Formatted 16MB-Recovery Drive, Please Help!!!
justshams:
well..
i'll tel u my prob in detail
i had 01.02.18A firmware on my sansa e260 (not r series, ita a V1) and then i installed rockbox on it.. i was enjoyin rockbox, and one day my cousin wanted me to showhow to install rockbox, so i remover rockbox(by using sansapacher)
then i also wanted himto show how to upgrade the original firmware manually in recovery mode. so i went to the recovery mode but then i did a stupid thing and formatted my 16mb-format disk, the disk did not format successfully for the first attempt and so i did it again and succesfully completed it when i now looked at my sansa's screen i saw
LUN0 locked
LUN0 unlocked
these messages appeared repeatedly
and when i disconnected the sansa and it froze.
i forced it to power off by holding the menu button for 15 sec and when i booted it again it flashed the sansa screen and gave the error
Load main image failed
Switch to Recovrey mode
now when i went to recovery mode i got a 16MB-FORMAT drive detected on my system with just a curroupted VERSION.TXT file in it
i copied the mi4 file to reinstall the firmware (i tried both firmware.mi4 and PP5022.mi4 with and without the bootloader which also itried in 2 names pribootLoader.rom and BL_SD_BOARDSUPPORT.rom, i have tried all combinations)
but when i wite these files on the 16MB drive i see
LUN0 locked
LUN0 unlocked thing repeating on my sansa screen
and it does not display anthing else
it does not commit the firmware and when i plug it out it displays the disconnected message and freezes
i tried this a number of times in around 4 systems
nothing works
no matter what i put on the 16Mb drive it freezes on disconnecting and when i again connect it to the PC the drive contains only a curroupted version.txt file and nothing else
the VERSION.TXT file containes this
Version Info: Product Rev.: ÿÿÿÿÿ ...removed for clarity... ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ2 œ„_þÂÿ°Bé|
Base Code: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
i then tried the e200tool in linux
and was able to complete succesfullt the procedure as mentioned in chrisjs's website
http://chrisjs.com/howto-e200r-to-e200/
but after doing this the when the sansa exectutes and comes to the recovery drive it just contains the curroupted version.txt and like before it does not commit any firmware and still freezes on disconnection
please help....... please please please
i don mind having only rockbox and not the sansa original firmware
EDIT by bascule: shortened the super-wide line ;)

I think you need two files to flash firmware and on some sites it even tells you three or four.
The two files I use are
firmware.mi4
and
pribootLoader.rom

i have followed the unbrick guide;
but doesn seem to work ??? i have followed the procedure on "anythingbutipod" website but it just doesn seem to happen..
please help(atleast by praying) ;)
or is there anyway i can just install rockbox by completely uprooting the sansa bootloader and installing a new rockbox bootloader is this possible ???

Tell us EXACTLY what you have done, and what the problems were.

Do not follow random guides on random sites that we cannot possibly control and are frequently wrong.
