    • Once the installation of the firmware, themes and games has been completed, it's time for the most challenging part... the bootloader.

    • Check the bootloader checkbox.

    • Click install again.

    • You must follow the on-screen instructions in order for this to work. Pay close attention to the console. Make the window bigger so you can interpret the text easier.

    • When this message appears in the console, press and hold both the MENU and the SELECT button until there is a message in the console telling you to release the buttons.

    • It is important to do this quickly, otherwise the process can fail requiring you to re-do everything in this step.

    • If this process has been successful, you will see that Rockbox has started on your iPod and a success message will appear on the console.

    • One other thing from my experience is that the console may take obnoxiously long to tell you the installation was successful but the iPod is running Rockbox just fine. You should be OK to remove your iPod anyways.

    Where is the MUTE button on an Ipod classic?

Rockbox failed to install on mine. I followed every step but never got the message to press and hold select and menu for the bootloader. It said it had installed sucessfully but when it booted up I just got error -3. I put it in disc mode and deleted the software but it didn’t put it back to factory settings. Tried to install again but got the same thing except it said bootloader was already installed when I tried the last step. I’m afraid it is now bricked. :(

From my experience if you run into trouble like that youll need to detete the MBR (master boot record) then delete all partitions. Next you create a new Fat32 Partition and finally you will Format the Partition also as Fat32 all I use is AOMIE Partition Assistant and its FREE. Then Apple iTunes will detect it soon as you start your ipod and plug in to computer, will be detected as an iPod in recovery mode. From there I think you know the rest from there. I hope that helped even if a little to late for supper. Lol

I tried to install Rockbox onto my iPod Classic 160GB, and I got no results , as a matter of fact; I got negative results asuch as I am not able to restore my iPod Classic in iTunes on my Mac, and I can’t listen to any of my music on the device, even though it appears as though my music is still there. Please help 911 because this is one of my favorite Apple devices of all time!

Can you put this on a 7th gen classic?

I quite literally hit install on everything unplugged it at 99 percent because everything was done at that point then booted it up in normal iPod mode and plugged it back in and it loaded the rest of the files on to the iPod. Then proceeded to boot up Rockbox and to my amazement it was successful. Now enjoying my Rockboxed iPod because screw iTunes.

From what I understand from both reading and discussion with others. If you try to do that big of an install from a Mac, oddly enough the iPod/iFlash/Rockbox will generally fail. However if you can get your hands on a Windows machine you should have no issues. I know, weird huh being the iPod and Mac's are BOTH Apple!!!!

So, do I no longer sync my ipod with itunes? And will Rockbox save all the data from itunes? The plays, the dates added, the ratings etc?

Willie - Ответить

No you shouldnt boot into Apple iOS on iPod 6 or 7 gen. In most cases youll loose everything and have to do it all over again.

It works completely fine until I try to install the bootloader but it says Could not open Ipod: permission denied
