Install rockbox instead orig. firmware Ipod 5.5 gen 30gb

(1/3) > >>

Turtle:
I heard that its possible to install rockbox instead apple firmware to firmware partition and after that you need no bootloader and its faster. I found that i
should write   "ipodpatcher [device] -wf rockbox.ipod"   in ipodpatcher. I guess that means if my Ipods letter  in My Momputer is "I" its
"ipodpatcher I -wf rockbox.ipod" . Bud somehow it doesnt work. Can someone please explain to me how to do it? If possible please give me some for dummie-like guide. Thanks
PS:sorry for bad english

No, the drive letter is not the device. On linux, the device is something like /dev/sda, on Windows it's something like \\.\PhysicalDrive2. Use "ipodpatcher --list" to figure the correct device ...

Unless it's been changed recently, ipodpatcher only takes a number as the device parameter, you don't have to type \\.\PhysicalDrive[n]

linuxstb:
You shouldn't need to specify the device at all - ipodpatcher will find your ipod.

"ipodpatcher --list" doesn't list devices, it lists the contents of your ipod's firmware partition.

Thanks for advices, but I really cant figure out how to do it, after writing command ipodpatcher --list ipodpatcher falls down immediately. after writing ipodpatcher -wf rockbox.ipod or another version of this command ipodpatcher displays something and closes before i can read it.
