Rockbox Development > New Ports
iBasso DX50
RockBoxNewB:
Thank you very much, ArgelErx. Your reply is a huge help already.
I will work my way through the installation process again. Now that I finally know how to open the DualBoot menu, there is definitely nothing wrong with having both firmwares installed on the device.
The thing with the SD card will remain a problem, though. I have DEFINITELY opened Files>mnt>external_sd, and it was empty. I tried to format the sd card from the menu I can open by pressing Volume Up+Power (the CWM menu or what its name is), and it also didn't help. What confused me: after I formatted the SD card from that menu, when I connected the SD to my computer, my music files were still on it. I checked the card, it's FAT32 formatted, so that shouldn't be an issue...right? Is there any other thing I might have forgotten and which might cause these SD problems?
Again, thanks a lot.

EDIT: For some reason, I can't get to installing Rockbox anymore. I used the RKbatch tool, and flashed the update.img to the device. From the CWM recovery menu, I decided to try the other .zip file (the one by isergachev), but it did not work...I thought maybe it doesn't work with iBasso FW 1.5. Then, I put cholero's .zip on the SD card and tried to install it...but I received the same error as I did with the isergachev file. It would not work anymore. I couldn't do anything but revert to the stock FW using RKbatch...AGAIN. Damn, I really don't know what went wrong this time!

Using CWM for more than flashing and factory reset might be dangerous. I've used the two afore mention functions (and had a backup plan in case of bricking the device) but i would not rely on anything else. We do not know how thouroughly the creators of this CWM have tested their creation.
I've formated by SD Card on my PC (gparted, Linux) with FAT32. It works as expected ...
As for your card, if it works with the original firmware, than it should work with Rockbox. After all its just a different programm running on the same OS using the same access methods.
There are some settings in Rockbox that influence what files are shown (Settings -> Files IIRC) and AFAIK ther are certain file names that are not shown at all (starting with '.' for example).

If you used the description on head-fi (http://www.head-fi.org/t/709855/rockbox-for-ibasso-dx50-cwm-recovery-latest-update-2014-09-15) follow it exactly. Start with clean original firmware version 1.5. Use choleros image.
I did not use RKbatch tool.
But its been a while since i did this. I am currently on development version where most of the flashing is not necessary anymore. But thats for a upcoming release ...
sduck:
You shouldn't have to use RKbatch tool at all for installation of rockbox, etc. It's only needed in case of extreme fubarness.
RockBoxNewB:
Thanks for your feedback, guys.
I actually indeed used the description posted on head-fi. The thing is: I'm having trouble to UNDERSTAND what I have to do there. I used the RKbatch method because it says there "this one MUST work". The step-by-step guide (with all of its alternative methods and stuff) is pretty confusing for a noob like me. I mean I have been using RB before, and I have installed it on a "problematic" device (iPod Classic), but when it says "only if you have CWM" or "only if you have original recovery"...I simply don't KNOW. Which case applies for me now? Instead of RKbatch, shall I use 4b. or 4c.? I was afraid that if I use the wrong method, I might end up bricking the DX50, so I picked RKbatch.
Thanks in advance,
RBNB

ArgelErx did a complete code cleanup of the port. If someone wants to test it, see the head-fi forum for details:
