sansa 280 v1 won't boot
« on: July 31, 2010, 01:25:10 AM »
I have Sansa 280 V1 that wont boot. It gets to the rockbox boot screen Says  (committing database [4/9] )
and locks up it never gets any further it will hang there until the battery dies or I shut it off I have not been able to make it boot to the original firm ware when I try I get the Sansa boot screen for a minuet or so and then reverts to the rockbox boot and locks at the same point as before. the bottom of the rockbox Screen it says  Ver. r26345-100527.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?  I have not been able to get it to boot enough for the computer to recognize it.
Mark  :(
PS I have another E280 v1 and 2 E250v1s that are working great it is just this one that has a problem. ;)

can you boot to OF and update/reinstall RB?

check the manual but on the fuze and clip its just holding the << arrow when you turn the player on and it goes into OF.

No it won't boot into the OF I get the sansa boot screen after a few seconds it changes to the Rockbox boot screen and freezes at the same place as before. Is there a away to make Rockbox skip the database commit at boot up?

Are you sure you're doing it right?  If you hold the button you should see the OF, not rockbox.

I am sure I have 5 other sansa E200 series players that have been rockboxed for a couple of years with no problems It is just this one that has got something strange going on. I just cycled it 3or 4 times If I hold the << button I get the initial sandisk boot screen but it freezes there until I relase the << button then the screen changes to the rockbox boot screen the window opens that says "committing database [0/9]" It counts up to [4/9] and freezes until I turn it off or the battery dies. the committing database window appears when you reboot after adding or deleting data from the player. I think there might be a problem with the database but I cant make it boot up enough for the computer to recognize the player.

If it would boot into the OF I would delete rock box and the data base and start over but it never gets far enough to do that.
