Rockbox Utility installs both bootloader and rockbox but only ofw loads
« on: May 16, 2013, 12:38:08 AM »
Hey guys,

I auto detected my Sansa Clip Zip with the Rockbox utility.

All the boxes were checked off except themes.

I clicked install, and it did just that.


I tried clicking the eject button on the rockbox utility, it said it couldn't.
So i tried ejecting it on My Computer.

I took disconnected the USB cable.


It said to wait, but after like 2-3 min, nothing happened.


What did i do wrong ?


I mean, i have windows xp x64, does that have anything to do with it ?

Usually when people report this problem its because they pointed the installer at their hard drive rather than their mp3 player.

Awesome, that did the trick and thanks for the quick reply



I bought a 64GB micro sd card
MicroSDXC

The only available file format was exfat for some reason


How do I get rockbox to see it ?

Where do I go from the main menu to find an mp3 I just added ?

You'll need to format it fat32.  Windows won't do that, but lots of other software will.  Search the forums or check google.

You'll also need to change the partition type I think, if you haven't already.
