Correct .bin file for installation on a Clip Zip?

(1/3) > >>

moxamoll:
I just purchased a Sansa Clip Zip and I am about ready to give up on making the native software work with a microSD card.

I thought I would try RockBox, since it comes up so often in the Sansa threads. I'm using a Mac laptop running OS X. I opened the RockBox Utility and found the correct device and mount point. I selected Stable Release (Version 3.13). I checked Bootloader, Rockbox and Fonts and clicked Install. I got the pop-up about requiring the original Sandisk firmware (bin file). I had previously downloaded this file and mounted it on the player. So I clicked Ok and navigated to it again (clpzV010121.bin). I get an error message saying that "Original firmware unknown... " and the tested version list only goes to 1.01.20 - does this mean that the version I have won't work?

How do I complete the install?

Thank you!!!

saratoga:
Just use an older firmware file. 

moxamoll:
Where do I get one from?

saratoga:
I believe the installer provides a link to our wiki page where you can get the firmware.  Alternatively, you can get the old firmware files from the sandisk forums.

Moxamoll,
Please try this link to find your bin file,

I use windows but I think that this might also work for you. I have a Sans Clip Zip and got to the stage where it was asking me for a .bin file. I too was puzzled until [Saint] gave me the link. Download it to a recognised place on your computer and then unzip the file in the same location. Then, as part of the installation process, it requests the .bin file point it in the direction of the place where you saved it on your computer.

I hope this helps.
