The main thing you have to do is to install the official firmware. Download it from the official iBasso page.
Only if you have a pre march 2015 installation of rockbox you need to do the violet recovery upgrade first, otherwise the firmware upgrade to "original" would not work.
At the end, if you want to clean all footprints, you can also delete the ".rockbox" folder from the internal storage.

Thanks, I've just done it and it worked out!
Do I need to delete the "clockworkmod" folder too?

 

[cholero]

If you have one, yes. Clockeorkmod is not iBasso stuff

well if you use old rockbox you need to do that but when use new one you dont need to do that

Who wants to test a new custom build? @groovyd has made a modification for DX50/DX90 rockbox that makes the touchscreen less nervous/oversensitive
Please try and report back:
 
from Zippyshare
 
unfortunately I don't have the changes documented at the moment
 
As always it contains also: "Modern User Interface" ps10, User selectable hold switch mode ps13

Guys I did something in the past (don't know what) and my dx 50 seems to have only rockbox and no stock firmware. I'm trying to flash the original firmware from the stock recovery but it can't find anything. Do you know how I can flash the cmw and use it to restore the original firmware?

 

[cholero]

Are you sure that you don't have cwm recovery?

CWM	Stock

Your uSD needs to be formatted to fat32 (not exFAT or NTFS) and the update.img in the root of it. (just as hint: you can take a different uSD card, like an old 2GB that is lying around in your sisters old mobile phone or so and do the update with it, so you don't have to reformat your card)

Hi there,
 
I'm testing Rockbox on my DX50 for the first time tonight. I'm very impressed so far with all the available settings but find it hard to navigate through the menus because the overly sensitive touchscreen acts almost neurotic with my big paws.
 
I would like to know what's the proper way to try a custom built on an already rockboxed device (the one posted a week ago by @cholero) ? Should I just overwrite the .rockbox folder, or should I redo the whole install process from scratch ?
 
Thanks.

Just replace the Rockbox folder and you should be fine. Remember to do it in Mango just in case.

 

[cholero]

I would recommend overwriting. If you delete the .rockbox folder, all settings, themes and the database are lost.
It can be done from rockbox too, no need to boot Mango. Rockbox is just an App here that is beeing closed when you connect USB for mass_storage.

Thanks for the good information. I understand a bit more how it all comes together now.
 
This RockBox thing is a killer... man, ReplayGain, proper playlist management, parametric equalizer, heck even a good sounding compressor for late night listening on the stereo or for using in the car

 
SQ wise, it is very good too.
 
Other than that, the screen is still way too sensitive in my opinion even with the aforementioned custom build. Probably not much that can be done as it's mostly a hardware issue I'm guessing? For now I just can't use the screen at all and do everything with the buttons, it works just as well actually...
