Nano 2G requires "restore" every time after file transfer

<< < (2/2)

reydarz:
Happened to me today, i'd recommend using disk mode for file transfers until rockbox is a bit more stable

twilightened:
Is there any progress about this issue ? Just tried r23377, and restoring it again.

Edit: The only temporary solution is to turn on ipod as in disk mode, and copy files this way. It works. When copying files, or doing any activity in flash drive while rockbox is on, ends up in a requirement of restore.

Tosol:
have the same problem :(
and after that message only re-installing rockbox can helped? home+select won't work :(

Follow instructions exactly including toggling hold

To everyone who got Rockbox working on the iPod Nano 2G - Thank you!

This is amazing. The main thing I wanted to do was play Flac and it works!

Main problem:  When I try to connect the ipod Nano 2G (8gb) at first it shows up properly as "myiPod".
But after about 10-15 seconds, the drive goes away and it comes back with the same drive letter.
But the drive has 0 bytes available and the directory is empty. So I can't copy anything to it.

I'm using the latest build r23617-091111
I've tried enabling and disabling USB HID and the same thing happens either way.

If I go to disk mode as the previous comment linked to, I can transfer files to the ipod fine.

Its a real hassle going into disk mode though.
Another method that works is:
Rebooting into the normal iPod Mode by turning off turning on and using the hold key right away. Then connect to USB in normal iPod mode.
This way, the "myiPod" disappears and comes back as a generic drive but I can still use it normally.

Ah, I just found the bug report forum. Seems like this problem was reported:
FS#10713 - can't mount nano 2g in xp, after r23288
But the last comment there says the latest build fixed it. I'm still seeing the problem in an even later build...

Hopefully the USB bug can be squashed.

Thanks again for making this possible!
