e250R bootloader not recognized by e200rpatcher ??

(1/2) > >>

glenn69:
I have an e250R v1 confirmed.  My modes list as Rhapsody and Play for Sure, so I believe that makes it an R.

I run the e200rpatcher.linux.  I start the unit with hold activated, press select, connect to usb (man mode I believe)

The e200rpatcher connects, gives a message that upload was successful, however the screen on the sansa reads
Unknown bootloader
Rockbox installer cannot continue

What's wrong?

Thanks

linuxstb:
The patching application that e200rpatcher uploads to your Sansa performs a check  to see if the Sandisk bootloader installed on your device is either the e200r bootloader , the patched for Rockbox version of that bootloader, or any of the known e200 bootloaders.

That error message is displayed when all those checks fail.

I'm not sure what to suggest - I can't recall anyone else ever reporting this problem.

If you can compile things yourself, you could try commenting out that check in bootloader/main-e200r-installer.c but I'm not sure if that's a good idea...

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I followed this link to restore the bootloader
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200Unbrick
Everything worked OK there.  So I should now have a wrking bootloader.

I then tried the e200rpatch again with the same results.
I would imagine if my bootlader was not correct the sansa would not boot at all.
That is not the case, the sansa boots fine???

As a side note, when I connect sansa in Rhapsody (MSC) mode, Linux mounts it read only.
Even as root user I cannot write.  Does that help?

saratoga:
That usually means a corrupted file system or flash I think.

glenn69:
OK, if it is a corrupted filesystem or flash, what can I do to fix it?
