Third Party > Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players
Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode
tarant:
My problem is completely different: I have installed rockbox on my player and i tried to restore the player with its old firmware.
I can go in recovery mode. But every firmware I load then (also the 1.02.15E what was before) don't work properly. It always crashes (the display freezes and the player reboots) when I choose the usb mode or when I try to play a track etc. Some times (some firmwares) the player is able to connect via MTP mode to the computer.
What can I do that the player works like before. Shall I flush the flash with a random.bin file to go to the manufactoring mode? ;D
Sorry, but I haven't a better idea yet. :'(

I did some more investigation work.
Before I run the script I see the device as this via 'lsusb'
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0b70:0003 PortalPlayer, Inc.
'lsusb' gives the following after the script:
Bus 005 Device 008: ID 6666:e200 Prototype product Vendor ID
There is also a change in the device when I run cat /proc/bus/usb/device
Before script:
Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 11 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0b70 ProdID=0003 Rev= 0.00
S: Manufacturer=PortalPlayer
S: Product=Tango Digital Media Platform
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 32mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
After script:
T: Bus=05 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=6666 ProdID=e200 Rev= 0.01
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr=500mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
I feel I'm making progress but that could be an illusion. There is still no mounting of the 16mb partition.

I've still not seen you try the i2c bootrom recovery, did I miss that?
travisty:
I followed the directions on this page.
http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/e200.html#usbmodes
but my device doesn't show up as anything usefull in dmesg.
[17185705.428000] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 29
[17185705.596000] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
So I do not know how I can do the i2c recovery if I can't mount the device.
Bagder:
I can see how this thread will never end.
The I2C rom recovery procedure howto is described on this page:
