Rockbox hangs on boot on iPod Nano
« on: August 13, 2007, 05:22:04 PM »
I have a 4GB iPod Nano, and for the past couple of updates (r14288 being the latest working daily build) the iPod consistently hangs while turning it on. It goes through the apple display with no problems, but freezes while displaying the Rockbox logo and revision number. I've tested this with the latest CVS (As of posting).
I can boot it into the Apple firmware, allowing me to update it or put on an old daily build. If I attach it to my computer while it's in its frozen state, my computer says the USB device is malfunctioning or the device is unrecognized, and there is no change on the iPod end.
There are no problems when I put on r14288 or earlier, but any later update seems to mess it up. Is this a known problem? Should I post it in the bug reports? Or have I done something wrong ^_^.
Any ideas are welcome, and thanks in advance.

Do you have the voice menus turned on, and a voice file installed ?

Yes, voice menus were on (as is default), and no, I don't have a voice file installed. I tried turning off voice menus and installing the latest CVS, and still no luck.

Have you seen this thread: Latest Rockbox not working on Nano?

Maybe your Nano is affected too? Since none of the developers owns such a non-working one, it is important to gather as much information as possible to find out what makes them different and what can be done to fix the problem. If you think that the description applies to your Nano too, you could help with filling out the information in the bug report that is mentioned on the last page.

This thread also seems to be connected with the same issue:

Wrong menu item texts - or so?

first500: That is an entirely different problem - and it was also already fixed.

*Sigh* Sorry to bother you all, but I got it working. For some reason, my config file was interfering? It worked fine with the earlier version, but caused the newer one to hang. I have the new one working simply by deleting the config file. I change my settings back. If one causes it to hang again, I'll post that.
In any event, thanks a bunch! ^_^

I have posted this on another thread in connection with jumbled menus and voicing not working (which it now is), but it also seems relevant here:

"The latest versions of rockbox seems very unstable.  "Data abort" keeps occurring at the following addresses:

0002F5F0 on entering the Settings menu, and while scrolling the main menu
40001350 while scrolling the main menu and during shutting down."

The Nano freezes, and has to be restarted with Menu/Select

I have a 4gb Nano, and the Rockbox version is 20070820 r14396.  Please advise if any further details are needed.

Bug reports belong in Flyspray (See the "bug reports" link of the left of your screen) - not in the forums, and certainly not multiple times in the forums.
