i've already done everything without sdcard. do you think the player is semi-bricked? i mean it's working (expect recording) but i can't modify anything on the internal memory.

Mihail Zenkov:
Yes, it looks like semi-bricked. Something wrong with flash memory or controller.
If player in this state not usable for you - you can try do unbrick (http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMSUnbrick) procedure. But probably at next week I will have enough time to finish work on bootloading from SD cards. In this case you can try do unbrick procedure with new bootloader and if firmware updates successfully but flash memory still stay read only you will able to boot from SD card.

i think i'll wait to test the bootloading on sd. but i'll need to update boatloader for that, or will it work with the old one (because i can't update)?

thanks a lot to all the developpers for your amazing work, long live rockbox!

Mihail Zenkov:
Yes, you should update firmware for new bootloader. In your case only one way to do that: do unbrick procedure. But if something go wrong you can got really bricked player. So do that only if player not usable for you.
