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