Sansa Fuze Firmware Update 01.02.26 & 02.02.26

Version 1 and Version 2 of the Fuze use different software.

You can’t install 2.x versions in Version 1 Fuzes.

The updater always was a useless thing. Go to the first page of the thread below to download what I believe is the last Fuze firmware.

Get the All Region version. Unzip it and put it on the root directory–the driveletter–of the Fuze.

If you have the final update of Version 1–1.02.31–then that’s as far as it goes.

And if Windows 10–an evil piece of garbage bloatware–won’t do it, see if you can borrow a computer with Windows 7 or before. You don’t have to install the Updater on it–just unzip your downloaded 1.02.26 and send it over.
