Hello, thank you so much for replying and for offering some help, it sounds like you have a lot of experience with this.

Device uses original HDD.
As mentioned the Apple FW was installed and worked.
Was originally going to try dual boot but then decided to just try single boot.
I tried many things to get the "single boot" mode to work, similar results did not seem like the device was getting detected.  I ended up deleting some content off the device to see if I could get single mode to work but did not work out.
After doing this, luckily I had the guide you provided to restore the device.
The link you mentioned that requires compiling is probably too complicated for me but I was able to figure out the kimiblock link to restore the device.

Thank you for providing this, I had never seen that page before, that is a good find :)

Hi I'll only be able to respond properly to you in a few weeks, I'm not near my gear now so I can't properly test let alone remember.

All I know is I never needed to run the command you speak of. All the iPods I have set up are rockbox only. I was only ever successful at getting Dual boot to work with the original HDD and not with my CF cards. But I'm only working away with rockbox only on CF cards so for me the issue is irrelevant.

Question: You mentioned you're running Linux debian, which build exactly? I remember when I was working through ott.net's thorough blog I wasn't able to compile properly on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS because of some incompatible libraries. So I needed to go back to Ubuntu 22.04. That also applied I believe to even getting the ipod to be read by my OS. For instance it wouldn't even sync properly. I'd be able to give you a more thorough answer but as I said I'm not near any of my gear.

Have you tried getting something like gtkpod to work at all?
Cheers

No problem.
I was actually able to try other devices I had access to and I have been able to get this to work a few times with them already.
So I think I have the hang of it now.
Thank you again for those links that was something I was looking for/trying to figure out as well, the guides you provided were very helpful.
Thanks again for your replying at all
