the computer).
It's now up to the wonderful folks here on RockBox to help us debug this issue.
FYI, I've attached a screen shot showing this second e260 clearly mounted as an F:\ on my laptop.
Hoping for a solution soon!
Success Finally!
I used the manual install procedure in the manual and I'm good to go! Hopefully one of the RockBox developers can sort out the issue with the autoinstaller.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem that jwooten, meaning that although I followed to the letter the instructions given in the manual, neither will the automated or the manual installation work... There is always an error with the detection of the player. Uninstalling the Sansa Updater and rebooting didn't change a thing.
I have a Sansa e280, with the 01.02.18A firmware wich I can see as drive F: in "My Computer".
If anyone has any idea, I'd be very interested :)
Thanks !

I had same issue I just backup everything on the unit and had wipe off everything manually. Then use the new program utlity to install a fresh copy of 3.1. Added my music manually to the Music folder. Ran database on the over 1,000 music files. Reboot the Sansa again. Everything works.
e260 and e280
I am using the default theme and got rid all the other themes.
Chronon:
Themes (whether they work or not) won't affect the installation of Rockbox.

If I understand well, you recommend to format the unit and try again ? I don't really see how this could have an influence on wether the software sees it or not...
