You said in your first post that the original firmware doesn't work either - is that now working?

I went through the installation instructions from the new procedure. Used the latest (19/12/2006) build. After installation of the bootloader, RockBox boots fine, but I cannot boot into the Apple firmware at all.
When the hold button is on, I get the "booting into original firmware" message, then the process halts and the system reboots. This cycles if the hold button is kept on, and boots into RockBox if the hold button is off (not surprisingly).
It seems like the original firmware is not accessible to the bootloader, and when it is not found, it just reboots.
Just in case this is needed: I have a 20 GB, 4th Gen greyscale iPod. I use it on a mac, but it is Windows formatted.

same problem here (Firmware 1.4.1 iPod Mini)
linuxstb:
In order to test if the problem is with the bootloader itself, or with the new ipodpatcher installation method, could someone who is experiencing a failure to load the original firmware try installing the old version of the bootloader using the new ipodpatcher installation method?
The old bootloaders in the ".ipod" format required by ipodpatcher can be found here:
4G (Greyscale) - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloader-ipod4g-old.ipod
1st Gen Mini - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloader-mini1g-old.ipod
2nd Gen Mini - http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/bootloader-mini2g-old.ipod
Note that these bootloaders require you to hold MENU whilst booting to start the original firmware.
Thanks.
