In order to install the bootloader, you will need to download the following
files:
\begin{itemize}
\item An original firmware (OF) from
\opt{e200v2}{
\url{http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=e200&thread.id=13548}}
\opt{fuze}{

\opt{clip}{
\url{http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&thread.id=15109}}
\item The bootloader:
\opt{e200v2}{\download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200v2/bootloader-e200v2.sansa}}
\opt{fuze}{\download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/fuze/bootloader-fuze.sansa}}
\opt{clip}{\download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/clip/bootloader-clip.sansa}}
\item The version of mkamsboot for your operating system from
\download{bootloader/sandisk-sansa/mkamsboot/}
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
\item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
\item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
\begin{code}
\opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
\opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
\opt{clip}{mkamsboot.exe m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
\end{code}
If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
\item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
\opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
\opt{clip}{(``m300a.bin''} above).
\item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X and Linux}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' in your home directory, and then
extract the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
\item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
\item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
\begin{code}
\opt{fuze}{./mkamsboot fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
\opt{e200v2}{./mkamsboot e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
\opt{clip}{./mkamsboot m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
\end{code}
If mkamsboot does not report success, then retry or abort.
\item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
\opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
\opt{clip}{(``m300a.bin''} above).
\item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
\end{enumerate}
