GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!
This new e200tool update FIXED my US sansa e270!!!!!
THANKS Bagder and MrH!!!
For the people that still haven't fixed their sansa here how I did it:
1. boot up knoppix live cd
2. download & install libusb 0.1.12
3. download e200tool source + makefile
4. compile e200tool (gcc -o e200tool e200tool.c -lusb)
5. connect sansa with hold ON and pressed middle button
6. hold REC and command: sudo ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
7. the only thing to my sansa after the recover command is that its now seen as 6666:e200 instead of 0b70:0003 -> thats what we want! it has to be 6666:e200
8. when your sansa is seen by linux as 6666:e200, hold REC and use sudo ./e200tool i2cprogram i2c.bin
9. the program writes a lot to the sansa, when its ready, disconnect sansa and reboot it.
10. if sansa doesn't boot right, then you have to get into recovery mode: turn sansa off, turn ON hold and hold rec, then connect sansa to PC to get 16MB device. Copy .mi4 file to it and discoonect sansa
11. Sansa should be up and running again!
I still have one question left: on the e200tool-site are two i2c.bin files.... one for US 260 and one for US 280... I've got US 270.. does it matter that I used the US 280 i2c.bin file?
Thanks again!
Mr. Vage:
Thank you for your reply Badger. I tried the tool in linux and am getting much better results. My output is now:

Where do I go from here? Rebooting the player still gives me the blue ring of death. Is there any thing else that needs to be done or am I completely f***ed? I already lost two iPods and I don't want to have to tell my parents that now I bricked my Sansa!
Mr. Vage:
I forgot to mention that I have an e270. It seems that no one has dumped the i2c rom for the e270 yet. Badger said that I should reload the i2c rom, so could someone please dump it? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Update: I should have read the post right before mine. I'll try using the e280 i2c rom.
Update: Well, thats it. Complete death to my Sansa. :'( Protocol error (-71) while writing the i2c rom. Oh well, I tried. Does anyone know how much SanDisk would charge for repair?
Brambo:
Mr Vage, is your sansa not recognised anymore by linux?
I have a US e270 and used the i2c.bin dump of the US e280 and all went well....
Mr. Vage:
No, the device is no longer recognized. Something went wrong during the programming of the i2c rom. Each time i retried, the progress was less and less. It is completely dead.
