Rockbox bricked my iPod Nano?

A couple of months ago , i got an iPod Nano off my friend . It was quite old and the battery didnt last very long.I installed rockbox onto the iPod.It installed and i used it for a couple of hours , the battery level dropped so i decided to charge it with an apple iPod charger .The charger then made rockbox go into the apple reset screen.I waited for it to load , but it never loaded , just froze at that screen.It then stopped working even when i plugged it into a power source.I thought the battery was the source of this problem , so i took it and got it fixed and they said it wasnt the battery... Is this normal for a player to crash while booting? I want rockbox again cos its AWESOME but i dont want it because it might brick it again..

Just now noticed that on my iPod mini the attempt to connect with the PC the USB screen appears and remains hanging. With the version r18092 that did not happen.
Reset the iPod with MENU & SELECT, keep MENU pressed to boot into the “Apple mode” and copy the file rockbox.ipod (just modified my post) from the r18092 onto the iPod.

Works great,

Llorean:
Rockbox.info is just a text file, used by RBUtility to identify your player. It couldn't affect USB mode.

X_Knochen:
hmmm, but deleting the r19093 solved the problem?!?

Llorean:
Or maybe it just occasionally freezes when rebooting into disk mode right now (it does) and coincidence just lined up...
