NEED HELP Not yet bricked my e250r!

(1/1)

GeneralS:
Well rockbox worked fine. Sunday I decided "I love rockbox, but might as well go back to the old firmware"

So I Deleted the OF.mi4 and pp5022.mi4 not thinking. Now I cannot access anything. I can only get to recovery mode, and no matter what it says load image failed. Manufacturer mode does not work, my computer beeps but the drive doesn't show up. (I just need to get OF.mi4 and pp5022 back in)

What do I do now?

saratoga:
You didn't brick it, you just deleted both operating systems off of it, so it can't boot.

Read this:

And don't try Manufacturer again until you've understood that link.  There is no drive to mount in that mode.  Playing around with it carelessly is a good way to actually brick your player, or at least make it extremely difficult to fix.

AlexP:
I've edited the title as this is as of yet very much not bricked, and we don't want to scare people without reason.

GeneralS:
Thank you, I was just panic stricken and freaking out. (I had been trying 1 method for 4 hours previous to the post)
I figured out in recovery mode, I kept adding the e250 mi4. In-order to reinstall the firmware, I needed to use the e250r mi4. That fixed everything.

I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled rockbox, it worked perfectly, I just wanted to get rid of it... I'll stay with rockbox though.

If I could modify allot of stuff about Rockbox and make it better, I'd use it, but alas I don't know how to modify it, change settings, and any skin I installed on my player did not work.

Funny that you should mention that!  We have a lovely manual that describes the many wonderful features of Rockbox on the Sansa.   :D

When installing themes pay attention to the description.  If they have not been modified since June 23 of this year then they will generally not work.  Themes that say they have been updated recently should work.
