Sansa Fuze Semi-Bricked?

(1/1)

tegguN:
I know this is a test build and isn't officially supported etc. but I couldn't find a place for this thread (mods if there's a better place please move the thread, thanks)

Ok so I have a strange problem. I have a Sansa Fuze v1- I've managed to install the fuze build of Rockbox fine and that works perfectly. However, when I boot into the Sansa Fuze firmware, I get stuck at about 10-15% of "Refreshing your media"- only holding the power switch for 10 seconds turns the device off. I can always get back into Rockbox fine but get no further with the Sansa firmware.

I've tried updating the firmware manually, but it always refreshes the database instead of updating first so gets stuck at 10-15%. The Windows Sansa utility doesn't detect the Fuze, even though windows/linux sees it fine and can operate as normal.

Any help??? Or should I be posting this over at the Sansa forums?

saratoga:
Probably the sandisk forums, but I would try deleting the music off the Fuze in Rockbox.

ej0rge:
You have a file somewhere that the fuze doesn't understand.

When i had that problem, it turned out to be a zero-length m4a file.

tegguN:
I posted a thread over at the Sansa forums about this- I managed to fix my problem (by accident). After formatting several times with no luck I disconnected the Fuze without safely removing it or unmounting it and it when straight into the Sansa firmware. Not really sure why that worked but it did. :D
