iPod fatally frozen after Rockbox install **SOLVED!** (see reply 13 below)

saratoga:
Rockbox has nothing to do with the reset feature, so either you're missing something, or you've suffered an unrelated hardware failure.

No it hasn't because Rockbox *can't* break an iPod. You're simply doing the steps for getting into diskmode wrong, or is there is something *physically* wrong with it.

Llorean:
What happens if you reset it by holding Menu+Select, and while the screen is blank, turn on (and leave on) the hold switch? (You have to turn hold on before the apple logo shows up, or very very very early into when it has).

Febs:
Reboot the iPod.  As soon as you see this:



Press and hold Select and Play simultaneously.

poikkeus:
First, thanks for all the help so far. Here's what's happening. My iPod is well-charged.

APPLE LOGO IS ON SCREEN
1. I depress MENU-SELECT (reboot) for four seconds. The screen goes blank for two seconds, I hear a short drive sound, and the Apple icon appears.
2. I depress MENU-SELECT, with HOLD switch when screen is blank. The screen goes blank for two seconds, and the Apple icon appears. No drive sound.
3. I depress MENU-SELECT (reboot), wait for screen to go black, then depress SELECT-PLAY. Two seconds pass and I get the Second Screen (without the Apple icon).

SIX LINES OF SMALL TEXT ON SCREEN
1. I depress MENU-SELECT. Screen goes black for about two seconds, a short drive sound, and then an Apple icon.

No other key combinations seem to do anything.

What's my next step?
