Disabling Sansa e200 firmware's obnoxious database refreshing

(1/7) > >>

JEJ:
The FAQ mentions that to disable the refreshing every time you boot the OF, you can:

Download the latest version of sansapatcher and any version of the Sansa original firmware below v1.03.XX. You can use the one dated October 20th, 2007 here. Now connect the Sansa to your PC (make sure it's in MSC mode) and execute the following commands in the command line (Start -> Run -> cmd for Windows users). Make sure that the filenames are correct and both sansapatcher and the .mi4 file are in the same folder. After you are done, SAFELY remove your Sansa. Database-refresh will only be deactivated when you boot into the OF via USB-connection with no microSD card inserted.

sansapatcher.exe -of PP5022.mi4
sansapatcher.exe -d
sansapatcher.exe --install

I researched this PP5022.mi4 file and it appears to me that it is only for the Rhapsody models. Am I right? If I am wrong, where can I get this file?

Try here:

MarcGuay:
What makes you think it's for the Rhapsody models?  It's in a folder called "e200", next to a folder called "e200R".  The reason I ask is because I put that link in the FAQ and hope it's correct.

If you're having so much problems I would think going in and setting the SYSTEM directory to be read-only would be a much easier solution...

MarcGuay:
Does that method work on the e200 as well?
