ipodpatcher firmware name(1g2g) doesn't match ipod model (nano)

(1/1)

Hi,

I was having all sorts of problems reinstalling my nano 1st gen.  I even stopped to run the flash driver tester to confirm I didn't have a bad piece of flash memory.  rbutil kept failing to install the bootloader, and rebooting would complain about a bad checksum in rockbox.ipod.

So I started the manual installation, in particular I was aiming for fast boot putting the rockbox.ipod file into the bootloader directly.  Here is what happens:

[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
[INFO] Read XML info (6209 bytes)
[INFO] Ipod found - 1st Generation Nano ("winpod") - disk device 1
[INFO] Reading partition table from \\.\PhysicalDrive1
[INFO] Sector size is 512 bytes

[INFO] Ipod model: 1st Generation Nano (32MB RAM) ("winpod")
[ERR]  Model name in input file (1g2g) doesn't match ipod model (nano)
[ERR]  --write-firmware failed.

Should I report this as a bug in the system?  It seems that the ipodpatcher validation code is out of sync with the released .ipod firmware files.

Thanks!

Your Ipod is a Nano 1st Gen. That's something completely different than an Ipod 1st Gen.

Which is quite clear as well. The input file's model is not correct, meaning that you're trying to install the wrong bootloader on the player.

We don't have a category for user errors, so please no. There is nothing out of sync, you need to use the correct bootloader file. If you do Rockbox Utility will also work. I suggest using its autodetection instead of selecting the model manually.

Sigh.


Thanks!
