Oops! i formatted my iPod5.5 while using rockbox, it;s awsome T.T
« on: January 22, 2009, 10:47:34 AM »
I'm afraid im a worst guy with this stupid problem, but im serious..

I use my iPod 5.5 with genius Rockbox

actually before that, i did crack with another hacking program
(there was  boot up option with blue panel to do install cracked Games...)


it worked great, and i installed rockbox after that
.

but i did Quick-format(windows XP default) without thinking
(at that time i was very busy, i only needed a huge storage only...so i did it and i;m crying)

 :-[ oh, my, god!........


After that

Windows XP cannot recognize iPod not only iPod player but also a mass storage in any other systems.

terrible.

and there is a message on the iPod's screen like below. (with black pannel)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rockbox boot loader
Version : 1.1
iPod version 0xFFFFFFFF
TOHSIBA MK3008GAL
Partition 1 : 0x0b 28521 mb
Loading rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
File not found
Hold MENU+SELECT to reboot
then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

so, that's it

How can i do for this terrible situation? Could you help me?

so i beg your genius answer, i need my ipod again plz.

^^ thanks for your concern.

good night.

Follow those instructions to mount your Ipod's disk, then restore it with iTunes in Windows.

Explain what you did.  You're probably just not hitting the right buttons.

hi~

Mounting iPod to my PC, at that time Windows can recognize ipod as ipod and mass storage of course.

And i did disk quick format, delete everything, even though roxbox. folder

but windows still understand its status, but after unmounting once,

windows cannot recognize, and my ipod only show me the message above.

It's brick right now(with only black screen&message)

so...it's terrible.

As saratoga has said, you need to follow the directions the message has given you:

You still have the Rockbox bootloader installed, just not the Rockbox files. Put the iPod in Disk Mode (method given by previous post), and then it should connect as a USB Mass Storage Device. You can then place a new .rockbox folder into the iPod if you want Rockbox back, and if you want the default Apple firmware, simply go into iTunes and do a restore.

Thanks for your help~

but...that's the point

i could reboot with pushing menu+select(main button ;at one time)

However after rebooting i pushed that(select+play ;at one time) button so many times,
but it didnt work.

hmm....

should i push that button another way?

When i back home, i will try again.

I hope it's working

Anyway i really appreciate your help. :)

Maybe you're waiting too long.  As soon as the screen blanks start holding Select + Play.
