http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33373 This did help me a lot, because the problem was in the daughterboard. I do not know how, but it was disconnected from the mainboard, thus, I now understand, why the player saw only a 1/2 of the memory, or why the 16MB part reformatting did not help... Thank you one more time.

You formatted the 16MB recovery drive? In that case, good luck in getting your player back to a working state...

Not really !!!
Even if you have formatted your recovery drive, and the player is not getting updated (or formatted using sansa.fmt), it can still be recovered. I will be posting soon about what one needs to do !!! Please bear with me for a little while more :)
Bagder:
The unbrick wiki page explains how to get back, use the manufacture mode and e200tool.
virtuoso015:
Yes, that is true , but in some cases, like mine(http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=18197.0) , no method worked. So, i have extended e200tool to include nandread and nandwrite commands which read and write sectors directly from the disk. This way i was able to burn the whole 20MB hidden partition dump onto the NAND disk and get the player working again :)

I would call that in one case. I've worked with Rockbox on the e200v1 probably longer than most others and as far as I know you are the first and only one who has needed that procedure!
This said, I'm of course interested in getting your e200tool changes as a diff so that others can enjoy them!
