Ipod patcher error on Ipod 5th gen

<< < (6/6)

Enjoy Rockbox!  :)

I had similar problem with 5th gen ipod:

[INFO] Moving images to create room for new firmware...
[ERR]  Short read - requested 8388608 bytes, received 5243904
[ERR]  Image movement failed.
[ERR]  --install failed.

Initially found it hard to believe it could be the cable, as I had successfully used the same one to install rockbox on a 2nd gen mini. But then I remembered I had been using the back usb port on my pc for that install. Switched the cable from the front port to the back. No Problems. Great product.

dreamlayers:
Yes, there are signal quality issues with front USB ports on some computers.  In particular they may not allow reliable USB 2 high speed operation.  Whenever you have some kind of USB problem with a front port it's worth to try a rear port.  The front ports generally come with the case and they may not be up to spec, of good quality or designed for USB 2 high speed.  The ones on the back are on the motherboard.
