ipod keeps locking up and resetting

(1/3) > >>

McCollum:
I just downloaded rockbox for my 30G ipod video and it appears to have loaded fine. Some of the icons work without a problem, however, most of the time I will click on an icon and the ipod will reset OR lock up. Sometimes it will also reset randomly. It's really irritating, because this seems like a cool program but if I can't work the bugs out...well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

bluebrother:
What icons are you talking about? Are you sure you don't restart the Ipod by Rolo-ing it (clicking the file "rockbox.ipod")? Please describe your problem more detailed.

McCollum:
Oh sorry. I mean on the ipod interface itself.  Here's what I can view without a problem:
Settings
Playlists
Plugins
System

Clicking on the following selections nearly always causes the ipod to reset or lock up:
Files
Database
Resume Playback
Recording

Like I said, either the ipod will reset or lock up. When it locks up I can hold down MENU+SELECT and I can reset it without a problem. Basically the problem is that I'm not able to access any of the actual files on my ipod. Let me know if you need to know more

bluebrother:
What build have you installed? How did you install? Does the Apple firmware work fine or has it issues too? Have you tried running chkdsk /f on the player?

McCollum:
I installed the ipod video 30G build.  That's the ipod that I have.

I followed this video to install the new firmware on my ipod. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fnaeotxE9U

I haven't had any trouble with the apple firmware no.

I'm sure how to run chkdsk/f or what that would do. Could you explain?

[edit] I saved my music to my computer and then restored my ipod to see if things would work better then. Nothing's changed and I'm still having the same problems [edit]
