Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility
bootloader won't install on ipod 4gen grey
bluebrother:
What Ipod does Rockbox Utility detect when you run autodetection?
linuxstb:
The message to insert firewire is only displayed in the bootloader on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation ipods - so you definitely do not have a 4th gen.
I _think_ that the 3rd gen was the first to have the dock connector, so if your iPod Classic cable works with it, then it's a 3rd gen.
Also, ipodpatcher should have displayed your ipod model before it installed the bootloader - run it again to check.

Thanks alot!!!! I was so sure it was a 4th gen as the guy who gave it to me said so...Sorry about that it is 3gen. And now I got Rockboxinstalled! But now my computer can't find it! It doesn't show up and no drive letter??? What to do? Really happy for all help on this!
torne:
Rockbox doesn't support USB on the 3rd generation iPod. Either use a Firewire cable, or reboot into the Apple firmware to use USB.

Thanks! Then I will need to get andaptor or another firewirecabel since my computer only have 4pol firewire ? Will it work then?
