« Last post by InvictusMB on Today at 12:50:16 PM »Hey folks, does anyone have a stock HiFi Walker H2 v1.5 bootloader dump?
Or otherwise is there an instruction on how to obtain a bootloader or anything flashable from the images provided by the manufacturer here?

Even on standard player usb-dac function was borged.

Got it working. I'd totally misunderstood the install instructions and thought that the update.upt file had to be run if rockbox was being changed for whatever reason (e.g. adding a theme).
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

We should get these moved over to download.rockbox.org if Sandisk is not going to provide them anymore.
Thanks for the quick reply; unfortunately I need the OF for Sansa Fuze+ and I'm not sure it's available.
These files (and the missing fuzeplus firmware) are now available on https://download.rockbox.org/sansa_fw/
EDIT: I've updated the wiki pages for the SansaAMS and FuzePlus to point at these new links. Additionally, for some time now we've hosted a mirror of the old haxx.se sansa pages: https://www.rockbox.org/sansa/amsfw.html

Updating Rockbox (which, again, is the .rockbox folder on your SD card) only requires that you restart the device.
In order to remove the Hosted menu, you need the correct STOCK update file for your device. Put this on the SD card as "update.upt". Then you will, with the device OFF, hold VolUp + Power. Then run the "Aigo Recovery" option.
From this point on, unless you wish to remove the rockbox bootloader entirely or there is some reason to update the bootloader (this is EXCEEDINGLY rare!), you never need to use the updater feature. Rockbox can be updated simply by overwriting the .rockbox folder on your SD card.

« Last post by rameses on March 24, 2025, 04:25:23 PM »Thanks for the advise. I think I've almost got there. I release I've made a mess of the bootloaders in my previous attempts.
I downloaded the native Rockbox linked to in the abovepost and have unzipped it and placed the .rockbox file on my SD card along with the patched upt file. I then update the firmware via the option in the HifiWalker's original player.
It quickly booted straight into Rockbox and if I turn the player off and back on again Rockbox loads almost instantly.
To get to the original player ( for bluetooth purposes) I hold play whilst pressing the power button. This takes me to the three option (Hosted?) menu. I can select Hiby Player and Tools but if I select Rockbox a message appears advising, "Cannot boot Rockbox". Is there a way to either remove the three option menu and go straight to the original player or be able to boot Rockbox from that menu option?
