Help! Can't Install after Firmware 1.3 update by Apple

[R32man]

Hi

Have been using Rockbox for many months on my 80G Ipod, Ipod was purchased 2 years ago. Updated the firmware to 1.3 via Itunes and did a complete a total restore at the same time as I converted my Flac to Ogg format and wanted to start with a clean sheet.

After following the instructions that has worked many times before! it now does not work  the only thing I can think of is the Firmware upgrade to 1.3! also I noticed an increase on this forum and generally when I have googled for this.

The error message is

Rockbox boot loader
Version: 2.0
IPOD version: 0xFFFFFFFF
TOSHIBA MK8010gah
Partition 1: 0x0B 38096 MB
Loading Rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
File not found
Hold MENU+SELECT to reboot
then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode

I have even downloaded the R17500 release today! no success ..
I have even downloaded the rbutilqt-v1.0.5 file and followed the installation! no success ...

I have almost lost hope unless some one can help me

Where, on your player, *exactly* is the file rockbox.ipod?

[R32man]

HI

It is located inside this folder

I:\.rockbox\rockbox.ipod

[Llorean]

And what format is the partition it's on?

Can you run a chkdsk on your device?

[R32man]

There must be something strange going on because this is another case

Who is "they" ?

They are the people that spend the time and have the skills to write these programs in the 1st place

You mean like the people who have been answering in this thread ?

Couldn't you just roll back the firmware to the older version that worked fine with Rockbox?  It's not the ideal, obviously, but you seem pretty worked up.

Other people have tried this. It doesn't help

Yes I am a little pissed, because I have been using Rockbox for many months and love it! then I upgraded to Firmware 1.3 and now I have nothing. I just keep my fingers crossed that someone will resolve this issue.. I live in hope 

I am not upset with Rockbox, as I see this as the doing of apple!!

I've found a good deal on a 80GB ipod Video, but I just learned it has the 1.3 firmware. Has anyone gotten Rockbox to work on 1.3? I'd appreciate a quick reply - I have to say yes or no tomorrow. Thanks!

The problem can be fixed by using an svn bootloader. Once a new bootloader is released it will work (I don't know when that will be though)
