Rockbox on YOUR sansa fuze :o

[dragos240]

A few days ago I posted about my sansa fuze finally getting rockbox on it, and I noticed a few people wanting to install it. I have just zipped all of the things you need in an archive, but I am going to give you a warning.

DOING THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND HAS A POSSIBILITY TO PERMANENTLY BRICKING YOUR SANSA FUZE.

Just to let you know, if you don't care, then be my guest and follow these instructions:

1. Download the archive to a folder.

2. Plug in your sansa fuze and make sure the usb mode is MSC.

3. Extract the contents of the archive to the root directory of your fuze.

4. Unplug your fuze, and shut it off.

5. Boot it back up and rockbox should be there.

EDIT: New link from coldbird, (Link removed, it is broken at the current time)
This is updated to the latest build of rockbox, the other link is outdated. Thank you!

EDIT2: Coldbird has removed the index.php because it was building up on their server, this link is just a list of the latest versions that coldbird has compiled. It's manual now. Here is the link.
Also the newest archives from this site are in rar format, you will need to install this manually as well:
Arch pacman -S rar unrar
Ubuntu/Debian apt-get install rar unrar
Fedora yum install rar unrar

EDIT3: Rockbox is now officially supporting the fuze! No need for this topic anymore!

No it has not. Rockbox has not been officially released yet. I compiled the source.

Has anyone ELSE sucessfully tried this yet? I don't wanna brick my fuze. It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see that other people have done it, too. I've been waiting fot this for ages!

----edit:
What firmware version are you using?

Did you extract ALL the contents to your fuze, and did you make sure the usb mode was MSC? Try it again, and also I would like a screenshot of your sansa fuze root directory with hidden items enabled before you plug it in. Oh and by the way. I GOT PICTURES! Excuse the quality of them though.
