Sansa e260: Player is Bricked

[zajacattack]

Yes, that means it's booting into recovery mode.

[yoursavior]

But I've been holding it since then and it hasn't displayed Recovery Mode. :/

[zajacattack]

What has happened? If nothing is happening, you should just disconnect and try again.

[yoursavior]

My computer said it's found a new USB device, but the LCD screen on my e260 has displayed nothing.

[zajacattack]

OK, try going to Device Manager, under libusb-win32 Devices, uninstall the one there, then go right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and select "Scan for hardware changes"

[yoursavior]

After uninstalling the USB device under Lsbusb and scanning USB controllers, it prompted me to instal a new USB device and placed a USB device with an explenation mark under Lsbusb.

[zajacattack]

OK, like I said, try disconnecting, reconnecting, and starting again (my gosh! It's much easier when you're actually with the person rather than trying to just talk online, wouldn't you say?)

[yoursavior]

Don't really know how to explain this, but when I put in the code to write the stuff to my e260, it copies the message tons of times, shows the instructions for how to use e260tool, and then opens 3 note pad documents saying ti couldn't find the word "done!".

[zajacattack]

Make sure you enter the command correctly, make sure you downloaded e200tool correctly (re-download if necessary), and make sure you only use one command prompt.

[yoursavior]

It still won't display Recover Mode. I've tried rebooting my computer, but it still ends on "Execution started!" without doing anything.

[zajacattack]

Try a different USB port.

[yoursavior]

The other USB port doesn't work. :/

[zajacattack]

Try redownloading a copy of the bootloader and correctly naming it.

[yoursavior]

Nope, that didn't do anything.

[yoursavior]

Ok, I finally got that to work, but the Sandisk loading screen was covered with blue dots and the Recovery Mode never showed up.
