Hey i finally have a patch that I think will work for you appreciate your input

https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,55129.0.html

That's great - thanks very much - I can't wait to try it.  But I don't know how to make use of a patch as I don't have a development environment with which to build from source code.

I compiled two builds for you:
ipod6g
ipodvideo

Hardware / Re: Potentially Bricked iPod

Hi.

I just bought an iPod Classic and the guy told me it has Rockbox installed. I've been trying to dual boot but doesn't work and potentially remove Rockbox.

I have the same issues as you @Lunaluu. When I press MENU+SELECT, it goes to the Rockbox boot loader. If I hold it down longer while plugged in, the screen remains black and blank. iTunes then picks up the iPod, but I cannot restore it. I've also tried going into the boot loaders 'Disk mode' but it does nothing for iTunes. I've tried to go to the default Disk Mode using MENU+SELECT then LEFT+SELECT, but it just goes back to the Rockbox bootloader.

Can anyone provide some assistance? I cannot get the Apple logo to show at all.

FYI, the Disk mode partition is FAT32, but iTunes still gives me an error 1675.

Thanks.
Dash

Is that mistyped, or do you mean you used MENU+SELECT then LEFT+SELECT ?  Because LEFT+SELECT, as far as I know, is 'diagnostic mode', not disk mode.  Disk mode is SELECT+PLAY/PAUSE.  Or maybe you actually did that and mistyped in the quoted message?

What happens if you turn the hold switch on immediately after rebooting? It should try and load the Apple firmware.

Excellent, thanks on both counts! The flash dump should be ok, it sure looks like it. The restore function works immediately so as far as I can tell it's correct.

If we can't get an image from hifiwalker, you could re-install your backup and then do a whole dump of the player's flash, that's better to have than nothing.

Done, I've uploaded it to the same folder as the bootloader. It should be as stock as possible since I hit factory reset before taking the dump. I did not reboot after restoring the bootloader and before taking the dump though. Please let me know if that will cause any issues.

Any chance you'd be willing to try the stock updater method? I'm just trying to figure out if it will accept the same update image as the surfans units. It will either work and re-install the exact same bootloader you already have, or it will reject it because it has the wrong device name string (erosq_2024).

Just tried it (after restoring the stock bootloader) with erosqnative-hw4-erosq_2024.upt, looks like it works completely fine. Update shows success and then it immediately boots into Rockbox.

jztool on Windows--I wanted to be able to backup the bootloader. I've uploaded it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-ZyYtFbT0AsYWZwX3iOqCd7lBAAy7g-F?usp=sharing

I just received the reply from Hifi Walker. They say that there is "no update package for the time being" and that "Older versions of the player cannot be upgraded to 2.0"

Thanks for the backup image too, I grabbed it and saved it locally just in case since we don't have the hifiwalker update image yet.
