I love my Rockbox'd Fuze!

[Konstantinos]

Hi, guys! I'm new to these forums, and I just wanted to drop by and share with you guys a little bit about my experience with Rockbox... among all the threads with problems and whatnot, hopefully my thread should come as a breath of fresh air.

I've been lurking these forums for quite a while, following closely the Rockbox status progress for Fuze v2s, mainly because I wanted a Fuze. Believe me when I tell you that I've read and re-read many, many threads, not only from this forum, but from many others pertaining Rockbox and Fuzes. Finally last friday, I decided to take the plunge and I gifted myself with a 8Gb Fuze v2 as a Xmas present, with the sole purpose of Rockboxing it.

Fast forward to today; Here I am, with my Rockbox'd Fuze, and I couldn't be any happier! The installation was a breeze--completely n00b-proof, I might add, and so far I haven't had any issues with it at all, it works great! Now all I'll need later on is some help tweaking my EQ settings for my newly purchased Sennheiser CX-300 'phones that go along with my Fuze and I can die a happy man!

So I want to thank you all Rockbox Devs for creating and improving such wonderful piece of software!

In return, I'll try to show my appreciation to this wonderful community in the form of themes and anything I can share with you guys. The more, the better.

Again, thanks a bunch! Keep up the great work!

_{BTW: I didn't know where to create this thread, so I figured it'd be fine to create it right here. Please remove/relocate if it's considered out of place.}

Hello there & congrats on your newly Rock'd-Fuze ! lol
I own several Sana E-200's and really love what RB does for them.
So much so that I scored a refurb Fuze on woot recently & want to also RB it.
However...something seems a little strange to me. Checking the version under settings, I show  that it is 2.03.33A, so this is a V2 Fuze, correct?
 However when I d/l the OF for V2 from Sansa & start up the RB utility to install RB, it gives me an error msg, telling me that the V2 OS I point it to per the prompt isn't compatible w/ V1 Fuze. So I d/l V1 OS & reran the utility again, this time everything seems to have installed correctly, RB,Fonts, Themes etc. However, when I boot up the Fuze it goes right into the OS & stays there.
I'm not a Noob at installing RB on Sansas but I admit I'm stumped.
Can you (or anyone) please suggest what I am doing wrong?

You probably told the installer you had a Fuze v1, when in fact you have a Fuze V2.  You'll need to reinstall, this time taking care to select the correct player type.

ah OK, will check what I selected a little more carefully & try again.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks, of course you were right, I had it pointing to Fuze v.1, instead of the (correct) V2.

Cheers
