01:36:29superluig164I bricked my Walkman when trying to install the RockBox bootloader. The person who replied to my forum post asked me to come here for unbricking instructions, so here I am. They also said that it's impossible to brick a device that uses the ImxInstall method, which mine does. Can someone point me in the right direction?
01:37:28Bilgusdefine bricked
01:45:53superluig164Completely unresponsive, doesn't boot into anything when pressing any button including reset. It showed me a white screen after the upgrade. I also was not able to get the .rockbox folder on the storage either, as it disconnected as soon as I moved the bootloader over because of my stupid finicky USB cable.
01:46:03superluig164BRB will check replies in 10 minutes
01:53:43Bilguswell you will for sure need a good USB cable to do a recovery.
02:00
02:17:17superluig164I know how to make it work reliably. It's only because I was in bed. But if I am going to recover it I need to know how... Can you help?

04:40:50superluig164I have. It doesn't respond to anything. No buttons or anything work.. And it doesn't respond when plugged either. Bilgus
04:41:47Bilgusdo you have another usb cord that really needs to be eliminated from the list as a possible issue
04:42:19Bilgusso you tried holding power while plugging the usb and it did nothing?
04:42:44superluig164Well it's a proprietary Sony plug so all I've got is the one that came with it. However, before it stopped working, it managed to sit for 15 minutes copying 30 songs without issues
04:42:59superluig164Yes nothing happened
04:43:48Bilgusugh and its a NWZ-s540?
04:43:58superluig164The last time it was responding to anything was after the *.sb file was put on it, then it unplugged, showed the upgrade screen, then it went white for maybe 5 minutes and then stopped.
04:43:59superluig164Yep
04:44:06superluig164544 to be exact
04:44:37superluig164It could've just died, but it sat on the charger forEVER and nothing happened so...
04:47:34superluig164Welp so I just discovered it wasn't plugged in the charger properly. But I fixed it and still no response
04:47:50superluig164I'm going to try recovery mode again
04:50:46superluig164Yep, nothing... Tried Power/option, back, play/pause, nothing
04:53:59BilgusI'm sorry I'm not familiar with these players at all so hang tight
04:56:26Bilgusdid you try plug the USB cable, hold power and press the reset button while holding power for at least one or two seconds
04:57:05superluig164Yes, I held 'em for 10 seconds even
05:00
05:00:50Bilguskinda odd is your hold switch off?
05:03:06superluig164Yep
05:04:14superluig164Literally nothing happens, the computer doesn't even recognize an invalid device or anything. It's like it doesn't exist
05:05:28Bilguswell I think you'll have to wait for an expert I find it very odd that you can't get into recovery mode though
05:09:10Bilgussuperluig164, where did you get the bootloader?

05:12:39***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:26:16superluig164I used the bootloader from the NWZ-E360 available from the site. It says they share the same software, so if the software is exactly the same my thought process was that why shouldn't Rockbox be the same too.
05:26:33superluig164Does it have anything to do with not being able to get the .rockbox folder on there?
05:27:11 Quit krabador (Remote host closed the connection)
05:28:25Bilgusno the bootloader should bring up a usb mode
05:29:43superluig164It did, it brought up the "upgrade screen" (it just says "do not disconnect" as if I was moving music on it)
05:30:47superluig164After the upgrade, the screen went completely white, and stayed that way for a while. I tried replugging it and unplugging and reset and pressing buttons. I noticed that if I presser reset it would go black and then white again. At some point I pressed reset and it never came back on.

05:41:01saratogabut IIUC, in recovery mode the screen should be black but the usb pid should change
05:42:14superluig164Shiett guys, thank you for helping though, and yea my laptop doesn't make the little sound effect for plugging in a device when I try the recovery methods... Anywas thanks again. Hopefully someone will see this in the morning and be able to help

12:54:58Bilguswell he does have a point in that the wiki makes it 'almost' sound as if there is
12:57:32pamauryBilgus: the page does not say there is port
12:57:43pamauryit does not point to any rockbox bootloader (only the OF)
12:57:49pamaurythere are no install instructions
12:57:57BilgusApparently the same firmware is used for several players. The model is determined from two pins and/or the MMC. The following players are handled: E340, E360, E440, E440K?, S540, BB.
12:58:27BilgusOh I'm fully aware but I think he took that line as gospel
13:00
13:00:27*pamaury edits the wiki so that any gospel will say that there is no port
13:02:26pamauryI am sure a port would be feasible but the device is impossible to find at a reasonable price
13:05:26Bilgushey only $150 used
13:05:30Bilgus:p

16:20:53pamaurythen download https://www.dropbox.com/s/xd097zp35f86htk/NWZ-S540_extracted_fw_1.0.1.zip
16:20:53pamauryput then in the same directory. Open a command line prompt in that directory (google how to do that, it depends on your OS version)
16:20:53DBUGEnqueued KICK pamaury
16:20:53pamaurythen you need to put your device in recovery mode. The simplest way is you plug your device to the computer, hold the power button, hit the reset button while still holding the power button and keep holding for a few seconds. The screen should stay black but your device be recognized by the computer as a HID device (Sigmatel Recovery)

16:21:58superluig164I am on Windows, so I should launch the .exe in the command line?
16:22:18pamaurythen in the command prompt, type:
16:22:18pamaurysb_loader.exe -f firmware.sb
16:22:18pamaury(where firmware.sb is the file is the file you need to extract from https://www.dropbox.com/s/xd097zp35f86htk/NWZ-S540_extracted_fw_1.0.1.zip)
16:22:49pamauryif it works, the original firmware should boot and start USB mode. At this point, you have not yet reflashed the firmware, but that's a first step
16:23:04superluig164Okay, will try and update you here
16:24:59superluig164Just a quick clarification. Download the program and the zip. Extract contents of zip to same folder as program. Launch cmd. Enter that command after putting the Walkman in recovery mode. Should show USB screen. Correct?
16:25:38pamauryyes
16:26:10pamaury(note: I am guess the firmware in the zip is called firmware.sb, but maybe it's something else like fw.sb, then update the command line accordingly)

16:46:53superluig164Still downloading...
16:47:52pamauryif you get the usb screen, window should detect it as a mass storage device. Then put fw.sb at on it, rename it to firmware.sb, eject and unplug usb. If you are lucky enough, it should perform a firmware upgrade and the device will recovered

20:24:27lebellium-_-
20:24:58superluig164Bilgus_ph: I knew you could do it through guest additions but not that you needed to delete the driver from Device Manager. I hadn't a chance to try it yet, but I'll be sure to do that now.
20:27:09pamauryBilgus: I see that Windows amkes it very simple, as usual ;)

20:28:10Bilgus_phYou can sometimes get away with just ejecting it from windows but uninstalling is more reliable

22:22:23Bilgussorry thats Vendor ID not Device ID if you look in device mgr do properties and Hardware IDs itll be USB\VID_xxx<−−- then probably PID but you usually don't need it unless you have multiple devices with that VID
22:23:14Bilgusso in the VBOX filter you will enter that xxxx number for vendor ID
