1We will install the bootloader with the original firmware's recovery
2mode. The process is summed up as the following:
3
4\begin{itemize}
5 \item Determine what hardware version your player is and download
6 the correct bootloader update file
7 \item Place the bootloader \fname{update.upt} file on the SD card
8 \item In the original firmware, run the Firmware Update
9 \code{System Settings --> Firmware Update}
10\end{itemize}
11
12\subsubsection{Determine hardware version}\label{ref:determine_hardware_version}
13Determine what hardware version your player is. Go to
14\code{System Settings --> About The Player --> Version} and reference
15the list below. hw1, hw1.5, and hw2 players all use the same update
16file (with one exception), while hw3 players use a different one.
17
18\note{Important: If your player's version is not contained in this list,
19for example if the firmware version is newer than what is listed here,
20we cannot be sure that the hardware is the same. The best thing to do is
21contact the manufacturer and ask them two things: (1) for an update file
22of your version, and (2) if a player with the most recent version listed
23here can be upgraded to the firmware version on your player. If they say
24yes, we can be more certain that the hardware has not changed. These lists
25may not be the most up to date, please see the wiki page at
26\url{https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK} for the most up-to-date list.}

28\begin{description}
29\item[hw1/hw1.5/hw2 players]
30 \begin{itemize}
31 \item Aigo Eros Q V1.8 - V2.0
32 \item Hifiwalker H2 V1.1 - V1.6
33 \item Surfans F20 V2.2 - V2.7
34 \end{itemize}
35
36 These players use \fname{erosqnative-hw1hw2-erosq.upt} as the update file.
37 The lone exception is the Hifiwalker H2 V1.3, which uses the update file
38 \fname{erosqnative-hw1hw2-eros_h2.upt}.
39\item[hw3 players]
40 \begin{itemize}
41 \item Aigo Eros Q V2.1
42 \item Hifiwalker H2 V1.7 - V1.8
43 \item Surfans F20 V3.0 - V3.3
44 \end{itemize}
45
46 These players use \fname{erosqnative-hw3-erosq.upt} as the update file.
47\end{description}
48
49Download the \fname{.upt} file for these players from \download{bootloader/aigo/native/}.
50
51\note{All players use the same Rockbox build, only the bootloader is different.}
52
53\subsubsection{Place update file on SD card}\label{ref:place_on_sd_card}
54Place the appropriate bootloader file on the root of the SD card and name it
55\emph{exactly} \fname{update.upt}.
56
57\note{This is a good time to ensure that your Rockbox installation \fname{.rockbox}
58is present on your SD card.}
59
60Don't forget to safely eject/unmount your player.
61
62\subsubsection{Run Firmware Update}\label{ref:run_firmware_update}
63In the original firmware, run the firmware updater by going to
64\code{System Settings --> Firmware Update}. At this point, you can delete
65\fname{update.upt} from the SD card if you wish. \emph{Do not delete .rockbox,
66this is your Rockbox installation and needs to stay there!} \ No newline at end of file
