Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode

<< < (32/46) > >>

Lue:
after reading the thread again and again,

I recognized a member called "Illa" (page 2/3), having the same problem like me.

It seems that the previous owner formatted the 16mb recovery mode partition.

Is there any hope for my sansa or is it completely dead?

Thank you.

Maybe there ist anybody alive in this forum?

Ok.
My problem is that it doesn't matter what I write on the recovery mode, it doesn't work.
(After writing the xxx.rom , for details look last posts..)

Fixing the i2c.bin file also does not work because my sansa is not recognized as 6666:e200

What can I do?

Help me please!

Thank you

I just put a corrupted BL on my sansa in recovery mode to see what'd happen.

Assuming you're using Linux, is the device ID 0781:0720?  If it is, grab a copy of the sansa BL (check md5sum, below) and firmware (check md5sum, below)

MD5sums:
6a10d79a2e13f6b4a7c8243f422e5608  BL_SD_BOARDSUPPORTSD.ROM
d9f946067844e2a24fcbb6cfedb75057  PP5022.MI4
CHECK BOTH MD5SUMS

Save both of them to either the directory where e200tool is, or to whereever.  Run
./e200tool recover BL_SD_BOARDSUPPORTSD.ROM
while holding REC on the sansa. Running that as root may be required.

When it's done, recovery mode should automatically start (provided you held REC)

Place both the BL and firmware on the recovery partition (from what I found, the BL is required, but someone else may want to confirm that).  Make sure you MD5 at least the BL on there, if not the MI4, to prevent having to redo all of this.

Unmount the sansa, wait for it to reboot, and hope it works.

Hi again everybody. I've been experiencing some difficulties. I don't know if you remember the last time my pc only recognized something in the usb port. I tried to use e200tool on windows but it didn't work. So I tried using Knoppix but seem to be a lot for me :( I couldn't make e200tool work on linux, so can any help me to use linux?? Thanks.

Hey;
here's some help:
1. the libusb on Knoppix is another program, you ALSO must dowload libusb from the internet (version 0.1.12) install it by this commands:
one: sudo ./configure
two: sudo make
three: sudo make install

2.
After the installation was finished, you can download the e200 source files and compile them using "gcc -o e200tool e200tool.c -lusb".
You should use "sudo" when you execute the compiled file from the terminal.
for example:
sudo ./e200tool recover xxxxx.rom

to change the directory in Knoppix use cd /home/knoppix/Desktop/e200tool ....

I hope you understand...

Lue
