Unlocking BOP Sansa mp3 players and installing Rockbox in them
« on: August 31, 2017, 11:53:08 PM »
Anyone knows how to unlock BOP firmware on Sansa Clip+ and to install Rockbox on it? And can it be done with a smartphone (galaxy s5) ?
Please help    :)

It may be possible using the unbrick instructions:

This involves shorting out the flash memory to force the player into a recovery mode where the firmware can be overwritten. However, you'll need a linux PC to do this (or a Windows PC with suitable tools), and it is not clear to me how likely this is to actually work.
