Hi,

(I post my message here, as it could be a good source for anyone else having the same trouble)

during my last firmware upgrade, I ran out of battery (shame on me, yet I was warned)...

Now, fuze+ won't boot anymore.

I've been able to boot it in HID_Recovery, and successfully load recovery.sb with imxtools/sbloader (so it's not totally dead).

Now, my question is how can I flash it again ? (with the patched firmware, or original)

could I just "dd" something like seen in posts #105/#106 ? (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,26284.msg184559.html#msg184559)

Should It try to load [original]firmware.sb so the flash process will restart ?

What are your advices ? :)
Thanks

Edit:
Thanks to pamaury, my fuze+ is now recovered !

FTR, this is what we've done.

[sandisk-firmware.sb, is the OF]

$ wget http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/sandisk-sansa/fuzeplus/bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa
$ ./mkimxboot -i sandisk-firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o recovery.sb -t recovery

press vol up (keep it down) then plug on USB

$ sudo ./sbloader 1024 recovery.sb
$ ./mkimxboot -i sandisk-firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o recovery.sb -t recovery

$ fdisk -l
then find which device is has ID 53

My result are:
Disk /dev/sdb: 15.9 GB, 15925772288 bytes
1 heads, 1 sectors/track, 31105024 cylinders, total 31105024 sectors
Units = cylinders of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000


   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *      109569    31105024    15497728    1  FAT12
/dev/sdb2            1025      101376       50176   53  OnTrack DM6 Aux3
/dev/sdb3          101377      105472        2048    1  FAT12
/dev/sdb4          105473      109568        2048    1  FAT12


So it's /dev/sdb2

$ sudo dd if=firmware.sb bs=512 seek=4 of=/dev/sdb2

Then unplug USB.
Boot one time onthe OF to end the flash process...

pamaury:
Yes it is possible. If possible, it would be better to come on IRC. Otherwise I'll write down the procedure.

megal0maniac:
I'm sorry, but it would probably be best if you wrote it down. I can check if you're on IRC every now and then, but I have no way of staying logged on throughout the day.

Pamaury: The CRT effect is GONE for me. I've been using BL V1 since I don't use an SD card and thus saw no need to update bootloader, but just now on a whim I thought I'd give it a shot, after the firmware update I booted to RB some stuff flashed on the top 6-7 lines of the screen then it went white for a fraction of a second then to the normal RB splash screen. I'm running with 7d54ff0 and BL V7 screen 2 with no CRT effect. No idea what in the boot loader would do it but it works!

Mystos:
I am sorry for my bad English. I use the translator.

I have put today Rockbox on the Fuze +. Has found out the similar problem described in 12458. Internal memory and SD card  are not mounted in Windows simultaneously. If parametre USB Hide Internal Drive = YES - mounted internal memory. If USB Hide Internal Drive = NO - mounted SD card.
