Rudegar I doubt your iPod is Bricked. Tell us your results when you finally manage to make it work.

I will mention this again, there are no officially bricked units from Rockbox. So I doubt that yours will be first. So be calm.

I will change the topic's subject once you post back, this title is misleading and can make people scared.

Hi. I had the same problem.

I suspected that it had something to do with letting rockbox drain the Ipod's battery totally.

And so, I plucked it in where it decided to restart again and again.
Then I rebooted it into diskmode thinking that it would be fine and take power with no problem. But after abit, it started to reboot repeatedly again.
Therefore while it booted up, I forced it to restart and therefore broke the cycle.

I solved it like that. Sounds pretty unorthodox but it might work for you.

Hello everybody, I haven't been able to restore the iPod since my last post.

I've read the discussion, I believe I have a different problem. Here is what I experience:

1) it was restarting again and again. firstly only with apple logo and support screen /!\. Later the disk mode turned on as well ("Do not disconnect") but it kept restarting and beeping every restart with a backlit flashing. This lasted until i reset it using menu+centre.

2) then it restarted into the disk mode (with with "OK to disconnect" and "low battery" screens switching) after a while it showed the battery with a flash picture. (the battery level is just the lowest.) However after cca 5 minutes it just restarted by itself.

3) The apple logo showed up and the player booted into the disk mode - it showed "Do not disconnect" but suddenly after it changed to "OK to disconnect". The battery indicator was showing the battery was completely dead. The Nano stayed in this state for about 20 minutes after which it went back to No. 2)

Why doesn't it connect to the computer? Is it because of the discharged battery? Would it help me if I'd get an outlet charger? Thx.

XavierGr:
I suggest all of you, that encounter the so-called "brick" phenomenon, take some time at  #rockbox IRC channel and discuss the probelm in detail.

Then after you make sure that you didn't brake it, or it wasn't a mere hardware failure post back to further discuss it or finally call it a "brick".

Until then please don't scare away the new users.... (topic title edited)
