I'm just trying to install the Rockbox firmware onto my sansa E250R.
the instructions aren't clear enough towards the end of step 1, were it methons to run the e200patcher.exe. Do I tell my computer to give the device the new driver before or after I run the patcher? And regardless when i do it before it says the wizard couldn't find a better driver, When i do it afterwords, the patcher say it doesn't recognizes a sansa e200r.

The order of the instructions seems pretty clear to me.  Update the driver first.  Then run e200rpatcher.

You can force Windows to use a specific driver if you choose "Don't search.  I will choose the driver to install."

Please use descriptive titles.

Okay, so I never really though too in dept about this process and never caught the "Don't search.  I will choose the driver to install.". Thanks ^^, I did that and the patcher caught the device finally. After completing step 2 I let the player boot and reboot. But now when I start up the player displayes, "Load main image failed switch to recovery mode".

So I did and now the computer doesn't have the 16Mb anymore, it's recunized as the e200 manufacturer device.

======================================================
Okay I figured out how to change the driver back to mass storage and unbrick it, but I really want rockbox firmware, can you please help me?

Are you sure it is an e200R?

[tr3166]

No the player is a Sansa e250R...

I just fixed the image so now it boots normally again, but I had to format, so Im anxious about getting Rockbox.

The e200R is the same as e250R.  The e200R talks about the e250R, e260R, e270R, and e280R.

Are you sure tho?  If you are going by the back, it could be wrong.  The only way to know if you have an e200R is by the USB modes.  The e200R has Rhapsody and PlayForSure modes.  You might want to double check if you have a v2, too.
