Can't seem to get rock box and apple to live together on my ipod 5g

Might have to ditch rockbox if I can't get it resolved, there are a few times I simply need apple firmware mode.
Anyone doing this successfully? Itried as the manual stated, shutting down rockbox and as the ipod starts shutting the hold button off but rockbox never prompts me loading firmware the ipod simply restarts in a loop. Later I removed the bootloader with ipod patcher by typing u after deleting the .rockbox/rockbox.ipod file. This had the same results as trying to boot apple with rolo, a reboot loop. Would suggest that the apple firmware is getting corrupted somehow. In disc mode itunes simply stated a reset to factory settings was needed. Any ideas what might be wrong please  post, and thanks.

saratoga:
Format your ipod in itunes, and then reinstall Rockbox and finally add your music back.

betamaxman:
Thanks but.
Did that 3 times now, same results. Works for awhile then chokes.  8-)

hey i couldnt get it either, every time when i wanted to boot into the apple os firmware, it would keep rebooting and never acutally go into the apple os firmware, btu then i restored my ipod with itunes, put all my music back on, and then i used EvilG's Ice build. I put hte .rockbox folder into my root folder then i used ipodpatcher to install the bootloader onto my ipod and now it works perfect, boots into rockbox automatically and into apple os firmware when the switch is on hold.
