Problem with Rockbox manual installation on Sansa Clip Zip
steak:
I simply think one (or more) files downloaded and used for the manual install "command prompt are wrong. I'll try again in a few days when I have my ClipZip.
Still interested in expert opinion but... don't give it if you think it's a waste of time : you won't waste mine but yours indeed.

No. I've been asking questions. Maybe questions you didn't like too much since I was questioning the reasoning of your choice of doing things. Anyway, for the actual problem:

How does "no file created" look like? Did mkamsboot output something? Did it output a success message? An error message? That's what saratoga was asking for -- the log of the commands you typed *and* the output of those. Knowing you typing the correct commands doesn't indicate everything is ok ...
However, this is pretty easy to figure by simply checking the binary you use. Looking on the download server I find:

Looking into the log of mkamsboot source I find:

mkamsboot: add support for clip zip original firmware 01.01.20 (tested by me)
--- End quote ---
which makes it clear why not file gets created. I would expect mkamsboot to output a message stating that it doesn't understand the firmware file you told it to patch. However, since you never told us about this I have no idea if that happened. Or if not, in which case it might be a good idea to implement this in mkamsboot.
In the end you have two options: use Rockbox Utility. Or build yourself an updated mkamsboot. There's a reason why we recommend Rockbox Utility all the time ...
Edit: ok, I'm somewhat wrong here -- support for the Clip Zip has been added back in 2011. However, since support for the firmware mentioned above has been added after the binary has been built I wouldn't be surprised for the firmware you've been using to be exactly that version -- or perhaps even a newer, in case Sandisk released an update since. So there could still be another cause for your problems ...

It's not that I don't like your questions it's that somehow sometimes they sound more like value judgment than actual questions.
It's not only hard to understand IT, I also have to understand you !! But then just fair enough you don't always understand me...
Anyway I apologize for any previous/next time I have/would offend you un-intentionally AND I don't mind you telling me when you feel taht way as such feedback is good for self knowledge.

No file, no output message, nothing. That would have made sense and I am relieved to see I was more or less right about what saratoga meant by log.

Answer is "not". Glad I help you getting a good idea

I don't mind

I just did ! Only so far it works with an abacus.
3rd option: I'll be using manual install whenever mkamsboot gets updated :P

Indeed it's v.01.01.20, downloaded 2 days ago so an update would be really NEW

While Huxley is an author, he did not write 1984.

Its good that you've figured out what a log is, but you still haven't posted it . . .

How disgraceful ! I meant Orwell, too late for editing. Augh! Let's keep this between us and the rest of internet.

No file, no output message, nothing. Not even a log to post. Or I'm mad again.
