[00:00:21] none forsome reason it wont load the apple logo [00:00:36] what exactly does the ipod do if you attempt to power it on? [00:00:52] it will load the rockbox up but it says no partition [00:01:12] and what do you want to achieve? get rockbox working, or go back to the apple firmware? [00:01:22] go back to apple firmware [00:01:29] just restore it using itunes then [00:01:37] if itunes refuses to do so, try an older version [00:01:37] itunes dont read it [00:01:44] copy trans wont read it [00:01:52] we've had reports of itunes newer than 9.2.1 refusing to work with these old-style ipods [00:01:56] my computer will read it as another drive [00:02:10] you need to boot it into DFU mode [00:02:16] cant even do that [00:02:38] http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Uninstallation [00:02:55] Install iTunes on your computer (if you don't have). We recommend using iTunes to 9.2.1 for this process. [00:02:55] Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB cable (important, otherwise it won't work) [00:02:55] Press and hold the menu and select buttons for between 10 and 15 seconds - click here for a how-to video (The iPod starts to reboot after about 5 seconds, keep holding the buttons until it seems to turn off completely). The display of your iPod should now stay black, and a new USB device called "USB DFU Device" should connect to your PC. [00:02:55] Restore using iTunes [00:03:49] are you trying to follow these instructions? if so, which step are you stuck at? [00:04:04] i do all the steps right but no apple logo comes up [00:04:55] the apple logo is only supposed to come up after itunes has started to restore the ipod [00:05:12] in DFU mode, the screen is supposed to be just black [00:05:49] just do exactly what the instructions say, ignore what the ipod does, and press and hold the button combination for about 12 seconds [00:06:22] man im not having the greatest tries it wont boot up [00:06:24] after that the screen should be black, and itunes should automatically ask you if you want to restore the ipod [00:07:17] trying to go to the 9.2.1 [00:07:46] you need to get the timing right. the button combination needs to be pressed for between 10 and 15 seconds, and there must be a USB connection. if both of that is true, it just can't fail to get into DFU mode (black screen). [00:08:32] gonna try again but i dont think my ipod is powering up and battery is new [00:15:32] is it good when u cant power the ipod back on [00:18:31] *** Quits: djnatas (189cd32e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.156.211.46) (Quit: Page closed) [00:24:56] *** Joins: djnatas (189cd32e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.156.211.46) [00:25:11] ok back sorry bout that had to reboot [00:28:17] ok powered it up downloading 9.2.1 to see if will work worse case scenario i install ubuntu on my laptop [00:29:22] never mind the 9.2.1 is getting an error [00:33:48] i give up [00:34:32] how do i get rock box back at least [00:34:49] its reading 64 mb as umsboot [00:34:53] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_bIDtBohnE [00:35:01] this is how you enter DFU [00:35:20] thats not gonna help me mine just keeps booting to rock box [00:36:28] well, that's what you're doing wrong. you're assuming that if it boots to rockbox, it won't enter DFU. but if you do the steps in the video, it *will* enter DFU, regardless of what's on the screen or what's running on the ipod [00:36:48] it's a hardware feature, like your computer's reset button. it always works [00:37:13] what itunes do i use to restore it as the newer one wont pick it up [00:37:32] use 9.2.1 as noted in the uninstallation instructions [00:37:58] there's a link to a blog post which explains how to uninstall the current itunes version and download&install 92.1. [00:37:58] cant use that wont work on mine i tried the 64 bit it says something itunehelper [00:38:04] 9.2.1 * [00:38:38] do you have a 32-bit windows version? [00:38:42] 64 [00:38:50] well 64 bit should work then [00:39:10] there's a way to uninstall emcore and rockbox without itunes [00:39:16] but it's a bit complicated [00:39:34] theres no delete function on mine [00:40:19] i go into emcore it says emCore [00:40:34] dropped into emCORE console [00:40:41] make sure you're following the ipod classic instructions, not ipod nano instructions [00:40:43] thats what mine saud [00:40:49] the uninstall process is different [00:41:03] my classic isnt even included for rock box as mines the 5th gen [00:41:25] lol [00:41:32] well, you're in the completely wrong place then [00:41:53] if you don't even have emcore, you need to refer to the instructions for whatever you have [00:42:05] as you're saying you have an ipod video, it should be uninstallable by running ipodpatcher -d [00:42:33] to bad couldnt show pics on here other wise id shpw pics [00:42:58] however you're talking about umsboot and emcore, both of which don't exist on ipod video/5g [00:43:06] [00:40:28] dropped into emCORE console << then it's ipod classic, not ipod video [00:43:28] mines classic 80 gigs [00:43:36] that's a 6g then [00:43:44] ok then, and you have emcore installed, right? [00:44:03] according this emcore is there but the ubi file isnt [00:44:19] do you want to fix it so rockbox works, or you want to completely uninstall emcore and rockbox, and revert to the stock firmware? [00:45:07] stock firmware [00:45:24] you don't need an UBI file AT ALL then [00:45:27] when i go into dfu mode this is what it says bout it [00:45:45] and if you refuse to simply follow instructions, but instead insist on randomly messing with things, we can't help you. [00:46:34] "connect to USB. press and hold menu+select for 12 seconds." just do that. don't do anything with the emcore console, umsboot, ubi files, rockbox or whatever. just simply do what I say. [00:47:07] i did that i tried to put the 9.2.1 on my pc and it wont go on [00:48:09] what did the ipod do after you did that? did it just show a black screen? [00:48:50] yes it went to a blank screen but i tunes didnt even open up just came up with the error [00:51:55] got it hope it works [00:53:13] it says zero capacity [01:03:26] now my pc freezes i cant win [01:03:57] what says zero capacity? did we ask you to look for any capacity? [01:04:17] nope itunes picked it up finally [01:04:28] came back said corrupted [01:05:08] itunes 9.2.1 or newer? [01:05:29] and it surely didn't just say "corrupted" [01:05:58] newer 11 [01:06:14] im restoring it now so hopefully it works [01:06:41] * TheSeven gives up [01:07:54] dont give up [01:08:53] well, you're not following our instructions, but doing random things instead, and hoping that they would fix your problem [01:09:21] slow down i got it to read in itunes and yes im following so do be so rude [01:09:38] you need the older itunes version. that's the first problem here [01:09:56] i am using older 9.2.1 dont work on my pc [01:10:02] tried that and no dont work [01:10:13] you can't install it at all, or you can install it but can't start it? [01:10:23] wont let me install it [01:10:38] can you copy the exact error message? [01:11:17] you can press ctrl+c while the message box is on the screen, in order to copy the text and the title of it [01:12:18] it says something bout the library being a new version [01:12:48] ok, copy the exact message [01:12:56] ill try installing 9.2.1 on my laptop since it dont have itunes on it [01:14:18] sounds like a good idea [01:27:21] still no go it reads it as an ipod but itunes still wont take it [01:28:56] it reads it but says ipod is corrupted try and restore it using itunes [01:29:12] ill figure out when i got more time as i got kids to feed [01:58:17] *** Joins: [Saint] (~saint@rockbox/staff/saint) [02:01:17] did everyone leave ?
