RockBox Utility

(1/3) > >>

Ok, i used rock box once before. It sapped my battery, and i uninstalled it, bootloader and all.  I use rockbox utility to try and reinstall, because i put a new battery in, turns out it was the battery not rock box. And when it installs the bootloader, it downloads rockbox.zip, and stops responding when it goes to extract it. I went and downloaded an older version of the utility and it did the same thing.
FYI: I am using a 5.5g Ipod Video (80 Gb Hard drive)

Are you running RbUtil as a user with admin rights?

If that's not the problem, you could try using the "Manual Installation" method documented in the manual.

i dont like the manual installation! Im too afraid that I'll screw something up and brick my ipod  ??? :-\

I don't think you can brick the iPod using ipodpatcher. I think the only known way to brick an iPod is to interrupt it during an Apple firmware update. Rockbox doesn't write to the same place the Apple update does, so there's no risk when installing Rockbox.

zymph:
this ipodpatcher, its on the IPL wiki right?
