---+!! Sansa e200R/Rhapsody Installation From Linux

%TOC%

---++ Pre-requisites

In order to install Rockbox you *MUST* have patched the Sandisk bootloader on your device as described in SansaE200RInstallation

---++ Rockbox Installation from Linux

   * Download the following file and place it inside the current {~/sansa} directory: [[http://download.rockbox.org/daily/sansae200/rockbox-sansae200.zip][rockbox.zip]] ( =wget= =http://download.rockbox.org/daily/sansae200/rockbox-sansae200.zip=)
   * Unzip this file. ( =unzip rockbox.zip=)
   * Download the following file and place it inside the current {~/sansa} directory: [[http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/rhapsody/rhapsody-1.0.2.31.zip][rhapsody-1.0.2.31.zip]] ( =wget= =http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/rhapsody/rhapsody-1.0.2.31.zip=)
   * Unzip this file to receive ==pp5022.mi4== ( =unzip rhapsody-1.0.2.31.zip=)
   * Rename the resulting file to ==OF.mi4== ( =mv pp5022.mi4 OF.mi4=) (Oh, not Zero - as in <strong>O</strong>riginal <strong>F</strong>irmware)
   * Download the following file and place it inside the current {~/sansa} directory: [[http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200R/pp5022.mi4][pp5022.mi4]] ( =wget= =http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200R/pp5022.mi4=)
   * Boot up your device, connect the USB cable and mount the device. ( =mount /dev/sda1 ~/sansa/mnt=) You can verify that the device was correctly mounted by going into the mnt directory and double-checking that there are multiple files and folders inside.
   * Copy ==pp5022.mi4== to the root of your device ( =cp pp5022.mi4 mnt/=)
   * Copy ==OF.mi4== to the system folder within your device ( =cp OF.mi4 mnt/SYSTEM/=)
   * Copy a recent e200 build of Rockbox onto the root of your device ( =cp .rockbox/ mnt/=)
   * Unmount your device. ( =umount ~/sansa/mnt=)
   * Disconnect the USB cable and wait for it to reboot. It should refresh the database, then upgrade the firmware. After another reboot, you should be in Rockbox!
   * Remove the sansa directory. ( =rm -rf ~/sansa/=)

---++ Upgrading Bootloader After Initial Rockbox Installation

   * Download the latest bootloader:  [[http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200R/pp5022.mi4][pp5022.mi4]]
   * Boot up your e200r into the OF by holding the left button while powering up.
   * Connect the USB cable and mount the device.
   * Copy ==pp5022.mi4== to the [[http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ProjectGlossary#Root][root]] of your device.
   * Unmount your device, press and continue holding the left button while you disconnect the USB cable so that the device reboots into the OF.
   * Once the device reboots into the OF, you can release the left button.  The OF will refresh the database, display "Firmware upgrade in progress" and reboot your device.
