Post by: Njones on January 14, 2022, 04:01:37 PM
How do you manually install Rb manually since Rockbox utility doesn't recognize it.

So to clarify,  I put "https://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/hifiwalker/H2-v13-patched.upt" and the daily build on the Micro sd card  and then update the firmware on the player?

Flash an original firmware file. That will remove the Rockbox bootloader. Afterwards you can remove the .rockbox directory too.

If I want to update to a different daily build what do I do? do I simply drag and drop the new daily build to the sd card and then update the player?

Extract the zip to the root of your sd card, overwriting what is there.

I put the unzipped file in the .rockbox on the sd card. I then rebooted into the original player. went to update got message no update file found. rebooted into rockbox and found no change. How do I overwrite?

Also will the extra fonts and themes still be there?

You need to unzip the file into the root directory, not inside .rockbox.

You do not need to 'update' from the original firmware.

Just unzip the downloaded file to the sd card, overwriting the exisiting files.

Next time you start Rockbox it will used the updated files, no extra steps needed.
