Frequently iPod+RB wont' boot up

<< < (2/2)

torne:
You don't mean PROM, as that's write-once. It's just flash, and yes, you can reflash it with anything you want to, should you feel the need. We don't have any code to do this, though, because there is no recovery mechanism: if you flash it with something bad, then your iPod will never work again.

We don't know what the actual bug in the boot code is, so there's no fix there. The belief that there's a bug is a presumption only, based on reports that this sometimes happens to people using the OF as well; we're pretty sure there must be a bug in the boot code, but there's no specific bit of code we can point to and say "there it is"..

Clear.

OK, as the problem is well-known by the developers - the rest is their actions.... :) I'll be waiting for next RB's releases, and hopefully the bug will be fixed/walked around soon. Crossing my fingers and wish you good luck, and wanna offer some help but have no any ideas yet, except to be a beta-tester. :)

You may close this thread. Thanks bro.
