How do you manually install Rb manually since Rockbox utility doesn't recognize it.
-
The instructions are on the wiki: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK
-
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?
-
Yes
-
Ok thanks, and if I want to remove it, What do I have to do?
-
Flash an original firmware file. That will remove the Rockbox bootloader. Afterwards you can remove the .rockbox directory too.
-
Thanks for all your help
-
Installation complete. Works good except in vehicle mode. Are they're any fonts package available?
-
I think here you will find some: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/RockboxExtras

Thanks, Got them. Makes it a lot easier with some bigger fonts
-
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.
