I had no trouble the other day, but just to see if there’s something wrong with it today I D/L it again.
No issues, 12.9MB zip file. Maybe your firewall or A/V is causiing problems?
Thanks for checking that, Tape. I’ll try to download it again later today.
Don’t you run Rockbox on your Clip+? I saw a post somewhere in the last few days, not sure which of the forums I saw it in, where someone said they couldn’t make RB work with the .16 firmware. The devs may or may not have patched it by now…saratoga would know.

I’ve seen that too. If you want to install Rockbox, you need to use the .15 firmware. There really isn’t that many improvements or changes to the .16 version. It wasn’t even given it’s own post when they released it. They simply inserted it into the ,15 post/thread.
Personally, I installed the latest just to see if I could replicate the backlight bug. When I was finished I put the .15 version back on.

The current official installer is too old to know how to patch the .16 firmware, so you either have to grab an unofficial build, or use an older firmware at least until someone gets around to a new release.

Thanks for the info and comments, guys.
I had RB on my clip+ until I lent it to a friend to take along on a trip. When I got it back, it didn’t work right. I had to go through the usual troubleshooting steps…formatting, error-checking, reinstalling firmware. Ugh.
Just thought I’d give 01.02.16 a try before reinstalling RB. I have a copy of the .15 firmware so I can always reinstall that .
just updated my sansa clip mp3 after the player has been having some major issues i had to run chkdsk,defrag,and format my entire mp3 player then i updated to 01.02.16 and it doesnt ever want to turn on, when i disconnect it from a computer it freezes it freezes on the loading screen, it doesnt refresh my memorycard without freezing and again it takes a long time to turn on like freakin 5minutes of me hold the button im working on the issue now but its freakin annoying can i downgrade back to 01.02.15 again so i can listen to my music on my micro SD card

Reading the sticky thread i see that there is a 01.02.16 version available.
So i downloaded the Manual Firmware using the provided link.
But when i unpack the zipped file, the only file that is in there is a clppa.bin file, nothing else.
In the instructions given there is mention of 2 files.
The clppa.bin file is all there is; go ahead with your manual update. Although there is very little difference between the 15 & 16 versions, so don’t expect any earth-shattering changes. In fact, you won’t see any difference at all; it’s a very minor update and has nothing to do with the user interface or the operation.
I agree with the expert above. I have just updated mine to the latest (2011) version and experienced no problems. My sansa clip model by the way is the 8GB one with radio. My OS is the Windows 7
If I were you (…) I would format it again and update it via the Sansa updater (download the updater from Sandisk website) then, once installed, ask it to look for updates.
This might take quite a while but don’t worry. The updater will look and find it AND will install it al by itself.
It will even ask you to disconnect the device from your system. Once you do, the Sansa will install the new firmware (2011 vs.) after which it will switch off. All done!
I would make sure your sansa clip batteries are well charged before doing this stunt.
Even faster and easier than using the Sansa Updater–which consumes computer system resources, with its “always-on” state–is to manually apply the latest firmware upgrade, provided, with instructions (simple) as to how to do this, in the firmware upgrade sticky thread at the top of the forum.
hi did you fix the volume thing as i cant seem to find how to do it/. I installed lates firmware and volume is gone and it’s too low now cant fix it. help!!!

Reset Factory Settings (in Settings > System Settings) and choose either North America or Rest of World as your ‘Region’ (after language option). If you select Europe your volume will be lower due to the EU restriction.
I don’t need the radio function, but i want my player to have volume high option (same as im having now).
what particular firmware could you suggest.
If i switched to .15E, volume will be low, .15A with radio,
Please help
Just ‘Reset Factory Settings’ option in System settings. Choose Rest of World (if you’re not in the US) or North America. Europe is the setting that has the volume restriction on it.
As best I know, what you can do is go to the SanDisk Clip forum at anythingbutipod.com and use the firmware guide there to manually change the letter in the firmware bin file name, which serves as a switch as to firmware options–radio, no radio, high volume, low volume, etc.
