Revert ipod nano 2G install
« on: August 16, 2012, 07:47:06 AM »

Hi all,
  I had the 3.9 release on my nano 2G working fine and I was able to mount and unmount - rockbox booted without any problem.

 Unfortunately , I upgraded to the last , unstable ,release using Rockbox utility 1.2.14 (53c6baba-120814)

  now, I got a "panic" error when mounting under rockbox.
 
   As mentioned in the wiki , the only way to upload contents is to boot apple firmware and mount ipod. Okay.

 now I am unable to revert to 3.9 because rockbox utility force download of the last version ( wich is unstable for me).
   I cannot install manually any other release and I haven't found how to force utility to unstall another version .
 And obviosly I cannot install manually rockbox files .

 I am stuck...
 
 Thank you

How is that obvious? You need to install 3.10 (or 3.9 if you like) manually...

Because not, sorry I wasn't clear , when I boot up rockbox and connect/mount my Ipod , I got a "panic" error on the ipod and the rockbox volume is not monted.

 When I boot up apple firmware I only "see" , after monting apple volume and directories but not rockbox folders (backdrops  database.ignore  fonts  rockbox-info.txt  tagnavi.config  wps)

 So what I had misunderstood in manual installation ?

USB doesn't work in the build you have, so you get a panic.  Just boot into the Apple firmware and manually install (that means download and copy) rockbox 3.10.

Rockbox was stable on the Nano2G for quite some time, it was only fairly recenlt demoted to unstable due to USB issues.
If someone fixes this, then it will be promoted again.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.
