Rhapsody Subscription tracks and Channels screwed up by Rockbox install
P.Opus:
When you say no channel support, do you mean the Rhapsody Channels portion does not show up on the Sansa, or that the Channel Tab does not appear in the Rhapsody client when the device is plugged in.
If you don't have a Rhapsody Channels selection on the Sansa itself, it means you put standard E200 Firmware on it which does not support channels, you'll need to put E200R series firmware on the device to get channel support back.
If you have a Rhapsody Channels selection on the Sansa, but no Channels tab on your client, it's possible that your Sansa is in Play For Sure mode, not Rhapsody Mode. Go to settings and then select mode, and change from Play For Sure back to Rhapsody.
BTW. I am updating channels as we speak on my Rockbox 280R, so I'm pretty sure Rockbox has nothing to do with your issues.

working fine here as well .. but opus are u sure the sandisk site has the latist firmware ??? i updated from there and still rhapsody wants to update .. ??
P.Opus:
The latest firmware I know of is 1.0.2.165 and it is available at sandisk.com.

Follow the manual installation link, and you'll download the .zip file that contains the firmware file.
I have never had "Rhapsody" try and upgrade my device. Oh it says updating device sometimes, but that is more related to the actual licenses and stuff.
I've never seen Rhapsody try and pop a firmware update on the device.
santod:
I have the latest firmware, I've reformatted, reauthorized, relicensed, numerous times, it's not that easy. Oh, and I know about Rhapsody mode/ Plays For Sure, after all I did install Rockbox successfully. I have a Rhapsody To Go subscription, therefor the device has to be synced with Rhapsody every so often, at least once a month, to keep licensed subscription tracks playable. Those tracks would be the ones that I transfer for free with my subscription to Rhapsody and the Rhapsody channels. Yes, I have Rhapsody channels on the player menu, they just won't play. I have a permanent red dot if I go into Sansa settings/account.                                                                                                                                                  Basically, I was thinking that I could do the reverse of the manual procedure that I went through to patch the bootloader, and replace the patched BL.......Support.Rom with the original and see if that corrects my problem. I was told by Sandisk that by reformatting and updating the firmware that it would also replace the bootloader, I'm not so sure of that. As the bootloader on the e200r series is hidden and partitioned from the firmware, as far as I understand                                                                                                                                                                                          " Description
The SanDisk Sansa e200 series has a 20MB hidden firmware partition. It holds both the bootloader and main firmware. This partition is hidden by e200r firmwares.
The partition is 20MB and is at the end of the disk. It doesn't have any partition table, but has files at specific address locations inside it. Each file has a 512B (1 sector) header which has a 4 character string describing its contents, followed by a 32-bit little endian number indicating the length of the file in bytes. There is then a 32 bit number with an unknown purpose.

The patched BL is just a few instructions poke on to remove the signature check that prevents the BL to load dummy-signed firmwares. That simply is not the reason for your problems. Of course you can still undo that and get back to the original one if you want to.

Reformatting the partition you can access over USB won't touch the firmware nor the bootloader.

You may be right in that the license key is damaged for some reason but the replaced BL simply is not to blame for that I'm quite sure .
