11:22 < user890104> esalazioneHg: are you there?
11:23 < user890104> try this build: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-2448190e.html
11:24 < user890104> with python emcore.py execfirmware 0x08000000 <filename>
11:24 < user890104> then run: python emcore.py console
11:24 < user890104> and pastebin the result
11:50 < esalazioneHg> i'm back
11:56 < esalazioneHg> do you mean runfirmware?
12:06 < esalazioneHg> the script crash
12:06 < esalazioneHg> and the firmware hangs
12:06 < user890104> yes, runfirmware
12:06 < user890104> my mistake
12:07 < user890104> ok i have another build then
12:08 < user890104> btw can you retry with this one, but entering the  console as soon as possible (while the dots are appearing)
12:08 < user890104> so you can connect before it crashes
12:08 < esalazioneHg> ok
12:09 < esalazioneHg> interesting output
12:09 < esalazioneHg> i'l pastebin
12:10 < user890104> there should be a lot of info in the output
12:10 < esalazioneHg> http://pastebin.com/Tda7cGsi
12:12 < user890104> did you manage to run disk mode after wiping?
12:15 < esalazioneHg> i unplugged the ipod, selected disk mode, it autoreboot after some seconds (because it's not plugged)
12:15 < esalazioneHg> i can redo it
12:16 < user890104> can you redo it with the ipod plugged in?
12:18 < esalazioneHg> wipe, then reboot on disk mode without unplug, then python reset, right?
12:19 < esalazioneHg> (while booting disk mode dmesg says "[16082.075206] end_request: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 0")
12:19 < user890104> wipe, then python reset, then disk mode from the menu
12:20 < user890104> all of these while plugged in
12:20 < user890104> don't look at dmesg for now
12:20 < esalazioneHg> ok, i'll redo the correct sequence
12:20 < user890104> launching disk mode at the end of these steps should initialize the FTL
12:20 < user890104> that's important
12:20 < user890104> it isn't likely to show up as a partition, because it's not formatted yet
12:21 < user890104> you'll format it from emcore
12:22 < esalazioneHg> done
12:22 < user890104> try to upload this build with runfirmware: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-ff49f371.html
12:23 < user890104> and try not to touch the clickwheel after sending runfirmware
12:23 < user890104> because it would fill the display with clickwheel log messages
12:23  * [Saint] is out of the loop here. What happened?
12:23 < user890104> and you won't be able to see the previous
12:24 < user890104> [Saint]: some weird FTL fuckup, which should be fixed by now
12:24 < esalazioneHg> should i reset manually now that's i'mode or there's a better way?
12:24 < user890104> what did you do so fat?
12:24 < user890104> far*
12:24 < [Saint]> Hum...this is the same iPod that bards at anything past 3.7.1 yes?
12:25 < [Saint]> *barfs
12:25 < user890104> [Saint]: this is the second one
12:25 < [Saint]> Oh...weird.
12:25 < user890104> but the issue is a more complex one
12:25 < esalazioneHg> third, there's also a post in the forum
12:25 < [Saint]> Two nanos,  same user?
12:25 < user890104> no, different
12:26 < [Saint]> Ah.
12:26 < esalazioneHg> [Sainst] different users
12:26 < esalazioneHg> [user890104] i always did manual reset :D
12:27 < user890104> uhm, after you enter the wipenand command, it shouldn't matter
12:27 < user890104> so, did you upload the last build i sent you?
12:28 < esalazioneHg> uhm.... a lot of words on the ipod's display, nothing in xterm console...i'll retry
12:28 < esalazioneHg> last sentences i can read on the ipod are:
12:29 < esalazioneHg> dir.c:115:directory not found
12:29 < esalazioneHg> file.c:111:Failed opening dir
12:29 < esalazioneHg> *panic*
12:29 < esalazioneHg> following words are unreadable
12:30 < user890104> ok, go to Tools -> reformat data partition
12:31 < user890104> then plug the ipod in and try disk mode
12:31 < esalazioneHg> *PANIC* error reformatting data partition: FFFFFFFC
12:33 < esalazioneHg> i'm retrying with the last firmware...still no xterm console message, but i can read som words more:
12:34 < esalazioneHg> couldn't read sector 0 (error code -1)
12:34 < esalazioneHg> couldn't read dir (error code -12)
12:36 < esalazioneHg> and before fat.c:710: cache_fat_sector()
12:36 < esalazioneHg> fat.c:950: Read_fat_entry()
12:36 < esalazioneHg> fat.c:2145: trasfer (s=0, c=i, read)
12:40  * user890104 pings [7] for help
14:41 < [7]> still looks like a failed FTL
14:42 < [7]> target/ipodnano2g/ftl.c:2602: FTL: No DEVICEINFO found!
14:42 < [7]> this means that it wasn't reinitialized after wiping, for whatever reason
14:57 < esalazioneHg> uhm...do you think it's an hardware problem?
15:24 < [7]> might be... might not
15:24 < [7]> might be just a bad page (which is nothing special on flash memory) somewhere where disk mode can't deal with it correctly
15:36 < esalazioneHg> ....so....what can i try?

18:19  * esalazioneHg ping [7]
18:21  * [7] is busy assembling a cabinet, after that's finished he can hack up libemcore to produce a bit more output during the wiping process which will hopefully guide us towads the root cause
20:09 < [7]> esalazioneHg: so you say that the wipenand command times out on your device?
20:10 < [7]> does the device crash (e.g. boot menu doesn't respond any more), or is it just the wipenand operation that freezes?
20:10 < esalazioneHg> the wipenand works
20:11 < [7]> oh? i thought it did time out? or was that only on the first try?
20:11 < esalazioneHg> it hangs when i run python emcore.py runfirmware 0x08000000 ipod2g.ubi
20:11 < esalazioneHg> it timed out one or two times, usually it works
20:12 < [7]> er, so the wiping and then running disk mode part worked?
20:12 < esalazioneHg> when i run disk mode it shows the signal on the LCD, then i manually reboot
20:12 < [7]> oh, wait a second
20:13 < esalazioneHg> when i try to runfirmware it hangs at the 12th dot
20:13 < [7]> you manually rebooted while running disk mode after wiping?
20:13 < esalazioneHg> i dit it:
20:14 < esalazioneHg> wipenand -> python reset -> disk mode (while plugged in) -> manually reset (as user890104 said) ->runfirmware HANGS
20:14 < esalazioneHg> if i run diskmode dmesg shows /dev/sdd with an error...
20:15 < esalazioneHg> [44640.074567] end_request: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 0
20:15 < [7]> hm, let's start over... too much confusion
20:15 < [7]> first of all, do a wipenand again, and then zip and upload the wipelog.bin file
20:18 < esalazioneHg> ok
20:29 < esalazioneHg> (i've never created a zip on Debian in 6 year :P i'm reading the man)
20:29 < [7]> gzip < wipelog.bin > wipelog.gz
20:29 < [7]> or gzip -9 if you want better compression
20:30 < esalazioneHg> thanks :D
20:31 < esalazioneHg> i thought you wanted a .zip, not a .gz ;)
20:32 < esalazioneHg> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-6a2456da.html
20:33 < [7]> wow, 1:804 compression
20:34 < esalazioneHg> :D
20:43 < esalazioneHg> something interesting?
20:54 < user890104> seems to be all-zero
21:02 -!- benedikt93 [~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93] has quit [Quit: Bye ;)]
21:17 < esalazioneHg> ping
21:19 < user890104> esalazioneHg: he'll answer when he's available
21:19 < user890104> if you can't wait, you can check the logs later
21:20 < esalazioneHg> sorry, i thought he would have some other info/log/etc for help :)
21:21 < user890104> well the file you uploaded is full of zero bytes, which either mean all errors or all success (i don't know)
21:52 < [7]> all-zero should mean that the flash chip didn't detect any bad blocks by itself
21:52 < [7]> if you have a lot of scratch space, you could try to read out and dump the whole flash
21:53 < [7]> esalazioneHg: assuming you didn't do anything after wiping, you could try running sudo python emcore.py ipodnano2g_dumpnand /path/to/image
21:54 < [7]> this will generate a bunch of files that's about 6% larger than your ipod's storage capacity
21:55 < [7]> these files should be compressible very well though, like the previous one
21:55 < esalazioneHg> i have a lot of free space
21:55 < [7]> actually the _data and _spare files should be all-0xff
21:55 < esalazioneHg> i only did a manual reset after the last wipe
21:55 < [7]> ok
21:57 < esalazioneHg> i'm dumping
21:58 < esalazioneHg> if it can helps: i tried python mkdir, but it gave an error, something related to the vfat (said user890104)
21:58 < [7]> can't work before reinitializing the FTL
21:59 < esalazioneHg> right, so i tried reformatting the data partition, but it panics
22:01 < [7]> but you didn't boot disk mode in between?
22:04 < esalazioneHg> i booted disk mode after rewipening....
22:04 < esalazioneHg> user890104 guided me
22:05 < esalazioneHg> i think i did a correct sequenze of operation..
22:05  * [7] gives up
22:07 < esalazioneHg> if i can add the appleos.bin file, or if i can uninstall emCORE, i can use the ipod, at least....
22:08 < [7]> it's completely impossible to tell what's going on if you do random stuff in between and don't give precise information about the ipod's state
22:09 < [7]> currently your data flash contents seem to be completely fucked up, and we have no way to fix that unless we figure out why disk mode is failing to reinitialize it
22:10 < [7]> you can uninstall emcore if you want to, but this will most likely irrecoverably brick your ipod
22:11 < [7]> apple's bootloader is not really known for handling that kind of situations well
22:12 < esalazioneHg> i tried to uninstall emCORE, but it fails
22:14 < [7]> well, if you want us to try to help you, do the following sequence, without doing ANYTHING else in between:
22:14 < [7]> - wipenand
22:14 < esalazioneHg> i i always did ;)
22:14 < [7]> - dumpnand
22:14 < esalazioneHg> now i'm dumping the nand
22:14 < [7]> - boot diskmode once without the ipod being plugged
22:14 < [7]> - another dumpnand
22:14 < [7]> compress the dumpnand results and send them over
22:15 < [7]> i can possibly tell something from the results, but i can't promise anything
22:15 < esalazioneHg> ok..i'll stop this dump and redo
22:17 < [7]> and I don't think anybody told you to run diskmode between the wiping and the dump ;)
22:17 < [7]> anyway, I'm falling asleep
22:17 < [7]> I'll analyze your dump files tomorrow in the morning
22:18 < esalazioneHg> ok, thanks

22:45 < mbaran12> Hello!
22:46 < mbaran12> I've got a 6G 80GB, Windows 7 Clean (No iTunes) and using the WTF driver. iPod is in DFU (Device ID 1241) yet bootstrap_ipodclassic.exe reports "No iPod Classic in DFU mode found!"
