Without someone skilled with 'unupgradable T6' at hand acting up we really don't know why it doesn't want to accept updates. I am even not sure it doesn't accept only Agptek updates or updates in general (Did Benjie ever published update image for T6?). Gaining access to serial console is pretty simple (soldering 3 wires to test points + 3.3V usb-to-serial converter) if they didn't removed support for this. From there it is pretty easy to extract recovery firmware. I can help if someone with 'faulty' T6 is willing to take the risk.

I just upgraded the firmware on two newer AGPTEK Rockers (silver, light) which came with firmware 1.2.
The first one simply worked. On the second one, with the same SD card, when choosing the upgrade firmware, the confirmation screen (with a cross on the left and a check on the right) came up, but pressing the center button did simply close it.
I retried about a dozen times, trying different key presses (like pressing right, then center), and eventually it also worked.
So, if you have an 'unupgradable' device, please describe what you're seeing and doing that doesn't work. It might just be a UI fluke or user error :)

Hello,
I just bought à Rocker and would like to experiment with Rockbox.
I managed to follow the instructions and used the Docker to generate the upt file and rockbox.zip.
However before I do the big jump, it is not quite clear how to revert to the old firmware in case something goes wrong ?
All relevant post I found are related to Sansa Clip.
Thanks

Hi,
I managed to mess up my agptek rocker where it would only display the loading screen when turned on and i could turn it off. This happened after I messed up the rockbox firmware upgrade. However, I was told by agptek to prepare a sd card and put the official agptek firmware update
https://www.agptek.com/blog/agptek-rocker-firmware-download-2/
in it and then insert sd card into player, then push the power button and the volume - button to initialize the firmware update from sd card. That restores the original agptek firmware i believe. Also to note that the rockbox firmware update is dual boot, meaning you have your choice of booting to rockbox or the original agptek firmware. Hope this helps
Experiment:
Thanks a lot.
Then I did the update and it updated without problem.
The 2 first time boot, I got a message that Rockbox cannot boot. And the third time it worked.
So far it seems to work, except that I cannot use the power button to switch if off. It seems that the power button is behaving like a "Go Back" button.
So I have to hold it down to force shutdown.
Perhaps it is the way Rockbox is behaving ? Anyway I will then go over another topic to ask about Rockbox behavior.
