Rockbox Boot-loader won’t recognize Partition for Rockbox

(On a newer Mac so ITunes is not available btw)

I’ve installed rock box before but I saw that some people could switch between original Apple OS and the Rockbox themes so I wanted to be able to do that because mine couldn’t. I erased the iPod, ensuring it was formatted as a MS-DOS(Fat) and had a Master Boot Record scheme.

I expect to be able to just go through the same process I did to get Rockbox the first time, however now my iPod won’t find the partition for Rockbox. And every time I try to install it, it fails in Rockbox utility.
However, after it fails if I switch the iPod back into disk mode the progress in disk utility starts up again and successfully installs. But the Rockbox bootloader on my iPod still fails to recognize the partition saying “no partition found”

Does anyone know any ways of how I can get the boot loader to recognize the partition?

Might’ve bricked my 7th gen classic iPod

I recently tried to get a rock box display on my iPod 7th gen classic. I was at the last step according to the tutorial I was watching when my iPod went black and said something like
“Rockbox Bootloader
No port found
Entering boolander mode”
Then I unplugged it and it turned white with the words
*PANIC MOUNT*
0BT
Someone please tell me if there is any salvaging this I just want to listen to music on a modded iPod classic. Is that too much to ask???
