Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility
NOT clueless but starting to think I should be on the short bus
8lackie:
I used to have an e200, and installed rockbox and it went w/out a hitch.
NOW!
Running os7 ultimate 64
sansa clip plus
firmware: 01.02.09A [now] orig. 01.01.35
Check USB Mode is set to MSC
Went to Sansa site and got firmware.
Installed RxBx untility v1.2.10
Plug in Clip+
Configuration splash screen: Good all is hooked up.
Hit "complete installation"
"progress window" opens---->select firmware file opens: pick "clppa.bin"
downloading bootloader, patching firmware, extracting file etc
theme installation comes up--->I pick 3, fep [cause im old as dirt],iCu, and rene
"installation finiished successfully"
Unplug from USB cable -"firmrware upgrade in progress" -"upgrade completed"
now, and this has happened the last 8 times i've installed this, I turn on the Clip+
I get *panic* in yellow followed by "disk_init failed!
If at this junction I hit the "house" button it boots normally and the power button functions as an off button ...as it should be.
Now I reconnect it to the USB and go in and there is a .rockbox folder.
So what am i doing wrong? I can't listen to "Nurse with Wound" and Barry Manilow like this
thanks in advance for any suggestions or help

Its probably the issue in this thread:

Using the procedure I posted there will likely fix it.

I believe I understand the manual install process although I don't get the command line part of your explanation. Could you elablorate a bit? I can get to the zipfile on my desktop via cmd window, but not sure how that changes things. Also I may be handling it wrong because when I type in the path to the zip file and hit return, it opens a window with .rockbox in it...or is that the point?

I'm not sure what zip you're talking about, but the install directions are in the manual. Just follow them, but when you need to download the bootloader, use the one I linked (which is not a zip file).

I'm curious if your player will downgrade even further then .15. Can you try and see if it will let you flash this firmware file:

You don't need to try that with rockbox, just the regular firmware.

It carried out the downgrade and is working properly. Does flashing the original firmware wipe the bootloader as well?

It does.
Can you use the command line in Windows? If so, you could try using the manual installation instructions in the manual, and then when prompted to download the bootloader, use this one instead:

No idea if a newer bootloader will help, but its probably worth a shot. Some improvements have been made to the storage driver lately.
