iPod bootloader
« on: August 04, 2007, 01:22:15 PM »
Is this meant to allow me to choose either the iPod firmware or Rockbox firmware every time I restart my iPod? If it is meant to, it's not doing so. It automatically loads up Rockbox.

Pay attention to the last paragraph or so of installation. It will tell you how to use the bootloader for both firmwares.

It's also in the manual, which the guidelines require you read before asking questions.

That method for loading the ipod firm is actually out of date.  It still works, but the method in the manual is the preferred method.
