[Solved] e280 troubles

Hello!

I have an e280 sansa MP3 player and long story short...I accidentally completely erased everything on the device while using Gparted. I want to use rockbox as a solution to my problem. I cannot access recovery mode and have unsuccessfully been able to access the manufacturing mode. I tried following a guide here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Unbrick

I may be doing something incorrectly because I do not understand how I am suppose to use the 1st file it suggests I download, the e200tool. I am using a live version of ubuntu, but I am not sure how to apply the file. I need some clarification of what's exactly suppose to happen and what I am suppose to do.

Any help is appreciated thanks!!

You don't apply e200tool.  Its actually a program that you use to communicate and reprogram the e200 when recovery mode fails.

However, if all you did was erase your e200's partition while it was in MSC mode, you should still have access to recovery mode as far as I know.  I think you can format the entire MSC mode disk without losing recovery mode.

I cannot get recovery mode to work. I am not sure what mode my sansa was in before I reformatted it. So if I cannot get into recovery mode then I should be able to get into manufacturing mode correct?

Windows detects a device, but ubuntu does not detect a device at all.

I believe most Linux distros won't, by default, show all possible partitions to every user, so there may be partitions which aren't presented to the user because the user interface is configured to not present every possible partition.

Type "dmesg" (without the quotes) in a terminal. This will show you if any hardware was detected when plugged in.
