Can't boot into Rockbox anymore?!
« on: January 19, 2007, 10:00:13 PM »
I hate asking noob questions, but I'm stumped and search left me empty handed.

I've had an earlier build of RB installed for a few months and have been using it happily.

Today, I installed a new build and my Pod (iPod Video) booted into the original firmware.

Puzzled, I held the reboot combo (Menu+select) but the same thing happens: see the Apple logo come up, then it boots into Apple's firmware.

So I came home, uninstalled and reinstalled everything and tried again.  It booted into Rockbox, then after a restart with a new update from Apple (I think that's why I had to reboot), it will only boot into Apple's fw.

No holding buttons or anything gets me to Rockbox.

What in the heck am I doing wrong here?  Don't spare the harsh criticism if it's warranted- I can take it.

Thanks for any help... -R

When Apple updates, it destroys the Rockbox bootloader. After an Apple update you MUST reinstall it, or Rockbox will never load.

You guys are the greatest.  Thank you- that of course solved the problem.
