After upgrading my Clip+ from 01.02.16A to 01.02.18A through the SansaUpdaterInstall.exe installer, I followed the instructions to upgrade manually to 01.01.35, but it didn’t work: After copying m300a.bin to the root of the device and disconnecting it from the XP host, the device didn’t reboot. Hard-rebooting made not difference: It doesn’t upgrade, and it’s still running 01.02.18A.
Does someone know how to upgrade to 01.01.35? Should I try RockBox instead?

That’s because you’re trying to install firmware for the original Clip (01.01.35) on a Clip +. They are 2 different players and the firmware is not interchangeable.
01.02.18 is the latest for your model, so you’re good to go.
I followed the instructions for manual uploading (using a Mac and am computer savvy).
Move hold button until hold is showing is not clear - I assume you meant make sure the device is not on hold/locked (although i tried both without success).
Press and hold centre button doesnt seem to actually do anything (i tried holding and not holding in combination with on hold and not on hold.
Happily downloaded, unzipped and copied m300a.bin to root of Clip+. Disconnected and Clip+ only refreshes media. There is no indication of a reset and firmware revision listed in Info, does not change.
Environment: Asus laptop running Windows 7. Existing Clip+ FW is V01.02.18A. Verified that the Clip+ was unlocked, DLed the zip file, extracted the m300a.bin file, dragged it to the Clip+ root directory, it was copied to the root, waited 30 seconds, disconnected the clip+, it reverted back to the “SETTINGS” menu area, I waited 60 seconds, nothing happened, powered it off, waited 60 seconds, nothing happened, I manually powered it back on, it refreshed the media and the SETTINGS menu appeared. I looked at the system info and the original V01.02.18A file was still in place. Nothing had changed. I repeated the entire process three times. No results. FW was not updated.

What would you suggest next?
Downloading and installing the correct firmware for the player. If you’re looking for the latest firmware version for the Clip+, it can be found here:
You are trying to install the firmwware for the ‘original’ Clip, not the Plus model, so naturally it will not work. But having said that, the latest Clip+ firmware is 01.02.18 which you already have on your player, so there is nothing to update to.
TYVM for your reply. My bad. I decided to flash it because while i was on an elliptical Cybex machine the volume spontaneously went to zero for no apparent reason. Plug was firmly in the jack. The Cybex is non-impact and the Clip was in my front shirt pocket so there was no external contact. I forwarded to another file and the no-sound continued. Kept forwarding a few more times - also no sound. Battery was 90+%. Removed the headphones and put the whole thing on the exerciser tray. Continued with the Cybex, finished, listened for sound again and the sound was back. I examined the several files that produced no volume and they were fine. If I hadn’t experienced it I probably wouldn’t believe my own narrative. I figured the “bios” had become corrupted somehow. If it happens again I’ll find the correct file, thanks to you, and reinstall the FW.
I just bought an SDMX24 Clip Sport. I’ve loaded it up, both the internal and a SanDisk micro SD card. Everytime I turn it on, it says there is a disk error after it tries to refresh the media (everytime I turn it on it refreshes).
I tried to download this firmware fixer…and when I run it. nothing happens.

Good point…I’d bet most people had given up on any more updates. I’ll admit, I was skeptical too…I always hoped they wouldn’t “View” the Clip, but it’s nice to see they haven’t.
