-In order to make your Ipod load and execute the Rockbox firmware you have just
-installed, you will need to install the Rockbox bootloader. Unless bugs are
-found in the bootloader code, or significant new feature are added, you will
-only have to perform this step once.
+\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
-The following instructions refer to the ``installation folder.'' For Windows
-users, the ``installation folder'' is a folder in the root (top-level) of the C:
-drive called \fname{\textbackslash{}rockbox} (you will obviously need to create
-this folder yourself). For Mac OS X and Linux users, the ``installation
-folder'' is assumed to be the Desktop folder. Note that the bootloader
-installation files should be saved onto your computer's hard disk, \emph{not} on
-your Ipod.
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Make sure you are logged into your computer as Administrator, or a
+user with Administrator privileges and connect your ipod.
+
+\item Download ipodpatcher.exe from
+\download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/win32/ipodpatcher.exe}
+and run it.
+
+\item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about
+your ipod and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox
+bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and ipodpatcher will now
+install the bootloader. After a short time you should see the message
+"[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully." Press ENTER again to exit
+ipodpatcher.
+
+\item Disconnect your ipod in the usual way. The bootloader is now installed.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\item Attach your ipod to your Mac and wait for its icon to appear in
+Finder. If you have configured itunes to open automatically when your
+ipod is attached (the default behaviour), then wait for it to open and
+then quit it. You also need to ensure the "Enable use as disk" option
+is enabled for your ipod in itunes.
+
+\item Open up Disk Utility (in Applications -> Utilities) and click
+on the name of your ipod (e.g. DAVES IPOD) in the list on the left
+pane. Then click on the "unmount" icon at the top. \warn{NOTE: DO NOT click
+on the "eject" icon.}
+
+\item Download and open ipodpatcher.dmg from
+\download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/macosx/ipodpatcher.dmg}
+and then double-click on the ipodpatcher icon inside.
+
+\item If all has gone well, you should see some
+information displayed about your ipod and a message asking you if you
+wish to install the Rockbox bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and
+ipodpatcher will now install the bootloader. After a short time you
+should see the message "[INFO] Bootloader installed successfully." Press
+ENTER again to exit ipodpatcher and then quit the Terminal application.
+
+\item \warn{NOTE: If you received a "Resource busy" error from
+ipodpatcher, then this means you didn't complete step 2). Go back to
+Disk Utility, unmount your ipod and then run ipodpatcher again.}
+
+\item Your ipod will now automatically reconnect itself to your Mac.
+Wait for it to connect, and then eject and unplug it in the normal way.
+NOTE: You should unplug your ipod immediately after ejecting it to
+prevent Rockbox immediately rebooting your ipod into disk mode when it
+detects that your ipod is attached to a computer.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsubsection{Bootloader installation from Linux}
\begin{enumerate}
- \item First, download the \fname{ipodpatcher} tool to your installation
- folder. You can download the \fname{ipodpatcher} tool for your operating
- system at \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/}.
-
- \item Next, download the following file to the installation folder:
-
- \download{bootloader/ipod/\bootloaderfile}
- \opt{ipodmini}{%
- or \download{bootloader/ipod/bootloader-ipodmini2g.ipod}
- depending on which generation your \dap{} is.
- The following page describes the differences between the two
- generations of the \dap{}:
- \url{http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300850}.
- }
-
- \item Next, open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal window (Mac OSX and Linux).
-
- Windows users will perform this and the following steps from the Windows
- command prompt. To start a command prompt, click \fname{start}, and then
- click \fname{Run...}. Type ``cmd'' and press \fname{Enter}. Navigate
- to the installation directory by typing the following command:
+\item Download ipodpatcher from
+\download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/linux32x86/ipodpatcher} (32-bit x86
+binary) or \download{bootloader/ipod/ipodpatcher/linux32x86/ipodpatcher}
+(64-bit amd64 binary). You can save this anywhere you wish, but the next
+steps will assume you've saved it in your home directory.
+
+\item Attach your ipod to your computer.
+
+\item Open up a terminal window and type the following commands:
\begin{code}
- cd \textbackslash{}rockbox
- \end{code}
-
- Mac OS X and Linux/Unix users will perform these steps from the Terminal.
- Start a new terminal window and navigate to the Desktop folder (type cd
- Desktop into the terminal and press enter). You then need to ensure that the
- ipodpatcher program is ``executable'' by typing the command chmod +x
- ipodpatcher and then pressing \fname{Enter}.
-
- \item Connect your Ipod to your computer.
-
- If you haven't already done so, you should now plug your Ipod into your
- computer (via either the USB or Firewire cable).
-
- \fixme{Notes about closing itunes, enabling the ``show ipod as disk'' option
- in ipod, anything else?}
-
- \item Find your Ipod with ipodpatcher (Windows and Linux users only)
-
- Type the following command to search for Ipods attached to
- your computer:
- \begin{code}
- ipodpatcher --scan
- \end{code}
-
- Windows users: when ipodpatcher finds your Ipod, remember the number it displays after the
- words ``disk device''- this will be the number you use to access your Ipod
- in the following steps. So, for example, if ipodpatcher displays ``disk
- device 1'' you will use the number 1 in the commands described below.
-
- Linux users: you will receive something similar to /dev/sda, and will use that
- in the commands described below.
-
- \note{Windows users require administrator rights for running ipodpatcher.
- Either re-login as administrator, or open a command prompt running under an
- administrator account by using one of the "Run as" features of Windows XP.}
-
- \item Find your Ipod (Mac OS X users only)
-
- Attach your Ipod to your Mac (using either USB or Firewire) and wait for
- iTunes to open. When iTunes opens, close it down. In your Terminal window,
- type the command mount and press enter. This will list all the disks (and
- other devices) that are "mounted" on your computer. The last drive in the
- list should be your Ipod. For example:
- \begin{code}
- /dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/DAVE_S IPOD 1 (local, nodev, nosuid)
+ cd $HOME
+ chmod +x ipodpatcher
+ ./ipodpatcher
\end{code}
- In order to install the ipod bootloader, you need to ``unmount'' this disk
- using the following command:
- \begin{code}
- diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s2
- \end{code}
-
- replacing ``/dev/disk1s2'' with the device name Mac OS has assigned to your
- Ipod. This may take a few seconds, after which Mac OS will say ``Volume
- /dev/disk1s2 unmounted.'' ``/dev/disk1s2'' refers to the second partition on
- /dev/disk1 - remember ``/dev/disk1'' for the next step.
-
- It's possible that itunes will try to be ``helpful'' and remount your Ipod
- after you modify it with ipodpatcher. If this happens, you need to unmount
- it again using the above command.
-
- \item Create a backup of your Ipod's firmware partition
-
- Type the following command, replacing ``N'' with the number (for
- Windows users) or the device name (Mac OS X and Unix users) assigned to
- your Ipod that you identified in the previous step:
- \begin{code}
- ipodpatcher N -r bootpartition.bin (Windows)
- \end{code}
- or
- \begin{code}
- ./ipodpatcher N -r bootpartition.bin (Mac OS X/Unix)
- \end{code}
-
- This should create a file in the current folder called
- \fname{bootpartition.bin} (approximately 40MB for the iPod 3G, 4G and
- Color/Photo, 80MB for the Nano 1st gen and 30GB Video, and 112MB for the
- 60GB Video) containing a copy of the ``firmware partition'' from your Ipod.
-
- If it ever becomes necessary (for example, if your Ipod refuses to start),
- you can restore this backup to your Ipod using the command ipodpatcher N -w
- bootpartition.bin (Windows) or ./ipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin (Mac OS
- X/Unix).
-
- \opt{ipodmini}{
- \note{Ipod Mini 2g users need to replace ``1g'' with ``2g'' in the
- following commands.}
- }
-
- \item Install the bootloader.
- Windows users should now type:
- \begin{code}
- ipodpatcher N -a \bootloaderfile
- \end{code}
- %
+\warn{NOTE: You may need to be the root user in order for ipodpatcher to have
+sufficient permission to perform raw disk access to your ipod.}
- and Mac OS X/Unix users should type:
+\item If all has gone well, you should see some information displayed about
+your ipod and a message asking you if you wish to install the Rockbox
+bootloader. Press i followed by ENTER, and ipodpatcher will now install the
+bootloader. After a short time you should see the message "[INFO] Bootloader
+installed successfully." Press ENTER again to exit ipodpatcher.
- \begin{code}
- ./ipodpatcher N -a \bootloaderfile
- \end{code}
+\item Disconnect your ipod in the usual way. The bootloader is now installed.
- Replace N with the number (Windows users) or device name (Mac OS X/Unix
- users) you've been using to access your Ipod.
-
- You can now disconnect your Ipod from your computer in the normal way. This
- should cause your Ipod to reboot and start Rockbox.
-
- \note{If your Ipod displays the message ``Error: -1,'' you have either
- neglected to install a Rockbox build as described in the preceding section,
- or you have extracted the contents of the \fname{.zip} file to some
- directory other than the the root directory of your Ipod. To fix this
- error, following the directions in the preceding section for downloading and
- installing a Daily Build.}
