Sansa Fuze+

[metaphys]

@pamaury:
Actually that radio button freeze might not be related to the radio code:
I noticed that the solitaire plugin that used to work give me the very same behaviour (no touchpad respond) quite interessing is that it only occurs on this plugins. So there might be something special with it that occurs also with radio.

Sorry if this is completely redundant, but I can't get the Rockbox utility to recognize my Fuze plus, either through autodetect, or manually. I see it in explorer, and can load files to the device. Does anyone have any ideas?

[alienkid10]

Trailblazer: This should bein thr RB util forum but, is it in MSC mode? (hold voldwn while plugging in to make sure.) It should have a drive letter if it is in MSC mode.

[Trailblazer7818]

I just tried that, And it sees the device, and autodetect sees it.  but it won't take the update. When I run the bootloader, and point it to the firmware file, it says patching file, and then the Utility just closes, and the device doesn't update. I tried redownloading the file, and I get the same result.

There is an issue with the current rbutil closing if something wrong arises. It's fixed in git but we haven't released it yet. Are you sure you are using the right files for patching ?

EDIT: Ah right, on windows there is random error, you need to get the dev version.

No, the issue is when trying to patch the firmware file on Windows. It is not caused by an error (well, technically it's an error, but it's not a user error and nothing a user can do anything about -- except using a different version or OS).

You need to use a version later than 1.2.12. Get a development binary at the link in my signature.

Thanks! Worked great.. Any known issues I should watch out for with this version?
Post Merge: February 29, 2012, 10:03:49 PMHave another issue.. I don't know if it's related to the firmware, but after it's been playing for a while, the cursor goes to the bottom most position unless I shut it down and restart, then it works for awhile, and does the same thing again. I scroll up, and as soon as I let go, it goes to the bottom most position.. Any ideas?

For those not keeping an eagle eye on the Port Status page, it looks like V8 of the bootloader was made available today. The only difference of which I'm aware is a longer button hold to turn on the RB firmware.

yay meta fixed the keymaps again! Thanks meta! I haven't upgraded my BL yet and won't until after the weekend since I'm without internet except for basic browsing right now.

I noticed that I cannot upgrade my bootloader if the firmware.sb file is installed from rockbox usb. I had to copy it with original firmware usb mode to have my file picked up to upgrade

@alienkid10:
we actually don't know exactly how they did get out of the tree
@buckminster:
that's the only modification.

I'm still waiting for the next official Rockbox Utility release before I can remove this wiki alternative method. It seems some problem has to be solved before its release

I should release a touchpad sensitivity setting very soon. Actually the patch is ready but I have to wait for approvement from the developer community to be sure it's clean enough.
git people may have a look here http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/123/

I also had this problem.I can't update my bootloader to V8 and even original firmware.But sometimes before was OK.
To solve this, I boot my fuze+ in original firmware, and  reset setting. Then I can update bootloader normally.

Sorry for my poor engling

Confirmed.
Problem is, if you connect USB while running OF, you get the rockbox bootloader USB mode screen.
I've changed between MSC and MTP modes in the OF and can't seem to get it to connect in the OF.
Which means that I can't get it to detect the firmware file which makes it impossible to upgrade.
-sigh-

I'm currently running bootloader V7 (r31459-111229)
Suggestions?

I just didn't fully understand

First copy the file to the internal memory.
To kick off the upgrade, boot into OF, go to settings and select "Restore"
Restart the player and it will begin the upgrade.

[alienkid10]

I have an easier way to upgrade:
make sure player is off
hold vol-down
connect USB cable
release vol-down after 3-10 seconds
you are now in OF-USB mode.

Hi.

I just bought my Sansa Fuze+ And installed latest rockbox. But I am quite new to this so where do I see bootloader version I am using?.

[ddscentral]

I don't remember having to use OF USB mode when updating to bootloader V8.
I've just uploaded the firmware file in RB bootloader USB mode and then rebooted to OF (OF automatically triggered the update).
