ipod 4G won't boot into original apple FW

[cabilyo]

Hi,

I have 4G Ipod that runs RockBox rev CVS 060903,
Playing is OK ,but when I plug the usb cable it reboots and hangup at apple Icon,
When I trying to go to Disk Mode it hangs up again in Apple Icon,
If I took the Hard Drive and place it on different Ipod I can copy files from/to it ,so it looks like something wrong with my RockBox boot loader
But how can I fix it without access to disk mode or normal mounted drive mode?


Thanks for your help.

The rockbox bootloader doesn't affect the operation of disk mode on the iPod - it can't.

So if the drive works in another iPod, but not in yours, it suggests there is something physically wrong with your iPod - not something wrong with Rockbox.

I see ,but how come RockBox is running perfectly ?
Doesn't is suggest that HW is OK?
Only booting when USB connected or trying to go to DiskMode,Original FW
won't work?

Thanks.

Because Rockbox doesn't use the USB hardware, so if there was something wrong with it, it wouldn't affect Rockbox?
