How to install rockbox on a iPod Classic 160GB?

[php111]

Hey!

I am new to the forums! I never used rockbox before.

I have the iPod Classic 160GB and the model is MC297LL. How do I install rockbox on this model?

Thank you!

I've been trying all morning to get it set up on mine. Windows won't install a driver for it in DFU mode though..

What tutorial/guide was you following to set it up if you don't mind me asking?

Just follow the instructions: http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation/iPodClassic

Also not a bad idea to check this link: http://www.head-fi.org/t/532426/ipod-classic-rockbox-its-happening Specially if something goes wrong during the process.

Hinafu posted a link to a working Rockbox build in this post: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,48562.0.html

I also have a copy of the build from 2014-09-22, which I believe was the last working build for the 6G/7G iPod Classics.  If you want a copy of that build, PM me on this forum.

Hello,

Here is the PM I sent Nathan.


Thank you! I tried installing this and than I deleted the .rockbox folder and I copied/paste the .rockbox folder over the one from 2014-09-22 and than I ejected the iPod and on my iPod it says yes to reboot or no so I selected yes to reboot and than I received an error so at that point I didn't do anything more so I used iTunes and did a restore.

I think it would be helpful to supply the error you received.  I won't be able to help with that, but maybe a developer could pick it up and identify the problem.
