===============================================
RockboxUtility
Development Version 1.4.1-bootloader_ipod6g-ps8
http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1221/8
===============================================

This build of RockboxUtility.exe is patched to support the installation/
uninstallation of a dual-bootloader on iPod Classic 6G.

Needs a local bootloader file (bootloader-ipod6g.ipod) located in the
same folder as RockboxUtility.exe

See prerequisites section on README.mk6gboot.txt before installing the
bootloader for the first time.

To operate dual firmware, see README.mk6gboot.txt (Dual-Boot section).


Known issues:

- While installing/uninstalling the bootloader, do not close the progress
  dialog using the close window button (top-right), use the 'Abort' button
  to do that. If the progress window is closed using top-right [X] button
  then the install/uninstall process continues on the background and
  anything could happen, close the whole RockboxUtility and relaunch it
  again.

- Rockbox Utility detects when iTunes.exe is running and emits a warning
  requesting the user to close it, then iTunesHelper.exe is suspended
  (and resumed at the end of the bootloader installation process). If for
  any reason iTunesHelper.exe is running and the iPod enters DFU mode,
  you will see on your PC an Apple dialog asking for iPod repair and
  restore, CANCEL it, close iTunes, kill iTunesHelper.exe using the Task
  Manager, close Rockbox Utility, reboot the iPod and start again from the
  beginning. AFAIK all data is lost when the iPod is restored by iTunes.

- When your iPod is running Rockbox FW and it is connected to the PC,
  iTunes might tell you that there is a new FW version (1.5) available,
  ignore it. For iTunes to work properly, the iPod must run Apple firmwre.

- Some users are reporting failures when Configuration window is opened
  (Visual C++ Runtime Library error), ATM it is unknown what causes these
  issues and how to solve them, alternative options:
  a) do a 'manual' install using mk6gboot.exe, it is not so difficult,
     see README.mk6gboot.txt (Command line install section) for detailed
     instructions. Once the bootloader is installed, you can try the
     latest official Rockbox Utility to update Rockbox and themes.
  b) try on different computer and/or operating system.
