How do I update the firmware on my Sansa View player?


The 01.03.02 firmware is the latest release as of June 30, 2008 for the Sansa View. Firmware and release notes are available below.


WARNING: If you have an "F" firmware version on your device, you won't be able to update to an "A". But an "A" to an "F" version will work.


For (A) AMERICAS - Download ZIP file

For (F) EUROPE w/ FM - Download ZIP file

  1. Extract the .zip file into a folder on your computer.
  2. Once extracted, drag all files to the root directory of your Sansa View.
  3. Disconnect the Sansa View and let it restart. (see notes below)
  4. The firmware update will now begin.
  5. Once it's finish with the update, it will boot back up. Go to the main menu, then select Settings / Options > System Settings, and verify the "Version" is now 01.03.02.
