Install rockbox instead orig. firmware Ipod 5.5 gen 30gb

<< < (2/3) > >>

GodEater:
Run it from a command prompt window (hint: Go to Start->Run, and type "cmd", then hit enter)

This way you'll be able to read ipodpatcher's output without the window closing on you.

so i wrote "ipodpatcher -wf rockbox.ipod"  but I am still able to load orig. apple firmware. And rockbox is loaded by bootloader.
I have totally same outcome with "ipodpatcher \\.\PhysicalDrive1 -wf rockbox.ipod" and "ipodpatcher 1 -wf rockbox.ipod"

This is where you should be writing "ipodpatcher -wf rockbox.ipod".

You're right (my memory a bit off) but it still shows the device -- at least on linux it displays the device file of the Ipod found. Can't check on windows right now, but it shows the UNC path instead. Which would give him the correct device.

This is wrong -- you can't enter commands at this prompt. The only allowed inputs are those in brackets, and in your case it just takes the first "i" and goes for install. You need to run the command line initially, i.e.

--- Code: ---c:\> ipodpatcher -wf rockbox.ipod
--- End code ---

PS: Doeas somebody know if there will by rockbox for ipod classic?
