Problems installing Rockbox

<< < (2/3) > >>

gringogreaves:
Hello saratoga and thank you once again for getting back to me. It is much appreciated.

You are right by the way, I do indeed need a mac version.

I managed to get onto the following link via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (otherwise unable to connect; server DNS address cannot be found) https://files.freemyipod.org/~user890104/bootloader-ipodclassic.html

I am able to navigate the site, but when I click on the download link I require (or nay of the donwnload links on that page) it comes out with "Failed - No file"  :(

gringogreaves:
UPDATE: I was able to download the file off a friend's PC just a few moments ago with no problems at all, although I am still not able to even get into the freemyipod site from my mac, let alone download anything from there. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about this?...

In any case, I feel I now have everything I need to proceed with installation.

Thank you once again, saratoga

Hello again,

I finally managed to follow all the steps within the installation process summary (on my mac).
It seemed to go smoothly right until the end, and got to the following stage in my Terminal window:

mks5lboot Version fb1b604-170227

I should now have Rockbox installed on my Ipod, but it still isn't showing up on my device.
I tried rebooting but it still starts up with the original Apple software.

Any advice will again be greatly appreciated. I feel I am nearly there...

gringogreaves:
Hi, I tried the installation procedure again and managed to get to the end this time.

However, on my Ipod screen it now reads:

Rockbox boot loader
Version: 1.0
Battery status ok: 40474 mV
Loading Rockbox...
Error!
Can't load rockbox.ipod:
Bad checksum

Entering USB mode...
Bootlaoder USB mode

I've managed to get it into "USB keypad Mode: Multimedia" and there is a graphic of a USB cable connection on the screen

However, if I go into my Ipod via my Mac Finder, I see there are 4 folders: "Claenders", "Contacts", "Notes" and "Recordings".

I guess I can find out how to start using it myself, but I just wanted to know if I was on the right track or not and if there is something I need to know...

gringogreaves:
Hi, don't worry about replying.

A simple reboot seems to have sorted everything and I worked out from reading the FAQ that you just create a folder and drag your music files into that

Seems to be working fine now!

Very pleased.

Thanks for all your help saratoga
