bootloader.bin
« on: May 23, 2006, 07:08:05 AM »
Hi,
I am currently trying to uninstall rocbox from my bro's 5g ipod. and I read in the ipod installation instructions that I would need the original bootloader.bin that it instructs you to save, to remove rocbox. I recenly did a reinstallation on my PC and I know I had saved it on a DVD somewhere but I cant seem to find it...

was wondering if someone could upload the original Bootloader.bin from their Ipod 5g install.
Its like 40 megs so you could use a free file hosting site like, http://www.filefactory.com/ , www.megaupload.com , or www.rapidshare.com. thnx

Or you can backup your files on there, grab apples ipod update utility and restore...

I would suggest "update" rather than "restore".  Update will re-format the firmware partition and re-load the apple bootloader/firmware without erasing your files.

Just as a note, the file you should save is "bootpartition.bin" (for future reference)
