It's impossible to say if it's "the right one" since you don't say which iPod you have.
Where did you unzip it to anyway ?

sorry man, i unzipped it to the root of the ipod
Cheers,
Ben.
GodEater:
So what folder structure do you have there now then ?
y2kcpi1:
everything in the .rockbox folder
knight4led:
Have you had any luck y2kcpi1?
I am still getting the cannot find rockbox.ipod error no matter what build I use whether rockbox.ipod is in the root or the .rockbox folder.
I have checked and double checked my bootloader as version 1.1 both with the ipodpatcher program and one I built from source.
I did format my iPod using the mbr files from the IpodFat32 wiki, but I am relatively sure that is correct since ipodpatcher and iTunes both report it as a winpod with 2048mb sectors.
(I think my next step may be to try to install windows on my mac and go from there. That is the EXTREMELY long method)
blueworm:
I get the *No partition found* error
I have a 80Gb.
I have re-installed my ipod from backup.
--- Code: ---dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc count=1
dd if=bootpartition.bin of=/dev/sdc1
mkdosfs -F 32 -S 2048 /dev/sdc2
--- End code ---
All is good apple OS boots fine. I then install rockbox.
--- Code: ---unzip -d /mnt/ipod rockbox.zip
./ipodpatcher

I eject and voila *No partition found*
I have tried doing this a million diffrent ways but nothing.
Any Ideas?
???
I cant try to backup from a windows iTunes, like somebody suggested since I don't have windows at home. All I can muster is Linux or OSX.
:'(
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:-
I changed the mbr image to the one in the:- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodConversionToFAT32
Now I get the same problem as those on OSX *can't find rockbox.ipod*.
Has anybody gotten this to work with Linux or OSX?
UPDATE:-
Rockbox boots with ipodloader but behaves incorrectly!
