Installed in Windows/Trying to Remove in Ubuntu [Linux]
« on: February 26, 2009, 07:09:03 PM »
Hello, I have installed Rockbox on my Sansa e250 while ago and decided to remove it.

I thought I just had to removed ".rockbox" folder on my sansa disk, but it didn't remove properly and I had to press "left" button whenever I have to power on it. And it's really annoying.

I recently updated my computer with Linux Ubuntu 10.4 and have no idea how to remove it.

Any Help, please?

You need to remove the bootloader.

http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-210002.5

Scroll up a bit from there to see links to Rockbox Utility and sansapatcher (they both run on Linux).

Be aware that you need to run Rockbox Utility / sansapatcher as root to uninstall the bootloader.

What steps have you taken to uninstall the bootloader.  What specific trouble are you having?

I downloaded rubutilqt 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 because first one did not work.

1) I set up my sansa as MSC
2) I booted up as sansa firmware
3) I connected my sansa to Linux
4) started up rockboxutility
5) I went to "installation" then clicked on "remove the bootloader" and that's what is happening.

EdIt: OK, I also tried to do manual uninstillation, when I went to install bootloader, but I get HTTP 404 error too!

Are you running RBUtil as an administrator? Did you right click on it, and specifically choose to?

What do you mean by "run as administrator"?

Edit: Oh yes, it's my personal computer.

Thanks for in advance.

This doesn't mean anything. Please check the user permissions in the About / System Info dialog. Pasting its output here would be helpful too (you can Copy & paste from that dialog).

Just precede rbutil with gksudo when you launch it from the terminal.

Go to the terminal, change directories to where you have rbutil and gksudo ./rbutilqt
