Having trouble installing on 5g video
Llorean:
You haven't actually shut down the iPod, which kinda makes it impossible for it to boot into Rockbox, because the only way to leave the Apple firmware is to either
A) change the firmware partition (forces a reboot)
B) let your iPod sit for a few days so it goes into "deep" sleep
C) Menu+Select
Casej:
Well i just wiped the whole thing ( all my music wasnt in apple either and hit panic butten 5 mins ago) If i start from new i take it when i finish extracting rockbox into the ipod i hold those buttons and that boots it in there?
Llorean:
Hold Menu+Select until the screen clears and then an Apple logo shows. Then let go, and it should show the Rockbox bootloader, and then if Rockbox is extracted properly, boot Rockbox.
Seriously though, in the future, if you ask for help you shouldn't just go off and do random things while waiting for a response. It often will just mean that it'll take longer to resolve your problem.
Casej:
Thanks a ton, Im sorry i didnt mean any disrespect. It was just one of those oh shit i f'd up lol. So after i extract rockbox then i reboot? just making sure this time around ;D
Llorean:
Actually, the *best* way to do it, is right after doing the "ipodpatcher N -w rockboot.bin" step, before disconnecting, copy everything over.
But any time you go into the Apple firmware, you'll have to do the Menu+Select reboot to get back to Rockbox.
