FiiO M3K Install (Native port)

[demon_slayer]

You're probably forgetting to select Install or update bootloader. When you hit step 5 the bootloader is only temporarily in RAM, it isn't flashed to the device until you hit install. And remember to take a bootloader backup before the install as well.

Silly me, you were right! I've got it re-installed properly now, thanks!

Anyone else have the issue that the SD card seems to slowly get corrupted over time? I've had to format and re-copy all music and Rockbox to it twice now. After about, I don't know, 50-100 boots, I start getting errors on boot that the .rockbox directory isn't found. Checking the disk for errors with a partition manager and copying the latest Rockbox version to it fixes it for a while, but after some time that also doesn't work anymore.

Maybe it's that the SD card is slowly failing. I've had it in a Rockboxed iPod Photo before, with one of those SD card mods, which also didn't really work swimmingly.

I've got two M3Ks with Rockbox installed on both. I use one for Audio Books and the other for music. I've not had any problem with either and certainly nothing like you describe.

It might be too early to celebrate, but I just deleted the database files created by Rockbox (I decided to try out the database, silly me), and that seems to have solved my booting issues?

I have been having these issues too. I've started from scratch, removing the bootloader and installing fresh. I'll see how I go.
