Sansa e200 ReverseBL

Reverse Bootloader

I built a reverse bootloader that will boot the original firmware by default and boot Rockbox if you hold the select key. This is backwards from the default Rockbox bootloader. It is tested and functional on an actual Sansa e260. You can download it below.

Installation

Download the ReverseBL below. Save to Desktop.
Download sansapatcher. Save to Desktop.
Get a terminal. This is done by going to Start->Run and typing "cmd".
Go to your desktop in the terminal. "cd Desktop" does this.
Run "sansapatcher.exe -a ReverseBL<date>.mi4" in the terminal.
Reboot your player to update the bootloader.

e200R Installation

This is provided for you because it should work; I don't have an e200 so I can't test it.
Follow the instructions at SansaE200RInstallation, but when it tells you to put pp5022.mi4 on the root of your player, replace that with my bootloader mi4. You still need to rename it to pp5022.mi4.
