+  Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation.
+  We cannot distribute the bootloader directly, and thus need to patch a compatible
+  version of the xDuoo firmware.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Download the Rockbox bootloader from
+  \url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/xduoo/X3-v11.bsdiff}
+
+\item Get a copy of the original \playertype{} v1.1 firmware from
+  \url{https://www.xduoo.net/firmware-download/} and extract the .rar file to obtain the
+  update image (called \fname{update.zip}).
+
+\item Compile bspatch in rbutil/bspatch/ (run make in the dir).
+
+\item Run
+\begin{code}
+    ../rbutil/bspatch/bspatch update.zip output.zip X3-v11.bsdiff
+\end{code}
+
+\item Put \fname{output.zip} in the root of the SD card and rename it to \fname{update.zip}.
+
+\item Disconnect the player from USB and let the original firmware boot.
+
+\item Go into the 'Setting' menu, and select 'Upgrade'. The player will reboot into Rockbox
+  upon completion.
+
+\end{enumerate}
