FiiO M3K Install (Native port)

[amachronic]

You need to reconnect the M3K in USB boot mode -- turn off the player, and hold Volume Down button while plugging in the USB. Then run jztool again, in order to get to the recovery screen. All that jztool does is load the bootloader into the M3K's RAM temporarily, and since the permanent bootloader installation failed due to a missing file, nothing was modified on your player during your first attempt. So no surprise everything is working as it did before 

In short, just follow the instructions again, in full, from the beginning, and you should be fine.

I get to the part of installing the driver and zadig shows nothing in the drop down menu. is ths because it was already installed on my first try?

[Njones]

Do I drag the bootloader and jztool.exe to the sd card and then run the command prompt?

[amachronic]

There is no need to install the USB driver a second time. Sorry if this wasn't clear.

You should be doing this:

1. Move bootloader.m3k and jztool into a folder on your desktop, or anywhere else that's convenient for you.
2. Copy bootloader.m3k to your SD card.
3. Safely remove the SD card, and insert the SD card into your M3K.
4. Connect the M3K in USB boot mode (power it off, hold volume down button, insert the USB cable to M3K and computer, and then let go of volume down button)
5. Open a command prompt in the folder containing jztool, and run the command jztool.exe fiiom3k load bootloader.m3k
6. Choose "Install/update bootloader" in the recovery menu.

did all that still get failed error-1102

[Njones]

Did it again after redownloading the boot loader file it says sucess. Do I scroll up to "Start Rockbox or do I safely eject  first and then stat up?

[Njones]

Before doing anything, should I do a backup from the recovery menu ?

[Njones]

This is not my first experience with Rockbox. I have rockboxed A Fuze,Fuze v2, Fuse+, Clip+ and clip zip.

sounds like your download was corrupted, but I'm not sure how since that should've made jztool barf an error at you...

Anyway "success" means it all worked. Just reboot the player and enjoy.

[Njones]

"error loading Rockbox File not found" Now what

[amachronic]

did you unzip Rockbox to the SD card?

[Njones]

No What is the best way to unzip

[Njones]

Nevermind unzipped it Going to try again

[Njones]

in CMD got these errors
[error] cannot open file bootloader.m3k (tar error: -2)
[error] Boot failed: -2
The un zipped bootloader file I unzipped and transfered was named "bootloader]
Should it be renamed?

[Njones]

Inside the bootloader file are these 3 files
bootloader.ucl
bootloader-info.txt
spl.m3k
