SanDisk Sansa c200 Series

Could we possibly create a checklist of things to be done?

Allow me to also point out that mi4code 1.0.1 is now hosted on my site (http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4code.html) and it contains the keys built-in for the most recent c200 firmwares.

I'm a proud owner of a rockboxed iriver h140 (well h180 now   ) for years and I loathe the idea of touching any dap that isn't running rockbox.
  Anyway I'm a few days away of being a c250 owner which I bought specifically for the possibility of rockbox goodness (and modest size as well) , but since I'm a lowly user and not a programmer (ok I can compile some things and edit my own X.org and assorted linux config files by hand and such, but thats as far as my kung fu goes) I would like to offer my services as a guinea pig for all tests that need to be done on this player, would any of the devs please be so kind as to point me to some installation and unbricking instructions, and a fresh supply of builds to play around with and try to provide as much usefull information as possible?

 thanks for all the good work you've been doing, I hope I can help out and do my share too.

It seems we're just inches away of having a sansapatcher for the c200 series (see IRC logs for exactly today). You'll soon be able to try it out...

You can download the "pre-release" version here - it's been quite well tested (successfully) so far, but more testing won't hurt.

To install Rockbox on the c200, basically follow the instructions in the e200 manual, but download this version of sansapatcher instead of the link in the manual, and download the c200 build instead of the e200.

(both a Windows and Linux binary are included).


Please report back with success or failure...

Thanx a lot! New rockbox c250 firmware already in my Sansa C250! It's change everything there!
But I find some bugs -
1)russian language is not correct, when i choose it i see some strange signs instead russian letters.
2) I can't set time and date - marker doesn't sets on minutes, only on hours and seconds. The same goes with month. (sorry for my english, it's not my native language).

Remember: the port is not in any way complete and very very fresh, expect missing or non working features, there is no manual available and the installation procedure is not "official" yet.

About your two issues:
1) Install the fonts package, choose a font that includes cyrillic characters. Search a bit in the forums for more general information like this before.
2) Yes, it's known that there are still some quirks (I also knew about the set time screen), it's a new port...

3) Please, don't report every single thing here, do some searching before, be patient, wait for official support and the manual... give it some time especially for these small, not critical problems.

Greetings! I installed Rockbox on my Sansa c250 on Sep-22 and it is working great! Many thanks to the Rockbox developers for a wonderful alternative to the original firmware. My question concerns the player's control / "menu" led. Is there currently a way to allow this to time out or turn off? When running the OF, the led turns off when the lcd times out. I have found the setting for lcd timeout but it has no effect on the led. My concern is one of battery life, especially on long plane trips. Thank you very much for any advice and keep up the great work on this excellent product!
