2runs as an application, replacing the stock \emph{Hibyplayer} application.

5original player firmware. This can be downloaded from the manufacturer's

14After downloading the firmware, you will need to download the corresponding
15binary patch file (\fname{.bsdiff}) for the firmware version in question, from
16the following location:
17
18\begin{itemize}
19 \opt{agptekrocker}{
20 \item \download{bootloader/agptek}
21 }
22\end{itemize}
23
24Using the \emph{bspatch} utility, apply the binary patch to the original bootloader, with an output file \fname{update.upt}. Place this file into the top-level directory of an SD card.

26Insert the SD card into the player, turn it on, and navigate the to the \emph{tools} menu, and select \emph{update firmware}. The device will restart to perform the update, then restart again, after which it will display the Rockbox bootloader menu.
