You can also try holding MENU + SELECT to reboot, then immediately turn on the Hold switch.  This should boot into the Apple firmware and you can connect via USB.  You apparently installed the bootloader, but did not correctly extract the firmware to your player.

It tells you what to do.  Put it into Disk Mode and make sure that the firmware exists in the correct location.  Have you done that?

Extract the rockbox.zip to the root of your player.  Your player should contain a directory called ".rockbox" after the procedure.  You should be able to open this directory even if the GUI doesn't show it to you (e.g. manually type in the address, or use the terminal to navigate there).  If there's no such directory then the rockbox.zip wasn't extracted properly.

The correct location for rockbox.ipod is:

Code: [Select]
/.rockbox/rockbox.ipod

Well, apparently something didn't take since the bootloader is complaining of a missing rockbox.ipod.  You can try using the installer to install the firmware again.  Does the installer give any error messages when you do this?

What does it (Rockbox Utility) say?  You have to provide information or you're not going to get much useful feedback.
