Installation help
« on: July 25, 2006, 09:06:26 PM »
I have an iPod Color and was trying to install the Rockbox bootloader.  I got up to step "d.1) (All users INCLUDING Video/5G) Extract the Apple firmware from your firmware partition image" and it said that "IPOD_FW is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."  Anyone know what went wrong with my install and how to fix it?

I'm assuming you are using Windows, and not installing RockBox after ipodlinux.  If not ignore the rest.

Did you download "ipod_fw.exe" (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/pub/Main/IpodInstallation/ipod_fw.exe)?

Did steps 1a, 2b, and 1c.1 complete successfully?

No, I didn't download that, thanks.  It wasn't listed on the installation page...at least not that I saw it only said to download "ipodpatcher.exe" and "bootloader-color.bin"

...then again, I've been known to be blind.  Thanks again.

On the official IpodInstallation page it does say to download ipod_fw.exe, it's the third thing in the list of required files.
