After Installing Rockbox Cannot Load Original OS!

(1/4) > >>

Baseballguy:
I did everything right and i know it. When it comes up, i put the switch to hold and it says Loading Original Firmware...... Then resets itself. I can load rockbox fine but not the Apple OS. Any suggestions?

mikeage:
This appears to be a known issue with some iPods; see http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=8610.msg67293#msg67293.

I'm still trying to find out if there is a proper solution; the old bootloader doesn't handle some things properly (specifically, the kernel_on_cop patch requires the new one).

Hopefully this caveat will be added to the manual, as well.

linuxstb:
This bug is proving harder to isolate than I hoped (i.e. I haven't a clue what's wrong...).  So yes, the note from the IpodInstallationBeta page should be added to the manual as well.

I've added the problem to the bug tracker, it would be helpful if users with a 4G greyscale or mini could perform the tests mentioned on that task:

Baseballguy:
I fixed it. Here is what I did. All i did was restore my ipod using itunes....reinstalled rockbox and both rockbox and the apple os work fine now! If other people are having the same problem try this.

baseballguy:

what kind of ipod, which bootloader, and which ipodpatcher did you use?
