How to reverse Sansa E200R to E200

[Rcholla32]

I used the e200 to e200R conversion from anythingbutipod.com  and i want the E200 back can some one help me because i want to use rockbox and someone said badger know how to reverse it back so please thank you

First: what the heck is the "conversion from anythingbutipod.com" ?

Second: I am Bagder

Third: We're a bunch of people around here who know about these things.

To convert a e200R to a plain e200, just boot into manufacturer mode, recover a plain bootloader and then put a plain BL + mi4 on the recovery disk. Done.

can u tell me the steps because im a beginner with this and the thing i use was the E200 to the E200R topic on anythingbutipod.com and a friend of badger said u know how to do it so im asking you

First, if you aren't familiar with e200tool and manufacturing mode, it's best not to try it, as it could mess up your player.
Second, since you turned it into an e200r, you now have to use Linux to convert it back, meaning if you use Windows, e200tool won't work.

[Rcholla32]

Please don't double post - use the modify button instead.

Grab a copy of e200tool - http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200tool/e200tool and save it to, say, your home directory.

Download a copy of the original bootloader, such as from http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom or any other site.

Put your Sansa in manufacturing mode, and connect it to your computer.

Assuming e200tool and the bootloader are in the same directory, do "chmod +x e200tool; sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom" while holding REC.  Once the "Welcome to recovery mode" screen appears, release REC.  Once in Recovery Mode, place the same BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom file and the firmware mi4 file (http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/PP5022.mi4) onto the Recovery mode drive.  Unmount, disconnect your Sansa, let it restart, and it should work.

ok i be doing the manufacturing mode but when you do it when do i press the record button and when i put the command in it _______________chmod: cannot access `e200tool': No such file or directory_____and with the sudo it says____________________- sudo ./e200tool BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
sudo: ./e200tool: command not found like the computer is not recognizing the player does it suppose to i was thinking i want to crash the player brick and use the e200 mi4 and bootloader and see if it would work

It's not recognizing e200tool...

Do this:
cd /tmp
mkdir e200tool
cd e200tool
wget http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200tool/e200tool
wget http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
wget http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200/PP5022.mi4
chmod +x e200tool
sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom (while holding REC)

That should get you to Recovery Mode, which should be easier.  The reason "recover" is in italics is because in my previous post I had accidentally left it out, when it should be in there.

And for the last time, use proper English.  "u" and "thanx" are not acceptable.
