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

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
