Default How to restore Sansa Clip to default? (kinda helpless)
Well this is akward.
I've installed Rockbox on my device and everything went good, but now I want the Sansa Clip to return to the original Sansa Firmware, without any Rockbox or Bootloaders.
How can I do it?

So you want the Rockbox components gone for good, or you just want to use the original firmware sometimes? It is a dual-boot system.

Nooooo....! You didn't just love Rockbox and everything about it? Tough, it's on there forever.

Just kidding, actually it's really simple. Drop in a copy of the original firmware. Delete the .rockbox folder. Reboot. You're done.

You can find links to the OF in the start of this subforum. Be sure to use the one that matches your player and that you have at least 50% battery charge on it.

In that case, skip252's post above explains how to do that.

Well I've tried to do as skip told but the result after the reboot was: "Loading Firmware
File Not Found."
And the Rockbox logo appears.
Any solution?

Have you done a manual firmware update before? It should be as simple as that.http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...70&postcount=1

You need to boot to the OF. Depending on model that's Power and hold the Home button or Power and hold <<-. When it boots you should see the the flower then the Updating Firmware message. After it shuts down and you reboot you shouldn't see anything else concerning Rockbox.
