unable to do ANYTHING!

[rocketnick1414]

My friend unplugged my iPod when I was installing rockbox. I am unable to boot into disk mode, or into any screens, and the screen is blank. It's not a battery problem. The computer can't find it, and I have NO idea what to do.:unsure: I have an iPod nano 1 gen. Thanks will be given

Try troubleshooting your ipod to see if it will restart.

Toggle Hold on and off a few times, leave to off then hold down select and menu. Eventually you should see something going on if it worked.

Edit: jomal beat me too it

I hate when people post that
because theres always a better answer

when he unpluged your ipod im assumming it was when you where installing the bootloader otherwise nothing would have happened


try this for me
hold menu+center.
your ipod should reboot
after you reboot put hold on
If it Boots apple OS then that means your bootloader was successfully installed all you need to do is copy your .rockbox folder into there

If not you need to restore your origional bootloader
you can do this by wrighting any bin file to your ipod via ipodwizard

if you want original frimware you can get it here

http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

select the one for you ipod
download it
change the file extension to .zip
extract the bin file using winzip
load it to your ipod

Actually, NOTHING worked !!! It doesn't boot or show anything. Any suggestions. I can't even get it into boot mode!

[Forgoten Dynasty]

Did you try holding center+menu

might sound dumb but make sure you have hold off when you do it

then while its rebooting flick hold on

[rocketnick1414]

It DOESN'T reboot! No matter what.

[Forgoten Dynasty]

Plug it in
then reboot
the battery could be dead

note you need to hold Menu+center for like 5 seconds

[rocketnick1414]

It's already plugged in, nothing is on the screen, i dobt it is out of battery. I still cannot reboot

[Forgoten Dynasty]

at what point did he unplug it

[rocketnick1414]

after the whole thing was done. I updated the iPod software (in iTunes) then he unplugged it. I was already done. THen when I restarted the iPod and went to diagnostics it showed the modded diagnostics. Then i clicked the reset button at the bottom then it "frooze". Any Fix??

[Forgoten Dynasty]

you mean it went to the IPL bootloader?

[rocketnick1414]
