iPod Classic 6thGen 160Gb with iFlash-Quad problem with installation

<< < (2/3) > >>

GreyBeast:
tonibordallo, I'm having similar issues with what appears to be the same model iPod. What's the status of your installation?

tonibordallo:
well, I simply had to get over with it.
It seems that not many people here bother much in resolving the bugs in the iPod anyway.
It is sad, bc i really would like to have an alternative to that, but if it doenst work, they don't care about bug fixing anyway...

GreyBeast:
Gotcha, OK. Well, I'm still in the midst of trying to get this solved, so you might want to stay in the picture.

Can you, at least, revert back to the Apple OS? If not, but you want to, check this out, it worked perfectly for me:

Maybe this isn't the answer you want to hear, but you have bought an adapter that isn't compatible with rockbox. I think the only solutions are to either buy a compatible adapter, use the Apple firmware, or reverse engineer whatever is in the adapter you have and then write or adapt a driver to work with it.

GreyBeast:
saratoga, I've understood you so far. I know my options. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to manipulate either the ATA drivers, nor the adapter.

And yet, there's still a chance to swap logic boards, as I stated earlier, turning the 6g (hopefully) into a 7g, as all other parts seem interchangeable, as far as I could research. It, too, might not work with Rockbox, but I'll be able to use it as a "regular/Apple OS" iPod, while being able to use more than just 128gb storage.

When I wrote I'm still trying to solve the problem, I meant I'm trying to find out if it's as simple as swapping logic boards, that's all.

By the way, I could be wrong, but using the installer in my reply #7 AND transferring the music files in Linux, as opposed to Windows, is running pretty smoothly, actually. No glitches thus far.
