« Last post by Kevlarhabanero on Today at 02:21:19 PM »Had Rockbox installed earlier today on my IPOD Mini 2nd Generarion, wanted to then add themes. Somehow the screen is reading *PANIC* (4.0)
Mount:0 on first two lines on screen. I can't get Rock Box Utility to see the iPod and I can't shut iPod down or reboot it. Would appreciate help here.

Hardware / Sansa Fuze+ completely unresponsive after attempting to sync RB 4.0
« Last post by Kai1992 on Today at 12:54:57 PM »I hvae used Music Bee to maintain my library in the past. I was quite excited and got a Fuze+ off of ebay and put rockbox on it right away. I had an sd card out of my previous player and dropped it into the Fuze+ and was fine for a couple of days. When I went to finally actually add some new music I attempted to sync the sd card via music bee it would stick infinitely saying scanning files never actually beginning to sync.
I thought to attempt syncing while in the OF to see what happened there. Well when I attempted this the OF once plugged in quickly showed the sd card was not formatted right then kind of flashed through a series of screens to fast to tell what happened and shut off. I quickly unplugged it and then plugged it in once again and now it was showing a rockbox screen black with maybe 5 0r 6 lines of text saying something about a bootloader mode and some other various statistics like battery level and the like. long story short once the Fuze+ was unplugged after this it is completely unresponsive to all button presses.
I cannot enter recovery mode and no length of power holding does anything nor can I enter the OF boot up. Holding volume down while powering does nothing. Holding volume up while plugging in does nothing. I am quite disappointed because I had over the two days I had the unit running rockbox become fond of it and had finally got the touchpad sensitivity to where I liked and was getting used to it. Any help would be appreciated and I hope the player is not a total loss. Thank you all in advance!

Rockbox Utility / Re: I get the error no partition found (0) insert usb cable and fix it.
« Last post by rockbox_dev123 on Today at 11:01:17 AM »Judging by the fact that filesystem shows as empty in your Windows screenshot I suspect that you don't have music you care about losing on the iPod.
I would suggest that you restore the iPod via iTunes and if you install an old version you can select an ipsw firmware file from disk by holding down the Shift key when pressing restore.
Use firmware iPod_38.2.0.5.ipsw[Classic 4G (160 GB) (38/2.0.5)] or
iPod_35.2.0.4.ipsw [Classic 3G (160 GB) (35/2.0.4)] depending on your hardware revision.
Once your iPod has been restored (and the correct filesystem created) verify that the device shows up in Windows as a removable disk. If that works correctly then you can install the Rockbox bootloader. Reboot the player and check if the Rockbox bootloader error changes from "No partition found" to "Error! Can't load rockbox.ipod". If you get the latter message then all you need to do is unzip Rockbox to the player.

What numbers are you seeing for Reallocs and Pending in the SMART data screen of Diagnostic Mode?
Pending Sectors: 0

« Last post by rupiron on Today at 09:25:48 AM »I assume that means the iPod has an HDD. Is it the original or have you modded it?
The original HDD is installed. I did not make any modifications.

« Last post by rupiron on Today at 09:21:16 AM »Also it's not clear from the description here if the error is being reported by the bootloader (which is pretty old at this point) or the much more recent rockbox firmware.
Before the error occurs, the rockbox logo appears. Based on this, I assume that the error is reported by firmware, not bootloader, but I may be mistaken.

Hardware / Re: HiBy R1
« Last post by Milardo on July 06, 2025, 03:11:32 PM »Yes, through adb.
You can turn on adb in the boot menu and then connect over usb to play around.
It does not matter if you run Rockbox or the HiBy player after that.
Did this help in any way? Specifically, (google translate)

« Last post by speachy on July 05, 2025, 01:00:37 PM »The error itself I don't know. Seems as if Rockbox itself is not seeing the drive, even though the OF and windows can. Is it possible that despite windows reporting it to be FAT32 it actually isn't?
I suspect that if you go into fdisk (or whatever) the partition type identifier will not match its contents.
Also it's not clear from the description here if the error is being reported by the bootloader (which is pretty old at this point) or the much more recent rockbox firmware.

What numbers are you seeing for Reallocs and Pending in the SMART data screen of Diagnostic Mode? [Reboot and then immediately press and hold the Select and |<< buttons until you see the first diagnostic screen, then navigate to SMART data via Manual Test -> IO -> HardDrive->HDSMARTData.]

Is it possible that despite windows reporting it to be FAT32 it actually isn't? Something maybe screwy about the formatting of the drive? Pretty sure I've had that happen with flash modded ipods in the past, though wouldn't expect it to arise with the original HD if the drive itself wasn't failing. Have you tried looking at it with AOMEII (and maybe rewriting the MBR)? Or checking it for errors from within windows?
Oh, also have you definitely installed the correct version of Rockbox (i.e. for the 6g)?
