iPod mini 1G, error when installing bootlader.

(1/2) > >>

epicelite:
So I got this iPod min 1G from my friend and he had iPod linux/normal apple firmware with a bootloader on it with no problem.

All I did was hook it up with iTunes and do a restore to get his music off and because I wanted rockbox not iPod linux.(although they are pretty similar...)

Anywho when I download the autoinstaller it detects my iPod and all that.



FAIL!
I can try the just install bootloader and nothing works, fine I will try it the hard way. (the only other way I know of...)



lol, no.

So what do I do?  :-\

tl;dr
-Had iPod linux/appleOS/bootloader (worked fine but wanted rockbox)
-Restored useing iTunes
-Bootloader will not instal

EDIT:
Yes I tried with it set in disc mode.

LambdaCalculus:
Did you run either RBUtil or iPodpatcher with administrative rights? That's needed for raw disk access.

epicelite:
Yea only one account on my computer.  :P

EDIT: My friend suggested I format the iPod and install rockbox before I restore it again.

Worked great!

Now how do I put music on it?  :-\

Both Rockbox Utility and ipodpatcher should give a warning if the permissions aren't sufficient (at least Rockbox Utility, not 100% sure if an updated ipodpatcher was released after changing that).

Regardless I'm wondering why epicelite has to hide his username from the screenshots ...

Cus it is my real name.  ;D

Also it stopped working again, I formatted the HDD. Installed rockbox+bootlader and it said everything went fine.

Then I played with rockbox for a bit and turned the iPod off.

Turned it back on and!?

APPLE OS!?

WTF? It doesn't even have the option to choose what OS I want and I had formatted the HDD so how did apple OS get back on there!?
