sansa c200 force boot into rockbox?

(1/2) > >>

liquid boy:
I've done a search, not quite sure what terms to use though, so possibly missed an obvious post...

i've got a sansa c200 running rockbox v3.3 (installed from current build).

i'm wondering if i can force boot into rockbox, in the following situations:

 iv'e got an ac power -> usb adaptor, when i plug it in, it automatically turns on, runs the rockbox screen, then goes to the origional firmware. at the moment, to get it to run rockbox while plugged in, i have to start it first, and then plug it in once it's up and running.

when it's turned off while plugged in, and i turn it on, it does the same thing as above, unless i unplug it, turn it on and plug it back in.


also, is there a way to completely remove the origional firmware?

gevaerts:
I can't really guess what "rockbox v3.3 (installed from current build)" is supposed to mean, but it seems that you're using an outdated bootloader. The new bootloader (which was released in July 2009) doesn't boot to the OF anymore for USB.

liquid boy:
um, i downloaded the c200 .zip file from "current builds', when i looked in the info file, i thought it said it was version 3.3, maybe i mis read this...

i tried reinstalling version 5.3.1 and 'current build' using the auto installer, it still does the same thing (with both versions)


from your response, with current builds, when i plug it in turned off, it should load directly into rock box?

[Saint]:
Update the bootloader, as well.
Gevaerts reply was hinting at this.

AlexP:
The current version is 3.5.1, but you will note that gevaerts said that you need to update the bootloader, and not the build.  This can be done from Rockbox Utility
