Sansa Fuze+
highwar:
hello
I am new to rockbox there are a few stuff I dont understand
I tried to install the file of sansa fuze plus ( the rockbox-sansafuzeplus file ' I unzipped it)
and copied it to the player ( it was at msc usb mode)
but it doesnt work what do I need to do ? is there a simple way ?
edit I put the .rockbox folder and the firware.sb at the player at msc mode but the original os still pops up
buckminster:
If the firmware.sb is in the root folder of the fuze+, it should have caused the fuze+ to go into it's firmware update mode once you unplugged it from your computer. If it didn't, then you didn't put the file in the correct directory. Both the .rockbox folder and the firmware.sb should be in the root (main) folder of the fuze+ (there should be other folders there like Music, Playlists, Recordings, etc.).
Someone else will need to confirm, but I think the RockboxUtility might work for a more automated install of the bootloader and firmware now.

To install Rockbox, copy firmware.sb (you need to patch it with Rockbox bootloader first) and .rockbox directory to player root.
After reboot, player should go into firmware upgrade mode. After the upgrade is finished, Rockbox should boot by default. To boot the OF, hold volume down key when powering on.

I did it just as you siad and it did do updating sansa fuze screen but after that it went to the original system.. is there a way like pushing a combination of keys to start rockbox os ?
