You don't need the previous versions. What you need is to download these files:

Note that these files are for HM-601.
 
The driver installation process depends on which firmware is installed. If the first Rockbox version, than you should manually uninstall the firmware by rebooting the samsung memory chip (it had been explayned in the thread), and then your OS will ask for drivers, you just need to show the path (they are in the tools_v2 archive). If you use the second or newer versions, just follow these instructions (they work for updating rockbox firmware too):
 
To return to the original firmware:
1) Open the archive tools_v2. Install the driver for your OS.
2) Run the flasher RK27_UpgradeImage with administrator's rights.
3) Turn on the player.
4) Connect the player via usb to the PC.
5) Go to System / System -> Debug (Don't touch!) / Debug (do not touch!) -> View HW info.
6) In the program RK27Upgrade_Image click on the button to the right from the "Image??" button, select the firmware image, then click the "?? (U)" button and wait.
 
 

I understand that it says this. But I am asking about step 1 "Install the driver for your OS." How do you run a non-executable file to install the driver? My PC never recognizes that it's plugged in, either, it just charges it. 
 
EDIT: Got it to recognize the device, Windows 7 tries to install the driver, and fails, go to my usb device manager, click the device, under driver details, it says that there aren't any. Click update driver, select the path, and it just says that Windows has determined that the drivers are up to date.
 
EDIT2: The problem is that the 64-bit drivers don't work with Intel's architecture, and x86 drivers don't install in Win7 64-bit. So I am at an impasse. I don't have a 32-bit machine, or an AMD based 64-bit guy. I might have to boot up XP in a virtual box, but that would be annoying to have to do just for this.

Well, I do have a 32-bit Win7 machine, but those drivers didn't work for me. I also have a 64-bit XP machine (my work computer) that didn't work either. Has anyone actually been able to get the drivers to install, and use the method that doesn't involve taking the device apart, to re-load stock firmware? I really want to roll it back because of some of the playback issues that I have having. It's sadly unusable when some of my songs skip ahead to the next one part way through playback. 
 
EDIT: Got it working

I got the drivers to install but not in the way I thought they would. Leave the device manager open when you are at step 5 and you should see the device recognized, but not as a usb controller, which windows is trying to see it as before step 5. Once this happens (even though the player hangs) you should be able to install the image. I found it much easier using the English installer mentioned a few posts back. Hope this works for you-it took me a while(win7 64bit intel).

UPDATE from 04.03.2012
- Dual bootloader included (finally!)
- Pressing Power button loads Rockbox
- Pressing "Power + any other button" loads official firmware.
- Connecting the player to the PC via USB loads the official firmware (turn the player off before connecting).
 
Installing method from the official firmware is same as before.
 
To update previous Rockbox versions you need to:
1. Put the new ".rockbox" folder to your SD card.
2. Open the archive tool_v2. Install the driver for your OS.
3. Run the installer RK27_UpgradeImage with administrator's rights.
4. Turn on the player.
5. Connect the player via usb to the PC.
6. Go to System --> Debug (Don't touch) --> View HW info.
7. In the program RK27Upgrade_Image click the button to the right from the "Image??" button, select the firmware image, then click the "?? (U)" button and wait.
 
As I understand after installing this update you won't need the installer and the drivers anymore.

All the work is done by Mortalis and Wodz.
 
Bootloaders include v0.21 firmware for HM-801 and v0.05 for HM-601. If you want to install other version you need to extract BASE.RKW file from the image file and put it to the ".rockbox" folder. BASE.RKW can be extracted via PowerISO, UltraISO and so on.
Also you can switch firmware by runnig RKW file from rockbox.

Thank you, I will install it now. So if I want to update my Hm-601 to 0.08 I have to follow"extract BASE.RKW file from the image file and put it to the ".rockbox" folder. BASE.RKW can be extracted via PowerISO, UltraISO and so on."? but keeping Rockbox.
 

 

[HungryDaze]

Yes, I think so.

My 601 firmware version is 0.08, but I can not find it in-case I needed to reinstall it! Do you have any idea where I can find it? appreciated

 

[HungryDaze]

Nope. And I should say that I consider v0.05 to be the best, most stable and wellsounding official firmware version for HM-601. Second after Rockbox.

OK, If Want to install both the boot-loader and Rockbox I should follow the above instructions , or there is something missing?

 

[HungryDaze]

If you have v0.08 installed just put the IMG file on the internal memory and the ".rockbox" folder on your SD card.

OK , all is working. Is there is a way to show the album covers?

 

[HungryDaze]

Yes. Download this theme http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1415&target=sansafuze (or which you like most for Fuze) and put a jpeg file named "Cover" in each folder.
