crowley, try Emergency Disk Mode. That will let you access the disk so you can finally update.

Slow down, I'm pretty sure that number is wrong -- check r1839 ;)

As far as I understood he has issues charging the player -- so this is not related to the bootloader, and until he manages to charge the player he won't be able to update (but please update afterwards ;) )

Once the player starts to boot, enter emergency disc mode by holding Menu + Play. The player won't leave this mode until you reset it; therefore you should be able charging just fine. After it charged you then can update your build and bootloader.

Thanks for the answer... well actually i already tried that ...and tried it again now but it doesnt go to any emergency mode (yes i remember what mode it is kindoff...) ... it just doesnt respond....  Maybe it helps if i film this and upload it to somewhere to show whats happening? :/

heres a picture of the boot anyway:

Disk mode happens before Rockbox code is run. Try it again, it'll usually work even with extremely low power, and if it's not working you're most likely just doing it wrong. But disk mode is entered by holding SELECT+PLAY, not MENU+PLAY as previously mentioned.

I would suggest doing it with the charge cable plugged in.

... which usually means "too late". On my Ipod I need to press (and hold) Select + Play immediately after switching on the Ipod, even before the backlight goes on. No idea how hard it is to figure that moment on a color Ipod ...

Edit: fixed wrong key combination I mentioned first :o Sorry for the confusion.

I tried select +play also now but it didnt help ... ill post a short video where i filmed a little untill my camera battery died lol  ::)
