Clip+ with firmware 01.02.15A

(1/2) > >>

Saphrano:
Hello,

Just today I purchased a new Clip+, but it has a newer firmware 01.02.15A and rockbox installer complains:

--- Code: ---[ERR]  Original firmware unknown, please try an other version. Tested Clip+v1 versions are : 01.02.09, 01.02.13, 01.02.15
--- End code ---

What should I do now, downgrade?

It doesn't matter what firmware version you have installed, just what firmware version you provide to the installer.  Just give it one of those versions and it should work (no matter what you have installed on your player).

Well, how could I know that :) Maybe I should have said that I use "Rockbox Utility" instead of installer, 'cause it asked me for a bootloader file, not a firmware.

Now I downloaded the original sandisk 01.02.15 firmware, extracted, and there are two files: clpp_data.dat (5.4MB) and clppa.bin (15MB). Which one is what?

UPD: I made it :) it needed clppa.bin.

UPD2: Hm, I installed both bootloader and rockbox itself, no errors or whatsoever. But after reboot it loads the original sandisk firmware. I also tried to run RockboxUtility with sudo as it complained previously:

--- Code: ---[ERR]  FATAL: Permission denied on 4 device(s) and no sansa detected.
[ERR]  You need permissions for raw disc access for this program to work!

--- End code ---

then properly dismounted clip+. In the root of clip clppa.bin and .rockbox/ appeared, so I suppose installation went ok. Still, it doesn't load rockbox.

I wonder if I should try mkamsboot.

UPD3: Finlay I made it manually with mkamsboot  :P

Assuming the installer that is not rockbox utility is mkamsboot, it actually asked you for both.

If it reboots into the Sandisk firmware, then you didn't install the bootloader.  From your description I have no idea what you did.  Explain the steps and the software you used and I can tell you what to do.

Sorry, I forgot that installer != RButil. So, after I read that

--- Code: ---Fuzev2/Clip+: Some models won't patch with RButil 1.2.7. Use mkamsboot.
--- End code ---

I went with mkamsboot and successfully installed rockbox manually.
