hey guys my ipod is a 1st gen nano.  it worked perfectly until one day i turned it on and it said this:
Rockbox.boot loader
Version:  2.0
IPOD version: 0x000C0005
SST55LD019K-45-C-MWE
Partition 1:  0x0B 1866 MB
Loading Rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
File not found
Hold MENU+SELECT to
reboot then SELECT+PLAY
for disk mode
 
ive tried menu+select so many times i cant even remember.. and ive tried select+play.. still nothing.. i just want my normal ipod back so i can sell it and i wanna put rockbox on my other ipod but i dont think i will if i cant even get it off this one

What happens when you hold "Menu+Select", and when exactly do you press "Select+Play"?

when i do menu+select it just restarts the ipod and goes back to the screen.  i only do select+play whenever im done doing the menu+select
but yeah my computer doesnt even recognize that something is plugged in when i plug it in through the usb port.  it charges, but it does not even tell me that something is plugged into the computer.  on the other hand ive tried to plug in other things and they work. just not the ipod.

As soon as the iPod starts to restart (when the screen clears while holding Menu+Select) IMMEDIATELY hold down Select+Play.
