Lost Rockbox Capabilities on Upgrade of Compact Flash

<< < (2/3) > >>

Not quite sure what a flex cable is, but all I did was move the compact flash / hard drives around from one IPOD to the other.

Other news. I found a YouTube video that recommended putting the IPOD into disk mode while attached to a wall charger. That helped with the appearing and disappearing of the d: drive. So I now can get a steady IPOD d: drive in Windows, but it still is not recognized / acknowledged by iTunes.

I remembered I had a compact flash USB reader, so I was able to offload all my files from the 32gb CF, and I was able to upload up a good 32gb image I had onto the 128gb CF. The 128gb shows up as formatted in exFAT in Windows Logical Disk Manager, as it should.

So I assume the drives are good. I can load up all the files needed on each drive (including hidden files). My guess is there something flashed into the IPOD EPROMs getting in the way of my success.

Thoughts?

You have formatted the CF as EXFAT, but it should be formatted as FAT32.

rko31415:
The 32gb CF and the 4gb drive were FAT32 ... but just to be thorough I found a utility (fat32format.exe) that allowed me to format the 128gb as FAT32. No joy. But things are going downhill fast. I can't get any of these drives to even go into disk mode at this point.

When it's clear things are getting worse I know it's time to just step away.

I have another used IPOD mini en route from ebay. Let's see what happens.

I'm pretty sure I used to just do a manual firmware restore and let the original firmware set the disk up.

Saint. Do you have a link showing the steps needed for a manual firmware restore? Recall I can't get to these drives except through my CF USB reader.
