Chronon:
Thank you.  :)

For others who stumble upon this thread, I don't know if these actions are entirely necessary; at least, they weren't in my case. To others who fear that they may have "bricked" their SanDisk Sansa Clip v2, please see the following thread: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?action=post2;start=0;board=28.

Here's what I'd posted on that thread:

(I can get it working into Sandisk firmware by holding 'back' button while powering on)

"THANK YOU!!! :D My SanDisk Sansa Clip v2 seems to be working again now with the original firmware! All I had to do was format the Clip as FAT32, download the latest v2 firmware image from SanDisk [and copy it to your SanDisk Sansa Clip v2, obviously], and hit the back button in order to get it to reboot and overwrite the ROCKbox firmware with the original firmware."

Sorry to bump this thread up again, but could you possibly link that topic again?  I get a "Start New Thread" window when I click on your link.  My Zip Clip was dead, dead, dead, but I just partially resurrected it via the back button and start button.  But now I'm not sure what I need to do next to get RockBox back...The screen says "refreshing your media" and has been there for several minutes....

Thanks a lot for the help so far!  I'm getting kinda sick of this little b*tch of a player by now...I never would have had to futz with it had the original installed software not gotten a deadly glitch.  Just not worth the hassle.

Serenity:
If you're able to get into the OF, you should be able to restore your player. Sometimes "Refreshing your media" stays for an uncomfortably long time. Let it run its course.

If it never finishes (after a day), power it down, hold the Select (center) button and plug it into your computer. Holding the center button forces the Zip's original firmware into MSC mode, after which you can try reinstalling Rockbox.
