9The installation of the bootloader is the most critical part of the

16\item Save a copy of your original firmware onto your computer's hard drive.
17 You can obtain a firmware file from \url{http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4.html},
18 another way to obtain the file is to intercept the file during the firmware
19 upgrade.
20\item Install a version of the mi4code program on your system.
21 You can get a windows binary from
22 \url{http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4code.html}.
23\item Decrypt the mi4 firmware file with the following command
24 \begin{code}
25 mi4code decrypt -s SKU_E-PP5022.mi4 OF.bin
26 \end{code}
27\item Copy the decrypted original firmware file \fname{OF.bin} to the
28 \fname{/SYSTEM} folder on your \dap{}. (This folder might be hidden).
29\item Download the Rockbox bootloader from
30 \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/}.
31\item Copy the bootloader you just downloaded to the root directory
32 of your \dap{}.
33\item Safely remove your \dap{} from the computer and then disconnect the
34 USB cable. This will reboot the \dap{}, then it will install the Rockbox
35 bootloader and reboot again into Rockbox.
