Where did you see that you should format it fat32?

Darko:
nowhere, i simply tried to see what is gonna happen, i run windows you know :)

i am downloading live linux cd in the background with dd tool, so will try from linux to re-live it.
Post Merge: October 23, 2011, 10:18:07 PMI started d/l Knoppix, but now I checked it doesn't come with "dd" tool. Can someone tell what Linux distro should I use for OF firmware restoration?

JdGordon:
What made you think your clip was unrecoverably bricked that made you use the unbrick page? In all likelyhood 5 minutes on IRC would have told you a hard reset was all that was needed :(

Darko:
Well, there I haven't found any word of hard-reset on Rockbox firmware page, only either succsessfull instalation/running or bricking. If you mean holding Power button for a long time, I tried it and nothing. As mentioned, I also unsoldered battery and tried back again. Wheather screen is just black or really black, do not know. Does anyone know what Linux distro to use for possible recovery?

Whyle I'm waiting Ubuntu to download (thanks to the people over @IRC), I was fiddling with dd for Windows and finally found meaningull tutorial. This is what I get -- question mark ? when I do --list command.

Darko:
I wish to make a quick thank to wonderfull people here at Rockbox IRC channel -- with their help I was able to repair my Sansa Clip v2!!!  :) :) :)

(joy and happines restored)

Tommorow I will be very bussy but will start writing about whole procedure, I will be using IRC logs as a help -- in order to help others in similar situation. I will also make some pics before put my Sansa Clip back together.

Thank you all again
Darko
