Having trouble installing on 5g video
« on: September 17, 2006, 11:25:41 PM »
Hey,
Well i decieded to install rockbox on my ipod after hearing it be discussed on head-fi. It did the step by step install and got the light blue screen then it went to apple firmware. After that i downloaded the new CVS build and opened the folder with winzip and highlighted all the files and told them to extract to my ipod as it stood in my computer e:/jaysonsip. After i did that i got both the folder and seperate ipod file. But when i went to eject my ipod it said "failed to eject volume" and said it failed to eject from my PC. After that went away i restarted my ipod and it went straight to apples firmware.  I cant get into rockbox becuase it goes striaght into apple, and i tired installing differen versions but they all failed. Any ideas on what i should do next? All suggestions are more then welcome!

Please detail the steps you took to install the boot loader not just the copying of the ROCKbox files.

How is that supposed to restart your iPod?

Have you tried holding Menu+Select to actually REBOOT it?

You haven't actually shut down the iPod, which kinda makes it impossible for it to boot into Rockbox, because the only way to leave the Apple firmware is to either
A) change the firmware partition (forces a reboot)
B) let your iPod sit for a few days so it goes into "deep" sleep
C) Menu+Select

Hold Menu+Select until the screen clears and then an Apple logo shows. Then let go, and it should show the Rockbox bootloader, and then if Rockbox is extracted properly, boot Rockbox.

Seriously though, in the future, if you ask for help you shouldn't just go off and do random things while waiting for a response. It often will just mean that it'll take longer to resolve your problem.

Actually, the *best* way to do it, is right after doing the "ipodpatcher N -w rockboot.bin" step, before disconnecting, copy everything over.

But any time you go into the Apple firmware, you'll have to do the Menu+Select reboot to get back to Rockbox.
