Boot original firmware by default?

(1/1)

hydroxide:
Currently I have rockbox booting by default with an option to boot into the Apple firmware by sliding the hold switch during boot (nano 1g). Is there a way to reverse this so that the Apple firmware boots by default and I can boot into rockbox by sliding the hold switch? Thanks :)

saratoga:
You'd have to edit the bootloader to reverse the check on some if statement.  Have you searched?  Maybe someone has already done it.

bluebrother:
There is not much point in reversing the boot order. If you boot into the Apple firmware it doesn't turn off but only enters a sleep mode. This means that you have to reset the Ipod to reboot into Rockbox. And when resetting the Ipod it doesn't make much difference in which case you flip the hold switch -- if you had booted Rockbox before and don't do anything you stay using Rockbox, and if you used the Apple firmware you stay in the Apple firmware until the next forced reset.
