Unable to install Rockbox on 80gb IPod Video

<< < (2/2)

mullenkamp:
I tried a different USB cable and it did not make any difference. I also tried it on a friend's computer and it still made no difference.
Sounds like no one ever had this problem before...

evilnick:
Can you try connecting the ipod when the OF is running?
By default RB is set up to be able to boot to either the OF or RB, there are instructions in the manual to achieve this.
There's also the emergency disk mode, which can be accessed by following the steps here: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodFAQ#How_do_I_restore_my_broken_iPod

If you can't make a USB connection while the OF is running, then I'd assume that it's a hardware issue.

mullenkamp:
Thanks Evilnick.
I loaded the Ipod in the original firmware, connected it to my computer, and miraculously it worked! Of course I instantly installed the newest version of Rockbox and everything seems normal now.
So if anybody has trouble connecting Rockbox to the computer, it seems like a good idea to boot it in the OF.

Thanks again.
