My E280R died after Rockbox install

I've had trouble getting Windows to 'see' my Sansas.  Here's what worked for me.

If you can get back to where you're able to boot the Sansa original firmware:

Go to 'Settings', 'USB Mode' and change the setting to "MSC" instead of "MTP"

Set to "MTP" windows should 'see' your Sansa.

Yes. Make a folder called, "Sansa.fmt" on the Sansa and allow the Sansa to reboot.
It will delete your Rockbox files and go back to factory default.

HOWEVER, if you don't have a good copy of the Original Firmware still on the player, it will just get stuck. You'd need to Manually Download and copy the CORRECT Firmware to that folder as well.

--The original firmware file is Supposed to be in the Sansa's System folder but if you do the above format then reboot then go back to recovery mode and drag the Firmware onto that partition, the Sansa will locate and copy it to the right spot.

Llorean:
And again, this is absolutely unnecessary because the original firmware is NOT stored on the data partition, and Rockbox is not loaded from the data partition if Rockbox's bootloader isn't installed to the firmware partition.

As well, the original firmware file is in the System folder for Rockbox to find it. In a non-Rockboxed Sansa, that file isn't normally present or needed.
