dual boot to rhapsody firmware

[scorche]

Those of you who are experiencing this issue, can you please download this file, place it into your system folder (this is a hidden folder that resides in the root of the device and should not be created by you), and tell me what happens?

[zwaldowski]

I tried the the one from the instructions (cut-and-paste).  Still does the white fadey thing.  Then I tried scorche's one, still no dice.

Heck, all I need the Rhapsody FW for is USB...

[scorche]

Mine should be the same one as that, but I figured if mine worked, there was a chance you are all getting a bad one.

This whole thing would be so much simpler if I wasn't able to dual-boot...

To those who have the problem, what version information does the bootloader show?  It should say "Version: rXXXXXX:XXXXXX-XXXXXX"  - the full line could help in figuring out the problem.

I think that having the screen do the fade thing may be damaging it. I am starting to see blotchy spots when it fades.

[scorche]

No.  Mine fades to white for around a second and then boots into the Rhapsody firmware.

i have a video of what mine does, follow this link:

I think videos would be more helpful to actually show what happens.

[scorche]

I already saw that...stop repeating it.  If you are so keen on making videos, make one that details your entire installation process including showing the text and everything that you do so I can be sure that you are doing everything correctly.

[DavidGWRawson]

Ok, I'm working on it right now. I'll modify.

[JdGordon]

fading to white is expected.... please, just go back to the OF and wait for an official installer (could be days away) so we can user-proof it

[DavidGWRawson]

so we can user-proof it

As in keeping us from using it? Like water-proof. Why would you want to prevent us from using it?

[krazykit]

Of course not.  "user-proof" meaning "user won't easily break it and screw something up big-time".

[DavidGWRawson]

Well, I actually like doing it manually. But I messed it up the first time, so it probably would be best for other people just to be safe. Do you still want to see the video or do you already know what it does exactly?

[zwaldowski]

Mine fades slowly to white (all at once, not bottom up).  No text appears, and the Rhapsody firmware never starts.  I've left it for like 5 minutes, so I know it's no dice.  Oh, well, I'll look out for that idiot-proof installer.

I wanted to say idiot-proof, but thought that may be too harsh and could be taken the wrong way... just like the ipodpatcher.. completly idiot proof...
