Sansa Fuze V2 Startup Issues

[Tchno]

After buying my Sansa Fuze a little less than a year ago, I came across the Rockbox community, and thought it would be interesting to see how it worked. 

However, to my dismay, when I tried to install it onto my device, the logo showed on the screen upon startup, but that is all I got out of it. 

I have spent many hours on the IRC chat, trying to obtain troubleshooting for this, and after many hours of redoing and even having builds hand-crafted for me, I never got past that logo page. 

If anybody who is Sansa savvy is willing to provide insight onto this, please let me know.

No one named Tchno has been on #rockbox, so you're going to have to provide a link to the chat logs if you want anyone to know what happened.

Ah its todays logs, which I guess have been indexed by search yet. 

Edit:  I see in the logs that you originally tried to install rockbox for a different player on your device.  What happens if you format the player in the OF, then do a full reinstall in rockbox utility?

[Tchno]

I did a full reformat, and installed the correct version.
It still, however, did not load, just stuck on the logo screen.

Those were the days I was on.

Anybody have any suggestions? Still not sure what's wrong exactly.

Bootloader works, as the title screen comes up, but all the versions of rockbox I have tried have not worked thus far.

Do you have a microSD card in the slot? 

If yes, try removing it to see if you can then boot properly.

[Tchno]

I don't have a microSD card, anything else you can think of that could be wrong?

exactely the same problem here. (Fuze V2 8GB)
i have installed with and without SD card in the sansa
i have removed all music files before install
no success
after rockbox start, i see the yellow logo and the player freezes, cant turn off, i have to reset

Same here.

I've got a Sansa Fuze V2, and I just installed RB 3.7. Installation goes fine, but when I try to boot with RB, the splash screen appears but it stays there forever.

- I tried uninstalling everything (including the hiden .rockbox directory), installing the Sansa 2.03.033 firmare, then install automatically RB3.7, same result;

- I tried the same thing exept installing manually RB 3.7, same result;

- I tried installing fw 2.03.026, automatic installation of RB 3.7, same result.

Anyone has succeded?

Meanwhile, I'm going to revert to the previous version...

Stable port?  I seriously doubt it.

It's kinda difficult to fix bugs like this if the relevant devs aren't having the same issues.

Stable port?  I seriously doubt it.

Isn't helpful either.

Can you figure out which revision broke it?

Running 28424 on a couple V2 fuzes and not having any problems except no USB connectivity in rockbox.

Rockbox USB connectivity is not really a problem, it is disabled until it is considered to be stable.

[Matoridi]

It might not be helpful to say that 3.7 is not stable on Fuze V2, but it is still true, and you should not indicate that is stable.

I tried the official Release from Rockbox site, the same installed with the utility (in Windows and Linux);

I tried yesterday's daily build (is it really refreshed daily?);

I tried using the last fw from sansa 2.0.03.33 and an older one 2.02.26.

I tried starting from fresh, erasing everything, reinstalling the sansa fw, then the rockbox software and bootloader.

The result is always the same.  The player works well in its native Sansa system, and it hangs on startup in Rockbox.

Funny things, sometimes the player starts, but if I shut it down and power it up again, it goes back to hanging...

If you have constructive suggestions, I would happy to try them.
