Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / Re: What are the alternatives to iFlash for an iPod Classic?

« Last post by cereal_killer on September 28, 2024, 05:36:49 PM »

I once had a Supertalent DuraDrive ZT3 IDE/ZIF-40 Solid State Drive installed in my iPod 5.5g and it worked fine. Was only 256 GB tough. Installation was plug & play.

Apple - Installation/Removal / Re: My 7th gen with iFlash keeps corrupting its firmware

Have you read through section 2.1.2 of the manual? That might be of interest to you. I understand you definitely want to be using the current development version, not "stable".

There's also the possibility of a loose cable internally as well that might be worth looking into.

When you say "7th gen" do you mean one that started as 120GB (generally known as 7th gen) or one that started life as a slim 160GB model (usually informally called "7.5 gen")

Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / What are the alternatives to iFlash for an iPod Classic?

« Last post by Psychotronics on September 28, 2024, 11:34:37 AM »

I'm getting real tired of the issues that come with Rockbox and iFlash. Going back to the OG firmware isn't an option: iTunes won't even recognise my iPod anymore.
I chose iFlash because it was easy to install, but it's getting frustrating enough that I'm willing to learn whatever's necessary for a better solution. Has anyone ever installed an actual SSD on it? If so, was it hard?

Apple - Installation/Removal / My 7th gen with iFlash keeps corrupting its firmware

Did a fresh install of Rockbox two days ago. Today, I plugged it to find it saying "no firmware found". Opened up AOMEI, the iPod's drive shows up as "unformatted". It's the second time this happens this week. Any ideas what might be happening to it?

Thanks @rockbox_dev123.

I am working on an update, which includes this fix and a couple of other little things I noticed.

Rockbox Utility / Re: Ipod 6th Gen Mountpoint error

On Windows the mount point is the device's drive letter.  You should be able to select that.

Starting Development and Compiling / Re: Sansa E200V2 Bootloader is broken in master

that could still be pointing to a voltage issue, it could also be a faulty chip could be an issue with our context switching and it could also be clocked wrong because of a wonky multiplier between the cpu and sd controller

Rockbox Utility / Ipod 6th Gen Mountpoint error

« Last post by pjcairns on September 27, 2024, 03:21:14 PM »

I am trying to install Rockbox on a 6th gen classic ipod using Windows 11.
Having gone through the iTunes/Rockbox installation process when trying to use the "Configure Rockbox Utility" & choosing the "iPod Classic (6th gen) I get the error message "Mountpoint does not exist".
Not being familiar with UNIX & its subtleties is there any way I can resolve this error other than resorting to repartitioning (using AOMEI Partition Assistant 10.4.2) & starting again?
