Trying to downgrade my firmware...

After following the instructions to downgrade my firmware…it doesn’t seem to complete the process. I have followed the instructions to a “T”, but no go. I am still stuck w/ vers. 2.

 

After I drag the extracted file to the root directory, it doesn’t complete this step;

 

Once it finally finishes doing its update, it will turn itself off. Turn it back on and once its back to the main menu, head to “System Settings” > “System Info”, and verify the “Version” is now 01.01.15"x".

 

It never shuts off…If I disconnect, turn off manually, it will still retain the latest firmware. I want to downgrade so I can install & use Rockbox. Has anyone done this successfully?

 

Thanks for your help! 

You can’t use Rockbox on a Rev. 2 Fuze. The Rev. 1 port is just recently completed, and it’s not even official or supported yet.

And no (if this is what you’re thinking), you cannot ‘downgrade’ from a Rev. 2 to a Rev. 1. Different hardware.
