e270 WIPEOUT
saratoga:
A badly corrupted file system can cause this. You can reformat the file system using recovery mode:

Note that using the Windows format tool in recovery mode will very nearly destroy your device, so you must follow those directions to format the player safely using its build in tool.

Ok, so I held |<< on startup, which booted the sandisk firmware after a bunch of text [black screen with white text "rockbox bootloader" &c.] from the rockbox firmware appeared, which then froze [on the sandisk firmware] with a green "Refresh Database" overlay. I did another "reset all" by holding down the menu button, and turned it on normally, which caused the same rockbox screen to appear, which THEN changed into a white screen with text reading:
*PANIC*
Stkov main <0>
Neither firmware boot allows me to see the device when connected with USB. I can, however, get to recovery mode by booting the sandisk firmware, whilst simultaneously switching the hold button and holding the record button.

As I said above, you probably need to reformat the player using recovery mode.

Post Merge: August 02, 2011, 03:24:59 PMOk, i already have an .mi4 file for my device which i obtained from the SanDisk forums, but the zip also included a .rom file called "BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom", which, according to the instructions, i should not copy. i guess it's irrelevant, but i wonder what that file is?
Post Merge: August 02, 2011, 03:28:21 PManother question, hopefully the last: to format, should i use a text file, or a file folder [i.e. sansa.fmt]?

Its a renamed mp3 file.

I've never done this, but since it says file, I would not risk creating a folder. Probably best to trust the instructions here.
