Super Mario Theme for v1.0 firmware: http://extremeipod.jconserv.net/download.php?id=2

Enjoy!

 

The theme is not loaded onto the firmware in your second link. I'm assuming your just taking the two files I posted, and it isn't with the firmware because the file was to big to upload to your site.

So, that second link needs to be applied to a firmware for a Video iPod before it can be used, just to avoid confusion.

 

Oh, okay, sorry about that. I will change the upload quota in a little bit. ;-)

 

Lethal--

Everything has gone right when I follow the tut. But, when I get to step 11, instead of it rebooting the original firmware, it opens up and has a folder that says "apple.com/support". I didn't do anything wrong that I know of. Any suggestions?

 

Oh and on the pic in step 10, instead of mine saying:
Wrote 1193856 bytes plus 0 bytes padding, mine says:
Wrote 5896752 bytes plus 464 bytes padding, then I disconnected. Could this be the problem? How do I fix this?

 

Multi posting there Jazo

Are you sure your folder for Rockbox is in the root folder of the iPod? If it isn't I could see it messing up the original iPod firmware. When you uninstall Rockbox does your firmware work again?

 

LOL, DarkJello, naw, multiposting is just posting the same question in multiple threads. ;-)

I haven't tried uninstalling Rockbox yet, but I will when I get home to see if it can still boot the original firmware. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Whatever, something along the lines of multiposting.


But onward with my question! Could someone go through what I'm supposed to do to add a theme? I don't think I'm making it work properly.

 

Sorry for not being specific, Rockbox is what I need help with. I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be adding what files.

 

Hey, why is it that strings of 7 chars or less are supported? Can you tell me specifically why and if there is a way to get around it - you cant do much with 7 letters.

 

Hey do any of u guys know any good guides that teaches you how to make good themes for the ipod, preferablly 5g, nano or 4g. Cuz i wana make themes but have no idea where to start:S
thanks

 

So I"m having a bit of a problem uninstalling rockbox. I tried the -w * bootpartition.bin and rebooted but no luck, rockbox still loads...and yes I did replace the * with the correct #. Any ideas or thoughts?

edit:

So I don't know if this is really that bad, but I just deleted everything to do with rockbox, and now I just get an error screen and then the origional apple firmware loads.

 

I cant wait for the iPodLinux tutorial! Congrats Lethal_B you have created these guides so well that even a modding rookie could understand. Keep up the good work :~)

Thanks in advance!

sorry for doubble post dont know what happend

 

Cool...so could you put the video iPod firmwire on your nano and play videos??! That would be fun lol

 

Doesn't work like that. The iPod updater is the same for all iPods and it then finds out what kind of iPod you are using. Just tricking the firmware into thinking it was a Video iPod wouldn't work simply because the hardware in the Video iPod is different from that of the Nano.
