how to unbrick a sansa e200 bricked by the put of rhapsody image on it?
Bagder:
I very much doubt it, since the Rhapsody bootloader (which I didn't say he should use) he "upgraded" to does a proper digital signature check and therefore it will refuse to run Rockbox.
X86:
may you say why it is going to refuse?,I don't understand at all
Bagder:
Try restoring to the vanilla bootloader and you'll see what I mean.
Besides, if you had kept the vanilla bootloader you should still be able to dual-boot rockboox or rhapsody sansa. With the R bootloader, that won't be possible.
X86:
I still dont understand,what do you mean with vanilla bootloader?,may you explain somethings?
Vortex:
Your Sansa has a bootloader as well as a firmware installed to it. The bootloader is responsible for loading the firmware (either the stock firmware or rockbox).
The Sansa's bootloader does a signature-check on the firmware file before loading it. Only properly signed (i.e. "authentic") firmware images can be loaded.
However the bootloader of the "vanilla" (i.e. non-Rhapsody) version has a bug that allows the Rockbox developers to trick the bootloader into loading an unsigned firmware.
This bug was fixed in the Rhapsody version, therefore it's not possible to load Rockbox using the Rhapsody bootloader.
Since you put both, the Rhapsody firmware as well as the Rhapsody bootloader on your Sansa, you will most likely not be able to boot Rockbox anymore.
Note that I don't know anything about the technical stuff. I'm just repeating what is said in the wiki, and I think it wouldn't have been too hard for you to look there yourself...
