  29
  30 \begin{enumerate}
  31
  32 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  33   the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  34
  35 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  36
  37 \item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  38   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  39
  40   \begin{code}
  41     \opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  42     \opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  43     \opt{clipv1}{mkamsboot.exe m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  44     \opt{clipv2}{mkamsboot.exe m30pa.bin bootloader-clipv2.sansa patched.bin}
  45     \opt{clipplus}{mkamsboot.exe clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  46   \end{code}
  47
  48   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  49
  50 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  51   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  52   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  53   \opt{clipv1}{(``m300a.bin''} \opt{clipv2}{(``m30pa.bin''}
  54   \opt{clipplus}{(``clppa.bin''} above).
  55
  56 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.

  76     \opt{clipplus}{./mkamsboot clppa.bin bootloader-clipplus.sansa patched.bin}
  77   \end{code}
  78
  79   If mkamsboot does not report success, then retry or abort.
