antoniolio:
Pleaze someone help!!! I just installed rockbox on an ipod 5.5g, the 80 gb one thingking that it was a normal 5gen ipod and therefore Rockbox worked. My problem is that it doesnt work on the 80gb model, and I cant restore it since it wont show up under My PC when I connect it to my computer. It just stays there showing a black screen with these words:
Rockbox boot loader
Version: 20061220-0910
IPOD version: 0xFFFFFFFF
TOSHIBA MK8010GAH

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! (is not my ipod, is my friend's one...)

GodEater:
*Sigh*

Turn the hold switch to on, and then off again.

Press Menu and the centre button for about 10-20 seconds until the iPod reboots.

As *soon* as it reboots press Play and the Centre button and hold them until the iPod enters the emergency disk mode.

Connect it to your PC, and then follow the uninstall instructions.

And take more care in future. The 80GB iPod says quite clearly on the back "80GB". *We* say quite clearly on the front page of www.rockbox.org that this model is not supported.
