#rockbox log for 2019-09-30

00:00:17_Bilgusso when you powered on it was just a black screen?
00:00:39sizzlincokJust nothing. Press the power button. Nothing.
00:00:50sizzlincokIt "was" working last night. I haven't done any copying or anything.
00:01:16_BilgusI wonder if your player is a v1 clip+ or something weird I bet its just the wrong fw
00:01:30sizzlincokWould boot rockbox, but It was just very very buggy, with lockups etc. Sometimes also wouldn't boot like now. But eventually it did when the battery ran down.
00:01:48_Bilgusno big deal leave it in recovery for a min let me see if I can find the fw
00:01:52sizzlincokIt MAY be? Perhaps the 2G versions were different.
00:02:58_Bilgusno they show indeed a 2gb version on the sansa website and the same fw
00:04:32_Bilgusdid sudo fdisk-l tell you Disk /dev/sdc doesn't have a valid partition table?
00:05:04sizzlincokYeah. It just shows jsut the disk size.
00:05:17_Bilgusit sounds right!
00:05:57sizzlincokI'm gonna desolder the battery and resolder it to make sure it completely powers off.
00:08:56_Bilgusstranger thing have happened if not i'd probably wipe the firmware area and start over
00:09:49_Bilgusitd go like this
00:10:57_Bilgusdd of=/dev/sdc if=/dev/zero count=$((0xF000))
00:12:23 Quit ZincAlloy (Quit: Leaving.)
00:12:29_Bilgusand do make sure the device is still on sdc
00:21:01sizzlincokI resoldered the battery and got it to boot rockbox, but it froze shortly after a panic with some ATA code.
00:21:59_Bilguswell then thats a good sign
00:22:29_Bilguswhat boot loader did you copy over?
00:22:30sizzlincokJust wiped the firmware and writing back the bin.
00:22:41sizzlincokThe clppa.bin the original I got from the website.
00:22:59_Bilgusah ok before you do a restart
00:23:14_Bilguslets copy the bootloader with the sd boot stuff in it
00:23:32_Bilgusthen we can do this without recovery mode
00:23:42sizzlincokCan we?
00:24:16_Bilgusyes :D
00:24:25_Bilgushttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51844.0.html
00:24:39_Bilgusgo here and grab the bootloader and the multiboot fw
00:25:15_Bilgushere is the bootloader link
00:25:19_Bilgushttp://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51844.0.html
00:25:24_Bilgusbah
00:25:35_Bilgushttp://www.mediafire.com/file/qmnqn7g0uu03mo2/clppa_MBOOT.zip/file
00:25:48_Bilgusso that'll be the one you dd to the drive
00:26:01_Bilgusthe fw one you will copy to your sdcard
00:26:18_Bilgusone last file too let me find it
00:26:55_Bilgusalso copy this to the root of the sd card http://www.mediafire.com/file/22qambpikz4ega2/ClipPlus_rockbox_RECOVERY.sansa/file
00:27:40_Bilgusand last thing is to make a file called rockbox_main.clip+
00:27:56_Bilgusopen it put a single / save and exit
00:28:06_Bilgus'/' no quotes
00:30:08_Bilgusso now when you boot it will boot from the sdcard bypassing the internal storage
00:30:47_Bilgusyou will then use the filebrowser to run the Plus_rockbox_RECOVERY file
00:30:55_Bilgusthen plug the USB
00:31:30_Bilgusand now when you do fdisk-l it should be the recovery mode
00:31:54_Bilgusbut it'll be a ~2gb raw disk
00:35:12_Bilgusoh come to think of it we shouldn't have to boot into recovery mode again
00:35:35_Bilgusyou should be able to just boot from the sdcard plug the usb and rewrite the drive
00:35:52_Bilgusmkfs.msdos -I -F 32 /dev/sd?
00:35:56sizzlincokJust had to boot recovery. Wouldn't recognize anything without it. So I'm dd-ing the multiboot fw.
00:36:23sizzlincokIt still doesn't turn on though.
00:36:32_Bilgusthe multiboot fw is the best way to go because it gives you a way back
00:37:13_Bilgusyou'll probably have to undo the battery again or hold the power button for 30 seconds
00:37:39_BilgusIve seen the clip+ hang for that long maybe even up to the 60 second mark
00:38:11sizzlincokUsually writing the clppa fw back in... just works right?
00:38:47_BilgusI wouldnt boot into the OF if the drive isn't quite right
00:39:06_Bilgusbut yes it usually works right after a power cycle
00:39:48_Bilguson the panic though it goes into an endless loop so its not all that surprising if it were stuck
00:41:19_Bilgusthat being said its been nearly two years since I did this when I tested all of this
00:42:10 Quit scorche (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
00:43:51sizzlincokStill nothing.
00:44:04sizzlincokI even changed the battery with another dead clip+ just now.
00:44:34_Bilgusdid you verify the file copied properly again?
00:45:09_BilgusI know our bootloader has support for the v1 and v2 clip+

00:48:57_BilgusI bet it has a block thats bad somewhere in the flash
00:57:02sizzlincokThe cksum is different from the very original dump.
00:57:15sizzlincokAftercopying the mboot fw
00:57:43_Bilguswell yeah they are different files
00:58:53_Bilgusdo a chksum on clppa_new.bin from clppl_MBOOT.zip
00:59:26_Bilgusand do cksum on what you just dumped using dd
00:59:37_Bilgusthey should be the same
00:59:46sizzlincokYes. Same.
00:59:56_Bilgusthen it should boot
01:00
01:00:05sizzlincokRight???
01:00:20sizzlincokI haven't done anything wrong. (I believe lol)
01:00:38sizzlincokI just push the power button and nothing.
01:01:04_Bilgusand you de-soldered the battery?
01:02:13_Bilgusyou might try ejecting the sdcard and leave the battery disconnected and plug the usb
01:02:26_Bilgusit'll bootloop but it should turn on
01:02:52sizzlincokYes,
01:03:04sizzlincokI've tried that too.
01:03:07sizzlincokIt never turns on.
01:03:19sizzlincokI would get that random turn on, as I explained to you above.
01:03:47_BilgusI wonder if your power button has an issue
01:03:50sizzlincokBut then I did dd with all zeros and wrote the new fw back in as you've instructed.
01:04:13sizzlincokI don't think so. It "used" to be okay playing music, until I noticed the freezing and such.
01:05:44_Bilgusgenerally that means the flash is on its way out but still it should try and turn on if the fw is right
01:06:24_Bilguslast thing you might try is grabbing that 4gb image that I posted above and copy it to the device
01:07:03_Bilgusthing is it will leave you with a corrupted internal drive but if you can boot then you can reformat it
01:07:14_Bilgusmkfs.msdos -I -F 32 /dev/sdc
01:07:29_Bilgusjust don't do that in recovery mode
01:09:03_Bilguscorrupted internal drive bc yours is 2gb not 4 so it'll fall off the end of the world...
01:09:24_Bilgusbut once you reformat all should be well
01:10:33_Bilgusthe other last last thing i'd try is write all zeros again verify it is indeed all zeros and try moving the fw up in the firmware area
01:11:15sizzlincokHow would I do that?
01:12:21_BilgusI can't tell you where without seeing a corrupted dump
01:12:54_Bilgusdd of=/dev/sdc if="clippa.bin" bs=512 skip=$((0x0)) seek=$((0x0))
01:14:06_Bilgusdd of=/dev/sdc if="clippa.bin" bs=512 seek=$((0x0))
01:14:19_Bilgusand its in 512 byte blocks
01:15:23_Bilgusso 8 mb would be 16 or in hex 0x10
01:15:54_Bilgusno that doesn't sound right
01:16:35_Bilgusah magnitude error
01:16:46_Bilgus8 mb * 1024 * 1024
01:20:35_Bilgus #/ 512 = 16384 in hex would be 0x4000

01:20:52 Join scorche [0] (~scorche@rockbox/administrator/scorche)
01:21:02_Bilgusso if you wanted to write it to the second part it'd be
01:21:10_Bilgusdd of=/dev/sdc if="clippa.bin" bs=512 seek=$((0x4000))
01:22:28_BilgusI don't remember if it goes by 16 mb chunks if so try 16 * 1024 * 1024 / 512
01:23:11_Bilgus0x8000
01:23:18sizzlincokIt's been years since I had to math to get the right numbers too. You're not the only one.
01:23:44***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:24:46_Bilgusanyways as long as the rest of the drive is zeros it should seek till it finds it with a valid checksum
01:25:24_Bilgusits not the most robust system so if it were getting wonky bytes back it would fail to boot
01:26:14_Bilgusand in theory you might be able to leave the whole recovery area zero and write to the normal drive area but i've never tried
01:26:40_Bilgusalso thatd leave the thing easily corruptable since a format would wipe out the firmware
01:33:10sizzlincokWell I've tried copying a few times, still no power on.
01:40:16_Bilgussorry I don't know what ele to tell you to try I mean maybe find a really od original sansa fw Read(smaller) and try copying that over
01:40:21_Bilguselse*
01:40:43_Bilgusolder version of the sansa clip+ fw
01:41:29_Bilgusyou might also try copying the fw on there 2x so it matches the original layout
01:42:53_Bilgusdd of=/dev/sdc if="clippa.bin" bs=512 seek=$((0x0)) and the second time dd of=/dev/sdc if="clippa.bin" bs=512 seek=$((0x8000))
01:43:33sizzlincokI tried 0x8000 but it says no more space
01:43:41_BilgusMaybe older versions of the hardware checked both or something weird but on the clip+ 8gb and the clipzip 4g that was not the case
01:43:51_Bilgusoh maybe we are too far then
01:44:20_Bilgustry 7800
01:44:40_Bilgushalf of 0xF000
01:45:30_Bilgusmmm also you did a dump before you began if you can upload that somewhere I can take a look at it tomorrow and possibly figure out whats going on
01:47:31_BilgusIll bb in a few hours
01:47:47sizzlincokYeah I have the original dump.

02:08:16sizzlincokI dd-ed back to the clip+. Still nothing lol
02:28:02sizzlincokIt looks like the flash chip itself has a bridged pin with another. Either me when I desoldered the battery, Don't think so becuase I've never touched the chip side or slipped.
02:28:27sizzlincokI tried to fix it up with a lot of flux but looks like I made it worse.
02:28:49sizzlincokThe hot ass iron looks like it peeled the trace off the PCB.
02:28:59sizzlincokI've decided to abandon all attemps to debrick lol
02:29:27sizzlincokBut if you wanna look at the dump, maybe we could figure out what was actually wrong with the unit? lol
02:29:35sizzlincokFor curiosity and learning purpose.

03:33:14_Bilgussizzlincok, yeash I tried to put on a new sdslot onto one of the clip+ and it didn't go well and I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, I think hot air is about the only way to do anything with them
03:35:18_Bilgussizzlincok, that image is all zeros so i'm not sure if it was a bad dump or just bad flash

07:52:47sizzlincokMaybe it was a bad dump? But it didn't report errors dumping it though. I guess we'll never know. Files are lost, because I ran portable linux.
07:53:35sizzlincokI thought about getting a hot air unit for soldering... Just don't do enough to justify it.
08:00
08:05:08_Bilgusdd won't report errors if the device pushes back all zeros
08:06:24_Bilgusmost likely the flash was already bad and you never got any thing to actually stick and rb booted a few times (that was originally there)
08:06:52_Bilgusnot sure why the crc of the file and the dump would match though
08:07:52_Bilgusalso 31 mb sounds weird I keep thinking it should be the whole drive in recovery mode so in your case ~2gb + 31mb
08:08:28_Bilgusbut like I said 2 years does a lot of scrubbing off the finer points

09:34:24sizzlincokI had 2 other ones that I killed with a faulty USB cable. The CPU ended up getting fried, and it got super hot (to the point it would fry itself) when connected to battery power or USB power.
