  25
  26 \begin{enumerate}
  27
  28 \item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
  29   the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
  30
  31 \item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  32
  33 \item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  34   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  35
  36   \begin{code}
  37     \opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  38     \opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  39     \opt{clip}{mkamsboot.exe m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  40   \end{code}
  41
  42   If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
  43
  44 \item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
  45   root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
  46   \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''}
  47   \opt{clip}{(``m300a.bin''} above).
  48
  49 \item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.

  59 \item Open a new terminal, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
  60
  61 \item Run mkamsboot, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
  62   you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
  63
  64   \begin{code}
  65     \opt{fuze}{./mkamsboot fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin}
  66     \opt{e200v2}{./mkamsboot e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.sansa patched.bin}
  67     \opt{clip}{./mkamsboot m300a.bin bootloader-clip.sansa patched.bin}
  68   \end{code}
