ipod not longer goes into disk mode when usb charging

You don't charge over the data lines, so just because its charging doesn't mean the cable is good.   Worth checking, but it seems a little unlikely.

When I manually put it into disk mode (the only way I can get my computer to recognize it as an external hard drive), I just successfully pulled files off and added new files to the ipod, so the cable appears to be fine.

Anything else I can do to help diagnose the issue?

elitenoobboy:
It's an actual bug, not a cable problem. I had the reverse of it (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=20242.msg143118) until one of the releases a few days ago switched it around.

Zardoz:
Hi. I'm having the same problem. The most recent build I installed (r19865 for ipod 5.5 80GB.) does not boot to disk mode automatically. I entered disk mode manually and reinstalled r19822 which froze after i ok'd 'to disconnect.' Restarted but no change and after manually entering disk mode again installed r19752 which was the last revision I remember specifically downloading. and in spite of freezing on disconnect, as above, it did enter disk mode automatically when reconnected a minute or so later. I haven't tried any builds in between. Does this relate to work on the USB stack? Incidentally Rockbox itself was fine on those more recent builds and in fact seemed more responsive if anything, with button presses and menu navigation and the like.  Z

Chronon:
Then someone should file a bug report.  If you can figure out which build introduced this behavior that would be ideal.
