Installation blocked on clip+, please help

[rockpatched]

Hi,
I'm trying to auto install and can't load the firmware file from the sansa clip+ with the automate installation.

There is a bin file and a sdk file (the sdk file contains this :
Product: Clip+
FW: V01.02.09A
Region: Americas

So what does the rockbox need? where can I find the firmware file?
Thanks

Ps : I'm completely new to this, and i'm french (poor english)

You can download a firmware file from sandisk.  There should be a link on the wiki and on the popup screen in rockbox utility.

Thank you for helping but I think I don't understand what is exactly needed.

I had a bin file in the sansa and it disapeared  after I upgraded the firmware from sandisk right now.
Now my clip is upgraded and I tried with a new file named .fin (?) but the installer don't want it.
There is no bin file in my sansa clip+ system anymore and the one I had was not accepted...(and yes masked files are unchecked)

I think I will stop triyng   
or do I have to find the file on sandisk's web?

Download the bin file again, and this time do not put it on your clip.  Then run the installer, and when it asks for a firmware file, select the bin file.  That is all you have to do.

I come back to relate my opinion...rockbox it's not stable on the sansa clip+  For example when using radio I have to shut it down because it's blocked on radio. Some other submenus don't work either. But most important thing is volume level is blocked on 6db. I don't know it's because of regions? mine is put on america or was before I updated the firmware...I can't check with rockbox

Equalizer is well working

I was triyng rockbox for evantually give it to a blind friend because it is voicing the menus ...but not in french
 I hope he will be able to make it work in english...well it's enought intuitive and simple for basic use...really great idea to make it speek for non-seeing people !

I hope a stable version is soon to be available
Thanks to all developers, great work

Never heard of these problems, can you describe them in more detail?

Settings in the original firmware don't change anything in rockbox.  That said, no one has reported any problems changing volume either.  In fact it works great on mine.  Can you describe this problem in more detail?

Ok i'm a idiot...I just realized that clicking 2 times on shut button makes main menu appear so no problem for radio. I passed an hour checking everything and triyng every possibities, and guess what, it's working well but :

for the volume level : it shows -81 to 6 db and i can begin to hear something at -44 db or so...perhaps it's normal but at 6 db it's not hyper loud...loud enought but I would support louder without killing my ears...

and I need to find something for the voicing in french ! That's all

Thanks for your interrest it obliged me to make the needed efforts, haha

The manual shows the keymap for all the screens if you're in doubt.

for the volume level : it shows -81 to 6 db and i can begin to hear something at -44 db or so...perhaps it's normal but at 6 db it's not hyper loud...loud enought but I would support louder without killing my ears...

+6dB is the loudest the hardware supports.  Its about a half volt, which is fairly loud for a portable device.  If its quieter then the OF, you're probably screwing something up with the DSP and making the volume really low.

hum what means OF ?  I have put everything on 0 to be sure, no filters, nothing.

But I supose it can be the headphones need more power, i have tried superlux (56 ohms) and after koss ur40 and in the end just tried the earbuds delivered with and yes its a bit louder with the buds...double idiot tonight...man i'm too tired, i need this gift working for tomorrow i'm in a hurry... it's not totally ready!
I bought a ampli FiiO to go with and just waiting for it, should come soon....

Thanks for your needed help, and yes i'm allergic to read notices
