Y1 Rockbox and Firmware Updates

Good to know:

This is where you'll find all the firmware updates for your Y1 music player — whether you want the original manufacturer software or custom Rockbox builds. Everything's free to download and comes straight from GitHub.

New to this? If you're using Windows or Mac, just grab Updater and you're good to go. It's a simple app that walks you through everything, and it comes with all the tools you need already built in — no hunting around for extra downloads.

Methods and troubleshooting:

Updater automatically lists the latest updates to the Y1 and Rockbox and guides you through its installation, but alternatively you can use SP Flash Tool or MTKClient (both are installed automatically by Updater in ToolkitAccess SP Flash Tool and MTKClient by clicking Toolkit in the Updater app (Windows/Mac) or from the Windows Start Menu. There's also a Troubleshooting folder which provides a helpful folder to place the contents of a rom.zip in and click a shortcut to run SP Flash Tool or MTKClient to install or troubleshoot automatically.).

What you'll download:

• rom.zip — The full package for fresh installs or if you need to start over
• update.zip — Quick updates if you're already running Rockbox (just copy it to your .rockbox folder)

Whether you're fixing something, trying new features, or just keeping your Y1 up to date — we've got you covered.

Customise your Player:

Make your Y1 truly yours with custom themes! Choose from a variety of options depending on your firmware and resolution.

💡 Tip: All these theme directories can also be found in the Toolkit included with Updater.
