Need Help W/ Video ipod Bootloader Installation.ipodpatcher wont read bootloader
zombieplasticclock:
Alright, I'm almost done installing Rockbox on my video ipod (I have the device number, backed up original firmware, extracted files, ect.). However, When I go to install the bootloader, Command prompt (I use a Windows XP) tells me that it cant read my bootloader and that it failed. I KNOW I'm putting in the right code:
C:\rockbox\ipodpatcher 1 -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod
It started to install the bootloader, but then it said that it couldn't be read. If anyone has any advice, please say somthing. I'm completely stuck
linuxstb:
If you type "dir" (without the quotes) at the command line, does bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod appear in the list of files?
If so, what is the exact error message ipodpatcher is displaying?
zombieplasticclock:
It starts to install the bootloader (Identifying my ipod video, showing amount of space bootloader uses, ect.). However, it just says that it can't be read, then that installing the bootloader failed.
By the way, can you be a little more specific on the "dir'' thing you mentioned. I'm not good with command prompt, or with guessing code.
linuxstb:
You still haven't given me the exact error message. Using words like "it" doesn't help either...
By typing "dir", I mean literally that - press D, then I, then R, then ENTER.
I'm guessing you are not running ipodpatcher from the same directory as you saved the bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod file in. You need to follow the instructions precisely.
zombieplasticclock:
ok...
1st: I'm not on my computer. I'm using my school's computer during free time in my extra cirricular. That's why I cant say EXACTLY what the error said.
2ond: If ipodpatcher is in the wrong directory, how could I back up the firmware, and find the device number of my ipod.
3rd: When I'm asking what you ment by dir, I ment code that I can use in command prompt.
Can anyone help me out please? the problem is the bootloader
