"No Sansa detected"
« on: January 30, 2009, 11:35:11 AM »
The Rockbox Utility is not detecting my e260 in MSC mode (the e260 is connected and visible in Explorer as a drive).
After I manually install .rockbox on the e260, I get no Rockbox splash on reboot. (even after bootloader install). I'm missing something but can't figure what.

What version is the Sansa firmware?

Also, try using rbutil 1.0.7 - there is a bug installing the sansa bootloader in later versions.

searching the forums would have helped (which you are required to by the forum guidelines) as this is a common problem recently. Guess why ...

What if bootloader 1.0.7 doesn't do the trick ? I have the exact same problem as daithio, but your advice didn't work for me...

My Sansa is detected by my computer, in msc mode, seen as the F: drive, but neither rbutil or the bootloader will detect it...

Any idea ?

Then you have a different issue. Please post some more details ... which OS, which Sansa, which OF version etc.

Current versions shouldn't have the problem any more. If you're having problems having your Sansa detect with a current version of RBUtil (1.2 as of this post) please describe in detail the problems you're having and the message you're receiving.

When I select autodetect I get the "could not detect a device select the device and mountpoint manually"  When I select e200 in the device window and click ok I get the " no mountpoint given" When I browse for the e280 in the file system it is not there. When I open "My Computer" the e280 icon is there there is noletter designation to the drive however. It would be simple if I could find the drive in the file system menu. Finally when I close the configuation window I see SanDisk Sansa e200 at <invalid> I am not especially anxious to proceed as I have allready Dammaged one player irrecoverably. I am lucky it was under warranty

You cannot install to your sansa without having a drive letter in Windows.  You probably skipped the step where you put your sansa into MSC mode (where it has a drive letter).  If that didn't make sense to you, check the "Installation" section of the rockbox manual.

you know I did in fact change to msc mode when I first got the unit, but wouldn't you know it you were right for some reason it had reverted and I did not realize the difference in the way it reads in "My Computer". So of course the utility works perfectly now, Thanks

Read the whole thread.  You don't need an old version.
