Rockbox to Itunes.. Itunes to Rockbox
killer:
??? as i understand the manual, i can change firnware, from rockbox to itunes (original firmware), itunes (original firmware) to rockbox?, by simply pressing "select" button and "menu" button (rebooting)? ???
lights0ut:
The rockbox bootloader loads rockbox by default, so if you do a hard-reboot by holding menu/centre you will get rockbox again. To load the apple OS you need to turn on the hold switch when you turn on your iPod (when you first see the apple before rockbox loads). You can also hold menu when you turn on your iPod to go into the apple OS. To get back into rockbox you will need to hard-reboot by holding menu/centre.
hope that helps ;)

thanks for the quick reply ;) ...so it means i can change from rockbox to itunes and from itunes to rockbox?!, just following that simple nstruction?, the only reason why i want to change back to itune is because i wanted to watch video using ipod's, as i understand the manual, video playing (mpeg1 and mpeg2) is not yet perfected (no fast forward/reverse).

Hey killer,
I don't mean to be a jerk, but I do mean to be pedantic in a nice way. :)
I just want to stress the importance of correct and common terminology on these technical forums.
iTunes is Apple's software for managing your music and syncing it to your iPod. The Apple firmware (that is, the software on your iPod) doesn't seem to have an official name, but it isn't "iTunes".
I make this point because iTunes and Rockbox can both be used at the same time, infact you can continue to use iTunes to manage your iPod (if you so desire) and Rockbox to play your music.
killer:
this is cool!, two firmware on one ipod unit, and you have an option to choose which one you want to use!... ei thanks soap ;), i just find it easier to say "itunes" rather than saying "the original Apple's firmware!.. yeah am sorry i know this could mislead somebody reading this thread.
