12:22 < esalazioneHg> hi all. i'm having some trouble with iLoader and emCORE (better with rockbox bootloader, but on #rockbox they suggested me to use alternatives to try fixing another problem)
12:23 < esalazioneHg> emCORE sometimes hangs, and both can't manage disk mode correctly
12:26 < esalazioneHg> [user890104] bootnote didn't work.. 
12:27 < user890104> esalazioneHg: if you don't have anything valuable on the ipod, i would suggest wiping the flash
12:27 < user890104> but first we need to ensure that you have a proper bootloader
12:27 < esalazioneHg> how can i wipe it?
12:28 < esalazioneHg> i'm here also to help you fixing every problem (if it's a bootloader/rockbox problem), so feel free to use me as a test ;)
12:29 < user890104> ok, let's start from the beginning
12:29 < user890104> what do you see right after you reset (menu+select) your ipod?
12:29 < user890104> i mean, on the ipod's screen
12:30 < user890104> apple logo, white background with text or something else?
12:30 < esalazioneHg> right now i'm using iLoader
12:30 < user890104> which version?
12:31 < user890104> a way to check is to open the menu and press >>
12:31 < user890104> so it would open the console
12:31 < esalazioneHg> 2010/11/03 r250
12:31 < esalazioneHg> 0.2.2
12:32 < user890104> ok
12:32 < user890104> reset it again with menu+select
12:32 < user890104> then open the menu/more options item
12:32 < user890104> with MENU
12:32 < user890104> and select umsboot
12:32 < user890104> but connect it to a pc before that
12:33 < user890104> if everything goes well, you should have a new usb flash memory connected to your pc
12:33 < esalazioneHg> there is no "umsboot"
12:34 < esalazioneHg> there's power off/diagnostic mode/fallback menu/update iLoader/back
12:34 < user890104> ah sorry, fallback menu-> umsboot
12:35 < user890104> i haven't used iloader for a while
12:36 < esalazioneHg> appears "please copy a UBI file to the mass storage, then safely reject..."
12:36 < user890104> do you see the disk drive on the PC?
12:36 < esalazioneHg> no
12:36 < user890104> which operating system are you using?
12:37 < esalazioneHg> dmesg sees only a sdd, no sdd1 or sdd2 as usual
12:37 < user890104> ah that's fine
12:37 < esalazioneHg> Debian GNU/Linux
12:37 < esalazioneHg> wheezy, kernel 3
12:37 < user890104> just mount /dev/sdd
12:37 < user890104> the umsboot drive does not have a partition table, it's a raw partition
12:38 < user890104> it is a RAM drive actually
12:38 < user890104> you can specify -t vfat if it doesn't recognize it
12:40 < esalazioneHg> 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/jajaja' hangs o.0
12:40 < user890104> that's not good
12:40 < esalazioneHg> dmesg gives an empty line o.0
12:40 < esalazioneHg> uh...done!
12:41 < user890104> ok, enter the directory and run
12:41 < user890104> wget http://builds.freemyipod.org/emcore-installer/target/ipodnano2g/emcore-installer-ipodnano2g-r773.ubi
12:41 < esalazioneHg> it is really slow...the dir is empty, is it right?
12:41 < user890104> yeah
12:42 < Farthen> it's a ramdisk. you are basically downloading the file into the ram of you ipod
12:42 < user890104> when it's done, "cd .." and then "eject /dev/sdd"
12:42 < esalazioneHg> done
12:42 < user890104> did the installer start?
12:43 < esalazioneHg> the screen vanished slowly to white display...i'll reset
12:44 < user890104> ok, repeat the procedure and if it doesn't work, i'll think of another solution
12:44 < esalazioneHg> umsboot still don't find the UBI..i'll redownload it
12:45 < user890104> yeah, exactly
12:45 < user890104> it is a RAM drive, the contents are not preserved after a reset :)
12:45 < esalazioneHg> dmesg is angry
12:45 < esalazioneHg> [12652.238217] end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 65520
12:45 < esalazioneHg> [12652.238222] quiet_error: 488 callbacks suppressed
12:45 < esalazioneHg> [12652.238224] Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 8190
12:46 < user890104> ok, i have another suggestion then
12:46 < esalazioneHg> replugged, now dmesg is ok
12:47 < user890104> try the rest of the steps, if it doesn't work we'll go "the hard way"
12:49 < esalazioneHg> "*PANIC* could not parse actions image!"
12:50 < esalazioneHg> it seems my iPod wants the hard way
12:51 < user890104> my best suggestion at the moment is to wait for TheSeven
12:51 < user890104> because your ipod is acting weird
12:51 < user890104> and it could get worse if we try random things on it
12:51 < Farthen> sorry to say but this may very well be some kind of hardware damage
12:52 < Farthen> not sure of course. could also be a rare software bug
12:54 < esalazioneHg> if it's an hardware problem it explain the error in rockbox with the rockbox bootloader...but...
12:55 < esalazioneHg> i read some other guys having this exactly same problem with rockbox after 3.7.1
12:55 < Farthen> -> could also be a software bug
12:55 < Farthen> really not sure
12:56 < esalazioneHg> so..it's strange....same problem, same seconds before hangs, same version....with rockbox bootldr and rb 3.7.1 all works perfectly
12:59 < esalazioneHg> if it could help: 2 days ago, while testing, i did an fsck on the vfat partition
12:59 < Farthen> did it find anything?
12:59 < esalazioneHg> (someone suggeted it could be a "fragmentation" problem..or something similar)
13:00 < esalazioneHg> some little fix was made
13:00 < user890104> which partition? the flash memory of your ipod, or the umsboot partition?
13:00 < esalazioneHg> probably because i added/removed a lot of things...it seemed normal to me..
13:01 < esalazioneHg> the /dev/sdd2 partition, while i was using rockbox bootldr... the flash one, with apple's dir, .rockbox, my dirs...
13:02 < Farthen> have you tried going into disk mode at some point?
13:03 < Farthen> disk mode is able to detect nearly all ftl errors and will wipe it then. you may have luck and it's just something like that
13:03 < esalazioneHg> yes, sometimes it worked well, with iLoader and emCORE it didn't work
13:03 < Farthen> "didn't work"?
13:03 < Farthen> what did it do instead?
13:04 < esalazioneHg> going to disk mode passing through emCORE/iLoader, it showes the "don't disconnect" for a sec, then go back to the main manu of emCORE
13:05 < esalazioneHg> both if plugged or unplugged
13:07 < user890104> this could be an usb issue
13:07 < user890104> going to disk mode on nano2g while not connected to a computer, will restart the ipod automaticly after 2-3 seconds
13:08 < user890104> so it's the expected behaviour when there is no usb connection
13:08 < user890104> did you managed to install emcore actually?
13:13 < esalazioneHg> yes, i tryed emCORE before iLoader, but the r692 version instead of the t708 because the bootnet didn't seem to work (and there's no .ipodx version for the r708)
13:14 < esalazioneHg>  ... uh, i'm still using ipodpatcher v4.0 instead of the v5.0 because the v5 says "it can't be used with the nano 2G"
13:59 < user890104> well, if you can install any emcore version, the rest will be easy
14:22 < esalazioneHg> ok, i'll reinstall emcore. i'll be back.
14:25 < user890104> which installation method are you using?
14:30 < esalazioneHg> ipodpatcher v4.0 with the .ipodx
14:31 < user890104> i'll send you an .ipodx file
14:31 < esalazioneHg> ok, thanks
14:32 < esalazioneHg> ps: in iLoader, if  i click "dick mode" while plugged, dmesg says " end_request: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 0". i have to force a disk mode
14:34 < user890104> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-fdb1d0ae.html
14:34 < user890104> try this
14:37 < esalazioneHg> have i to uninstall iLoader first of i cansimply use ipodpatcher with this new file?
14:38 < user890104> you have to uninstall first
14:44 < esalazioneHg> on the site, uninstall instruction says i have to restore my ipod with itunes first..i haven't itunes, can i simply remove the iLoader folder?
14:47 < user890104> well, it doesn't say like that
14:47 < user890104> it says that if you removed the firmware partition, you need to restore with itunes
14:47 < user890104> if you didn't, you don't need because apple's firmware is still there
14:47 < user890104> ah, you're referring to the iloader site
14:47 < user890104> let me see
14:48 < user890104> ok, just move the iloader foleder away
14:57 < esalazioneHg> ok :D
15:00 < user890104> emcore doesn't need itunes restore, unless you selected Yes to the Remove firmware partition dialog during the installation
15:00 < user890104> iloader isn't supposed to require restore, too
15:01 < esalazioneHg> ok, after some hold on-off and reset emCORE installation started
15:01 < esalazioneHg> installed
15:04 < user890104> can you launch emcore's umsboot?
15:04 < user890104> it's in the tools menu
15:05 < user890104> and check dmesg for anything unusual
15:08 < esalazioneHg> the UMSboot device is mounted, the LCD says "please copy a UBI...."
15:09 < esalazioneHg> dmesg is ok
15:09 < user890104> ok, so it's fixed now
15:09 < esalazioneHg> it is recognised as ramdisk
15:09 < user890104> reset with menu+select
15:09 < user890104> and let's return to your initial issue
15:10 < user890104> i'll send you a rockbox build which is 3.9.1
15:10 < esalazioneHg> should i test the dick mode too?
15:10 < user890104> try it
15:11 < esalazioneHg> dmesg found only the /dev/sdd
15:11 < esalazioneHg> still "end_request: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 0"
15:12 < esalazioneHg> should i copy last messages in a pastebin?
15:12 < user890104> yes
15:14 < esalazioneHg> fist lines are repeated sooooo many times
15:14 < esalazioneHg> http://pastebin.com/wkLkJnic
15:15  * TheSeven smells EHCI mess
15:17 < user890104> esalazioneHg: this is the output when you run disk mode, right?
15:17 < esalazioneHg> yes
15:18 < TheSeven> hm, that points towards the FTL
15:18 < esalazioneHg> disk mode through emCORE, not the apple's one
15:18 < user890104> does the ipod restart itself when you run disk mode like before?
15:18 < esalazioneHg> no
15:18 < TheSeven> esalazioneHg: it's basically the same, just booted a different way
15:19 < esalazioneHg> when booted without using emCORE it works well
15:19 < TheSeven> that's odd
15:20 < TheSeven> anyway, i'd go for completely wiping the ipod's flashes and reinstalling from scratch
15:27 < TheSeven> if umsboot is acting up, just launch the binaries using the emcore monitor
15:41 < esalazioneHg> so...i go to tools, run UMSboot while plugged?
15:52 < TheSeven> hm, I'd go for the monitor interface instead
15:52 < TheSeven> you'll need to download some tools, and install pyusb >=1.0.0a0
15:52 < TheSeven> you might have already done so to run the bootstrapper, if you did that on linux
17:17 < esalazioneHg> i'm back. you mean this? http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/Troubleshooting#DFU_Mode
17:17 < esalazioneHg> otherwise, where can i find instruction?
17:18 < TheSeven> first of all you'll need to install python, libusb (these are usually already present on linux systems) and pyusb 1.0.0
17:18 < TheSeven> then you'll need to svn co http://svn.freemyipod.org/emcore/trunk/tools
17:19 < TheSeven> and then we'll send you some commands you'll need to run
17:30 < esalazioneHg> in Debian there's python-usb that's pyusb 0.4.2, is it ok?
17:31 < esalazioneHg> oh, ops
17:31 < esalazioneHg> i've just read i need 1.0.0, sorry :D
17:33 < esalazioneHg> ok, done
17:36 < user890104> can you run
17:36 < user890104> python emcore.py getversion
17:36 < user890104> oops
17:37 < user890104> python emcore.py getinfo version
17:39 < esalazioneHg> i have to plug the ipod in umsboot mode first, right?
17:42 < esalazioneHg> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g
17:45 < user890104> forget the umsboot mode :)
17:45 < user890104> it's not needed now
17:46 < user890104> since you have the python tools
17:46 < user890104> you aren't going to use
17:46 < user890104> now TheSeven should have some suggestion that you can try
17:50 < TheSeven> so what's currently installed on that ipod?
18:27 < esalazioneHg> there's emCORE r773 (given by user890104), installed with ipodpatcher 4.0
18:27 < esalazioneHg> and rockbox 7.9.1
18:28 < esalazioneHg> (not working...last version working is 3.7.1)
18:28 < esalazioneHg> installed 3.9.1, sorry
18:30 < esalazioneHg> (i read a log from 29th sep. where someone is talking to you, TheSeven, about a problem exactly like mine: rockbox > 3.7.1 hangs)
19:18 -!- nieuwbie [~user@ip5452ef7d.adsl-surfen.hetnet.nl] has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
19:20 < user890104> esalazioneHg: we need to find what is causing this problem
19:20 < user890104> i can give you test builds if you want to try them
19:20 < esalazioneHg> ok
19:35 < user890104> esalazioneHg: start with this one: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-2300aa7e.html
19:36 < esalazioneHg> ok 
19:36 < TheSeven> so you said that diskmode is misbehaving as well?
19:37 < TheSeven> in that case i'd strongly encourage completely wiping the flash, as there's apparently something wrong
19:37 < esalazioneHg> [TheSeven] yes, for example: through amcore shows that strange dmesg (see pastebin)
19:37 < esalazioneHg> now i'll try forcing it
19:40 < esalazioneHg> if i boot apple's firmware, then plug the ipod, same dmesg
19:46 < esalazioneHg> uhm...this time i can't uninstall emcore
19:46 < esalazioneHg> let's wipe it all
19:47 < user890104> you should use the usb monitor protocol
19:47 < user890104> and issue a wipenand command
19:48 < user890104> then format it from the boot menu
19:49 < esalazioneHg> how can i do it?
19:51 < user890104> let me see
19:51 < user890104> you have emcore isntalled at the moment, right?
19:52 < TheSeven> sudo python emcore.py ipodnano2g_wipenand /tmp/wipelog.bin
19:53 < TheSeven> that should run for a couple of seconds
19:53 < TheSeven> then run sudo python emcore.py reset and unplug your ipod
19:53 < TheSeven> choose disk mode, and wait until it reboots back to the main menu
19:53 < esalazioneHg> ok, i'll try
19:54 < esalazioneHg> [user890104] yes, the build you give me
19:54 < TheSeven> plug in your ipod again, and run sudo python emcore.py runfirmware 0x08000000 installer-ipodnano2g-*.ubi
19:54 < TheSeven> follow the on-screen instructions, and allow it to reformat the data partition
19:56 < TheSeven> after that, boot the built-in rockbox image, and if it works, use that to extract your own rockbox installation
19:56 < TheSeven> then check if that does work now
19:57 < esalazioneHg> the ipod timedout while wipening..i'll redo
19:57 < TheSeven> that's weird
19:57 < TheSeven> how long did it take for it to time out?
19:58 < esalazioneHg> now it worked
19:58 < esalazioneHg> now timed out before hitting enter before reset -.-
19:59 < esalazioneHg> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g
19:59 < esalazioneHg> Resetting...
19:59 < esalazioneHg> ERROR: There is a problem with the USB connection.
19:59 < TheSeven> hm, probably a remnant from the first timeout
19:59 < TheSeven> just reboot it manually and continue with the instructions
20:00 < esalazioneHg> while i do 'python emcore.py reset' it reboots......
20:00 < esalazioneHg> i'm re-wipening
20:01 < TheSeven> ah, so your pc just didn't manage to receive a response before it actually rebooted
20:01 < TheSeven> can't hurt, but i'd assume that it has been sufficiently wiped by now
20:01 < esalazioneHg> i still can't do the reset...
20:07 < TheSeven> as long as it reboots it's fine if that command fails
20:07 < TheSeven> that's just a matter of bad timing (the pc not receiving the response before the ipod actually reboots)
20:07 < esalazioneHg> what .ubi should i use?
20:07 < TheSeven> any emcore installer .ubi file
20:10 < esalazioneHg> the installation of the .ubi seems to hang
20:10 < TheSeven> at which step?
20:10 < esalazioneHg> dots
20:11 < esalazioneHg> i'll try another version
20:13 < esalazioneHg> the r708 hangs, the r692 says "*PANIC* data flash I/O error!"
20:13 < TheSeven> that was after running disk mode at least once after the wiping?
20:13 < esalazioneHg> yes, but the disk mode was still with that strange dmesg
20:14 < esalazioneHg> i can try again from the beginning
20:18 < esalazioneHg> same
20:18 < esalazioneHg> both
20:19  * TheSeven wonders what's up with that device
20:19 < TheSeven> maybe a bad block on the flash in a place where the ftl can't handle it?
20:20 < esalazioneHg> i did a fsck on the flash partition 2 days ago
20:20 < TheSeven> that doesn't mean anything
20:22 < esalazioneHg> ...uhm...
20:23 < user890104> the damage is at lower level
20:23 < user890104> fsck checks just the filesystem
20:23 < esalazioneHg> yep...it was only an additional info ;)
20:25 < user890104> so you can't re-run the installer at the moment?
20:25 < esalazioneHg> the ipodpatcher one?
20:25 < user890104> runfirmware or umsboot
20:26 < user890104> when you have emcore flashed on the device, the ipodpatcher method won't make anything run
20:26 < user890104> because the firmware partition is not reached
20:27 < esalazioneHg> with runfirmware the r709 hangs, the r692 panic
20:27 < user890104> try the one i sent you
20:27 < user890104> or it was ipodx?
20:28 < user890104> anyway, this should work: http://builds.freemyipod.org/emcore-installer/target/ipodnano2g/emcore-installer-ipodnano2g-r773.ubi
20:28 < esalazioneHg> uh, it was .ubi!
20:28 < esalazioneHg> i thought it was ipodx!
20:28 < esalazioneHg> i'll try
20:29 < esalazioneHg> (better: you sent me both ;)
20:31 < esalazioneHg>  python emcore.py runfirmware 0x08000000 emcore-installer-ipodnano2g-r773.ubi 
20:31 < user890104> the point is to use binaries which i built, so if there are any PANIC messages with addresses (like 08xxxxxx) in there, i can check that's at that address
20:31 < user890104> yeah, that should work
20:32 < esalazioneHg> done...but the ipod don't auto-reboot starting the installation
20:32 < user890104> what does it show?
20:32 < esalazioneHg> the boot menu hanged
20:32 < user890104> ah
20:33 < user890104> can you retry, but entering emcore console first
20:33 < user890104> so the bootmenu would close
20:33 < user890104> i mean selecting the console item from the boot menu
20:34 < esalazioneHg> ps: i still have your version installed from the previous installation)
20:34 < esalazioneHg> using the console...still don't reboot
20:35 < user890104> does it show anything on the console
20:35 < user890104> and did the command complete successfully?
20:35 < user890104> i mean on the PC side
20:35 < esalazioneHg> dropped into emcore console...nothing more
20:35 < esalazioneHg> on the pc side usual message
20:35 < esalazioneHg> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g

20:36 < esalazioneHg> if i redo without manual reboot "no amcore device found"...
20:36 < esalazioneHg> so, it's like it tries to reboot but hangs
20:36 < user890104> ok so it hanged
20:36 < user890104> reboot it, enter the console and redo the command just in case
20:37 < user890104> if it doesn't work again, wait for TheSeven
20:37 < user890104> he is the man with the the better ideas than me :)
20:38 < TheSeven> if it just freezes without showing any changes on the display when you execute the runfirmware command, this probably means that the binary you're trying to run is bad
20:39 < esalazioneHg> [user890104] redone..same...
20:39 < esalazioneHg> lol
20:39 < esalazioneHg> if it's bad...user890104 didn't his homework :D
20:40 < user890104> well, it might have been corrupted when downloading
20:40 < esalazioneHg> i'll redownload
20:40 < user890104> can you check the md5 sum
20:40 < user890104> 2e3eb41b50c07cc25999bc3771219771  installer-ipodnano2g.ubi
20:41 < esalazioneHg> completely wrong .....
20:42 < user890104> well
20:42 < user890104> i'll reupload it
20:42 < TheSeven> possibly cache issues?
20:43 < user890104> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-b9ced133.html
20:43 < user890104> i've zipped it just in case
20:43 < user890104> and just tested it on my ipod
20:44 < TheSeven> 2E3EB41B50C07CC25999BC3771219771
20:44 < TheSeven> (extracted ubi file)
20:44 < user890104> this is unmodified emcore r773 + unmodified rockbox 3.9.1 as a fallback image
20:45 < esalazioneHg> correct
20:45 -!- liar [~liar@clnet-p09-185.ikbnet.co.at] has joined #freemyipod-support
20:47 < esalazioneHg> it reboots, but hangs at the same position the r709 do
20:47 < esalazioneHg> while booting, half a line of dots
20:47 < user890104> can you cont them
20:47 < user890104> count*
20:48 < esalazioneHg> 12
20:48 < esalazioneHg> lol
20:49 < user890104>     png->png_destroy(handle);
20:49 < user890104> something's wrong here or a line above then
20:49 < user890104> TheSeven: ?
20:52 < TheSeven> 12 dots? that's either a problem while decoding the actions image, or just bad timing
20:52 < TheSeven> might be that it has produced 12 dots by the time that the LCD driver goes nuts
20:53 < TheSeven> i just flashed that installer myself and it works perfectly...
20:56 < user890104> TheSeven: i'm glad you tested my build :)
20:57 < TheSeven> some windows update broke my libusb though :/
20:57 < TheSeven> needed to do it via umsboot
20:57 < user890104> i use vmware player + ubuntu all the time
20:58 < esalazioneHg> that happen when you don't use libre O.S.   XP
20:58 < esalazioneHg> [joking ;)]
20:59 < TheSeven> well yeah, win7 64bit and homebrew drivers is a mess
20:59 < TheSeven> it requires testsigning to be enabled, and some recent update seems to have disabled it by itself :/
20:59 < TheSeven> need to fix that once i find time
21:00 < user890104> i'm using some driver that doesn't complain about testsigning
21:16 < user890104> esalazioneHg: do you want to try another commands?
21:16 < esalazioneHg> i'm here ;)
21:17 < user890104> python emcore.py uploadfile installer-ipodnano2g.ubi 0x09000000
21:18 < user890104> python emcore.py execfirmware 0x08000000 0x09000000 652800
21:18 < user890104> be careful with 0x08... and 0x09...
21:18 < user890104> not to mix them up or it won't work
21:19 < esalazioneHg> should i boot the console or simply the menu?
21:20 < user890104> go select the console just in case
21:22 < esalazioneHg> same
21:23 < esalazioneHg> hangs at 12 dots
21:32 < user890104> python emcore.py console
21:32 < user890104> does it show anything or just an usb error?
21:33 < esalazioneHg> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g
21:33 < esalazioneHg> Dropped into emCORE console.
21:33 < esalazioneHg> no usb error
21:34 < user890104> and the dots are on the screen
21:34 < user890104> ?
21:34 < user890104> they should be printed to the usb console, too
21:34 < esalazioneHg> no, i started the console on ipod, then run python emcore.py console
21:35 < esalazioneHg> the ipod's  console is ok, the xter's one is waiting instruction
21:35 < user890104> start the python console command right after you see the dots on the screen
21:35 < user890104> after you upload the installer
21:36 < user890104> if emcore didn't crash, the messages from the screen should be printed to the pc console, too
21:36 < user890104> if there's a usb error, this means that it crashed while running the installer
21:38 < user890104> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g
21:38 < user890104> ^C...............................
21:38 < user890104> this is what are you expected to see after pressing ctrl+c
21:40 < esalazioneHg> you mean: start console on ipod, run python blablabla ipodnano2g-installer.ubi; then run python emcore.py console on xterm?
21:41 < esalazioneHg> if it's right:
21:41 < esalazioneHg> Connected to emCORE Debugger v0.2.2 r773 running on iPod nano 2g
21:41 < esalazioneHg> ERROR: There is a problem with the USB connection.
21:41 < esalazioneHg> ............debian:/home/nay/hack/emcore/tools# 
21:45 < user890104> yeah, exactly
21:45 < user890104> the question is why it didn't complete
21:46 < user890104> i'll send you the application so you can manually run it
21:47 < user890104> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-07156c98.html
21:48 < esalazioneHg> starting from a problem on rockbox we discovered a massive problem with almost everything :S
21:48 < user890104> while your ipod is in this state, enter the following command:
21:48 < user890104> python emcore.py run installer-ipodnano2g.emcoreapp
21:48 < user890104> well, this is the root of the problem actually
21:48 < user890104> rockbox itself should work if the hardware is working correctly
21:49 < esalazioneHg> this state= dots ?
21:51 < user890104> yeah
21:52 < user890104> wait i have a better idea
21:52 < user890104> run: python emcore.py getprocinfo
21:52 < user890104> and post it to pastebin
21:52 < esalazioneHg> while it shows dots?
21:52 < user890104> yes
21:52 < user890104> so i can see what's going on
21:53 < user890104> and why there are only 12 dots
21:56 < esalazioneHg> while loading  dots: http://pastebin.com/6Uf2ZZCK
22:10 < esalazioneHg> is it usefull?
22:11 < user890104>   Storage init thread:
22:11 < user890104>     Current CPU load: 46.7%
22:11 < user890104> yes :)
22:11 < esalazioneHg> :D
22:11 < user890104> TheSeven might want to have a look at this
22:11 < user890104> basicly i think something is a lot wrong with your flash
22:15 -!- liar [~liar@clnet-p09-185.ikbnet.co.at] has quit [Quit: hallowed are the ori!]
22:16 < user890104> please download this one
22:16 < user890104> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-d05d6a18.html
22:16 < user890104> then run it (python emcore.py run dumpmalloc.emcoreapp)
22:16 < user890104> then run the usb console (python emcore.py console)
22:16 < user890104> and pastebin the output
22:22 < esalazioneHg> simply on the menu? or while/before dots?
22:24 < user890104> after the dots show
22:24 < user890104> when did you run the previous command?
22:24 < esalazioneHg> while dots stops?
22:24 < user890104> yeah
22:24 < esalazioneHg> while the dots are appering...
22:25 < user890104> you need to run these when they stop appearing
22:25 < user890104> so i can see what's preventing the application to continue
22:25 < esalazioneHg> after the dots the prev command simply give an error that's common while not recognised
22:25 < user890104> ah i see
22:25 < user890104> so it locked up completely
22:26 < esalazioneHg> yep
22:26 < user890104> the point was to obtain a dump of the processes/memory allocations after the installer hangs
22:26 < user890104> bit it seems that the whole kernel crashes
22:27 < esalazioneHg> uhm....after the dots the command simply crash 
22:27 < user890104> so i think i can't help further
22:27 < esalazioneHg> uhm....
22:28 < esalazioneHg> is there a way to force a disk mode? i accidentally deleted the apple.bin file :S
22:28 < esalazioneHg> appleos.bin
22:28 < user890104> can you run any of the items in the bootmenu successfully?
22:29 < user890104> the disk mode is contained in a separate flash, not in appleos.bin
22:29 < esalazioneHg> hem..i formatted the data partition :S
22:29 < Farthen> i think the microwave thing would be the best use case for this ipod right now
22:29 < esalazioneHg> lol!
22:30 < user890104> i mean another flash, which is not related to the formatting/repartitioning
22:30 < Farthen> take your ipod and put it in your microwave. at least it gives you some fun out of it
22:30 < user890104> referred as NOR flash vs. the NAND flash where the partitions, music and other stuff lies
22:30 < esalazioneHg> i know, but at least i could boot the apple's firmware if i want to listen to something ;)
22:31 < user890104> so disk mode should run anyway
22:31 < user890104> ok i think i have an appleos.bin file somewhere
22:31 < esalazioneHg> [Farthen] that's not funny! (LOOOL!!!!)
