Sansa Clip+ Stuck At Bootloader USB Mode

(1/4) > >>

BlackGuyRX:
Got a Sansa Clip+ Roxkbox problem

Earlier while running Rockbox firmware, it froze and I tried to reboot it but I got a error saying it couldn't find the firmware. I booted back into stock Sansa firmware and it worked fine...Until I changed USB modes to I can backup my music in the internal memory...It froze after changing modes and now I can't boot into stock firmware nor will Rockbox still work...What should I do? When I plug it in my desktop, the only option it gives is asking me if I want to format the device in Windows...Is this my only option and just reinstall Rockbox via Rockbox Utility afterwards?

Bilgus:
I don't know if I'd do that, I think you are probably on the verge of your flash memory going bad

Instead you might try putting on the multiboot bootloader to run rockbox from your sd card just in case
see here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51844.0.html

so basically what I'd recommend is to first boot into your OF (Original Firmware, the stock sansa one) do the MB-Bootloader

and then (and/or) boot back into the OF make sure the  'clppa.bin' file is now gone and/or use the multiboot firmware on a sd card and verify that the multiboot functionality is working finally from the OF format the device don't use windows to format it

BlackGuyRX:
Alright, i'm in and managed to back up my main music folder from the internal storage...However my main folder for chiptunes and all it's files are corrupted...and they look like this

I tried to delete them on Windows, but they didn't go away and when I went to properties and checked the info from there...It claims it's 41.5 GB in size...And this is an 8GB device...

Bilgus:
It is pretty clearly corrupted, If you can get the multiboot bootloader on there you might have a chance and at least that would give you a working device if things went awry. If not you can try recovery mode but that requires taking the device apart and getting the recovery image of a good 8gb clip+ to put on there I have successfully pulled one off a 4g clip+ and put it back but I don't have one for an 8gb unit

BlackGuyRX:
I can't get the multiboot so start. Best I can do is boot into stock firmware after having the device plugged in my desktop and holding down left when I eventually get it to power on. I give up...Is there any way I can safely remove any trace of Rockbox and just start over with stock firmware without having to hold down left + power?
