[03:17:40] *** Joins: random007 (62d21e58@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.210.30.88) [03:20:33] Greetings! I just purchased a 7th gen 160g ipod and have unsuccessfully trying to install rockbox. I get stuck at the emcore installer press menu and play buttons step. Nothing happens whe I do that. [03:27:44] I have a windows 7 computer. [04:26:41] <[Saint]> random007: the installation instructions on the emCORE/Classic wiki has a video description linked. [04:27:26] <[Saint]> If you can't get the device into DFU mode (unless the hardware is damaged, it will ALWAYS enter DFU mode when done correctly) no one can help you. [04:27:33] <[Saint]> We can't automate this step. [04:27:44] <[Saint]> Its something you need to figure out yourself. [04:28:43] <[Saint]> As long as you hold MENU+SELECT for between 12 and 15 seconds, when connected via USB, the hardware can't not enter DFU mode. [04:29:20] <[Saint]> Its important to not go /over/ 15 seconds, though, as then you'll just trigger a reboot.

[05:55:11] so start, when i connect it to the pc, the lcl starts do blink black and white saying loading emcore and he version of it, latest from the tutorial at freemyipod [05:55:19] cant enter dfu [05:56:39] the battery runned out of juice, so then, i restarted the ipod into the emcore menu, and in the toos, i've deleted the configs and data of rockbox. because it refused to open again, because of battery i think. [05:57:12] now the ipod is just showing a black and white blinks witth some text [05:57:34] im not complaning about anything, i now that is a experimental thing and all of that [05:58:09] just asking, if someone have something to say about this [06:07:52] i think that emcore cant load itself from the beggening, resulting in a boot loop [06:08:37] btw, i have an ipod classic 80GB from 2007 [06:41:08] *** Quits: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [06:42:25] *** Joins: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) [08:54:09] *** Quits: random007 (62d21e58@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.210.30.88) (Quit: Page closed) [13:03:59] bricked: that looks like a deeply discharged battery + weak USB port [13:04:24] lock the hold switch, connect it to USB, let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to charge a bit, then unlock the hold switch again and it should start up normally [13:32:28] *** Quits: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [13:33:08] *** Joins: TheSeven (~quassel@rockbox/developer/TheSeven) [19:18:59] gonna try it sir, thank you [19:24:58] btw, is there a way to charge the ipod offline? like in the apple firmware, when you connect the ipod to ac source a battery icon appeared and such, its possible withi emcore? [19:25:13] it will charge while it's off, just slower [19:25:33] did'nt knew it [19:25:46] but it still with the reboot problem [19:26:29] always white screen saying loading emcore ... r859 and them shuts off, and white screen again and so on :S [19:26:52] yes, because you didn't lock the hold switch as I said above [19:27:15] ist just doesn't have enough power to spin up the disk [19:27:22] its locked sir [19:27:26] because you're using a weak USB port [19:27:38] and it won't power up while connecting to USB if the hold switch is locked [19:27:46] right now' its charging with a 1A ac source [19:28:14] i locked the ipod and connected to the ac source and it power up [19:29:57] I've never seen an ipod power up while connecting to USB with the hold switch locked. they just don't do that. [19:30:48] maybe mine is different, because is just bricked :S [19:31:44] last night, it sarted to spin up the disk several times, when connected to ac or usb, maybe that ruinned the drive!? :S [19:32:20] now it stopped flashing the screen. gonna wait a little more, and post news about it [19:33:12] it's alive xD [19:33:24] yes. following instructions actually helps. [19:33:45] now, i cant forget that i cant discharge the battery all the way down :) [19:34:19] btw, another question about last versions of both rockbox and emcore [19:34:35] where can i find the last emcore version for the ipod classic 6g? [19:34:42] on our web site [19:34:44] r859 is the latest? [19:34:50] latest official release, yes [19:34:58] everything else is highly experimental and untested [19:35:32] so, not to install?

I am very new at this but I want to put this onto my ipod Classic! Im runninging into this problem!! [23:11:45] sudo python ipoddfu.py bootstrap-ipodclassic-r859-20120102.dfu Traceback (most recent call last): File "ipoddfu.py", line 32, in dev = libipoddfu.ipoddfu() File "/home/jay/Desktop/libipoddfu.py", line 174, in __init__ raise Exception("Could not find specified DFU device (generation = %d, type = %d)" % (generation, type)) Exception: Could not find specified DFU device (generation = 0, type = 0) [23:12:03] Any help is vastly appreciated!!! [23:13:33] I just want to get FLAC on my ipod [23:13:42] I'm using Linux Mint [23:13:58] so I guess I have to get this on my ipod then install rockbox and add songs with gtkpod?! [23:15:14] with rockbox you can unnistall gtkpod [23:15:25] because rockbox mount the ipod disk as a removable device [23:15:58] oh so first I need to uninstal gtkpod before getting rid of that error? [23:16:32] i dont think so [23:16:46] first of all you installed the emcore by the .ubi file, right? [23:17:06] next you need to enter rockbox fallback image and then connect it to pc [23:17:07] sorry just on this step here: [23:17:08] http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation/iPodClassic/PrepareDFULinux [23:17:21] not sure if I have installed the emcore by the .ubi file [23:17:31] Make sure that you have python 2.6 or newer, libusb and pyusb >=1.0.0a0 installed [23:17:53] Yeah I had some problems installing that but I think I got it [23:17:56] is there a way to check [23:18:15] how do I get python 2.6 I think I have libusb and pyusb [23:18:25] i think they exists, but imho im not a linux expert :S [23:18:30] lol [23:18:33] oops me either! [23:18:53] go google for the python repository [23:18:57] and it [23:19:01] add it* [23:19:43] and run the sudo apt-get update [23:19:55] okay I'm currently trying to do that! [23:20:08] I must have missed python 2.6 I assumed it would already be installed [23:20:19] some distros have them, some not [23:20:21] oh sweet [23:20:27] I think this will do it! [23:20:36] So all I need to do is follow that wiki to get FLAC on my ipod? [23:20:39] no gtkpod? [23:20:44] no [23:21:01] gtkpod is used when you have the apple firmware on it (i thnk) [23:22:01] damn still the same error [23:22:44] do you have the ipod in dfu mode? [23:23:01] because the error says that cannot locate a dfu device [23:23:10] not sure what that is! [23:23:14] so most likely not :p [23:23:20] thanks so much btw bricked [23:23:27] you seem to know more than I do about linux lol [23:23:36] how do I run it in dfu mode [23:23:47] is need to connect the ipod to computer via usb [23:23:54] then try to enter dfu mode [23:24:02] do you know how to do ir right? [23:24:55] press and hold menu+select for about 12seconds [23:25:50] oh yeah I have been doing that when entering that into terminal [23:25:54] so not sure why its not working [23:26:32] you need to put ipod in dfu mode and then execute the phyton script [23:27:31] yeah I have been trying that [23:27:35] I wonder why its not working [23:27:47] because I put it into DFU mode [23:27:49] run the script [23:27:51] and nothing [23:27:54] I wonder if it has to do with [23:28:10] this file: [23:28:11] libipoddfu.py [23:28:17] because I dont think Im using that right now [23:28:40] bootstrap-ipodclassic.dfu do you have it? [23:29:23] yeah [23:29:24] I have [23:29:34] the one from here: [23:29:35] http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Releases/r859 [23:29:47] I didn't have this before though: [23:29:47] installer-ipodclassic.ubi [23:29:51] just downloaded it [23:30:16] soo i dunno sir :S [23:30:31] try to follow the tutorial to the letter [23:30:37] need to go dinner [23:32:42] lol okay [23:32:45] thx for the help!
