I Rockboxed my X3 about 6 months ago. It has never crashed once. I've never even seen a glitch that I recall!
Well, I tried to install Rockbox on the player, but every time I boot it up it boots up with it's original firmware. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
The most common error is renaming the update file to "update.zip.zip" instead of just "update.zip", because your OS isn't set to show file extensions, so either set your OS to show file extensions or just try deleting the ".zip" from the end of your update file.
Tried that but still no success.
I am not sure if I understand this part of the instruction: .rockbox must be placed at the root of this memory card.
There can be other files and/or folders in the root of the SD card too. i.e. In an update scenario there will be the update.zip file and the .rockbox folder.
What I have not figured out yet is if I need to leave the update file in the root of the device AFTER the update has applied.
Kind regards,
Ian
You can delete the update.zjp once it's done.
OK. So I am drawing a zero on getting a Windows 7 HyperV client to allow me to run the Flash_Rockbox.bat against my xDuoo X3 and am now wondering:
What will flashing the player give me that I do not already have with the device running the updated Rockbox version from the SD card?
Are there benefits that I am missing out on, or am I just getting OCD about following the standard process?
Regards,
Ian
