Rockbox

I have indeed noticed this from time to time. It seems that it when Rockbox tries to reboot, it occasionally freezes. Keep in mind though, you can force the Sansa off by holding power for 15 seconds.

Same problem as above (I did a duplicate bug-post because I was not able to find this one with the search engine).

I just installed today version (r6819) from r67xx (maybe r6729). My sansa e260 (refurbished, bought from USA - patched with sansapatcher downloaded 2 days ago, no custom modification) hangs when I try to connect the usb cable when rockbox is active. The system try to reset but hangs while the on screen image fades-out (sometime a black line appears in the middle of the screen)... it remains illuminated but nothing can be done. The only solution is to hold the power button for almost 10 seconds to shut the player down (someone suggested to remove the battery... very very unfair in sansa e260 !!! It is locked with screws !).
Only once an USB icon appeared but then everythings hanged like in the other cases (lcd fades out, etc.).
I never see the battery charging icon.

It normally works if I hold down the left button and boot with original firmware.

I recently experienced a similar problem with r16884 and later but not with r16873 and earlier. When I plug in the USB cable in r16884 or later (at least up to r16899), the screen is garbled for a second, then it displays a big USB cable image in the middle of the screen on top of my background image, the status bar shows a USB icon, and the "hard drive LED" is on in the status bar. The system is frozen at this point. I can only hold the power button for about 12 seconds to shut it off.

The same thing also happens if I simply select "reconnect usb storage" in the System / Debug Menu, except the USB icon doesn't appear in the status bar (because it's not actually plugged in at the time it freezes).

confirmed on 2 of my 3 e200's (havnt tested on the third). a fix for the bootloader was commited a few days ago which may solve this also, ill have a little fiddle

yep... changing http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/firmware/target/arm/usb-fw-pp502x.c?r1=16816;r2=16817;pathrev=16817 from #ifndef BOOTLOADER to #ifndef SANSA_E200 fixes the problem. I dont know what problems might come up with this (probably a small battery hit)

flyspray spam!

I deleted my previous post because after actually testing the build it forced me to use recovery mode to get a working OF back... try the above change if you can...

I too get exactly what christop stated. It used to work when I had an older version. Can't remember which version, I know that it was far behind though so I decided to update. I liked being able to charge while listening to my music. Oh, well... I like the idea of being able to choose whether to reboot or charge when USB is plugged in. Never seen that before but I have only had mine from just after Christmas.

why was this changed to PP targets? has anyone experienced this on any target other than the e200?

iPod 4G and Mini - See the related tasks. They are a bit older and possibly out of date, though. I got the impression that this was related to the PP USB stack rebooting being a bit hit-and-miss.

Will someone provide a fix for this ?

I can't reproduce this issue on my Mini 2G (r16951).

My Sansa e280 now reboots correctly when the USB cable is inserted (or when "reconnect usb storage" is selected) with r16953.

My e200 hasn't done this in ages either, although it never consistently froze on me, so it's hard to say if it's just a matter of luck.

untill this gets commited try http://rafb.net/p/djZ5mH54.html
