Apple firmware updated - no rockbox on startup

<< < (2/2)

lalittle:
Does re-installing the apple firmware return the iPod to it's "Pre Rockbox" state, or is it more complicated than this?  Is this an effective method of "undoing" the rockbox installation, or is it better to use the files created during the Rockbox install to do this?  I'm just curious what's going on "under the hood."

Thanks,

Larry

L:
Updating effectively removes rockbox and installs the new Apple firmware back onto the firmware partition.

mnhnhyouh:
Well it overwrites the patched file. You would then need to remove the .rockbox folder, and rockbox.ipod file to have it completely gone.

Before I do something irrevocable, can someone tell me if this will work:
- update Apple firmware
- re-install rockbox with the installer

And nothing else?   Will I need to re-add the .rockbox folder and rockbox.ipod file?   And will doing this affect the other files (music, videos) on my ipod?

Llorean:
It should work, but there is NO official installer. Any use of an installer to install Rockbox is *not* supported by us.
