iPod Classic 6G 160GB - Utility doesn't recognise DFU mode

(1/1)

FlyingCheese:
Hi all, I tried searching for an answer but I haven't found one. I am trying to install Rockbox on a totally stock iPod classic 6th gen. I grabbed both the beta and stable versions from https://files.freemyipod.org/%7Euser890104/bootloader-ipodclassic.html. Neither one works, both with the same error:

I set the correct mountpoint, it can even autodetect the iPod (once I check Show disabled targets). I check Bootloader, Rockbox, and fonts and hit Install. It ejects the iPod, waits for HDD spin-down, prompts me to hold Select + Menu to enter DFU mode, I do so, iPod enters DFU mode, nothing happens. RB Utility just gets stuck at 40%, waiting for DFU mode that the iPod is clearly in. After a while the iPod pops back out of DFU mode and shows the "Connected: Eject before disconnecting" screen. What is going on? I'm running windows 10 if that matters. Thanks!

Bump with update: Tried it on another Windows 10 machine, same problem. Are these builds of the utility incompatible with 10?

They work for me on w10.

Other than that, no idea.  Hardware issue?  The ipod or the cable?  ITunes interfering in some way?

(Does windows device manager show a dfu device when its connected in that mode? i.e. regardless of Rockbox utility, does windows pick it up at all?)

Are you positive you're killing any and all Apple/iTunes processes before attempting installation?
