Need Help W/ Video ipod Bootloader Installation.ipodpatcher wont read bootloader

<< < (2/5) > >>

Llorean:
The problem is not necessarily the bootloader.

Many people either put ipodpatcher someplace included in the path, or type the full path to ipodpatcher which means you can run it from anywhere, even if it's not in your folder.

You have to not only HAVE ipodpatcher in the same place as the .ipod file, but you have to BE there too, you can't just type C:\Rockbox\ipodpatcher, instead, CD C:\Rockbox, and type ipodpatcher (and all the other stuff past it) on its own.

Wait, Does The bootloader need to be in the same folder as ipodpatcher? 'cause that's how I did it before, and command prompt says that the bootloader can't be read, and that installation failed.

Is the CD part of the code? like, is CD C:\rockbox\ipodpatcher 1 -r bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod
?
                                                                                           
                                                                                           (/\Device number)

Llorean:
It's not "code".
They're commands. It's the command prompt.
Type:
cd c:\rockbox

On its own.
Then you follow the instructions once you're there. EXACTLY as the installation instructions say. They even tell you to cd to the c:\rockbox folder. If you follow them EXACTLY instead of skipping over steps you either don't think you need or don't understand, it will work.

Also, you do NOT -r bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod. There is NEVER an instruction to do that.

zombieplasticclock:
 Ok thanks.
BTW-the -r is a typo. I ment to write -a.
I can bet that's wrong too, yeah?
oh well, thanks anyway. I'll try when I get to it

Llorean:
Typos when attempting the install can result in an iPod that needs to be restored. Be more careful, as a restoration wipes all the data on the disk.
