Rockbox placed in the internal memory in /usr/rockbox folder.
To "uninstall" it just flash any stock firmware over.

I thought I would try to add an eqs folder on the sd card...

sd card is mounted to the /mnt folder. So if you want to save something to SD card, just save it to /mnt/xxxx...

I can't boot the original firmware, It gets stuck on the bootloader. Rockbox works. I've installed again the original firmware and rockbox but nothing. Any idea?

Rockbox version 5bbc553-190915

Try to flash the stock firmware, do a system reset then re-flash rockbox.

I've flashed the stock firmware but it gets stuck on the welcome logo.

Could someone please explain exactly what I must do to delete whole cd (album)from my M3K. Thanks

Dear friend,

You could delete the files in your computer first. Then update the media library in the M3K again?

Best regards

I've been looking at the M3K as a potential replacement for my rockboxed Sansa Clip Zip, is anyone able to comment on the relative sound quality of the two players?

Also, regarding RockBox on the M3K:
1) is there any chance that it will support USB DAC functionality in the future or will we always need to boot back to the original firmware for this?
2) is it possible to adjust the bootloader timeout to speed up booting?

Thanks,that would be quite a job to just delete a few cds Ive lost interest in. Anyone know how to put a card back into computer and delete from the card? Seems impossible to find anything on a full card when you see it represented in the computer after you put it back into the computer.

I don’t have a Sansa Clip Zip but I do have two Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ and a Sansa Sport. I have two Fiio M3K which is my favourite DAP.

The sound quality of the Fiio is much better than any of the Sansa players I have. I can hear detail, particularly in the bass, on the Fiio which I can’t hear at all on the Sansas.

The stereo image is also far better on the Fiio and I keep hearing orchestral detail because of the way that individual instruments stand out from each other. The music seems to be less “in my head” and more realistic.

Personally I’m not going to put Rockbox on either of my M3Ks as I just don’t feel the need for it.

Thanks for the info - I like having the option of Rockbox as I've used it for many years on a variety of players, that said, if the official firmware is nice enough I'll stick with it, especially if RockBox doesn't support that DAC functionality.

FiiO releases the new firmware FW1.4.3 for M3K: https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/321219.html

 

[AudioMan025]

Today I upgraded from M3K-FW1.3.0 to M3K-FW1.4.3. I'm interested in seeing if this fixes any of my problems.

As far as Rockbox goes, I'd be willing to try it if only it doesn't brick my player. Just by looking through the thread it appears to me that some people are having trouble with it. We need people to test it out and report bugs. But I just got this player, and I'm in no mood to brick it.

If you post a screen shot of what your computer is showing you, then we will be able to see what your talking about.... Because what your asking seems to be really simply. I just plug the player into my computer, select what I want to delete and then delete it. Unmount/Eject the player from the computer. Unplug it. Then I just go to "System Settings" and then "Update Media Lib"

Does the new stock firmware fix the issue with slowdown when EQ is applied and blocky display of album art?
I really like Rockbox tbh, some of the functionality means it's unlikely I'll return to stock.

There is any way to do a system reset without turn on the m3k?
Mine is stucked in the welcome logo.
