Rockbox won't load at startup

[Timoha]

Hello everyone! Requesting for help.

iPod 4g/Grayscale

I did all the steps according the manual, including step # 6
(Install the Rockbox-enabled firmware)

Then uploaded Rockbox firmware to the root of my iPod.

So, when I unplug the cable my iPod goes to constant reboot (apple picture, backlight, and over again). Or it just freezes.  Pressing menu+select makes Apple firmware to load. Works ok. But Rockbox won't load anyway.
I tryed to use IPL Loader. It installed just fine, but when I choose to load rocjbox it gived me error: "invalid model"

Can anybody help?

Were there any messages right before it rebooted when using the Rockbox loader?

well, that's a problem! NO MESSAGES... no matter - mith uploaded rockbox firmware or not.

it either goes to Apple OS or freezes

So, it didn't show the Rockbox bootloader text at all?

no it didn't!

[Llorean]

All you got was the Apple logo? It sounds like you didn't properly install the Rockbox bootloader, or installed the wrong one. Guessing from the fact that the linux loader is giving you errors about the iPod version, are you 100% certain you have a 4G Grayscale?

[Timoha]

hm..
well, its got pink case, grayscale display and dock-connector
what could that be?

[Llorean]

Seeing as only the iPod Minis had pink colored cases as far as I'm aware, you probably have a 1st or 2nd generation iPod mini.

[Timoha]

Yes, its MINI.... but what about dock-connecor? i though only 4g's got??

[Llorean]

There is no 4G mini. There are only two generation of the iPod mini.

That's it!
I've been stupid. Addmit it ))
Thanx for waisting your time on me))
