Uninstalling ipod video 30gb unsuccesful

Hello, I wonder if you could help me with a problem I came up with while uninstalling rockbox from a 30GB ipod video. I used the Rockbox utility, then the "Complete uninstallation" option (not the bootloader). It finished succesfully,  then this text appeared in the ipod:

"Rockbox bootloader
Version 3.0
IPOD version: 0x000B0011
TOSHIBA MK3008GAL
Partition 1:0x0b 28521 MB
Loading Rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
File not found
Hold MENU+SELECT to reboot
then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode"
 
And when I press MENU+SELECT, it does nothing. So I can't do nothing with the device

I uninstalled rockbox just after installing it, because the scroll didn't work very well, and the select button didn't work at all.

Anybody could help me? Thank you very much

Note: select button worked with ipod original firmware

The bootloader hasn't been removed.  I think rbutil should do this, try just uninstalling the bootloader.

If you don't care about the music on there, an alternative option is to do an itunes restore.  It'll wipe your music but also remove the rockbox bootloader.

Thank you for your response.

I've tried to remove the bootloader, but i can't, because in this state, the device doesn't connect to the computer

I'm going to try the itunes restore

edit: nope... itunes restore doesn't work either, the device doesn't appear...

torne:
Follow the instructions it gives you on the screen to enter disk mode, and then it will connect to the computer. You can then uninstall the bootloader. The disk mode is implemented by Apple in the ROM of the device so it always works.

Rockbox Utility doesn't uninstall the bootloader automatically. It might be worth considering to change this, or at least show it as an option in the uninstall window. Hopefully I'll get around reworking the installation window soon, as that would also help in reworking the uninstallation dialog.
