Bootloader wont load Apple firmware

(1/4) > >>

whoak:
Hello, I used this guide http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationBeta to the tee for installation of Rockbox on my 2nd Gen. Mini.

The problem is it won't let me boot back into the Apple firmware. I know how to do it.. turn it on then lock, yet when it gets to the point where it says "Loading original firmware" it restarts and repeats itself over and over again.

Looks like this member is having the same problem too:

i followed the instructions but in the screen when appears "loading the original firmware" the ipod reboot and load rockbox instead of the original firmware

if i keep doing that the ipod reboot every time.

Should this be moved to the Apple forum for better responses?

heinimuecki:
that seems to be an general issue with some (all?) ipod-devices
and the new bootloader.
my ipod color didn't boot into original firmware also.

so i installed the loader 2 from ipodlinux

that gives me a bootmenu from where i can choose
which firmware to load

and it works fine since then

Can you install just the loader? or you have to install the whole fimrware in order to do that? I mean, to select with which firmware to load?
I didn't know that iPodlinux and RockBox could hang out in the same player.

heinimuecki:
i have just the loader installed, no ipodlinux.

my ipod color is fat32 formatted and with a
mikeage no frequency scaling build on it.

i also have an ipod mini 2g with a normal build on it (and the loader 2)

i installed the loader with the rockbox installer x, found in the ipodwizard forum,
it's not supportet here, i guess.
