iPod Nano 4GB 1st gen won't open rockbox and isn't recognized by windows

<< < (2/2)

Percyneto:
I'm with the same problem.

My iPod worked well with Rockbox for a while, then my pc restarted when the ipod was connected and bang, don't worked anymore.

After that, seems like the system is corrupted, but until now the only answer i get is: "If you're certain you've done everything right, and the emergency disk mode still won't work, then the player is probably broken."

Which makes no sense, cuz the native (apple) still playing musics.

Still trying fix it, and i will give "UP" to your post, so he can reach the front page.

If the Apple firmware works, then clearly the device isn't broken.  Can you just use the Apple firmware for USB?

Edit:  Also, in the last thread you said you had a Nano 1G, not a 2G.

Well, he plays music as well ,  but the windows don't recognizes it (tested on win10, 8.1, 8, 7, vista).

Not in "apple" mode (when i'm playing music) " ooorrrr in disk mode.

The disk mode say "ok to disconnect" but my computer say "unknow usb device".

i can't understand why the corruption of rockbox files it's blocking the apple firmware operations.

I miss the freedom given by rockbox :(

May a Linux recognize the ipod??

Obs.: by the way, i meaned it, same problem, different devices. thanks for remember

Ok I moved your post into the thread about the 1G.

Anyway, the Apple disk mode on the 1G does not depend on the internal storage or any part of the hardware/software that you can modify.  It will even work with a completely blank storage device, so whatever the problem you're having, it's not due to corruption or something like that.  I'd double check that its not a problem with your PC, the cable you're using, the USB connector on your player, etc.

Well, my iPhone and my iPad don't have any problems with connection, so i imagined that the problem isn't with the PC or the cable.

Well, i tried to clean that yesterday, and the sad face appeared --' but isn't there anymore. Maybe the problem is with the dock connector, but was working well until  rockbox crash.

I have other 3 cables (2 originals and 1 monster) will try them when get home.

if you have any news about the resolution of the problem with the iPod nano 2g, please update me.
