e250 is bricked?

<< < (2/2)

baw:
ok. Does the windows e200tool work? I can't get it recognize my sansa!

I guess I can build a linux box :P

Let me know if you get a confirmation on Windows e200tool working!

or even better. where would I get a good e250 rom from?

Can I get it out of Manufacturing mode?

thanks again,

Yes, it works on Windows, but the drivers are such a pain, you are much better off using Linux. (I will provide instructions if you insist though.)
You can search on Google for an e250 bootloader and/or rom (the i2c rom is only necessary if it is in pre-boot mode).
Yes, you need to follow the directions in the wiki or on http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200tool.html

I got a linux box up and working.
My USB is working but I can't seem to see my sansa e250. If I plug the good one in it appears in the usb/devices file but the problem one does not.

When I execute the command I get this.

./e200tool recover BL_SD_BOARDSUPPORTSD.ROM
e200tool v0.2.3-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007
Searching for device 0781:0720 ... 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 not found!
Searching for device 0b70:0003 ... 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 not found!

I have looked at the directions on both sites and I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I can't get the system to recognize the Sansa. (My windows system has stopped recognizing it also)

I have tried starting it up with  the RECORD button held and the Key Lock on.

Am I missing something?

zajacattack:
Bring it to manufacturing mode. Turn hold ON, and hold select while you plug USB in, and keep holding select for about 10 seconds. Then, give it a try.

baw:
Tried that. No effect. Ring is blue. Screen is black and same results as before with e200tool.


I read somewhere else it said about taking the battery out to completely reset it but I am going to listen to one person at a time. I know how hard it is to troubleshoot a problem when someone is going off doing exploratory surgery!

I am not sure I have a good rom. I know you probably can't put links here but perhaps could you give me good search words to put in google? I haven't had a lot of luck. I am not sure if I am in preboot or Manufacturing? Can you give me a nudge in the right direction? or I could provide an email address.


Thanks once again
