Failing to install on Rockbox on Sansa Clip+, after choosing 'clippa.bin'

[tom.tom]

After choosing 'clippa.bin' on my desktop, downloaded from the link provided in the manual as the original firmware, Rockbox Utility says, "Failed to write"

The mount was chosen correctly through auto-detect. I am in MSC mode.

Any suggestions?

I haven't figured why this happens but (at least) can see what's going wrong. In the meantime you can use the older 1.4.1 to install the bootloader. That's the only functionality that's affected by this issue.

Great, thank you for the swift reply. I'll try this afternoon.
