Same thing, run time error 53, also when I was trying to do the openiboot on linux it said I needed to be in recovery mode, and I was (the whole itunes logo/usb thing going on). It didn't recognize my iPhone pretty much >.<

well a) try the new iPhoDroid. and b) when in linux you need it to change the settings so that it sees it.

Im not sure if your using WMware but when in terminal (put ipod in recovery) at the top click "virtual machine" and then "removable devices" then look for something saying like "ipod recovery" and then make sure it has a tick next to it. if it doesnt click on it and then click "connect (disconnect from host)".

That will disconnect from your windows and connect it to ubuntu. Thus will make it recognise it. Happy
