[00:01:42] <TheSeven> "You install a custom driver to that device, so ipoddfu can talk to it (exploit a bootrom vulnarability, to be exact)"
[00:01:50] <TheSeven> it doesn't even exploit it in this case ;)
[00:02:04] <TheSeven> it's basically the DFU file that exploits the vuln, not ipoddfu
[00:02:05] <user890104> uhm... right, it's signed by apple :)
[00:02:41] <TheSeven> "You send the first stage of the restore firmware (called "DFU") to the iPod using ipoddfu"
[00:02:48] <TheSeven> that's actually WTF
[00:03:18] <TheSeven> "You send the second stage of the restore firmware (called "WTF") to the iPod using ipoddfu" - that should be "Recovery" then, and is similar to an AUPD image
[00:03:44] <user890104> isn't it called FIRMWARE?
[00:03:53] <user890104> at least the file is named like this
[00:04:13] <TheSeven> possibly
[00:04:24] <TheSeven> although that name is largely confusing
[00:04:38] <TheSeven> "Get an USB-to-iPod cable." - typo
[00:04:51] <user890104> it contains the actual OSOS
[00:05:06] <TheSeven> not at all
[00:05:14] <TheSeven> it contains the boot flash stuff
[00:05:25] <user890104> ah, right
[00:05:32] <user890104> the OSOS is in Firmware-*
[00:05:41] <TheSeven> yes... see the problem ;)
[00:06:24] <TheSeven> "Hold down MENU + SELECT (the center button), and count to 12." - I think you should say 12 seconds there
[00:07:01] <TheSeven> "From the options to the right of the green arrow, select libusb-win32" - any particular reason for that?
[00:07:31] <user890104> "select either winusb or libusb" would be more confusing
[00:07:42] <TheSeven> I'd just leave it at the default (winusb)
[00:07:57] <TheSeven> libusb-win32 has caused way too many BSODs in the past
[00:08:15] <TheSeven> so I prefer to use microsoft's kernel mode part
[00:08:19] <user890104> ok, i'll edit it
[00:10:22] <TheSeven> Desktop is never localized on windows
[00:10:34] <TheSeven> not even on XP IIRC, and certainly not on anything newer
[00:12:06] <user890104> are you sure about that?
[00:13:36] <TheSeven> fairly sure... I haven't found any MS article to quote yet, but I've never seen that being localized and stackoverflow seems to agree with me
[00:13:40] <TheSeven> ipodscsi F: iPod6g writefirmware -p -r Firmware-*
[00:14:04] <TheSeven> is firmware-* safe?
[00:14:15] <user890104> well, i hope so
[00:14:17] <TheSeven> or might that hit e.g. an ipsw file that the user might have thrown on the desktop?
[00:14:24] <user890104> ah, right
[00:14:39] <TheSeven> "Your iPod will reboot. You'll see a black screen with an Apple logo, and a progress bar at the bottom."
[00:14:56] <user890104> they are named iPod_xx.x.x.x.ipsw
[00:14:56] <TheSeven> that would happen after uploading WTF, not after running ipodscsi
[00:15:09] <TheSeven> er, uploading the 1MB file to WTF i mean...
[00:15:13] <user890104> well, that's what happened here
[00:16:25] <TheSeven> hm, it might be happening there as well (because the AUPD image will be marked active after writing the firmware partition)
[00:16:50] <TheSeven> and the WTF-based flasher doesn't show any progress?
[00:17:17] <user890104> i don't think so
[00:29:06] <user890104> let's see how much time it takes to upload a 501 MB video to youtube
[00:29:23] <user890104> i made a proper version of the installation video
[00:29:50] <user890104> (assuming the screen capture i have linked at the moment counts as a video :) )

[21:25:43] <TheSeven> hm, my suggestions above might not be a full fix either
[21:26:28] <TheSeven> we need to consider the case where an overrun occurs while a write is in progress, a read is in progress, or nothing is in progress at all

[23:42:05] <user890104> TheSeven: can we leave only readahead? writeahead sounds tricky to implement to me
[23:42:55] <user890104> or have a slow but stable version, which was my initial idea
