Sansa clip+ problem with latest releases

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I was running 3.7 firmware on my sansa clip+ and experienced sometimes freezing device during playback so I decided upgrade.
Booting 3.9 firmware, but only asterisk appears after restart ... pressing any button make system rebooting ... again just "*" (no any menu).
I tried 3.8.1 ... endless scanning for files ... menu never appears.
Finally 3.7.1 make things works ... not tested long enough to know if occasional freezes disappeared.

(manual installation - linux)

best regards

mira

JdGordon:
Did you update the bootloader or just the rockbox.zip when you updated to 3.9?

mira.mikes:
Yes, I updated bootloader too.

saratoga:
Try reformatting the disk from the sandisk firmware.  Its possible the file system is corrupted. 

3.7 might be more tolerant of a broken file system because back then we didn't have dircache on by default ( you had to actually turn it on in the settings menu). 

mira.mikes:
Reformatting helps! :)

Thank you! I am now running 3.9 withouth any problems.

BTW for what is dircache good, should I have it on?

regards

mira
