Installing RB on a formatted Ipod

<< < (2/2)

algalord:
When the ipod is totally clean and formatted i can use it as usb drive no problem. When I do restore in itunes, the Ipod gets stuck whenever I try to access it from my computer or Itunes. And it takes the Ipod something like 10min to load the firmware after restart (which is not normal...).

So I was trying to install rockbox instead, but it doesn't work without the original firmware and with it I can't access the Ipod.

GodEater:
How about if you uninstall iTunes after you've done the restore ?

algalord:
I think I tried it. I tried to connect the ipod to an Itunesless computer and it still gives me the same problem. In ubuntu it shows the drive but it says there is no drive there.

Chronon:
This does not sound promising.  If your native Apple firmware is not functioning properly then it's a long shot to expect Rockbox to function properly.
