resolved: always rebooting Ipod Mini 2G

<< < (2/4) > >>

linuxstb:
As your ipod reboots (when you see the Apple logo), hold SELECT+PLAY.  This will put your ipod in disk mode and you can then restore with itunes.

sugarcubes:
Thanks for the quick reply.  But this was the first thing I tried.  It just keeps on rebooting over and over again.

sugarcubes:
Arr finally got it to work.  Once again thanks for quick reply.

thias:
To make things clear: To get into diskmode, you have to
SWITCH HOLD ON AND OF FIRST.
Then Press Select+Play at the same time.
I forgot the "Hold"-thing on my first try. This was caused by my weak english, I think. Because they often write "press Hold Select and Play"... but a direct translation into german of that would be press Select+Play, but this is obviously wrong...

Now back to my reboot-original-fw-problem:

It says (the last two lines):
partition1: 0x0B 3859
loading original firmware
then "klick!"-reboot - no error, nothing.

Besides that, rockbox works fine. I am atm working on a little ipod-clone-theme. I will open a new thread for that in the wps-section ;)

mikeage:
I just went ahead and attempted to installed the rockbox boot loader (I used to use the iPL, but I wanted to test a patch that appears to require the RB loader).

My iPod (4g gray) boots into RB just fine, but if I try and boot into the Apple firmware, I see "Loading Original Firmware," hear a click (as described by thias), and it reboot. In order to boot the apple firmware, I have to reinstall the bootpartition.bin 40MB file I created when I first installed rockbox about 8 months ago. After doing that, of course, I can not access rockbox at all until I reinstall the loader.

Just to make sure it wasn't some weird side effect of having used the old RB loader, then iPL, then the new one, I restored my ipod (and wiped out everything). Same results.

I'm installing bootloader-ipod4g.ipod from the site indicated in the manual along with the version of ipodpatcher found there (http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/win32/ipodpatcher.exe -- v0.6).
