Boot up your e200r into the OF by holding the left button while powering up. 2. Copy pp5022.mi4 from the extracted e200r directory to the root of your device. 3. Safely remove your device and press and continue holding the left button while you disconnect the USB cable so that the device reboots into the OF. 4. Once the device reboots into the OF, you can release the left button. The OF will refresh the database, display "Firmware upgrade in progress" and reboot your device. ==================================================== Notes: ==================================================== * The LEFT button is reserved for booting into the Original Sansa firmware, same as always. * rockbox.mi4 (used as the default firmware) — If you are already running a custom FW, I'd suggest renaming the .mi4 file something else and recording it in your cbl.cfg file. Then reinstall RB so that rockbox.mi4 is the original RB firmware. * If you try to boot up a non-existent firmware image, the bootloader will let you know it was not loaded and proceed to load the default firmware. * If the config file (cbl.cfg) is not found it will use the default settings. Defaults are: UP.mi4, DOWN.mi4, RIGHT.mi4, SELECT.mi4 * Use "#" to comment out a line. If the variable isn't set, the default will be used for that button or firmware dir. * If the firmware is found and loaded correctly, you should see a confirmation “*** Firmware Loaded ***” message. ==================================================== SAMPLE cbl.cfg settings: ==================================================== cbl_fw_dir=/.rockbox/ btn_select=hermes4b.mi4 btn_up=PL3.mi4 btn_right=testFW.mi4 btn_down=hermesv3.mi4 ---------------------------------------------------- ==================================================== SAMPLE cbl.cfg with different FW dirs: ==================================================== cbl_fw_dir=/ btn_select=PS3/hermes4b.mi4 btn_up=PS3/PL3.mi4 btn_right=TEST/testFW.mi4 btn_down=.rockbox/hermesv3.mi4 ---------------------------------------------------- ==================================================== Change Log: ==================================================== v0.3 + Support for Sansa e200r + User-configurable settings via cbl.cfg file v0.2 + Support for Sansa c200v1 v0.1 + Support for Sansa e200v1
