cannot jailbreak no matter what i do! (ipod video)

[obama]

here's my steps:

my ps3 currently has no disc inside atm. i just updated to 3.41. using ipod video.



here was my process:
1. downloaded rockbox-psgroove installer and installed hermes4b for my ipod video 30gb 5th gen.
2. realized i needed rockbox so i downloaded and installed that onto ipod, then reopened rockbox-psgroove installer to reinstall (overwrite basically). then downloaded hermes4b for ipod video and stuck the new rockbox.ipod into the .rockbox folder.
3. power cycle ps3
4. hook up ipod to ps3, turn on ipod, reset using select+menu, selected psgroove from bluescreen (ipl loader), waited until i saw the menu with files,etc.
5. pressed ps3 power and then eject fast
6. fail! no new 2 options in games.

no idea why. basically, i have a loader.cfg file on my root, a psgroove folder with H4B.ipod file inside, and new rockbox file in rockbox folder. and thats it, rest all standard ipod folders.
also, if i fail the timing, should i turn off ipod and return on or is it ok to leave it in and powercycle the ps3?

i use a nano1g here is what i do i use RockBox-PSGroove_Installer-2.1.1 does it all for you. just make sure you select correct ipod from list. make sure ipod is in disk mode and make sure when its in disk mode to format ipod then rebuild with itunes, when rebuilt use RockBox-PSGroove_Installer-2.1.1 to compile... hope this helps

format and rebuild with itunes? why do you need to do that--dont i lose all my music?

i actually did use rockbox psgroove installer to install the psgroove stuff, but still have my music stuffs.

here's my steps:
3. power cycle ps3

Soft or hard power cycle?

You need (as far as I am aware) to power the machine off fully, by using the switch at the back (fat) or unplugging and replugging (slim).

If you're doing that then the only other thing is to make sure you're doing the button presses quick enough. I put a finger over each button, then hit power and eject just-off simultaneously, holding eject until stuff happens.

It could well be that you need to do what the previous poster said though, I have no idea, just thought I'd stick my oar in in case you were doing something different. If not then ignore me and carry on

4. hook up ipod to ps3, turn on ipod, reset using select+menu, selected psgroove from bluescreen (ipl loader), waited until i saw the menu with files,etc.

don't wait for menu, about half way through load screen hit Power/Eject
