Sansa Fuze+

Ok,
here is the procedure for anyone who wants to help me:
1) download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/71cfi4b7a55g25n/recovery.sb This a the svn bootloader with some modifications I haven't yet committed
2) build the imx_hid_recovery tool in the svn (utils/imx_hid_recovery/, http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/utils/imx_hid_recovery/) if you haven't done it (no need for a cross-compiler !)
3) Boot the fuze+ in recovery mode (see the SansaFuzePlus wiki page, basically hold volume up while plugging usb)
4) Send the recovery.sb file to the device(probably need root access):
imx_hid_recovery 1024 recovery.sb
5) the screen will show some message, wait a few seconds and it should go into usb mode and appear as a mass storage device
6) make a partial raw dump of the device(I would like the first 64Mb if possible, and at least the first 4Mb) using dd:
dd bs=512 count=131072 if=/dev/sdb of=fuzep.bin
Don't forget to replace /dev/sdb by the actual device name (see dmesg messages) and changes count if you want to dump less (64Mb => 64 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 131072, 2Mb => 4 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 8192)
7) upload the fuzep.bin file :)

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks to metaphys and kerobaros I've found out what the problem was. I've managed to build a dual-boot bootloader so I can now select either rockbox or the OF. However doing so currently requres to use freescale's elftosb because the OF expects some alignement that my tool doesn't provide for now.

metaphys:
great news!
I was just thinking: shouldn't the fuze+ appear on the unusable port's list of rockbox's homepage?

pamaury:
Yes you're right, it should probably appear. I should also update some parts of the wiki too.
