Help installing Rockbox along with iPL Loader2 Boot Menu

(1/8) > >>

ivet:
I want to download the iPL Loader 2 bootloader on my 30gb video iPod, which that allows me to choose from the available operating systems through the visual menu when my iPod starts up.

I first read this tutorial on how to do that:
http://www.alwaysbeta.com/2006/08/24/how-to-dual-boot-your-ipod-with-rockbox/

But then I realized the ipod_fw.exe and ipodpatcher.exe links they provided were not working so I moved to the rock box site to see if they had that aswell, which they infact did, here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallation

Well, I did everything they asked for in the Installation instructions, but when I was done installing the bootloader I realized they didn't have the iPL Loader2 Boot Menu part included in those instructions.

Can someone please help me add the iPL Loader2 Boot Menu like so: http://www.alwaysbeta.com/wp-content/uploads/smcbride/rockbox/ipod_1.jpg

I tried the instructions they have under Installing Rockbox along with iPL Loader2 Boot Menu , but it did not work, because it started up the same way, with a black screen with words saying rockbox is loaded, then a girl holding a black ipod from the jBuild, following the main menu with the playlists, etc.

ivet:
Or maybe I could put everything they asked to extract from the command prompt back someway?

This pic shows everything that was taken out through the command prompt in to seperate bins:

is there any way for me to possibly place all those bin files back to my iPod and re-do the process of installing iPL Loader 2 bootloader with Always Beta's (http://www.alwaysbeta.com...t-your-ipod-with-rockbox/) instructions?

gnu:
Since the IPL bootloader is made by Ipodlinux, you'll probably find more help there..
After you've successfully installed the loader, just dump your rockbox files into the root of your ipod - it will detect them automaticly!

I tried those instructions from the link you gave, but I still am getting errors:

I don't think I can repeat the process because in those instruction it uses the command prompt to extract the bin files. But since I already extracted the bin files, my first time incorrectly trying to install the iPL Loader Boot Menu, there is nothing left to extract, so I get these errors.

Any one have any idead how to fix this? Please help, I really want the loader boot menu, but i still get the rockbox boot menu.

Are you logged in as Administrator?  ipodpatcher requires admin privileges in order to access your ipod's hard disk.
