OK, I had some success, but I'm not sure how I keep going.

After I run the e200tool-mac, the player screen lights up with the
SanDisk startup screen, then it says:

    Welcome to recovery mode

Followed by:

    USB cable connected
    Enter USB2.0 MSD mode
    LUN0 locked

The device does not show up anywhere on the desktop (only in disk
tools, which does not allow any copying TO a drive...except for the
"restore" function).

(Can you even copy files to the device when lock is still on??)

When I unplug the USB cable, the player displays:

    Upgrade finished
    Resetting the system

...which sounds excellent, but then nothing happens. The screen shuts
off, and the blue ring stays lit. When I turn the player off (holding
power for 15 seconds) then turn it on again (with lock still on), just
the blue ring lights up all over again.

Seems like I need to get the device to show up on the desktop to copy
the .mi4 file, right? (Or must this be done from terminal? I don't
know how that's done.)

A little confuzzled....
