Latest Rockbox not working on Nano
danhibiki:
Now I've updated to r14006 because I saw more changes on PP targets and Rockbox can't find its .rockbox directory again :-\
Dwyloc, I always use Apple OS when transferring files because for some reason it is much faster than disk mode.
Rockbox was always stable for me (except in the beggining, but that was expected), it was some changes on 2007-07-03 (probably CPU related) that started these problems. If I use a build from 2007-07-02, which I'm using because of all of the issues, it works just fine.
Llorean:
Why don't you work out exactly which change it is. And better yet, why it's not affecting any other Nano users.
I'll repeat that it still very much sounds like a bad 'disk' (flash) more than anything to do with Rockbox. You're the only person experiencing these problems, and they almost entirely relate to the disk.
danhibiki:
It's r13763 you can see here:
http://www.rockbox.org/daily/changelogs/changes-20070703.html
If it were some bad flash memory, then r13762 (that I builded on my own to test) would not be working correctly, it would be corrupting tons of files/folders. But that's not the case, r13762 works perfectly fine, plays back every song I try, don't have graphical glitches, always boots and so on.
Why it doesn't affect others nano users is beyond what I can do, since I don't have any other nano around me (I don't even know other people with nano's that I could test). All I can do is report the behaviour I'm getting and trying to make it as useful and detailed as I can.
If what I'm reporting isn't helpful on trying to isolate the problem, please tell me how to, because I'm willing to do this.
Llorean:
What is the most recent SVN revision you've tried, not compiled yourself but downloaded from our build server?
What bootloader version are you running?
As I said, Rockbox ran fine on my Nano using revisions you said didn't work, and as well you've showed signs that there is some strangeness to your partition. Have you tried reformatting and restoring your iPod and then re-installing Rockbox? Have you tried running a few disk checking utilities?
Just because one revision seems to be working doesn't make it set in stone that your disk isn't bad. Whatever it is, it's very likely something specific to just your iPod, otherwise other people would be having this problem, as I've said.
Have you gone back and tried older revisions to ensure they're all still working?
Farpenoodle:
Hmmm. Interesting.
I think it's possible I might be experiencing something related. Though not nearly as severe. I only stumbled across this because I updated to the latest build without noticing the portalplayer updates. Basically, I thought my nano had finally died.
Anyway to get to the matter, for the past two weeks (I think) I've noticed that rockbox on my Nano was popping on my MP3 files and completely skipping alot of my MPC files. I first thought that I had managed to corrupt my filesystem. Which really surprised me considering how anal I usually am about that kind of thing. So I restored my iPod and reinstalled Rockbox. Then the problem came back and I thought my flash was dying. Thing is, this seems to occur fairly randomly. Sometimes I can read my files just fine.
Also, fsck and chkdsk would seem to indicate that all is fine.
Was running r14009 but have reverted to r14001 until this bootloader stuff has been sorted out. Maybe I'll try going to r13762 to see if that fixes the problem for me.
If it's at all helpful it's a Black 4GB Nano.
