IPOD (ALL MODELS) iFlash Adapter Issues [SOLVED!?]
dragonaut:
Okay, so I cleaned the connectors with a dry cloth and checked the SD cards, everything looked fine to me. Still got an error message:
*PANIC*
dc_writeback_callback () - Could not write sector 17
1372 (error -2147483641) [the errorcode is the same, the sector is different]
pc: 0806fcb0
sp: 08130ab0
bt end
No, I have a regular sized battery installed. I'm thinking about checking each SD one after another, maybe CHKDSK will work with that. Maybe even use another iflash quad. Any other ideas?
Frankenpod:
Yeah, all I can think of is to check each card - individually via a card-reader (not checking them while they are in the ipod, not sure that works - I think the ipod doesn't present the storage in a direct way to the PC, not that I really understand what goes on there, especially with an iflash). Are the cards all the same brand/type? Changing the order of them might help, but best to first establish if any are actually faulty.
[of course, checking them each for faults is an unbearably time-consuming and tedious process, but if the drive cable isn't the problem I don't have any other ideas...I really would have suspected the connection 'twixt the drive cable and the iFlash, though, pretty sure that's what's been the issue when I had that error.]

Hi all,
I've been really banging my head against the wall getting my iPod with iFlash to work. I know there's some instability with the adapter boards but I've seen that a lot of it has been resolved if you're using SD cards. I ended up using a different iFlash boards and I can't get it to work at all. Is this an issue with something I've done or is it just not well supported yet? I'm using the iFlash sata v10 and I've tried stable, Dev, and latest vers8ons, all with a similar result. Majority of the time it doesn't load up and corrupts itself and the firmware has to be reinstalled. Sometimes I get it to load but listing files causing a kernel panic and subsequent corruption. If I get get it working, applying a theme causes the crash and corruption. Premaking the database doesn't seem to impact anything.

So I did some testing, changed the cards and the iflash and still the same error. Then I changed the connector to a different one and that seems to have been the trick. Most of the time it works fine now. Occasionaly it crashes (freezes or I get the same panic message), but in my week of testing I got definitly better results than before, so thank you for your hint! I'll keep testing and may report back in a few weeks!

Hi,
First-time poster, Long time lurker 8)
I have read so many posts and encountered so much contradictive information I am lost.
I have a 7 gen classic (MC293LL) with a mSata flash (zif ide -> msata & msata -> sd )mod that after many trials and errors understood it does not work,
I get error -2147483605 on boot. I gave up on that adapter.
Now I want to buy the iFlash SOLO I read this thread and others but could not find recent evidence this combo works.
Is there anyone here with a 7th gen (160gb) and iFlash solo that managed to load rockbox?
Thanks in advance.
