Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
I did put an unmodified copy of the firmware on it, and then re booted it with the back button, while holding the power button....whatever sequence that is. You know what I'm talking about. It would reboot into the stock firmware, but if I turned it off, and back on, it would say Rockbox, and firmware not found....something like that. It was this never ending cycle.
Anyway, I'm getting a Clip+, and I wouldn't mind using Rockbox, but I'm a little older, and need reading glasses, and my one huge gripe is how small the font is. Other than that, I like it. The Clip does have a smaller screen, that's part of it. I'm considering getting the Clip Zip too, as it has a bigger screen, so maybe that would make the Rockbox font more doable.

It was this never ending cycle. If you could even boot into the Sandisk firmware without it flashing, you probably didn't actually copy a valid firmware file to the player.Quote from: soulweeper on March 15, 2015, 12:17:05 AMAnyway, I'm getting a Clip+, and I wouldn't mind using Rockbox, but I'm a little older, and need reading glasses, and my one huge gripe is how small the font is.

You don't need the utility. See the first reply to the thread.
I got a copy of the new firmware, put it in the root directory, turned the player off, and back on, that's it. So it's no different if you have Rockbox, and go back to stock??

So it's no different if you have Rockbox, and go back to stock??That's correct.There have been some reports that you have to boot into the original firmware when you copy the firmware (i.e. not in rockbox' USB mode), but I don't know if that's actually true. You do have to hold "left" to boot into the original firmware when rebooting after copying though, it's the original firmware that does the flashing.

You do have to hold "left" to boot into the original firmware when rebooting after copying though, it's the original firmware that does the flashing.To make absolutely sure I'm following you correctly, the way to do it is add the unmodified copy of the firmware while using it with Rockbox, then shut it off, and hold "left" to boot it into the original firmware, which at that point it would update with the unmodified copy....correct?So you're saying that there are reports that you sometimes have to boot into the original firmware before you do the copying??
I don't know if it's different on the Fuse v2 but I was able to recover the original Sandisk Firmware and remove the piece of Crap Rockbox by simply copying the bin file for the Fuse to the root directory of the player I removed the Memory card to eliminate any confusion of which drive and directory was the players internal storage.
