- Download the "installer-ipodclassic.ubi" file from the emCORE Releases page
- Save it to the 64MB-sized "UMSboot" volume
- Safely eject (or unmount on linux) that volume
- Disconnect your iPod from your PC
- Follow the on-screen instructions
If everything worked right, you should now see the emCORE boot menu. If not, please ask for support.
- Choose the "Rockbox" option
- Wait for Rockbox to boot (Complaints about the rockbox.ipod file being missing are normal at this point.)
- Connect your iPod to your computer
- Wait for the iPod's hard disk drive to connect and become accessible (this might take longer than a minute)
- Download the "rockbox-ipodclassic.zip" file from the emCORE Releases page
- Extract its contents to the root directory of your iPod's hard disk drive
- Safely eject (or unmount on linux) your iPod's hard disk drive
- Disconnect your iPod from your PC
- Wait for Rockbox to return to the main menu (may take around half a minute)
- Shut down Rockbox by holding the play button for several seconds
Congratulations, you have successfully installed emCORE and Rockbox!
Optional: You can install fastboot so Rockbox boots as soon as the iPod is powered on.
Be careful with picking up the correct fastboot version, because recovery is difficult on Windows
