That's very interesting, I had no idea those existed. What's the reason for it bricking itself?



no idea, i find it another reason for the feds and the prison to get an extra buck from selling them, being that they have ultra restrictive firmware, i read somewhere that they charge up to 25$ just to fix it.

i think its another safety reason to prevent inmates from potentially stealing them, and selling them out.
with the Service days limit; that prevents that.

no idea, its a pity that i wont be able to make use of it, now just a interesting paperweight to show to others on the internet, because this is indeed something you dont see alot..

Is there no way to get it unlocked again?

i cant seem to find a way legally to unlock it.

formatting via windows doesnt do anything; as i just get a window telling me Windows could not complete the format.

installing manually and thru the installer didnt do anything to it. its still stuck in v1.2 firmware

i even tried to put in Rockbox in it, did nothing.



i stated before, i read that the prison or something can charge 25$ if you want to unlock it, which isnt something im willing to pay, i dont find it worth it since i dont totally need the clip, other than admiring it and being a souvenir from my father.

im sure Sandisk can do something, but that relies on me having to ship it to them, etc etc.

The Prison Clip should have a "P" at the end of the firmware number. It's firmware is made by these people here Advanced Technologies Group, LLC They have also made it so you can't just replace their firmware with stock firmware.

I think I'm now enough satisfied from my portable rig to stop my research :) Although Mimouille tries to corrupt me with their amazing rigs...

Rockboxed Sansa FuzeV2 µSD 64go > diyLOD with Elna caps & µUSB female > Pico Slim > EarSonics EM4



FuzeV2 : almost 25 hours baterrylife, sounds absolutely not great alone, due to an average amp section (bad to my ears, but I can understand those who like it). Rockbox is just the best OS ever. Very fast, a lot of options, usefull and free.
Pico Slim : Cornerstone of the rig, it gives all the needs of amplification of my lovely EM4. Extension, impact, volume, details, this is the panacea and the only condition to use a Fuze.
diyLOD : thanks to ClieOS for his tutorial, very usefull, I go further in adding an µUSB female to charge up with the same charger as my phone and all of it during while playback :) What else ?


Sorry for the quality of the photo, my passion for photography is not as important as audio :D

Well keep your pants up because the Tera does not match the Miracles too well actually, because of output impedance, but It matches the 1plus2 much better :)

What you are trying to do could best be described as a Jail-break!
