Cant get rid of dropbox bootloader.

[harri2cool]

I installed dropbox but later felt that the stock firmware is better for me.

I followed the auto uninstall method and then tried to uninstall the boatloader which said I'll have to uninstall by doing a stock firmware, which I did.

Unfortunately installing from .bin wont remove the rockbox bootloader. I tried it a multiple times by reinstalling and uninstalling the dropbox, bootloader wont leave

Dropbox?

Anyway, assuming you have a sandisk player, just reboot into the sandisk firmware after doing the uninstall and the bootloader will be gone.

Oh sorry I meant Rock box not dropbox :-)
I already did that... it is still there . Its a clip±

Did you see the firmware update screen on your player?

[harri2cool]

Yes the update starts and at the end clip+ switches off.
Then when it powers on the bootloader boots not the sans a firmware.

That probably means you've copied over a patched firmware file, rather then a new one from the sandisk website.

[harri2cool]

No I copied the latest 15MB clppa.bin to the root of the player, which I had down downloaded from sandisk's forums directly.

If you do that the entire firmware partition is erased, and the bin copied over. So either you didn't actually do what you think you did or the bin file you copied was also patched. You will have to figure out which is the case.

can you point out where can I download an older firmware .bin file?
I could try an older firmware... maybe that works.

And I don't think I did a mistake in doing the procedure as described... Stuck with the bootloader.
Isn't there a flashtool to reformat and flash the firmware somehow?

What I did to solve the problem is that I plugged the clip+ and right click Computer icon and then Manage.

I did a fat32 full format of the Clip+ drive and then retransfered the same clppa.bin file to the root and let the player do its update routine and the player booted normally when I powered it on
