Problems Installing Bootloader on Sansaclip Zip
zolo1:
Ok thanks Saratoga, I did reinstall bootloader, used the latest Firmware file this time given on Rockbox Installation page , even though after download it shows as version 01.01.18 not 01.01.20?? Cannot find my version 01.01.20 bin file on Sansa website or online.
However the Bootloader installed again ok/success, after ejecting player, it show updating firmare with success, but after turning on player, I finally saw the Rockbox screen for a split second, but then load error with black screen, and only says : plug USB cable. Does that mean it is bricked or what?
I did replug in player, and all the Sansa and Rockbox folders still show up on my PC only. Not sure what is happening now though.Tks
saratoga:
Did you actually install rockbox or just the bootloader?
zolo1:
Since the Rock Box folders were already showing in Sansa player folder , I only Re-installed the Bootloader, do I need to reinstall everything? Tks

I have the same problems using my Max OSX 10.8 or Windows 7. Every time I try the auto install it does not work. Too bad. I have heard great things about Rockbox but do not think that the Rockbox manual is clear for non computer techie's. An example for Mac OSX and Linux: "Create a folder called "rbinstall" in your home directory, and then extract the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it." Home directory on the Mac or home directory on the Clip Zip?

That's a pretty bad problem description. It actually is that bad that it's unlikely anyone can help you. You might want to post the System Trace of Rockbox Utility after the problem occured, since that can help finding out what your actual problem is. If you read this thread carefully you already had noticed that this is useful information.

What is the home directory on the player supposed to be? There is no such thing, a home directory is always assigned to a user of the machine -- and therefore cannot exist on a player that is only connected parts of the time the computer is running. Plus, these are the manual installation instructions that are not intended for what you call "non computer techie's". This is simply due to what the installation actually is -- I've explained things about this earlier in this thread.
Seriously, if you want help you need to improve your questions.
