I CANNOT install Rockbox on my brand new Sansa Fuze V2

Please tell me the exact files I will need and exactly how to install them and in what order. I have ran the rockbox installer like 20 times and have had it tell me it was successful at least 10, BUT IT WILL NOT BOOT ROCKBOX! PLease answer me ASAP as I find this extremely distressful!

Explain what you did and maybe someone can tell you want went wrong.

Alternatively, there are detailed install directions in the manual for your player.

Nothing!

Its hard to judge what the problem is unless you're going to give slightly more then one word answers. 

Maybe you should start from the beginning explaining exactly what you did.

I ran full installation on the automated installer, and tried SEVERAL bootloaders fuzpA.bin mkamsboot.exe, mkamsboot.c bootloaderfuzev2.sansa and a prolly a few others. Always after rockboxinstaller 1.2.11 prompted me for the file. Now which way would you recommend me install it? I belive it is a fuze V2 as thats what it auto detects and the firmware ir 02.33.33a (or whatever the latest is)

Is there a step I am missing? or does the automated installer do it all, you just need the proper bootloader?

WHAT THE HELL!!! I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT! IT EVEN SAYS I HAVE BUT IT WILL NOT BOOT TO ROCKBOX!!

Problem solved...I love that rockbox tell ya that you need to manually add the bootloader before you add the firmware, AND that you have to add the second part of the firmware file manually

Obviously you haven't done everything right. No need to scream around.

I don't understand this. What is unclear with the installer?
