ATA error: -2 at boot after updating Sansa Clip+ (dev builds)

Thank you, installed and testing :)

Hi, I'm new here. :)

I just tried updating my Clip+ to the latest build offered by the Rockbox Utility, since I had a problem with playback stopping in the middle of files. Now I also have the ATA error shown in the picture.

The problem is I don't know how to go back to the latest stable (or any other) version, since the player is not recognized and therefore doesn't get a drive letter, so the Utility doesn't work anymore. I thought I had bricked it but this thread gave me new hope. How can I try the versions mentioned here or go back to stable? Thanks a lot!

Bitstream, boot the sansa firmware (hold left+power), then connect the player to the pc, save your settings configuration file "config.cfg" to the pc if you want to restore them later, delete the folder ".rockbox".

> download the last build Mihail posted
> move the folder .rockbox inside the .zip to the player
> safely unplug it from pc
> turn it off
> boot it (it'll boot rockbox again)
> run it and if any issues arise, report it to the devs.

edit: don't know if it was clear but do not use Rockbox Utility in this case

Bitstream:
Thank you very much!  :) This was already the second time I thought the Clip+'s days were over. The first time was about 2 years ago when the original firmware was always hanging at "Refreshing your media". It was only when I was looking for a new Sansa player that I learned of Rockbox, tried it out, and it gave it a second life. It's fantastic that people are still working on improved software for such an old player. Keep it up please!

qorx:
no problem, glad you're enjoying it again :)
