C200 Died, Most Weird Problem Ever!

[Chronon]

Are you sure your player is in Manufacturing Mode when you execute this?  e200tool won't work with Recovery Mode, so there's no use in using that. 

There's a mention that the procedure for getting into Manufacturing Mode is different for the c200 at http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200.html

How to get into Manufacturing Mode on a C200:

    * Power off
    * Turn ON lock/hold
    * Hold down DOWN button
    * Insert USB cable or press menu/on while holding down button

This isn't mentioned in our wiki, so I'm adding it to the "Unbrick" page now.

Linux won't recognize the Sansa that way.

Any idea? Or should we give up on this  ?

Linux won't recognize the Sansa that way.

It does. Check lsusb as root, and you'll see it there

And yes, I don't stop pressing the DOWN button till I connect the USB cable to my laptop.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the exact same problem: when I try connectibg in Recovery mode, the 16mb partition doesn't exist, no ums device appears. When I try Manufacturing mode, nothing happens, it doesn't show in lsusb. Also, there is no screen activity, just the BROD.

I've tried e200erase, but that hangs for over two hours.

Any help is appreciated.

No my friend, I gave up with that...
I couldn't find the answer here.
I bought an iPod Touch (obviously I can't configure rockbox) but.. I use it for the apps.
I still miss rockbox but I see this project is going nowhere if they can't port it as an application. Buying a rockbox-capable player in my country is like searching in vain.-
