Clip V2: Not powering on after Rockbox Install

<< < (4/5) > >>

Lacrocious:
Hi Fugu,
Thank you for the pin's.  I will try it again soon. 

Hey Fugu - I tried again with Success!  ;D   My clip is active again.  The key was the pins you found - so a big Thank You!

Funman - your script to watch the log in realtime was a lifesaver - it make it much easier to try the repeated shorting of the pins and insert/remove/repeat of the usb cable.

I would also suggest that you take a short USB cable plugged into the clip, then insert the end of the cable into your pc - it is much easier to keep the pins shorted without having to insert a cable into the clip.

hi guys, just a heads-up: the latest Rockbox 3.7.1 bricks the Clip v2. I had exactly this experience today and wasn't as fortunate in disassembling my Clip, which is now in the garbage.

Steps to repeat:
-download Rockbox installer
-plug in Clip
-find mount point, select device type
-install, wait for success message, safely remove device from within OS
-let Clip "update firmware"
-Clip just died horribly.

I registered solely to bring this message to anybody else who might otherwise have bricked an otherwise working Clip. Good luck all.

Chronon:
It sounds like you may have been a bit hasty.

saratoga:
It might be neat to see a copy of the NAND flash after someone unbricks one of these clipv2's that doesn't flash a firmware update correctly.

Check hotwaterbottle's trash...
