Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode
Bagder:
I think you want the 'recover' command.
afshin3k3:
I'm not sure wich command i have to use,
For using "recover" command I have to recover i2c.bin or BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom or any other file?

Since you're using manufacturing mode, and the recover command implies it, you should use the bootloader. The .rom file.

hey party people.. I have a similar problem.
i formatted the 16mb partition in recovery mode then drag and dropped a bin file onto the drive letter, since then, when ever the device turns on, there is only a blue light circle and nothing on the screen.
following the advice is this forum, I got e200tools ruunning in fedora 5. if i hold down the center button, connect via usb, I beleive I am in manufacturing mode. Once in manufacturing mode, here is the output of my terminal window:
[root@smtp e200]# ./e200tool recover BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
e200tool v0.0.6-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007

[root@smtp e200]#
does this appear correct? after this if i unplug the usb cable, it resets and gives me an error saying device is key locked since hold is still on, if i remove hold black screen and blue light. my other option is to hold down rec while linux is writing the file, and I reboot into recovery mode, once im there I see the 16gb partition, i tried copying various files here but none of them seem to work.
After this happens the only way I can get into recovery mode is to go into manufacturing mode, use e200tools, hold down record as it recovers then I can boot into it...
I tried using e200tools on 2 windows machines so I could use the sandisk updater, but only the os detects the device not the e200 app..
Im staring at this 16mb partition now.. any ideas?
