I have both Rockbox and linux on my ipod along with a bunch of other things with them, namely Doom. I haven't used any of those things for a little more than a year, my problem is I can't seem to remember how to get to the other operating systems. I know it has something to do with disk mode or something like that, switching hold on then off and then pressing middle button + menu button, I just don't remember what to do after the apple icon appears. Any help would be great, I know it's a simple question, I just can't remember what buttons I'm suppose to press. I'm sure this has been dealt with, but I honestly looked through the forums and couldn't find the answer, I'm sure it's in there somewhere but I don't really have time to spend looking through them.
First and foremost....I have not tried this myself...
Quote:A simple soft reset (press the menu button and the play/pause button) is all it takes to switch back to your regular iPod OS. Want to go back to Linux? Press those buttons again; when you see the Apple logo, press the back button, and Linux takes over.
* Reboot iPod: Hold down the Menu and Select buttons.
* Disk Mode: Immidiately hold down the Play and Select buttons as the iPod reboots. 1
* Diagnostic Mode: Hold Rewind and Select buttons as the iPod reboots.
* Non-default Firmware (only when the old ipodloader is installed): Hold Rewind after rebooting the iPod. (Alternatively, switch the hold switch to 'lock position' after rebooting)
The Select button is the one in the Center of the click/scroll wheel.
1 To reach disk mode, connect the iPod to your PC/Mac before starting. Then press and hold the 'Reboot iPod' combination above until the iPod reboots (you'll notice a change on the screen). Quickly move your hand so you are now holding the 'Disk Mode' combination above. You have to do this before the apple logo comes back (or perhaps within 1 second afterwards).
