e200tool: Nothing after "Execution started"...

[Romain49]

Hello,
Here's my problem with e200tool:
I use it with Linux (If you know how I can make it work with Windows I would be happy because I'm not a Linux fan!). All is right until this sentence:
Execution started.
I show you what I do:

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo /home/ubuntu/Desktop/e200tool recover /home/ubuntu/Desktop/BL_SD_boardSupportSD.rom
e200tool v0.2.3-alpha (c) by MrH 2006, 2007

I should see the Sandisk logo on my Sansa's screen. But there is nothing. He is black and the srollweel is on yet. Moreover, I should have a 16MB device, but I don't have it.
Do you know what I should do to access to the recovery mode? I really don't know what to do! Did I miss something?
Thank you!

did u tried to press the menu button for 20 sec. and than recovery mode?

[Romain49]

Hem... I can try but I think it just will shut off my player... I should have a 16MB device...
Must I do it holding rec. button?

[A.z]

do the hard boot (20 sec pof pressing on the menu button) and than try recovery mode.

[Romain49]

Yes ok, I've tried... But it's the same.
Even if I hold the rec. button, when I restart, I've nothing on the screen, just the blue scrollweel.
I don't know what I can do to access to this recovery mode.

[A.z]

put the sansa on hold and than hold the rec button and turn your sansa on and dont leave the rec button 'till u see: ***Welcome To Recovery Mode**....

Something's wrong with his bootloader (he mentioned there's nothing on the screen, normally it'd say key locked or would go to the OF)

It seems that either there's a problem with e200tool or your Sansa is mostly bricked, as it isn't accepting the bootloader.

Also, what kind of Sansa do you have?

Hello!
I will explain you what I did to be in this situation, you'll may able to say if it's possible to repear it with e200tool:
I would put the Multiple Theme Switcher by digerati1338.
But I didn't put any other firmware (called F0 for exemple) and when I would start it wasn't possible, I had a black screen with sentences which said the bootloader couldn't find F0.mi4 for example.
So, it was my first error.
Then, I went to the recovery mode. Yes I was able to go to the recovery mode... and I put the PP5022.mi4 but without the bootloader. (I've forgotten to precise my sansa was completly blocked when it said "reading....." and "writing...." -I don't exactly remember what it said but you must know!-, so I have shuted off my player holding menu button.)
Second and fatal error!!
So, now I can't access to the firmware because I don't have the bootloader (it's what I understand!).

I have a e260, which original firmware was: 1.02.18F and I changed it to the 1.02.18A because I didn't find the previous one to make themes.

So, I don't know if you can help me, but I really really hope! Because I've this problem since tuesday... I would like to repear it quickly!!

Another time, thank you for your help!
