10:24 < esalazioneHg> i wipened, then dumped the dump tarball, then entered disk mode while unplugged 10:25 < esalazioneHg> whei it rebooted itself i tryed dumping but it timed out, so i manually reset and entered emcore console, then dumped the "after" tarball 10:26 < esalazioneHg> if the after tar is not correct i can redo...but it timed out some times before i can dump the after-disk mode dump 10:26 < [7]> well, the before and after dumps are completely identical, so that would mean that either you messed something up, or disk mode didn't do anything at all 10:27 -!- cac2s [~cac2s@atoll-ama.com] has joined #freemyipod-support 10:27 < [7]> also the before dump is a mostly blank image, but with some blocks containing rather odd patterns 10:28 < [7]> bank 0 block 3264 10:28 < [7]> bank 0 block 3310 10:28 < [7]> bank 0 block 5426 10:28 < [7]> bank 3 block 5918 10:28 < [7]> bank 3 block 7758 10:29 < [7]> all pages of these contain 12 bytes of 0xff and then zeros in their spare bytes and all zeros in their data bytes 10:29 < [7]> but the erase operation apparently reported no errors at all 10:32 < esalazioneHg> uhm...is it a good thing? o.0 10:33 < [7]> well, if you did everything correctly this means that the flash chip itself didn't notice that some erase operations weren't performed at all, which is rather odd 10:34 < [7]> i mean, it's not one flipped bit, but rather 16800 out of 16896 bits of each page not being erased correctly... the chip should really have noticed that 10:36 < [7]> but on the other hand, I don't think that disk mode would even notice this... judging from the speed it must be relying on the data that the chip reports, and probably won't touch these blocks at all during initialization 11:20 < esalazioneHg> uhm... 11:21 < [7]> so yeah, I don't really understand why disk mode is not doing reinitialization 11:21 < esalazioneHg> if it's right...why rockbox < 3.7.1 worked well with rockbox bootloader and > 3.7.1 hangs in some seconds? 11:21 < esalazioneHg> what's the big difference between those version? 11:21 < [7]> the rockbox issues (and also weird disk mode behavior) were probably caused by an inconsistend FTL state 11:22 < [7]> now we wiped the flash in order to let disk mode recreate all the structures, but it refuses to do that for some reason 11:22 < esalazioneHg> i read somewhere that it uses a different method (AMD? i don't remember) that was not used in 3.7.1 and earlyer...is it right? 11:25 < [7]> well, there's a whole lot of differences between these versions, including some FTL fixes 11:26 < esalazioneHg> maybe those fixes don't work on some ipod while the previous situation still works.... 11:26 < esalazioneHg> can we manipulate FTL directly? 11:26 < esalazioneHg> so we can initialize it manually and/or discover what's happening 11:27 < esalazioneHg> ? 11:27 < user890104> [7]: or maybe write an ftl dump from another ipod? 11:27 < [7]> the problem is that we have no code to initialize it, we didn't bother to look deeper once normal read/write access worked 11:28 < [7]> user890104: might work, but will probably incorrectly flag some blocks as bad... could help diagnosing at least 11:28 < [7]> however we don't yet have a way to write an image to the flash - we should probably implement that 11:30 < user890104> i thought that if there is a dump command, there should also be a write one 11:31 < [7]> well, nobody bothered :) 11:32 < [7]> user890104: so you have a non-testsigning libusb? 11:32 * [7] still hasn't fixed his driver mess 11:33 < user890104> i think i'm using the signed version (which has some bug iirc) 11:33 < user890104> so windows doesn't complain 11:34 < user890104> and it hadn't crashed the windows kernel so far, so i'm happy with it :) 11:35 < esalazioneHg> what about doing something like that? is it possible or the flashing did it unpossible? http://ipl.derpapst.eu/wiki/Restore_without_iTunes#Restore_the_Disk_Layout 11:35 < esalazioneHg> if i can restore the vfat partition i can, at least, add the appleos.bin file and maybe also a .rockbox dir 11:36 < [7]> the problem you're dealing with is at a lower level 11:37 < esalazioneHg> my most priority in that, doing those test, i can still use some firmware to use my ipod....after that i can do every test that can helps :) 11:38 < esalazioneHg> if i can still return using my ipod at some time, i'll be happy :D 11:57 < [7]> hm, the libusb changelog claims that everything from 1.2.0.0 onwards would be signed, but 1.2.5.0 clearly isn't 11:57 < [7]> user890104: which version are you using? 12:11 < user890104> [7]: 1.2.1.0 12:11 < user890104> and it says "not digitally signed" .. wtf?! 12:12 < user890104> http://i.imgur.com/W4UBq.png 12:12 < user890104> i'm using the same driver with my AVR Dragon :) 12:14 < user890104> but windows installs it and doesn't complain 12:14 < user890104> well, it complains a bit during the installation 12:14 < user890104> but it works then 12:15 < [7]> so you have testsigning enabled? 12:15 < [7]> or is that 32bit windows? 12:15 < user890104> no, i boot windows the normal way 12:16 < user890104> it's x64 12:16 < [7]> that's weird... it refuses to start the driver here 12:16 < [7]> er, why on earth does the nand access code in emcore.py use hardwired addresses instead of malloc? 12:17 < user890104> it did the same with the winavr driver, but i replaced the binaries with the ones i'm using with the freemyipod driver and it worked 12:17 < [7]> can you send me that .sys binary? 12:17 < user890104> yeah 12:18 < user890104> this is my bcdedit configuration: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EiHj5g15 12:18 < user890104> so it's the default + GRUB 12:21 < user890104> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-421df8c3.html 12:22 < user890104> well, it looks like the files are signed 12:22 < user890104> but device manager lists them as unsigned 12:25 < [7]> indeed, that one is signed 12:26 < user890104> tbh i don't remember where did i get these from 12:28 -!- [Saint] [~Saint]@101.98.129.152] has joined #freemyipod-support 13:58 -!- benedikt93 [~benedikt9@unaffiliated/benedikt93] has joined #freemyipod-support 14:18 < [7]> esalazioneHg: update your emcore.py, and download this file: http://files.freemyipod.org/misc/clean_ftl_2555D5EC.tar.bz2 14:19 < esalazioneHg> ok 14:19 < [7]> extract it, and run sudo python emcore.py ipodnano2g_restorenand clean_ftl_2555D5EC/clean_ftl_2555D5EC 14:20 < [7]> and hope for the best :) 14:21 < esalazioneHg> lol 14:21 < esalazioneHg> it doesen't sound good :D 14:21 < esalazioneHg> i'm going to emCORE console first, it's ok?

16:25 < esalazioneHg> yes, and 1 .ogg, 1.mp3 16:25 < esalazioneHg> i'm rebooting 16:25 < user890104> give it a try for like 30 minutes 16:26 < user890104> if it works fine, then the issue was in the flash memory, not it rockbox 16:26 < user890104> but if it doesn't... 16:27 < esalazioneHg> the .ogg hangs after 3 secs 16:28 < user890104> everything hangs and the display doesn't update anymore 16:28 < user890104> or it stutters on the last sound? 16:28 < esalazioneHg> it's silent 16:28 < esalazioneHg> i rebooted, it shows "FTL cleaning" or similar...i'll retry with mp3 16:28 < user890104> ok, try the older rockbox 16:29 < user890104> this is normal, since it was not shut down properly 16:29 < user890104> another thing you can try is to upload the same file a couple of times 16:29 < esalazioneHg> mp3 hangs after 3 secs too 16:29 < user890104> and try the different copies 16:29 < user890104> it could be because of flash memory damage 16:30 < user890104> but it's unlikely 16:31 < esalazioneHg> i entered rockbox, plugged in the ipod and.... 16:31 < esalazioneHg> *PANIC* 16:31 < esalazioneHg> FTL: Scheduling bank 0 block 5426 for remap 16:33 < user890104> this is from rockbox, and not from emcore?

16:37 < [7]> are you sure that this is an ipod-side problem and not just some linux-related screwup? (i've seen enough of the latter, but usually not with apple code but rather with ours= 16:37 < esalazioneHg> i think it's an ipod problem because the panic message is shown on the ipod, not in the linux terminal 16:38 < [7]> i meant the disk mode issue 16:38 < esalazioneHg> first time i entered disk mode through rockbox fallback image it worked...from the .rockbox user890104's build it panic 16:38 * [7] is puzzled? 16:39 < user890104> it is the same binary 16:39 < user890104> the rockbox build and the fallback build 16:39 < [7]> how do you enter disk mode through rockbox? 16:39 < esalazioneHg> boot rockbox, plug the usb 16:40 < [7]> huh? 16:41 < esalazioneHg> i boot emCORE, i click on rockbox icon, theni insert the ipod cable 16:41 < [7]> well, that's not disk mode 16:42 < esalazioneHg> uhm 16:44 < esalazioneHg> so...what "boot the rockbox fallback image, and use it as disk mode" does mean? 16:46 < [7]> "use it to copy the files" would have been the better explanation 16:46 < esalazioneHg> i still can't understand...how can i do that? 16:47 < [7]> he just meant to tell you that you can copy rockbox that way as well (as I instructed you before) if disk mode is acting up 16:47 < [7]> but you'll need the real apple disk mode to flag the bad block 16:48 < esalazioneHg> if i can boot disk mode once again, or if i can acces the flash in some ways, i can add .boot/appleos.bin 16:49 < esalazioneHg> if i format the data partition the fallback image permit me to acces the partition as i did before? 16:51 < [7]> most likely not 16:51 < esalazioneHg> and if i do the restorenand again? 16:52 < [7]> anyway, you should really try to fix the root cause and not just poke around randomly to get it to work briefly and fail again a minute later 16:52 -!- STeeF [~STeeF@office.hostnetbv.nl] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 17:15 < esalazioneHg> launching the apple's firmware and letting its disk mode correct the sector?

it should be like 2 days ago 18:58 < esalazioneHg> let's try booting apple's and rockbox first 18:58 < esalazioneHg> my xterm console is closed :D 18:58 < user890104> there's no reason why apple's firmware won't work 18:58 < user890104> i mean the console on ipod's screen 18:58 < esalazioneHg> but there's reason for rockbox 18:59 < esalazioneHg> not a problem..i like terminal-style screen :D 18:59 < user890104> well ... 19:00 < user890104> it would draw on the top of the boot menu when you scroll the clickwheel or press buttons 19:00 < esalazioneHg> i've seen :D 19:00 < esalazioneHg> 3.9.1 still hangs 19:00 < user890104> ok, use 3.7.1 then 19:01 < esalazioneHg> i'll try disk mode 19:01 < user890104> if it works fine for some time, we can try to find the problem in the latter versions of rockbox 19:02 < esalazioneHg> disk mode still not work 19:03 < user890104> disk mode from the menu? 19:03 < esalazioneHg> yep 19:04 < user890104> well ... my suggestion would be to restore with itunes, then uninstall emcore 19:05 < user890104> then reinstall either emcore or the rockbox bootloader 19:05 < user890104> using their utility 19:06 < esalazioneHg> you mean ipodpatcher? 19:06 < user890104> no 19:06 < user890104> http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/RockboxUtility 19:06 < user890104> well you can use ipodpatcher of course 19:06 < user890104> and manually extract the files 19:06 < esalazioneHg> is there a way to "restore with itunes" on Debian? 19:07 < user890104> well ... not actually 19:07 < esalazioneHg> uff 19:07 < user890104> unless you make a VM with windows 19:08 < esalazioneHg> i'll try wine 19:08 < user890104> it won't be successful 19:08 < user890104> i don't know if itunes would install 19:08 < esalazioneHg> ok..i'll use a win XP i have on a pc 19:09 < user890104> i think you can write apple's firmware to the firmware partition manually 19:09 < user890104> but i don't know any more details 19:09 < user890104> i have a windows xp VM with itunes for such cases :) 19:09 < esalazioneHg> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 19:12 < esalazioneHg> it seems rockbox bootloader is less invasive... 19:12 < esalazioneHg> (rockbox 3.7.1 still not working) 19:15 < esalazioneHg> playonlinux , a wine "facility", have itunes10 and itunes7 19:15 < user890104> you are free to try to restore it somehow 19:16 < user890104> in order to get it recognized by itunes, you need to be either in disk mode, or in apple's OS 19:40 -!- esalazioneHg [~nay@net-93-71-74-130.cust.dsl.vodafone.it] has left #freemyipod-support 20:10 -!- esalazioneHg [~nay@net-93-71-74-130.cust.dsl.vodafone.it] has joined #freemyipod-support 20:48 -!- liar [~liar@clnet-p09-185.ikbnet.co.at] has quit [Quit: hallowed are the ori!] 20:51 < user890104> esalazioneHg: what's running on your ipod so far? 20:52 < esalazioneHg> i restored it and uninstalled emCORE 20:52 < esalazioneHg> i'm chosing bethween emCORE and rb bootloader 20:53 < esalazioneHg> i think i'll chose the second one...worked well...or do you think emcore is better for some reason? i.e. tests 20:57 < user890104> emcore is more functional for developers 20:57 < user890104> my personal preference would be emcore, with apple's firmware partition left undeleted 20:57 < esalazioneHg> now that's restored, i can uninstall emcore when i want without problem? 20:57 < user890104> so you can install/uninstall it without ever requiring itunes 20:57 < esalazioneHg> perfect 20:58 < user890104> only if you leave the firmware partition 20:58 < user890104> otherwise you need to restore again 20:59 < esalazioneHg> what amcore version should i run to help you? 20:59 < esalazioneHg> r773? 21:01 < [7]> seriously, i think you help us most by avoiding any trouble in the future, i.e. sticking with apple as much as possible => using the rockbox bootloader 21:01 < [7]> emcore is highly experimental software 21:05 < esalazioneHg> lol! 21:05 < esalazioneHg> it can't helps you to find out bugs, etc? 21:05 < esalazioneHg> i came here only to try to find out why version >3.7.1 don't work for someone... 21:06 < esalazioneHg> otherwise i'd continued with 3.7.1 :P 21:06 < user890104> if >3.7.1 doesn't also work with rockbox's bootloader, you should complain to them 21:07 < user890104> the nano2g build is marked as stable, so it's supported by the rockbox community 21:10 < esalazioneHg> i said it in the #rockbox and they suggested me to use amcore... 21:10 < esalazioneHg> then i found problem with emcore 21:10 < user890104> the problem was in your ipod's flash, which should be fixed now 21:11 < esalazioneHg> ok, i'll try with rb bootloader 22:55 -!- esalazioneHg [~nay@net-93-71-74-130.cust.dsl.vodafone.it] has left #freemyipod-support --- Log closed Fri Oct 14 00:14:26 2011
