<firmware file> is an original Sansa firmware file obtained from the Sansa

<boot file> is the code you want to execute (a rockbox bootloader), previously
|
|
|
|
|
scrambled with tools/scramble utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<output file> is the resulting firmware file which you'll have to copy on your
|
|
|
|
|
Sansa player. See "Firmware filenames".

Dual-Boot
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this program is to provide dual-boot between the original
|
|
|
|
|
firmware and the new (rockbox) firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default the player will boot into the new firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To boot into the Original Firmware, you need to press the Left key.
|
|
|
|
|
***Note : on the c200v2 you need to press the Right key.
|
2010-03-16 15:24:56 +00:00
|
|
|
***Note : on the Clip+ you can alternatively press the Home key.
|
2009-05-28 18:27:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The player will boot into the Original Firmware as well if it is powered up by
|
|
|
|
|
inserting an usb cable.
|
2010-03-16 15:24:56 +00:00
|
|
|
***Note : on the m200v4 and Clip+, powering up by usb will cause booting into
|
|
|
|
|
the new firmware.
