Cannot format or recovery mode

I have an e260. It starts up (irregularly) - shows the Sandisk logo and the blue sansa underneath and goes out. I know it's in MTP mode.  I took out the battery and tried almost all of the combinations of connection.  I followed the instructions to put it in format mode but the unit does not in this mode at all.  Sometimes it shows me 'sign in' and can stay that way for hours.

Are you sure it is a v1 model? V2 is not a recovery mode.

BTW, what exactly you 'advertise' here? This is the ads on board, after all. You'll be better off trust the Council of Sansa e200 series .

Voila!  Moved to the e200 forum.  -µ

  • Cannot restart into recovery mode

    Q: unable to reboot in recovery mode

    Hello!

    My Mac mini (late 2009), Mac OS x 10.11.6 (El Capitan) is:

    (a) is NOT encrypted with FileVault 2 and

    (b) is NOT protected by a password of the firmware.

    (c) new facility in the Apple Store.

    My problem: I can't reboot into recovery mode! I'm out of the country.

    Using CMD - R or a normal reboot takes me to a screen with a single user: my orginal admin account and does not show a log in window with all users.

    Restart that holding down while the Option key displayed in the Boot Manager only my internal drives defined as Raid mirror.

    What else can I do to be able to reboot into recovery mode?

    Thank you!

    If it only gives you the possibility of a connection to reboot, sounds of course like FileVault.

    However, he should still go to recovery.

    If you are on a wireless keyboard, hold cmd - r as soon as you hear the startup tone, not before?

    The Boot Manager does not show the recovery partition if you have a CoreStorage configuration (which happens with FileVault). I don't know how RAID affects FileVault or recovery.

  • Recovery mode v 1.03?

    Probably screwed up my player on...

    This all started when my player is stuck on 'updating of the database' screen. (still don't know which file was, but I guess I will deal with that later).

    Anyway Ive spent the day of formatting and setting a mode of recovery and others - firmware update which took time to understand. Well, I actually had the player to work again at some point in there, but when I downloaded the songs, titles show no spaces in the names of the song. I realized that it was probably an old version of firmware and stupidly decided that I should try to get as many firmware updates before you load any music more.

    Well, somewhere along the line I think I'm done with the firmware for V2 (and I'm pretty sure that my version is a V1). So now that I have the firmware 1,0301 G V2 works... only problem is MSC mode no longer works because my computer has this problem where it cannot recognize the new hardware and update apparently does think it as new hardware. So I thought that "ok, bad downgrade to the old version using recovery mode» Nope... Good recovery mode does not work in v 1.03 equally apparently, or maybe it's just because I mixed versions...

    Anyone know if there is something to do? / any way to get in recovery mode now?

    EDIT: this is a player e270

    You have the Lil' Monsta splash screen?  I would like to replace the firmware with the standard firmware from 1.02.18 or 1.02.24.

    There is a little problem, however, the files must be renamed in order overwrute the beta firmware.

    Check out this last post.

    Note that the beta firmware is a buggy Monster.  Too bad, because I love the lil' monsta screen...

  • I'm a fool - recovery mode. Tried the sansa.fmt folder, but does not work... Help, please!

    My buddy gave me his sansa used for a Christmas gift.  I loved.  They when I delete his old songs that I deleted the other folders on it as well (pictures, records, etc.)  basically everything except the music files.  Now, when I turn it on, it says "cannot load the main image.  switch to recovery mode.  I browsed the forums and tried to make the sansa.fmt folder (it formatted) but still does not work.  I can't find the stuff I deleted from the Recycle Bin.

    Thank you in advance and happy holidays.

    It's Christmas time.  Santa has something cool in his bag, I'm sure.  We will first check the device to version 1.

    When he started upward, you saw just the SanDisk logo with sunburst on the splash screen?  I just want to be sure that your e200 is not a Rhapsody Sansa, because this version has different firmware.  R has a Rhapsody splash screen after the initial one.

    You've seen how to connect in Recovery Mode, Yes?  Start with the e200 decommissioned.  Slide the HOLD switch to the right (orange showing) and hold the button depressed all REC by plugging into the USB port.  It is the easiest method of recovery mode.

    Alternatively, you can start the Recovery Mode if the REC button is held, and the power-menu button is tapped too. In both cases, welcome to the Recovery Mode is displayed.  Either incidentally, the MSD acronym on the screen refers to the "Mass Storage Device", as in MSC mode.

    A few words of caution before going any further.  Recovery mode opens the reserved partitionof the device.  Critical data are stored here.  Do NOT use the Windows format command when this partition is opened, or you will erase these critical data! Only use the sansa.fmt folder trick to tell the e200 himself format automatically.

    Download and Unzip the TWO files of firmware for your Sansa e200v1 here.  It is the 01.02.24, the final version.  Just click on the version you want for your region.  The Sansa Updater link isn't what you need.

    The two files, after him have unzipped, are pp5022.mi4 and BL_SD... ROM (mental block on the name at the moment).

    When you connect the e200 and open a window of Windows Explorer (my computer / computer), you will see a new icon, 16 MB FORMAT.  Double-click this to open reserved partition.  Do not touch the file version.txt in there and don't TRY to use the Windows Format command that appears with a right-click, bad juju.

    Let's go Happy window. Drag the first window to a convenient size, and the other with your firmware files can be placed on the desktop.  Now for the magic!  Simply drag and drop these two firmware files on in the open window that represents the reserved partition.  Cool huh?  Easier to make the ratio of rum and eggnog just right.

    Now, if there are a bunch of gibberish stored on the device, and you want to start with a clean slate, you can tell the e200 to format the primary partition (where music, videos and photos are) automatically.  Click right while in the 16MB FORMAT box and select new folder.  RENAME it sansa.fmtfolder and the Sansa will follow this command after installing the firmware.

    Go to the task bar at the bottom of the screen and click the command remove device or eject the disc.  Again, WIndows like formatting of devices, it of eject you want, do not fit!

    Unplug, and restore your e200!  Slide the HOLD switch to the left.

    Let me know how it goes, since the Bobster has other tricks in the bag.  This one should do the trick.

    Oh, I forgot.  You're not a fool.

  • My iPhone 5 c is stuck in recovery mode

    I have updated to iOS 2 10 days ago, and today I was listening to music on my phone, when all of a sudden it turned off and the Apple logo came. I thought that if I waited a few minutes, it will restart but it didn't. I then tried to reload, but still he wouldn't do anything. I looked on the internet what to do and did exactly as he told me: I have it plugged into my laptop with a port USB. I pressed the lock and the "home" button and then release the lock. iTunes came on my computer screen laptop and said he found my device in recovery mode. I tried to restore it had worked and my phone had turned his back I started setting up and after connecting to WiFi he started to connect to iTunes. I don't know what happened after that, as long as my phone is turned off suddenly. I went through the process of restoring it again, to see what it kept disconnecting after the software update. I tried several times but the Apple logo keeps appearing on screen and nothing happens.

  • IMac G5 will not load into recovery mode

    I have a 2005/2006 IMac G5. I started it yesterday, after a few years in the area. He started well, so I ran the updates. After the system shuts down, it has not restarted. When I turn it on it come to la? and file screen. I tried both Internet recovery mode and recovery mode, but it ends finally in the? and file screen, the screens of recovery mode to jump. I have an external hard drive with time machine back ups. When I restart with the hard drive attached and hold down option, a screen with a return of arrows and an arrow appears, but no hard drive does not appear above them. Any help is appreciated

    There is no recovery or recovery Internet in Mac G5. You can install the system is Leopard (10.5) and this can be done from the installation discs. The system initially installed a Tiger (1.04), once again, the only installable from installation discs. Either type of installation disc can be started from to perform an audit on the hard disk in disk utility. You cannot start from the Time Machine disk because it does not contain an operating system.

    Your first step is to boot from the floppy to install for any system you have installed - insert the floppy disk, and then restart holding + command + c. When it is loaded (which will take some time) go to the Utilities menu and choose disk utility: run the ERD. If it is able to correct any errors, you should then try to install from the disc.

  • Updated my iPad off in recovery mode, now I can't restore

    I turned off my computer so I connected to iTunes. He gave me the warning saying that it cannot connect to it until I unlock it, but of course, I just forgot my password (and I remember now but it's too late). Then I put in recovery mode and update. After the update that it started at a black screen saying "iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes," but the thing is that I can not. Whenever I have connect my computer, iTunes gives me just the normal warning of him being disabled, but nothing else. He brings me to the screen where it asks me to put up-to-date or to recover more. What can I do? Thank you!
