Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility

Installation failure on ipod 5.5 gen

<< < (2/2)

bebber:
I previously reformatted the ipod and re-installed the Apple firmware after my first attempt to install Rockbox. That worked fine. Now with Loader2 I can select Apple firmware and that also still works fine.

Just to check, the .rockbox folder is meant to go into the main partition? The other smaller partition is where the Apple firmware is?

I will wipe the whole lot and re-install the Apple firmware, then try again with the Rockbox utility.

Sadly I only know one language and its not the one used for Rockbox, otherwise I'd gladly look into the code!

Oh, so you're asking about loader2 rather then our bootloader?  You'd probably have to try and track down one of its developers (or I guess look through the code).  To be honest I'm not sure if its still possible to use rockbox with loader2.  AFAIK that code hasn't been updated in many years.

Not really. The bootloader completely failed to find .rockbox, as I mentioned in my opening post.

I tried Loader2 because a post on another forum had mentioned it worked when bootloader didn't. Loader 2 seems at least to give some choices, though the Rockbox installation doesn't work.

I may try again to reinstall everything.

Is this a 80GB ipod? Did you reformat before installing? If so, which tools did you use?
