Problems Installing Bootloader on Sansaclip Zip
saratoga:
Yes, but what file did you actually give it?
Stevewils:
I surmised from your questions, that the bootloader I supplied was incorrect, so rather than explain which bootloader I gave it, I decided to look for an alternative.
Not sure if I had the wrong bootloader, or if it wasn't actually a bootloader at all! but everything is now installed & working with a different file.
Thanks for the assistance, now off to play.

Wrong. It asks for a Sandisk firmware file, which is something completely different than the bootloader file. The bootloader will be downloaded automatically. If you downloaded a Rockbox bootloader and pointed it to that it surely doesn't recognize it.
What is the filename of the file you pointed it to?

Third time, what file did you actually give it?

Hello guys, I am having same or very similiar problem. I just bought a Sansa Clip Zip 8GB.
Version: v 01.01.20A. I too am not an advanced programmed techie, that appears to be required to troubleshoot RockBox etc. I was able to load Sansa player with my settings and music just like with Ipod etc, without problems.
I first changed to MSC mode in settings, and downloaded the 3 required files in Rockbox etc where I can find them.
In RB Utility, I selected my Sansa clip zip player, even though it shows as Unstable .
then I select to install bootloader in Rock Box Utility, but keep getting stuck at Prerequisites screen: To install Bootloader, need copy of Originial Sandisk Firmware Bin file?
I cannot find this file anywhere on my PC , no where in my Sandisk folder as well. How do I get past this problem, to install Rock Box?? Even tried moving all three files in rbinstall folder, to no avail. Please advise on this issue and Thanks for the help!!!
