It installs ok but when I unplug from usb it goes back to stock firmware ;( any tips?

Using FuzeA.bin

From the SansaAMS wiki page:

* SansaAMS  v1: To allow booting into Rockbox upon USB connection while power is off, you must create a new patched firmware upgrade file using mkamsboot v1.4 and a v2.0 bootloader file. Links to mkamsboot and the bootloader files can be found in the manual installation section below.

It sounds like you installed Rockbox on your Fuze with the RockboxUtility.  The fuze bootloader and mkamsboot bootloader patching utility have been updated since the latest version of the RockboxUtility was released.

Follow the manual installation instructions on the SansaAMS wiki page and patch a new firmware upgrade using the version 1.4 mkamsboot and the version 2.0 bootloader.  Copy the patched firmware upgrade file to your Fuze and rename it to match the name of your OF firmware file.  Safely remove and disconnect your Fuze.  You may need to reboot to the OF to initiate the firmware upgrade.

Once the firmware upgrade has completed, your Fuze should enter the Rockbox USB mode whenever connected, even when the Fuze is powered off.

I've been having a very similar problem, but despite these tips still can't get rockbox installed.
I'm running OS X 10.5.8, and the 4gig Fuze I just received is V02.03.33A

The firmware file which corresponds with this version number is fuzpa.bin, while the fuzea.bin apparently corresponds to a different (V01) version.

The issue I seem to be running into is that neither the automatic installer or the mkamsboot-mac manual installer is willing to work with the fuzpa.bin file.  When I run mkamsboot-mac on this file I get this message:
"[ERR]  OF File provided is Fuzev2 version 2.03.33, not for Fuzev1
[ERR]  Could not load fuzpa.bin"

I have run through the same process with the fuzea.bin file and it worked like a charm.  I loaded the new fuzea.bin file onto my player and nothing happened.  I then renamed it fuzpa.bin and the player detected it and attempted to update its firmware.  After a few seconds of this message the player turned off, the firmware was not installed, and the .bin file had been deleted.

Any idea what my problem could be?

thanks,
Chris
