Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode
hallgreng:
The makefile did the trick, I just suck at gcc, i guess =]
--- Code: ---$./e200tool init
e200tool v0.0.6-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007
Searching for device 0781:0720 ... found!
Initializing USB stub (3460 bytes) ... done!
--- End code ---
Im thinking that what I need to do now is $./e200tool write ic2.bin, but i dont want to do another stupid thing to break my device even more due to ignorance, so if you dont mind giving me a little instruction, I would be willing to follow it.

No, the proper procedure should be to verify which USB mode you can use. If not the firmware's, then recovery mode, then manufacturing mode and as a last restort the pre-boot mode.
Only in the pre-boot mode should the i2c attempt be made.
Seeing that e200tool detected your device as 0781:0720, we know that it isn't pre-boot mode!
bob:
Here's a stupid question, have you tried this, which I found on another site:
>The 1.03.01 firmware has a sleep mode... You have to hold down the power button
>for at least 30 seconds first. Then you can go into recovery mode.
>Before any of that though, you have to rename the bootloader and firmware to
>pribootLoader.rom and firmware.mi4
And for those who may know, can the device operate (that is, accept firmware) with blank flash devices? Which of the modes you listed would it be in?

I don't think anyone knows this for sure, but one guess is that the pre-boot mode is provided by the PP5024 itself and if so and the i2c rom would be damaged (as a "blank flash" probably implies), you'd still reach the pre-boot usb mode.

Well youre right, it seems that I was only in manufacturing mode. Yay? I was hoping for a little more trouble
Regardless, thanks for your help. My sansa is back from the dead thanks to you and your e200tool app.
Sorry it wasnt as busted as I thought, I would have liked to have contributed in my own small way.
