Rockbox does not work on the 2nd gen Nano. At all.

iPodpatcher won't even allow you to install the bootloader.

Use the "restore" function in iTunes.

I'm curious how one even installs Rockbox on a Nano 2G?  Don't the tools refuse to work if they don't find a supported target?

We're working on the assumption that it's either a 2nd Gen Mini being talked about here, or a 1st Gen Nano - since yes, ipodpatcher refuses to do anything to a 2nd Gen Nano.

That's the "restore" function in iTunes that I referred to above.
