ROCKbox BOOT LOADER versions

(1/1)

CurlySue:
Hi,

My RB boot loader is version 5.0

As I now understand, RB 3.7.X and the 'major skin-breaking changes project' effected Themes that were installed prior to 3.7, etc.

Has there been a new boot loader release since 5.0 and if so, where may I find it and how should it be installed (i.e. over 5.0, or after 5.0 is removed, etc)?

Thanks,

CurlySue

I love RB on my Sandisk Sansa e200 player and have been using RB for over 2 years - always using the Manual Install method, and I am not interested in using the Automatic Installer.

UPDATE

Okay, I caved and downloaded the Automatic Insaller.  Next, using the AI 1.2.8 version, I uninstalled the existing 5.0 Boot Loader and then, using the Minimal Install option, installed the new Boot Loader 6.0 and RB 3.7.1 as well. 

Thus far, all looks well.

Thanks again, St.  :)

Last modified 05-Jul-2009, so...I'm pretty sure you'll have the current bootloader on there.

Even if you didn't, however...it has no effect on how a skin is displayed on your device if that's what you're thinking.
