e250r bricked [SOLVED]

Third Party > Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players

OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Player: Sansa e250r (v1)

I tried to upgrade Rockbox on my e250r from 3.3 to the latest using the Rockbox Utility. When it rebooted the bootloader crashed, and it auto-restarted into the native Sansa software, so I tried to re-install the bootloader, too, but the e250r kept giving a "read-only" error (even though /etc/mtab showed it as rw), so after some digging I tried running Rockbox Utility as root. No changes. I tried using the sansapatcher tool to unload the bootloader but with no changes.

I did something with the -rf option without understanding it (never, never, never do this!) and now I have a brick :(

I've tried going into Recovery Mode and Manufacturing Mode, but Ubuntu never sees the device (it never mounts in /dev/media or /dev/sdb). Running 'lsusb' gives me:

Which is *way* odd, because I don't have a C200, I have an e250r. I've downloaded e200tool, the .btl and .mi4 files and what not, but I'm afraid to proceed since it's being recognized as the wrong player. Any ideas? Thanks!

Chronon:
Can you mount it manually?

NorthboundTrain:
Nope, it's not showing up in mtab:

--- Code: ---</mnt> $ sudo mkdir foo

</mnt> $ sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/foo
mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist

</mnt> $ sudo mount /dev/sdb
mount: can't find /dev/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

--- End code ---

gevaerts:
Can you give lsusb and dmesg outputs?
