problem with sansa e280

[zajacattack]

Just do a Google search for Ubuntu or SLAX or another and download it off their site and burn it.

OK, for Linux, download e200tool from http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200tool.html and download a copy of the original Sansa bootloader and firmware (search for these on Google). Place these in the same folder as the e200tool executable.
Then, connect your Sansa to the computer. Launch the command line and navigate to the directory with e200tool. Now, execute "sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom" (without the quotes) while holding Rec on your player. DO NOT RELEASE REC UNTIL YOU ENTER RECOVERY MODE. Finally, copy the original bootloader and firmware (and an empty file named "sansa.fmt" if and only if you want to format the Sansa) to the recover disk and unmount. Problem solved.

For Windows, it's the same idea, except you have to mess around with many drivers for the Sansa in recovery mode, and I would much prefer you do this on Linux (it's SO MUCH EASIER).

when i type this"/home/ubuntu/Desktop//e200tool: Permission denied"
i get "permission denied" what should i do?

[zajacattack]

Type "sudo" and then your command and then hit enter.

sorry for being stupid but itws not working thats what i get
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop/sansa$ sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
sudo: ./e200tool: command not found

[zajacattack]

Make sure you have e200tool in the correct location and make sure you are in that folder before you execute that command.

[AnotherStranger]

how do i execute the command

[zajacattack]

OK, do "cd [whatever folder you placed e200tool in]" and THEN "sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom"

[AnotherStranger]

do i need to type any comman before i type: sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom

[zajacattack]

No, that command will do everything you need it to.

[AnotherStranger]

thats what i did but it still "command not found"

[zajacattack]

I don't think you are putting e200tool in the right location OR you are not doing "cd" before you execute the command.

[AnotherStranger]

i did cd

[AnotherStranger]

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop/sansa$  sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
sudo: ./e200tool: command not found
 look

[zajacattack]

Did you do anything else with "sudo" before this command?
