Installation


Windows

  • Extract the rockbox build (rockbox-hifietma9.zip) on sd card of your device.
  • Download and install PowerISO. Free unregistered version would be enough. Or you can use any analagous program, which could edit image files with FAT filesystem.
  • Open OF image file MA9*.img (file located in MA9_Upgrade.zip archive in Image folder) in PowerISO program.
  • Copy BASE.RKW file from SYSTEM folder in image to the .rockbox folder on sd card.
  • Replace BASE.RKW in OF image with bootloader.rkw (Rename booloader.rkw to BASE.RKW and replace original BASE.RKW in SYSTEM and SYSTEM00 folders).
  • Save changes and put derived IMG file into internal storage of your player via RK27Upgrade_Image.exe.

  • Connect the device through USB cable with PC, and enter to the “USB mass storage” mode.
  • “RK27 MSC Device” will be found, see area (5).
  • Press “Switch” button (button (2)) to switch to “RK27 Loader Device” mode, if this is the first time, you will need to install the driver for RK27Loader Device.
  • Select the new firmware by pressing the button (4).
  • Press “Upgrade” button(button (1)) to reflash the device, you can see following messages:

After succesfull reflashing the MA9 player will turn ON automatically (if you don’t unplug the USB cable from PC after reflsahing for the first time it loads the OF because of the automatic dual-boot function). To run the rockbox software just unplug MA9 from PC and reboot it (turn the OFF and ON correspondingly)

  • Safely eject your player.
