Sansa E200 Bricked by Recovery Mode
Brambo:
Can someone please give me a simple description on HOW-TO run e200tool on linux? My pc just can't find my bricked sansa on windows... (see my post above)
Lue:
thanks to Avba0 who gave me this description:
"
Well, I'll tell you what exactly to do in order to compile the tool (using Ubunto linux)...
1)
Get ubuntu 6.10 from here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/pro...how&redirect=download
From your preferred mirror, download this file: "ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso"
2)
Burn the CD and Boot from it (choose Start or Install)
3)
Connect to the Internet - if you have a router then it shouldn't be a problem (System/Administration/Networking)
4)
Run the package manager from here: System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager.
Mark the "build-essential" package from the Development section (it might require installing several other packages) and the "libusb-dev" package (this is not a driver, the driver should be already installed) from the Libraries-Development section (libusb++-dev is not required), and then apply the changes.
5)
After the installation was finished, you can download the source files and the makefile 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
That is how it is being done under the Ubuntu distribution.
It's should be similar in the other distributions, especially on debian based systems."
I tried it with Xubuntu, but there's the only problem that I don't know how to change the directory for the "gcc -o e200tool e200tool.c -lusb". command.
Thanks, Lue

Thanks for that walkthrough, unfortunately, I can't get the Ubuntu Live CD to work on any of my computers. One of them is because it has an Nvidia 8800 GTS, the other because the wireless network card, while detected, refuses to accept the connection.

Okay, got Ubuntu started, was able to run the recover, I tried both the c200 and e200 roms. It acted like it was successful and the screen on my player came on and told me the update was complete and it was safe to disconnect. After disconnecting however, my player still doesn't work... Any ideas?
Bagder:
1. use the .rom that is for your model
2. did you do the i2c bootrom recovery procedure?
