iPod Photo: Error! Can't load rockbox.ipod

(1/2) > >>

Dweezil:
iPod Photo A1099

This is the Error Message:

Rockbox Boot Loader
Version: v4.0
IPOD version: 0x00060000
TOSHIBA MK3006GAL
Partition1: 0x0C 58524795 sectors
Loading Rockbox...
Length: A8F6C
Checksum: 42FBF50
Model name: ipco
Loading rockbox.ipod
Sum: 42fbb54
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
Bad Checksum
Insert USB cable, or
hold MENU+SELECT to reboot
then SELECT+PLAY for disk mode

I perform the requested reboot and all is well. I let the ipod sit till automatic shut down occurs. Turn on ipod and all is well. Let it sit over night and I get the same error message. Reboot and all is fine...etc ad infinitum.

This has happened to the last 10 iPod Photo's that Rockbox has been installed on.

I've searched this problem and find only that "You've Not installed Rockbox Successfully" and "Just do a reboot as instructed"

I'm using Windows7 64bit

I tried the following:
Reinstall Rockbox
Restore from iTunes
Reformat Hard Drive
Check File System [No Errors Found]

Zero issues found when using OF

A small difference like this usually means you installed a rockbox build for the wrong device

Dweezil:
Rockbox Utility: Auto Detect shows:

Ipod Color / Photo / U2 (4th gen) (Stable)

This is the only Option for iPod Photo

I then Auto Install this version

What am I doing wrong?

Thank You for the Help

bluebrother:
Post the output of the Help / Troubleshooting / System Info dialog in Rockbox Utility while the Ipod is connected.
