Double boot on X5 ?
Llorean:
You didn't even mention that you'd visited the main site, since you explicitly asked for directions that could be found in this forum.
As for installing the bootloader: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioBoot
ya1950:
jjllee - did you change the name of the bin file from new_x5_fw.bin to x5_fw.bin? From your description it sounds to me like the x5 is not recognizing the firmware file. Make sure that the name of the new file is x5_fw.bin. Anything else and the machine will not upgrade the firmware.
One thing further - in addition to the doubleboot firmware you will also need to unzip and copy the daily build of Rockbox to your machine. If you look here you will find several versions of the software which include the patches needed to run some of the wps interfaces for the x5:

Hope this helps.
I would like to thank RaeNye for this easy way for us non-programers to create a double bootloader. I just tried it and it worked a charm! And thanks to all the hard working Rockbox developers who are spending so much time on this. I don't know how you guys do it but all of us are reaping the benefits of your time and efforts. Thanks!

Are newer versions of Rockbox incompatible with the dualboot firmware and if so can someone suggest a version that works well?

Have you tried resetting your settings by holding REC on RB boot?
dual bootloader works for every cvs version I know of.

OK tried again and it's working, thanks.

Hello,
I tried the stable version that was posted on this thread with OF 2.10e (downloaded from cowenglobal site) and I also used "rockbox-iaudiox5-20060822.zip" build of Rockbox. Now, when I press the power button on the remote, RB does load, but when I press play or vol jogs on the remote the player crashes. I need to hold power on the main unit and in about 10seconds it powers down. I tried other older build of rockbox and this behavious is consistant (the player crashes). When I hold power on the remote, the OF loads and remote functions as normal.
Is there something I'm missing here. I can't seem to do anything via remoe after RB loads since it crashes the player.
Any suggestions?
