Title: Sansa Clip Zip crash loop
Post by: HolyRoller on January 11, 2020, 11:54:20 AM
My Clip Zip is suddenly crashing upon startup.  When powering up, it starts committing database, then I get the PANIC message when it gets to 3/9.  I do the power/menu restart but it keeps going back to that crash.  I tried plugging it into the PC to reinstall but it can't locate the mount.  I can't get into the menu to switch the USB mode and can't reboot into the stock firmware.  Anything else I can try?

Why can't you use the stock firmware?  Can you use the bootloader USB mode (hold select while turning on the player)?

I'm not sure why it isn't working.  I try holding select while powering up but it goes straight to initializing the database and crash.  Doesn't seem to want to boot into the stock FW.

What happened when you tried booting the OF?

On clip zip you enter OF by holding LEFT on D-Pad
