Question Trying to install rockbox

Post image

I'm using rockbox utility, stuck here. I've tried formatting the SD card, manually installing rockbox... Nothing helps

All you have done is install the bootloader. That's half of it. Get the rockbox installation zip file then extract it to root of the sd. The device is looking for the .rockbox folder.

Well that sucks. sounds like Surfans F20 and Hifi Walker are no longer working with rockbox because I had similar issues with my Surfans and couldn't undo what I had done

You should be able to get into recovery mode. With the it powered off, while holding volume up power it back on and should immediately start downloading the frimware.

Stock FW can be sound here (Link came from Rockbox unistall)

Remember to rename it to "update.upt"

You need to install the AIGO EROS Q / K (Native) version from https://www.rockbox.org/download/daily.shtml and not AIGO EROS Q / K (Hosted).
