Newb need help...
« on: May 08, 2008, 01:30:03 PM »
Okay so i just finished installing rock box on my 30 gig ipod video. Well Rock box boots fine but when it gets to the selector screen ie : Files, databases, resume.... it does nothing, i cant scroll or select anything. Ive tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, nothing... Any ideas what im doing wrong?

That is an odd problem I haven't seen before.
Let's throw some shots in the dark... ;)
1 - This is an iPod video (5th gen) and not a 30GB iPod color/photo?  (Just making sure you have the right build on there.)
2 - Assuming this actually is a 5th gen iPod, just want to make sure you have the specific build for the 30GB, and not accidentally extracted the 60/80GB build.
3 - Last but not least - want to verify this is an official and current build acquired from this website?

was the scroll wheel acting funny before you installed rockbox? i'd try a 'hard-reset' if i were you: Leaving hold OFF on the iPod, hold 'Menu' and 'Select' until the apple icon appears (sometimes this takes a while or a few attempts), if .rockbox is on the root it should load....is it the same?  When you plug the ipod in is it recognised by your computer?

I'm not sure if this is the same behavior or not:
