Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility

Problem installing to iPod Photo

(1/1)

BeachBumDeac:
I've been trying to install Rockbox onto my old iPod Photo. I went through the Rockbox utility, and thought I had it installed. However, anytime I start up my ipod, I get a black screen with white text that reads:

Rockbox boot loader
Version 3.0
IPOD version 0x00060000
TOSHIBA MK2006GAL
Partition 1; 0x0B 19030 MB
Loading Rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod;
File not found
Hold MENU+SELECT to reboot
then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode



And that's it. When I try to reboot it into disk mode (using those instructions), it goes right back to that black screen. Also, when its plugged into my computer, it's not recognized (even in Disk Utility) as a disk. So my ipod is basically a useless brick.

What can I do?

saratoga:
Sounds like rbutil somehow didn't copy the .rockbox folder to your player, or else something went wrong with that folder thats preventing the bootloader from seeing it.

Reboot into disk mode like the message says (Apple has more detailed instructions if you need them), then check if the .rockbox folder is there.

BeachBumDeac:
OK, finally got it to boot into disk mode and get it connected to my computer after quite a few tries. Once it was recognized by my computer, I opened up the rbutilqt program and found the ipod as my mountpoint. I uninstalled rockbox from it, and then did the Quick Start installation to it to try again. During the Progress, right after "Installing Rockbar bootloader" there was "Could Not open Ipod." Here is the saved log... oh, and it's doing the same thing with the black screen and that message again after this as well.

--- Quote from: BeachBumDeac on October 16, 2009, 08:00:55 AM ---OK, finally got it to boot into disk mode and get it connected to my computer after quite a few tries. Once it was recognized by my computer, I opened up the rbutilqt program and found the ipod as my mountpoint. I uninstalled rockbox from it, and then did the Quick Start installation to it to try again. During the Progress, right after "Installing Rockbar bootloader" there was "Could Not open Ipod." Here is the saved log... oh, and it's doing the same thing with the black screen and that message again after this as well.
--- End quote ---

You're experiencing a known issue: during installation of the bootloader the Ipod needs to get unmounted. This is done automatically, but unfortunately there's currently no handling of this -- Rockbox Utility would need to wait for the system to remount the player and afterwards check if the mountpoint is still correct. This first part is something I've done a while ago, but as I don't have access to a Mac I have no idea if it's working correctly. My tests (on Linux) worked well, but that doesn't mean much. If you are able to build Rockbox Utility yourself I'd be really grateful if you could try that change and report back so we can actually include it -- given its working correctly. See http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/10100

Apart from that just follow the advice given in the wiki: don't use the Quick Start tab. See http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/RockboxUtility#Known_issues
