It was just a single byte in the other versions that changed from 0 to
1 (so possibly just a single bit). That includes the 1.00.12E
firmware, which I think is just the European version of your
(American) 1.00.12 firmware. I would expect a very similar structure
between the two. This page:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SansaE200FirmwarePartition
has a breakdown of the firmware partition structure that I know of so
far. As you can see from that page, the database rebuild flag is just
a part of the NVPARAMS section of the partition. There's lots of other
stuff in that section such as resume info, etc, so some of that may
change between boots too. I guess it's just a matter of trial and
error, there are only 3 bytes so it shouldn't take too long.
