Ipod 5G 80GB not booting original firmware
« on: February 29, 2008, 03:37:06 AM »
Hi.
I hope someone can help me with this as I have been searching the forums but so far without sucsess.
I would like to uninstall rockbox from my 5G iPod. When I first installed it I used the Rockbox utilitys, and rockbox installed just fine. However, when i tried to boot the original firmware (by swithing on hold) the iPod just came up with the silvery apple and then restarted.
I then tried to uninstall rockbox with said utilitys. But now i just get to the silvery apple and then the iPod restarts and so on and so on and so on.
I then turned the iPod into diskmode, Windows found the iPod, iTunes found the iPod and I rebuildt the iPod with iTunes. Wonderfull eh? Not quite.
I still get to the silvery apple and then it restarts.
I have tried installing and uninstalling the rocbox bootloader with the ipodpatcher program but that does not seem to work.
So now i'm back to running rockbox, wich seemingly work fine. I would, however, like to go back to the original Apple firmware however strange that may seem to some of you.
Any tips on how to make the original firmware boot again?

Do you mean that you restored the iPod with iTunes, or something else?
