5. In the unlikely event that the programming or verify steps should give you any

error,

do not switch off the box!

Otherwise you’ll have seen it working for the last

time. While Rockbox is still in RAM and operational, we could upgrade the plugin
via USB and try again. If you switch it off, it’s gone.

Note:

After successful flashing you may delete the

.bin

files from the root of your

b

player.

Note:

There are no separate flash packages for players modified to have 8MB of RAM.

b

You need to use the corresponding package for non-modified Recorder. You should then
install a Rockbox image that makes use of all available RAM as described in the following
section.

12.5.4 Updating the Rockbox Image in Flash

When Rockbox is booted from flash, it does not check for an updated firmware on disk.
This is one of the reasons why it boots faster than the Archos firmware. It means that
whenever you update Rockbox, you also need to update the image in the flash. This is
a simple and safe procedure:

1. Download (or build) the Rockbox build you want to use, and unzip it to the root

of your player. Safely disconnect USB.

2. ROLO into the new Rockbox version.

3. Go to the file browser, and enter the

.rockbox

directory (you might need to set

the

File View

option to

All

.)

4. Play the file

rockbox.ucl

, and follow the instructions. The plugin handling this

is

rockbox flash

, a viewer plugin.

12.5.5 Restoring the Original Flash ROM Contents

In case you ever want to restore the original flash contents, you will need the backup
file. The procedure is very similar to initial flashing, with the following differences:

1. Check that you do not have any

firmware *.bin

files in your player’s root.

2. Select

Plugins

→

Applications

, and run the

firmware flash

plugin. Write

down the filename it displays in the first screen, then exit the plugin.

3. Connect USB, and copy the flash ROM backup file to the root of your player.

Only use the backup file from that very box, otherwise you’re asking for trouble!

Rename the file so that it matches the name requested by the

firmware flash

plugin. Safely disconnect USB.

Now follow the instructions given for initial flashing, starting with step 3.
