[access-uk] Re: Ipod & rockbox

It also sucks to protect firmware.
Changing the firmware voids your warranty so if people brick their device Apple's off the hook.
The alternative is that a bunch of open-source orientated devs make a device do way more things that the one you bought in the shop did..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Kevin,
I am only surprised they haven't done it before now, because it messes with 
the firmware.  They have with the Iphone.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve,
I have been told that the Ipod Classic can't be flashed with rockbox at the 
moment because of apple putting some sort of encryption on the device.  I
would like to be wrong and if anyone can tell me different I would like to
hear from them.

All the best for the new-year to all the list.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is old ground again.  I've just bought an Ipod Classic 80 GB
for my son for Xmas. I wanted to put rockbox on it to try it out as I quite 
fancy one myself.  I understand though that if I put rock box onto it, I
can't revert back to the old setup afterwards as obviously my son won't want 
the speech.  Is this correct, or is there a way to put the player back to
factory defaults? Also, with the rockbox installed, will it then work like 
a secondary drive and show up in my computer.  And, presumeably, would I
then be able to use normal cut and paste rather than itunes?

Cheers.

Steve
