I don't know, you haven't told me what you did. 

Jerrymc777:

1.  I went into Manufacturing Mode on a Linux system.
2.  Used Daniel's e200tool:
./e200tool recover  BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
3.  Finally got into Recovery Mode. (16MB drive opens in Linux)
4.  Copied 01.00.12A firmware (PP5022.mi4) AND created an empty file "sansa.fmt."
5. Rebooted device
6. Sansa firmware now loads but "Fails to load database."
7. WIN10 now sees the device as a Sansa Media Player and shows 2 drives.
(F: and G:)  Both of which are inaccessible (Cannot format them or do anything with them.
8. RockBox Util. fails.  (Cannot mount to F: drive)

This is where I'm stuck at.... :(

saratoga:
Did you also copy the ROM file? 

The sansa.fmt file reformats the player, so you do not have to format anything if you did that.

Jerrymc777:
Sorry.

I copied PP5022.mi4
BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
and created an empty sansa.fmt file.
 
Rebooted and now I have it working.  :)

I loaded RB via RB Utility.

I hate the fact that WIN10 keeps wanting to format that F%#% G: drive and keeps complaining it's "inaccessible."
If I knew how to shut OFF WIN10 autoplay, I would have done it years ago!
Any ideas, so I don't inadvertently format it again and screw my E250 up again?

Thanks for the help!

Of all the posts I've found and gathered on how to repair an E250v1 Blue Ring of Death issue, I think the real issue that confused me was getting some basic simple instructions AND downloading the correct files for the device.

If anyone's interested on a straight forward solution, just PM me...
