Hey !
Alarm clock work for you and it's me or it's normal ?

Hey guys, just bought a Fuze+ but having a little trouble getting Rockbox loaded. I can't use the rockbox utility so I am trying to follow the directions under "Alternative Method" at [1].
I downloaded [2] and extracted it to the device root (so there is now a .rockbox folder there). I downloaded [3] and added it to the root. Then I did safe eject in windows and removed the cord from the device. A screen popped up that said "Fuze+ Updating...", and then the device rebooted back into the original firmware.
I tried this again a couple times and then tried following the same procedure with [4] (making sure to rename it to firmware.sb), but the same thing happened. No rockbox, just the original firmware.
Did I miss anything? Maybe I should check the hash of the firmware.sb on the USB device before ejecting to make sure it hasn't gotten corrupted.

Hi,
I can think of two possibilities: the firmware you downloaded is corrupted and you should download it again, or you have a device with a new version of the firmware and since it prevents downgrading, it refuses to upgrade. You can check the second theory easily: go into the device parameters and find the OF version. The latest known one is current 2.36.08

Thanks very much pamaury. After a redownload today, I had success!
I would also like to express my gratitude for your work on this rockbox port. So far the Fuze+ is much nicer to use with rockbox than my tiny Clip Zip. I really enjoy being able to read filenames and menus without having to scroll, and the touchscreen seems less susceptible to accidental button presses when I put the device in my pocket. Overall it is a big improvement for me.

Hello guys, just a side question... I'm using from long time Rockbox on my fuze+ and I greatly appreciate the work done! I'd would ask if it is a known glitch/issue or it is just my unit that sometimes, during audio playback, some buffers get lost and you hear a sudden jump in the stream.
