[14:53:06] i was using both methods, but the problem i described occurred when using the "without itunes" method [14:53:40] when im doing it with itunes it gets stuck booting [14:56:11] btw i found a guy on the head-fi forums who is exactly describing the problem i have its "Bibs 90" [14:56:16] http://www.head-fi.org/t/532426/ipod-classic-rockbox-its-happening/2820 [14:56:49] his post starts with "hello everyone" ... and hes very detailed in his describtion [15:07:58] basically when im using the "with itunes" method, once i put the installer .ubi file on the ipod and safely eject, three lines of text appear on the screen under the UMSboot v0.2 info text: [15:08:07] loading UBI file... [15:08:18] rearranging files... [15:08:25] Booting UBI file... [15:08:34] nothing changes after that [15:10:44] can you try a different .ubi file? [15:11:15] https://mega.co.nz/#!QtZn3R7Q!adV4yHPfNl-UbE_9ozLhCFhCSmdntuUo51KYhp5qzQE [15:13:15] just tried your file, same thing happens though [15:15:23] i just noticed sth: when i start the "bootstrap_ipodclassic_itunes.exe, while it says Sucess UMSboot has been launched another window appears and it says "Device Control:Error 31: A connected device does not work" [15:16:06] when i click ok in the USMboot success window i still get the UMSboot device (64mb) in my explorer [15:46:52] this message is harmless, it means that the ipod has disappeared more quickly than windows figured that out [15:48:14] ok good to know but what about the other thing? any idea? [15:53:49] well, the strange thing is that the .ubi file i sent you works on my ipod [15:53:57] it's a classic 2G (120GB) [15:56:00] i think i have the 6g 120gb [15:57:42] you might get better results if you try to install it on a linux pc [15:57:57] apart from that, i can't help you much at the moment [15:58:36] ok btw heres the screen after ejecting the ipod with the "no itunes" method [15:58:45] just so you know [15:58:58] https://mega.co.nz/#!ypQlEDrB!ueTcWlmkAuYtKxsh2X_PaSSQv_36yqXxq8MxcSD3ROs [16:00:30] strange. looks like some models of the classic product line are not supported [16:00:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4aaLWk9WfI [16:00:54] yeah^^ well ok man thx very much for the support though! [16:00:57] this is how a successful installation looks like [16:01:13] :D [16:01:24] i wish i could see that happen on my ipod [16:02:07] i see no reason why it doesn't work [16:02:17] can you check the model number on the back? [16:02:24] it's somewhere to the right [16:02:30] at the bottom [16:02:40] A1238 [16:02:49] as far as i can see, its pretty scretched [16:04:01] mine is the same [16:04:10] just different color [16:04:25] (as you can see) [16:04:58] there's a pretty good chance that it should work for you [16:05:01] u think i should install ubuntu and try that? [16:05:12] im currently using win8.1 [16:05:27] can you reboot it (menu+select), then immediately hold down left+center until you see the diagnostics menu [16:05:59] sdram pass [16:06:15] key pass [16:06:39] wheel pass [16:07:19] ah, you don't need to run the automated tests [16:07:36] hp detect test [16:07:37] just look for HDD SMART data [16:07:42] how?

[18:38:32] yup linux 64 bit [18:38:38] extracted it to desktop [18:38:52] and what happens when you open the folder [18:39:00] and double-click on the rockbox utility file? [18:39:08] nothing [18:39:16] and if i right click it and say open [18:39:21] it does nothing aswell [18:40:00] disconnect the ipod and switch to windows [18:40:04] it should be easier :) [18:40:10] ok ill do that [18:40:24] should i select safely remove or eject? [18:40:32] yes [18:41:20] ok i connected it to my pc -> have a new device ion windows [18:41:38] downloading the utility [18:41:42] ok [18:41:55] running the .exe now [18:42:16] nice it found my ipod [18:42:49] you marked the checkbox "show disabled devices", right?

[18:44:21] you can install them now [18:44:24] it doesn't matter [18:44:34] you can even use the utility to update rockbox [18:44:59] wow this tool is amazing [18:45:51] yes, it is [18:45:57] it saves you a lot of time [18:46:15] so i just hit install [18:46:23] yes [18:46:34] ok here we go [18:47:46] ok installation complete [18:48:12] eject the ipod using the icon in the utility [18:48:30] then wait until the usb plug goes away from the screen [18:48:34] then hold down Play [18:48:42] until it shuts down [18:48:45] and you're done [18:48:48] ok did that [18:49:08] now press any button and enjoy the new firmware [18:49:14] :D [18:49:48] your a great person I have to tell you that! ;) thx again [18:50:01] ah, no problem [18:50:24] so one last thing [18:50:48] to get music on the thing i just use it as a external device and drag&drop? [18:50:56] exactly [18:50:56] no softwar needed? [18:50:59] nice [18:51:22] but the main rockbox installation doesn't work well with file transfers [18:51:38] so go to Tools - Run fallback rockbox image [18:51:47] connect the ipod, transfer what you want [18:51:58] eject it, then turn it off (hodl down Play) [18:52:24] then when you turn it on, use the main rockbox installation (the big rockbox logo in the boot menu) [18:53:00] so i do this everytime i want to put stuff on it? [18:53:04] it's a bit uncomfortable, but apart from that, it should work fine [18:53:05] yes [18:53:14] oh its nothing [18:53:15] think if it as "player mode" and "disk mode" [18:53:23] thanks for the tip [18:53:34] so i have a.apps and a .rockbox folder [18:53:57] do i have to create another one named music or how do i do this [18:54:23] you can put your files everywhere, just not in the .rockbox folder [18:54:28] oh ok [18:54:34] having a Music folder is a good idea [18:54:43] yeah thats what i was thinking ^^ [18:54:44] and that's what most people do (including me) [18:55:38] say i copy an album with some songs into that music folder, do i include the cover art (as .,jpg)? [18:56:03] yes, you can do that, rockbox might even use it [18:56:10] nice [18:56:18] i'm not sure how it should be named [18:56:39] ok man, i really think i bothered you enough for today, i will figure these "little" things out by myself i guess [18:56:40] :D [18:56:46] so thanks again m8 [18:56:46] maybe folder.jpg or something like that [18:56:50] ill try [18:57:01] if you have any rockbox-related question [18:57:08] you can join the channel #rockbox [18:57:18] i will thx [18:57:25] there are even more friendly people there, who can answer your qustions [18:57:40] well although i highly doubt that Ill give it a try ;) [18:58:00] ok, goodbye [18:58:10] bye [18:59:00] *** Quits: TheSimpleJack (bc635aee@gateway/web/freenode/ip.188.99.90.238) (Quit: Page closed) [21:20:11] *** Joins: baudman (55b098d4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.85.176.152.212) [21:24:23] *** Quits: baudman (55b098d4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.85.176.152.212) (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
