Hi,
install instruction for the bootloader are here: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SonyNWZE370Port and to install the main binary, download http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-sonynwze370.zip and extract it at the root of the device. The bootloader has working USB mode so you can always upload the firmware once you have installed the bootloader.
Hi,
I am having major problems installing rockbox on my sony e383.
first of all theres no manual, the link is dead.
i copied firmware.sb (renamed it already) to MP_ROOT in the sony drive.
after from my understanding i unplug the player and then plug it back in holding hte power button for 2 seconds. the screen goes black and then the typical sony usb connected screen shows up.
Im assuming rockbox utility doesnt work because i dont see sony on the list, and i saw on one of the pages that there was something separate for sony.
this is really difficult.
Hi, looks like you have to download this one bootloader:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3hrzdy8dfk5140/sonynwze380_rb_firmware.sb?dl=0Next, make sure when you plug your player into your pc it shows up as mass storage device. Example below how you might put it into that mode.
Check your device letter in "My Computer"/"This PC". For example: WALKMAN (H:)
If you don't see any letter, that probably means your device is set in MTP mode instead of MSC mode. In this case, open the Device Manager, under 'Portable Devices' you should see WALKMAN. Right-click on it, select "Update Driver Software.." then "Browse my computer for driver software" then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Choose "USB Mass Storage Device" and click on "Next".
Next, copy the that file you downloaded and copy it directly to the main area of the device, example, if you plug in player and double click on it to see its contents: that is where you will put the file you downloaded.
Next, RENAME the file to firmware.sb
Next, safely eject device from computer.
Next, reboot/restart or power off you player and power it on again. I'm not sure from the instructions whether you need to boot to your original sony firmware or not. I suppose you can try and wait to see if upgrade screen comes up and if it doesn't try to boot to original firmware and then see if upgrade screen comes up.
Next, wait until the installation is finished, it can take several minutes. Do not reset your player during that time.
Next, i suppose after the bootloader has finished installing, you will need to reconnect your player to your pc and download a version like this one from the dev build page
https://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-sonynwze370.zipNext, extract the .rockbox folder from it and copy the folder to the same the main area of your device like what i mentioned above. Disconnect player from pc and if you might need to power on and off to get rockbox firmware. Hope this helps.
