[SOLVED] Installing to C250 V2 ; File Not Found when loading Firmware.

(1/6) > >>

ScottMartin:
I have tried to install the latest version of RB onto my C250 today and I seem to be having problems as well.

Downloaded the lasted C250 Firmware
Downloaded lasted RB software for C200V2
Downloaded mkamsboot and patched successfully:
>> [INFO] Patching succeeded!

Copied the outputed BIN file (renamed to C200PA.BIN) to root of device
Copied .rockbox to root of device

Ejected, powered on. Firmware updated successfully ...

I get the rockbox logo, then I get:
Loading Firmware: File not Found.

What am I missing?

Using U9.10, amd64. OS loads USB fine.

Regards,
Scott.

saratoga:
Usually that means you didn't actually copy the .rockbox folder to the device.  I'd make sure its there and that its intact.

Also, FWIW some c200v2s have trouble installing rockbox, but from the error message you got it sounds like yours isn't one of them.

ScottMartin:
I have read other replies stating that missing files are the reason, but I am looking right at it ;)
All the files seem to be the same as the Archive, sizes ... etc.

Any other thoughts?

I am correct in the DIR off the root is .rockbox (displayed as a hidden DIR in Linux)?

Scott.

That's my understanding.  So {mountpoint}/.rockbox (or whatever) should be populated.  Are there really files/dirs under .rockbox?  It's really a dir and not a renamed .tarball or something? 

Forgive me if it's too obvious, but sometimes I do a sanity check with something like:
file {mountpoint} to make sure I know what that entry really is
find {mountpoint} -print to make sure the system sees files/dirs there

I have the daily build running on my c240v2 but it really is unstable.  Navigates fine, FM is fine, but playback usually hangs on the 2nd or 3rd track played.  The UI remains responsive.

ScottMartin:
Yes sir, everyone is present and accounted for. It is a real DIR and not an archive.

btw, what file is 'not found'. A bit of a generic error. There should be more info.

Regards,
Scott.
