Sansa Clip Zip freezes at startup
« on: October 25, 2015, 02:20:19 PM »
Hello. I have a rockboxed Sansa Clip Zip 4GB with a 64GB SanDisk microSD card and it freezes at startup with Rockbox and with the original firmware. Also, the Sansa it's not recognized for the PC -Windows and Linux-. What can I do?

PD: Sorry for my engrish :)

If neither OS can boot, probably the flash memory is really screwed up.  Try the rockbox bootloader USB mode (hold center button while booting if I remember correctly) and see if you can repair the file system from there.

Sorry for making you wait. I'm very busy. How can I make the player to boot into that mode? I press that combination but it only starts normally (obviusly, freezed, with the Rockbox logo and the 4.0 version advice at botton). Thank you.

Turn off player, hold center button, plug in player to USB.

Thanks. Well, when I do that the player shows the boot screen for less than a second a then that's what I get on Windows 7.

If you can get it to mount, try reformatting.  If it won't mount, its probably broken.

Well. I tried uninstalling the player's driver and reinstalling it. Didn't work. I tried to mount the player on both, Windows and Linux, but nothing. So, I assume that the player is broken. Well, at least it tells me when battery runs out. Thanks for your help ;)
