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:


  1. Turn the HOLD button ON
  2. Turn on the unit and hold RECORD until USB Recovery Mode starts
  3. Plug into USB
  4. Open the 16MB Drive (My computer)
  5. Copy the original firmware back to this drive
  6. Unplug from USB
  7. Turn the HOLD button OFF

Firmware (pp5022.mi4) can be found here:
