@Saratoga, were you replying to me? Then I don't get your point ???
I have installed the bootloader that you and Mihail provided a while ago: This only boots from SD, if the internal memory cannot be mounted. But what if - like Mihail described it- internal is not longer writable, i.e. you cannot update RB anymore?
The SDonly I was referring to above, loads RB from internal, but the leaves only SD mounted, but requires the .rockbox directory to be on SD. Later on, all settings will be written to the directory on SD.

The mount_SDonly patch you gave me still loads the firmware from internal memory AFAIK.

You right, I add patches to bootloader topic.

OK, this seem possible as USB Input device is recognized that way.
My question is though, how can I load in the bootloader from Win7 if the internal flash is no longer recognized?

Sansa firmware is still present on the device. The vendor didn't specify warranty conditions, and in fact offered the player as "rockbox ready". I'd be surprised if he refused exchange.
The bootloader patch should be applied according to this guide? https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WorkingWithPatches#Applying_A_Patch
As for performance, v12 takes at least 15 seconds to load Opus files of any bitrate.

v12 on a fuze var1:
No re-inits @ 83, but already @ 84 the shade of the color screen changes sometimes (no flickering) and sometimes loading a song can take several seconds.
