Roar

Hey guys, I'm new to this typa thing but I thought I'd give it a go as it seems to be worthwhile. I've got an iPod 30GB video, so I download the manual for it and so far everythings gone fine then it comes to the command of

ipodpatcher 1 -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod

And in cmdprompt it decides that it's going to say this:



I haven't a clue, I've checked the directories and all are correct and even the spelling haha. It's probably (hopefully) something simple and stupid I've missed but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Did you put the file "bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod" into the same directory you're running ipodpatcher from ?

[Vamp]

Yep

[GodEater]

Ah - I see the problem.

You've not changed directory to c:\rockbox.

Do "cd rockbox" first.

The run ipodpatcher without the leading "C:\rockbox\" that you've typed.

Rofl, oh man that was pathetic.

Hehe thanks for your help dude, appreciate it greatly

So you have bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod in your root directory?

I suspect that you downloaded bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod to your \rockbox directory, but your screenshot indicates that you are running ipodpatcher from your root directory.

Try this:

cd \rockbox
ipodpatcher 1 -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod

By the way, I don't know what "Roar" means, but please note that our posting guidelines require the use of descriptive thread titles.

Edit:  I guess I typed too slow.

Read section 2.2.2. of the ROckbox Manual.

I'm reading 2.2.2 of the rockbox manual, what am I supposed to look for, I rewrote the frimware, and I'm still comming up with the error:

   Rockbox error: -1

I'm still comming up with the error:
   Rockbox error: -1

Do you have the rockbox.ipod and the .rockbox folder on your ipod? I believe that's what that error message means

[Diaskue]

i only have the ".rockbox" file showing up when i look at the ipod. How can I get the other file?

Use the “Extract all” command of your unzip program to extract the files in the .zip file onto your player. Note that the entire contents of the .zip file should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive. Do not try to create a separate directory or folder on your player for the Rockbox files! The .zip file already contains the internal directory structure that Rockbox needs.

Note: If the contents of the .zip file are extracted correctly, you will have a file called rockbox.ipod in the main folder of your player’s drive, and also a folder called /.rockbox, which contains a number of other folders and system files needed by Rockbox. If you receive a “-1” error when you start Rockbox, you have not extracted the contents of the .zip file to the proper location.

you need to open the folder that ipodpatcher is in. ie. if you put ipodpatcher in "C:\rockboxfolder\smeg" then you would type, "cd rockboxfolder." Then type, "cd smeg" THEN ipodpatcher --scan. CD means Change directory for the non-command prompy savvy
