Sandisk Sansa e250R does not start anymore

(1/4) > >>

MasTaT:
Hey folks,

I bought a refurbished version of the e250R, it contains probably the newest firmware from Sandisk. I installed Rockbox due to the tutorial provided at http://www.rockbox.org/tw...in/SansaE200RInstallation on a WindowsXP system. The patcher said okay, I copied the firmware. The Sansa player rebooted, installed the firmware ("firmware upgrade"). Afterwards it rebooted. Since then, the only thing I see after switching the device on is the Sandisk animation and then it stops. After pushing a couple of buttons including switching on/off the hold button, it turns off. That is it  :( I can still access the device via the patcher (manufact. mode) but I do not see it as a mass storage device any more. Now I am kind of pissed off - was this the short life of my "new" Sansa? If you need further information, just let me know ;) Thx for your help.

Are you sure you installed the rockbox BL for R series? Try going into recovery mode and re-installing the rockbox bootloader from there.

MasTaT:
Thx for your answer. I used http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200RInstallation and downloaded all the files corresponding to this article. So I probably got the right files.

What do you mean with "Recovery Mode"? Please explain what I should do and I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks!

To get into recovery mode, you turn ON hold, hold Rec, power on the player, and KEEP REC HELD while plugging in the USB cable (keep holding it until the computer recognizes it).

Then, simply drag the rockbox bootloader (pp5022.mi4) to the 16MB recovery disk and safely disconnect the Sansa.

Hey zajacattack,

I followed your instructions, copied the boot loader from
http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/e200R/pp5022.mi4
to the drive (recovery mode). The device noticed the upgrade, installed it successfully and rebooted. Unfortunately, the result is still the same, it stops after displaying the Sandisk logo. What is next? Thank you!
