Hi,

I'm assuming you want Rockbox on your player. After you copy the .bin
file, you need to additionally download the daily build for X5. If you
plug your unit in with just the bootloader installed, the problem you
stated will happen, but you will still be able to read and write to the
drive with the USB connection. Once the folder .rockbox and the file
rockbox.iaudio files are copied, the device should spin up properly.

Any further questions you can contact me offlist.
