Im new and i NEED YOUR HELP!

AlexP:
Yes, rockbox supports dual booting.  You can swich between regular iPod firmware and Rockbox.  The manual tells you how, I suggest you have a look.

I don't believe using iPodWizard matters, but personally am not sure.

GodEater:
As I understand it, iPodWizard modifies the apple firmware in the first partition on your iPod - which ipodpatcher also has to modify in order to install the Rockbox bootloader. Therefore I believe there's a good chance one will not work happily with the other.

Probably linuxstb would be able to say one way or the other with authority though.

I also think that is how it works, but if it is just modyfying pictures, it might not matter.  After all, I imagine that all the actual firmware (i.e. not pictures) must be in the same place for the OF to work.  However, as I said I don't know.

Agreed, linuxstb is your man.

linuxstb:
I don't think ipodwizard and ipodpatcher will interfere with each other.  But I would suggest using ipodwizard first, and ipodpatcher second - I can't think of anything that ipodwizard could do that would upset ipodpatcher, but I don't know if the same can be said for ipodwizard.

Bottom line - try it and see.

Chronon:
I just tried using both on an iPod nano.  I used iPodWizard first to modify the Apple firmware's resources.  Then iPodpatcher did its job fine.  Rockbox boots totally fine.  

Apple firmware looks good and is operating normally.  Although, normally in this case means it's a bit glitchy due to the changes made by iPodWizard.  (I'm seeing some behavior that other non-Rockboxed nanos with the same modifications are seeing.)  So, my basic report is that iPodpatcher seems to work fine and does not seem to affect the behavior of modified Apple firmware.
