Is it possible to dual boot with a Sansa Clip (v2)?
« on: September 03, 2013, 01:12:56 AM »
For clarification I mean http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipv2/rockbox-build.html this version.

Been looking around to see if I could find anything close to an answer for this, the closest I came to finding an answer was: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71845 and it didn't help in the slightest, I know it's for a different version but using a bit of common sense still didn't help (maybe I'm just being a muppet and it's actually easy.)

Anyway, is it possible to dual boot on this device and if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, I obviously didn't look hard enough/gave up too easily. I can switch between rockbox and the default now for daytime/night time.

As a side note to this post, is Rockbox similar across all devices? I'm probably going to get a Sansa Clip+ next month, hoping it's just as good.

Thanks again, really do appreciate the help.

Hi there,
I saw that you were able to switch  boot from Rockbox to sansa firmware. I was able to boot up from Rockbox to sansa clip by pressing left and hold power, but i cannot make it boot back to rockbox. Can you please tell me how did you do it?
Thanks a lot.

Nothing special is required to boot Rockbox.  Just power down the Sandisk firmware and then when you power back up you will be in rockbox.

Hi Saratoga,
Thank you so much for responding, but that doesn't work for me. Would you know the reason (s) or what I could try? I did try with or without the clip + plugged into the USB and nothing worked. It only boots in Sansa.
I really appreciate if you can help.
Thanks again

Sounds like you don't have Rockbox installed.

But i did have it installed. I only tried to boot back into the firmware, then switch back, so what could have happened?
Thanks again

Either you uninstalled it or you haven't explained yourself correctly.
