Help! Installation mucks up iPod Video!

(1/2) > >>

I have an iPod video 30GB (NOT the late 2006 version). I've tried about 10 times now to install rockbox on it, but every time i try, it corrupts the firmware and it tells me to restore it using iTunes. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

Febs:
Could you provide some more information, like exactly what steps you have taken, and at what point in the installation process you run into difficulty?

alecjw:
I get up to stage 3 in this guide: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromLinux and then my iPod restarts and gives me this screen: http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/51/3039151158784363/www.info.apple.com/images/kbase/303915/303915_1.jpg

When I restore the original iPod firmware with tis code, it's fine again:

--- Code: ---dd if=bootpartition.bin of=/dev/sda1
--- End code ---

Llorean:
Okay, saying you get "to stage 3" is vague. I assume you mean "step" 3, as that's a simple assumption, but I can't assume how much of it you do, exactly which file you download, and whether you mean "I get to the beginning of the step" or "I complete the step" by "get to".

I also don't know if you rand ./ipod_fw twice with both sets of arguments necessary, as you're supposed to with a 5G, because that page doesn't make it wholly clear that you are supposed to.

alecjw:
Sorry, I meant that i got to the end of stage 3:

--- Code: ---dd if=rockboot.bin of=/dev/sda1
--- End code ---
and then when I unplugged the iPod, it gave me that screen. I extracted the Broadcom video stuff, like it suggested:

--- Code: ---/ipod_fw -o apple_sw_5g_rcsc.bin -e 1 bootpartition.bin
--- End code ---
Instead of:

--- Code: ---./ipod_fw -g nano -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-nano.bin
--- End code ---
I did this, with bootloader-video.bin in the same directory:

--- Code: ---./ipod_fw -g video -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-video.bin
--- End code ---

I completed step 4, but it didn't make any difference.
