View source for Sansa e250 unbrick

Had to fight with my Sansa tonight and I thought it was bricked. 

Did some reading and fiddling, then I went over to Rockbox and read their steps on unbricking.  Result?  Worked right off the bat.

My short steps for reference:


# Turn the HOLD button ON
# Turn on the unit and hold RECORD until USB Recovery Mode starts
# Plug into USB
# Open the 16MB Drive (My computer)
# Copy the original firmware back to this drive
# Unplug from USB
# Turn the HOLD button OFF

Firmware (pp5022.mi4) can be found here:
