Sandisk Sansa View
Bagder:
When they changed the mi4 format slightly from e200 vanilla to e200R they also changed some other magic values in the (decrypted) mi4 image, it should be worth investigating those to see if they've changed again. It's great to read that the dummy-signing still works!
Since the bootloader is stored in the hidden partition, most answers is possible to extract by disassembly - that's pretty much how MrH did it in the past.

I have my view and linux based system setting here. What's needed as the next step for this?

Bagder:
For starters, owners of Sansa Views need to start thinking by themselves. What do you think need to be done?
You could for example get the mi4code source code, decrypt the view firmware and check the magic numbers in that firmware and compare them to a e200 (and/or e200R) image and its magic numbers etc.
The bootloader is there and ready to be read. Get it, disassemble it, see if you learn something new about the start/boot process and what else around running the firmware and figuring out the hardware.

unfortunately i'm not a coder at all... the only way i'm able to contribute at the moment is by providing several high-res scans of the player's main pcb and its other inwards. feel free to include them into the wiki page. (each ~ 980kb+-)
front of main pcb
back of pcb & memory board
back of display, battery pack, wheel/button part
date of production for this unit is 2007/10/29
if you need anything else scanned please let me know.
best regards,
