Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode
JdGordon:
WOOT... OK I just brought my sansa back to life and because it was difficult I'll explain what I needed to do.
Firstyl, when it would start copying the .rom across it would fail very quickly after, So I edited e200tool.c line 59 to #define E200_TIMEOUT 100000.
After this you should be able to get into recovery mode. However.. recovery mode was useless for me.. no matter what I copied in nothing would get written.. So as soon as it starts copying the rom across disable the hold switch, then as soon as you get the sansa logo on the screen disconnect the usb cable.
You should be in the OF now. DONT TURN OFF or you will have to start again!
Go into settings > usb mode and enable MSP mode. then connect the usb cable...
(youll need linux for the next bit)..
download http://jdgordon.mine.nu:8080/jonno/e200/partitions.tar.gz (its 5mb, and i have a slow connection, so be patient).. tar -zxf should extract the 2 files from it...
then..
dd if= < one of the files from the above tar.gz> of=
unplug, reboot (if it hangs when usb disconnects reset it manually)..
If all goes well the rockbox bootloader should show up. Try going into the OF.. if it doesnt let you, you then need to go into recovery mode and put it on manually...
after all this, reinstall the rockbox bootloader, and dont do the idiotic thing you did to brick it!
good luck :)

ok....after many tries i found out that this command seems to work when I wan't to build the e200tool:
gcc -o /home/knoppix/e200tool/e200tool.c -lusb
but! Than comes an error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Libusb is already installed....I'm working with Knoppix!
What I have to do?
Help! Lue
JdGordon:
libsub-dev is needed... althought the knoppix i used had it installed already
Brambo:
Again I'm a bit further now...
If I got luck, I get this on my pc screen:
e200tool v0.0.6-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007
Searching for device 0781:0720 ... 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 not found!
Searching for device 0b70:0003 ... found!
Initializing USB stub (3460 bytes) ... done!
Writing 'BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom' to address 0x10600000
Searching for device 6666:e200 ... 9 8 found!
Write at 0x1065feb8
Write done!
Running from address 0x10600000
Searching for device 6666:e200 ... found!
Execution started!
After this, nothing happens and I can't find any 16mb disk....
I both tried Ubuntu and Knoppix but both the same...
Nothing on my sansa screen and no 16mb rescue disk created (at least I can't find the disk)...
Any help on what to try next?
Many, many thanks in advance!
Bram
