As the text says, trying to create the sansa.fmt file, does nothing.
Well, I tried to enter recovery mode with LOCK button on, and pressing the center button.
The only thing that it does is light up the blue led. My PC won't recognize it.
This is getting very frustrating :/
Chronon:
You were able to enter Recover Mode previously. Is your Hold switch still working?
If Recovery Mode cannot be reached now then I can only offer that it might be recoverable by following the instructions for Manufacturing Mode (same page as before) to install a new SanDisk bootloader.
sr00t:
Well.
I copied these two files:
--- Code: ---cp pribootLoader.rom firmware.mi4 /media/16MB-FORMAT/
--- End code ---
They copied and installed succesfully. When it rebooted "Invalid Image" message was gone.
But now it hangs in Sandisk Sansa boot logo.
Nothing happens, absolutely nothing.
It's powered on now, after an hour being like that.
I still can't believe this thing happened suddendly like that. I didn't do anything, it just powered off alone. Then when I turned it on again, it was bricked like this :(.
Chronon:
You can get into Recovery Mode but the OF won't boot. It could be caused by the problem described here:
--- Quote from: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaE200Unbrick ---Note: On c200, in some cases, the Sandisk firmware can get confused by a corrupted partition table or FAT bootsector. This can manifest itself in various ways, such as the OF freezing or not booting at all, showing weird free disk space estimates, or reporting bad information to the PC in MSC mode. In those cases, following the instructions at SansaC200Erase may help.

Click on the wiki link and try following those instructions.

Neither of them work.
Thanks for your patience.
