Is there a way to keep the Sansa firmware from refreshing when trying to charge?

[cocopugg]

My Sansa 280e alternates between immediately starting to re-charge and a long 6 minute database refresh every other time I connect the unit to my USB port. Is there anyway to allow the Sansa to skip the database refresh process and simply start the recharge process immediately? I know this isn't really a Rockbox related question, but I'm not sure where to ask. I really wish Rockbox would could make it possible to recharge the Sansa through the Rockbox firmware, if it was possible, I'd like to do away with the Sansa's firmware altogether. I hate it that much!

Thanks Febs!

Also, the latest bootloader inhibits the database refresh if the USB is plugged in with the unit turned off.

i.e., it boots into the Sansa firmware, but with no refresh. Doesn't always work on my Sansa, though

I used the original Windows bootloader method for the Sansa e200R series (the very first method to use Windows only to boot Rockbox - before they made it easier).  Does this mean I must uninstall the bootloader and reinstall the bootloader to benefit fom the inhibited database upload?  If so, do I need to uninstall my daily build also?  Thanks in advance.

I'm not even sure that it works for the R, but either way all you need to do is re-run e200rpatcher.exe again as per http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation and you will get the latest bootloader.

There should be no need to uninstall the current build, but if it quite old it would be a very good idea to update to the very latest version.

I uninstalled the old bootloader, then installed the new.  Then I'll plug it into USB while turned off, it turns on, and then the bootloader says it's disabling database rebuild, then boots to OF which proceeds to rebuild the database...  

I checked http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rbutil/sansapatcher/sansapatcher.c?r1=15225&view=log
Which says to "update the OF (to any version they want) using sansapatcher" but I'll assume he meant with sansaupdater beacasue sansapatcher doesn't update OF, right?  Anyway, I have the most up to date OF already, so how can I reinstall it, as sansaupdater knows it's up to date and wont let me reinstall OF?  Or is there something else I'm missing here?
