• 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!

  BTW I've never synced with iTunes on my computer.

• Disabled IPad can be reset using the recovery mode

  Someone with a good it knowledge doctored iPad without permission and now it can be reset using the recovery mode. While that plugged into iTunes, software downloads, iPad, then displays the Apple symbol but then returns the message "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes".

  Hi stephen158,

  I understand that, in the process of restoration of an iPad in recovery mode, your iPad rebooted and returns to the screen "connect to iTunes". This can occur if the software download takes longer than 15 minutes, how the iPad will exit Recovery mode and the software will continue to download. In this case, you should be able to put the iPad in recovery mode and choose to restore the device when prompted.

  1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend or go to an Apple Store or service provider authorized Apple for help.
  2. When your device is connected, force restart it: press and hold the sleep/wake and home for at least 10 seconds, and only release when you see the Apple logo. Keep until you see the screen in recovery mode now.
     
  3. When you see the option restore or update, choose update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Please wait while iTunes downloaded the software for your device.
     If the download takes more than 15 minutes the device out of recovery mode, you must repeat these steps and choose restore instead of update when you return to this step.
     
  4. After the update or restore is complete, configure your device. If you have backed up your device with iTunes or iCloud and you need to restore your device in step 3, you may be able to restore from your backup during installation.

• 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...

• Sansa e260 MSC mode does not show my files

  I never have problems with my player sansa until today. I just updated the firmware and now MSC mode does not work correctly. None of my files on the Sansa e260 player appear, do just the default values. However, everything is there when I go through my sansa player, but he does not appear in the player. No clue as to how I can solve this problem, so that the files that I have in my sansa player appear in the disc again? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  The music on the e200 series folder is "hidden". Maybe that is. Change the settings in Windows to "show the hidden files and folders" and see if that helps.

• E260 v2 won't start - necessary recovery mode

  My e260 v2 won't start.  After the logo screen, it says not "enough space for music DB.  Please free 90 MB' and stops quickly.  When I connect it to the computer, the computer recognizes it, but it does not appear in the Explorer.  Indeed, the Explorer crashes if the Sansa is connected.  Windows Media Player does not recognize it no more.

  After reading this forum and other sources online, I thought that the solution to my problem was to go into recovery mode and reformatting.  However, it will not be in recovery mode.  After reading a bit more, I learned that models v2 is not recovery mode, but I have not found anyone mention what to do instead.  So, how can I reset my Sansa to the factory settings?

  The "not enough space" error is most often related to a file corruption.  You will need to manually connect in MSC mode.  Step 1 of the solution includes details on that for you.

  Voila!  It's pretty simple.

• 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.

• iPad iOS 3 9.3 update failed and now stuck in recovery mode

  Hello

Unfortunately, the update process is stuck with the message "Waiting for iPad ' for 30 minutes. After that I disconnected the iPad I'm not able to recover from the iPad. I can put in restore mode.

• Sansa e260 not recognized by Windows Media Player in MSC mode

  Hello

  I have a problem. When I connect my Sansa e260 in my PC, Windows Media Player 12 will not recognize it. I can still see it in the computer, including the Micro SD card. When it's in MTP mode I can see it in WMP, but I don't see that micro SD. thing is I want to download some new songs on the Micro SD card that I can't see. I don't know if I can download songs on the player itself, because I don't have any space left there and I dare not remove anything where I won't be able to download stuff on him. I'm running on Windows 7. This problem occurred during the night. I change not all components, nor that I have installed all new programs. I also tried different USB ports, firmware reinstallation, trying even Rockbox.

  That's about all. Any idea is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Set mode MSC, where the map stands as a separate disk. (MTP mode is for control via WMPlayer or Media Monkey).

• Windows can't talk my Sansa e260.

  I think I'm in a bit of hot water. A day or two ago, I plugged my sansa in this computer. Windows 7 says that he was installing the device. Which is strange because I used it on this computer before. He said that he could not install the device. So I say to myself that there must be a problem with the sansa. I take my laptop and try there. I am able to copy all the data out of it and then go to "my computer", right click the icon it and click on format. I'm done in the past with no problems. I do not pick quick format because I was to make you that he is not the bad sectors. At the end he says that he cannot complete the format. Now when I plug it into a windows computer, two icons of generic player appear in 'my computer' (usually as "J:" and "I:"). When I try to click on them it just says "Please insert a disk" or something. Even with Ubuntu, the icons do nothing.

  I try to do a reset system enters the reader, but which does nothing. When the player is turned on, it is said to free at least 6 MB. Which is funny because I checked and there is no songs, recordings or anything like that. It was all wiped out in formatting.

  On the information screen it says:

  Version 01.01.11A

  Memory 0 MB

  Free 0 MB

  Songs 0

  Voice recordings 0

  Records FM 0

  I changed MTP Meteorological Service of the Canada (or perhaps vice versa) and windows 7 would then call him by his name (as "San Disk Sansa e260" instead of just "unknown device") on the small installation dialog box. Which is encouraging. But of course, the problem persists.

  So did affect my player forever? Is there some sort of reset major I can do full?

  Thank you!!

  Looks like the unit is in communication, according to your description.  Mode MSC, it will appear as two logical drives, the internal memory is the first and the microSD card post as the second.  In MTP mode, it will be as a device ID so that access you it through Windows Explorer.

  You have a Windows 7 platform to work with, you can put the device in MSC mode and check the volume for errors.  This can be found via the option Manage in my computer, or by using the chkdsk command line utility in Windows.

  01.01.11 version is the oldest e200 firmware.  Perhaps, you could install the latest firmware, version 24 here.  I would try using Recovery Mode, you can also format the device using the internal format of the units.

  Since you talk about Ubuntu, I can assume that you are at least somewhat competent to tinker.  The only case where the device may be zorched is if the reserved partition is formatted in Recovery Mode, then Ubuntu is the tool of choice, using e200tool.

  To retrieve the device, shart with it off and slide the HOLD switch on the e200 to right (orange list).  Press in and hold the REC button of the side laft in the connection (or log in recovery mode to turn on the unit with the REC button still depressed, then connect).

  A word of warning!  The device using Windows Explorer, you'll see a new icon, 16 MB FORMAT.  Do NOT attempt to format the partition using the command Format Windows, because it clears the critical data!

  Double-click the 16 MB FORMAT icon to open the reserved partition.

  Since the thread that I linked above, download the two files and unzip them.  Place these two files in the open window, the pp5022.mi4 and BL_SD.rom and add a new twist: right click and select new folder. Rename this folder sansa.fmt and leave this empty file along side the two firmware files.

  Replace the left hold switch and unplug.  Your e200 will update and reformat in one step.

  If all else fails, time for some Potatoes.  Your machine NAND flash module is on a daughter card.  It can unplug it!  Remove the back cover and look at the top, a raised rectangle.  In this context, you will see a gray foam block.  Give him a gentle push down to reinstall the connector on the circuit board.

• bricked sansa e260: do not format (or do something else besides)!

  First of all, I want to apologize to ask you this question often, but I assure you, that my problem is a little different from the others.

  In short, I am able to get into recovery mode, access to 16 MB-FORMAT drive in Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 and sansa.fmt dough, rom and mi4 files; but in both places, I'm not able to do format, nor commit the bootloader or the firmware on the drive NAND.

  How it happened: in other words, the recovery of 16 MB drive has been formatted. When the computer reboots, there has been a "Load main image failed. Switch to recovery mode.

  That the player is able to do now:
  In normal mode, the player starts with the startup splash screen, followed of the message.

  Cannot load the main image.
  Switch to recovery mode

  The player is not automatically in recovery mode, I have to do it manually, using the combo PowerOn-REC-HOLD.

  In recovery mode, when the usb cable is connected, I get the following message

  **********************
  Welcome to Recovery Mode
  **********************

  USB cable connected
  Enter USB2.0 MSD mode

  Now, windows and linux, the recovery of load automatically drive and let me paste the files here.
  One thing to note, is that the recovery drive, always seems to be a corrupt VERSION. TXT file.
  Every time I got paste all the files (like sansa.fmt) and disassemble the drive. I get the following message:

  Safe to unplug the USB
  Leave the USB 2.0 MSD mode

  After I unplug the usb cable and the drive is simply stuck in this mode forever, until I have hold the power button for 15 seconds to close. When the computer reboots, I'm back to the same old problem. NO CHANGE.

  In production mode, I am successfully able to use the e200tool for all functions, including the order of i2cprogram (with which I flashed the rom i2c to i2c - e260.bin file without hassle). I am also able to inject the Bootloaders in the RAM by using the recover command.

  Methods I tried to solve this problem :

  • In recovery mode, I tried to install the firmware (mi4) alone, sansa.fmt only, firmware and BL (rom file) and finally the three files together (I have always used the firmware and BL of the same version). Everything I try, the result is the same, the player is blocked (see photo) always recovery mode screen. I waited a few hours, before you close and restart, but still no change.
  • In production mode, I connect the player to linux via the USB port, the drive is detected correctly. I then use the e200tool to recover the corrupt Bootloader. Once the performance begins, I touch REC, which starts the drive in recovery mode, I paste it sansa.fmt on the 16 MB drive. Unplug the cable USB and just wait and wait and wait... NO message on the screen.
    (I tried all versions of firmware 10, 1.00.12 to 1.03.07, found here)
  • I searched through them two and abi forums, looking for a solution and we tried all those. Please do tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

    If there is no easy solution for this, I'm even willing to do some so low levels of piracy, possibly, to access the NAND drive somehow using the e200tool and, possibly, to directly write the entire score of 20 MB hidden on the NAND drive. If anyone can guide me with this. It would be more useful.

    Please feel free to ask me questions to clarify or specify what anyone, that I mentioned above.

• Sansa e260: screen goes blank

  I have a Sansa e260 for about 3 months now, and it has recently stopped working.

  Here is what happened; After I finished putting the music in it, I unplugged the computer, and she has refreshed the database, as always. Only this time, the screen is blank after you refresh the database. If I pressed the power button for a few seconds, it turns off, and when I turn the back refresh the database and then shuts down.

  I tried to connect to my computer so I can format it and see if that helps, but my computer can't detect it. Instead when I plug it in, it turns on, refreshes the database and then shuts down.

  Can someone help me or point me in the right direction?

  If you have a model v1, you can try the fix recovery mode as described in section #10 message in this thread.
