Really, come on.  This is one of the open source projects with the best support in my opinion.  Questions are answered (if someone knows the answer) virtually always VERY quickly.  All that is asked in return is that people read and comply with posting guidelines.

Over and above this though - Rockbox is free, coded by people in their own time and made available so other people can benefit.  Of course the devs want feedback so bugs can be fixed, and people are willing to help if they can.  This is the critical point - it is help provided in spare time and for free.  If you pay for Rockbox, you can expect support.  Seeing as it has been provided for free, stop being so ungrateful.

I'll gladly begin offering paid support services.

The rockbox - great invention. And the community maybe too... But Im talking about my own situation. No one help me ((( THIS IS BAD...  100 views of this topic and no one normal adwise... baaad...baaad..

I suspect many people didn't help you because they had no clue what you were talking about.

You don't speak English well, you've admitted this, but it's very very hard to decipher exactly what happened, and what you'd already tried to do about it, making it nearly impossible for anyone to help you.

Personally, I read your original post, didn't understand it and moved on.  I suspect a great many other people did this to.  It is fortunate we didn't all post just to say, "Sorry I don't understand you" as the forum would become unmanageable.

It isn't your fault that your English isn't good (in your words baaad...baaad..), but neither is it my fault that I don't have a crystal ball and couldn't understand you.

Sounds like a corrupt filesystem, I would recomend backing up any unique data and then restoring your iPod with iTunes.

Then i try to reboot my ipod. The "Disc is scanning" on boot and no reaction... freeze.

This (I assume) is Rockbox dircache or Database trying to update.  If it freezes for more that a couple of minutes, I (again assuming) is choking on one of those 3-4GB corrupt files.

I can reboot by menu+select, but the situation - repaet. i cant turn off iPod. only reboot

I assume you haven't tried rebooting into Apple Firmware, Rockbox appears to be choking on the large undeleatable, presumably corrupt, file manifestations in your root directory.

If your bootloader shows white text on a black background, or no text at all between the appearance of the Apple logo and the Rockbox logo, you need to reboot, and immediately toggle the hold switch into the on (red) position to boot the Apple firmware.

If your bootloader shows black text on a light blue background between the appearance of the Apple logo and the Rockbox logo, you need to press and hold the "Menu" button immediately after rebooting until the Apple firmware loads.

Once in Apple firmware use iTunes to restore your ipod.  Hopefully you simply need to do that reformat, and your hard drive isn't dying.

When I plug usb - the windows say that usb gadget is unidentify..

I'm not sure what the error message is, either ignore it for now, or repost exactly what Windows says.
