Problem with Rockbox manual installation on Sansa Clip Zip
bluebrother:
I've tried this (though on OS X right now) and I get the following output:
--- Code: ---$ ./mkamsboot-mac clpza.bin bootloader-clipzip.sansa patched.bin
mkamsboot Version 1.5

[ERR] Original firmware unknown, please try an other version. Tested ClipZipv1 versions are : 1.01.12, 1.01.15, 1.01.17, 1.01.18
[ERR] Could not load clpza.bin
--- End code ---
You really don't get a "Original firmware unknown" output?

All I get is a black window flashing up for a fraction of a second. The same pops up for a longer time when using manual install for Clip+ AND I get a patched file (so far I assume it works), that's all. I managed to take a screenshot of both and I am definitely sure I could not see more lines in the 1st screen.
One thing seems weird to me. Why is rb Utility working with the Sandisk OF file v01.01.20 I downloaded and the manual install not ? Do they use different versions of mkamsboot.exe... and then why ? Or does the Utility work in a different way ?

Pops up? Are you actually running the command from a cmd prompt? You are *not* supposed to start mkamsboot by clicking on it / creating a shortcut to start it.

Rockbox Utility gets updated more often than mkamsboot (and other firmware patching tools).

This is how your command line output is supposed to look like (and how you are supposed to use it). I'm using the folder the manual suggests, though the folder used isn't relevant as long as you can write to it. You can also copy the text from that window (using the menu that pops up when you click the window icon). That output is what we call "log".
(Note: seems I can't attach files when editing an existing post)

My mistake, I never realized what the manual meant by "cmd prompt" and never actually used it !! Instead I executed the command line directly through WinXP StartMenu>Execute>command line>Ok_button.
So much for the time wasted ! Now I understand all about the bloody "log". Sorry for all the hassle but that was foreign2 language to me.
(Funnily I started using computers when prompt or whatever I should call it were just about to be replaced by Windows, so maybe I should have remembered...)
Back to subject, now at last I do get the log indeed :
