Apple iPod Video 30GB -- Trouble Installing bootloader -- Images provided

<< < (2/3) > >>

linuxstb:
It looks like the conversion to FAT32 wasn't done correctly - your FAT32 partition is showing as "disk3s1" - the 1 at the end means the 1st partition on the disk.  The FAT32 partition should be the 2nd partition (the first is a special partition containing the ipod's firmware).

Does the original Apple firmware still work OK on your ipod?  Does itunes recognise and sync with it? 

When converting to FAT32, did you follow the instructions here?

Takua1:
The original firmware doesn't work.  It goes into "recovery mode".
iTunes does recognize and sync with the iPod, interestingly enough.
I'm fairly sure that I followed the instructions correctly, but if I need to do it again I will.

ipodpatcher requires a working ipod to modify.  I would suggest you restore it (using itunes) and then try the conversion again.

Takua1:
The conversion to FAT32 is not working for me.  After I convert and nothing looks wrong, I eject my iPod and it goes into recovery mode.  I can't tell anything I'm doing wrong.  I'm following all of the directions, including the fact that I'm using the correct (mbr-video30gb-2048.bin) bin.  Any common mistake that I could be making?

gevaerts:
Are you sure about the 2048-byte sectors ?
