iPod Modding Tutorials

Thx for the help, i have gotten a theme on my ipod now and changed some strings.

 

Lethal B,

Links are down or dead for the RockBox Tutorial and I can't seem to find it on the site after I searched Please provideo new link or mirror. Also, I have a iPod Video(30Gb) 5g (not 5.5g) I think, But my firmware is the latest (1.2.1) will rockbox still be able to install. And will all my files get deleted on the iPod after I install RockBox.

Thanks Again

 

@ lethal -- how the hell did you do that!? everytime i try (following your tut) i have to force the iPod into disc mode cos when i reboots / turns on (whatever) it just turnes off and gets stuck in an infinate loop.

but im going to try again, cos this kind of sh*t always happens to me, something doesn't work, then when somebody else gets involved it works fine... so now i know it can be done, i'll give it a blast... again

@3dlius -- here you go

 

LMAO!! what i said above is totally true!! lol.

when i tried it ages ago i selected index 4... now i wasn't there so i selected 1 and it worked fine... god i feel like such a tit now!

but other than that... WHOOOOHOOO!!! my pod is pimped, completely!!

 

Ok I installed the rockbox but I'm completely dissapointed unless I did something wrong, like I intiallised database and that but I have a few more problems

- I can't seem to find my videos or does rockbox don't play videos?
- I can't change the fonts, I pres browse fonts but it doesnt do anything.....

Arggh1!

 

erm... i cant remember if its rockbox or linux that cant play videos... im not really bothered about rockbox/linux, so you'll have to wait till lethal_b or darkjello come along...

 

I'm not really satisfied with what I can do with rockbox, might install it tomorrow but I'll give today a rest....
Till tomorrow I suppose

 

Hey Lethal. Haven't talked to you in awhile....but anyways...

Is there an update to the rockbox file downloads in the guide because all the links in your tutorial are out of date and they don't work any more.

 

hey i tried to put a theme on my video ipod i guess that would be a 5g ipod for about an hour last night but it didnt work...i even followed steps from the flash tutorials on the theme forums but no go..the firmware i have on my computer are the the 2005-11-17 one and the another one i cant remember it exactly but i think its 2006-6-23..

if i open updater and use the 2006 one which version of firmware do i have 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2?

I used the 2006 one, loaded my ipod version 13.6.1.1, downloaded my theme that i wanted (1.2 BAPE/ Baby Milo Theme) extracted it to a new folder and used the Load All button on IpW...when i clicked ok, its like nothing happened i scrolled through the pictures and there were no changes..

So later i thought maybe i have to update my ipod with the modified firmware for it to actually look different...went into ipod folder in drive C clicked the 2006 updater...it loads the universal ipod updater, but then exits out and give me an error message so i cant even update my ipod..
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

just write it direct to the iPod. (select ipod in the top left hand side of iPodwizard)

 

i tried that IpW freezes up when i try to do that.

 

make sure you have the latest iTunes... then make sure your firmware is up to date. and also you iPodWizard.

then try it again

 

I have ipod nano and I bought the just with usb cable I connected to my computer and skipped all files from ipod after this my computer wanted not feel my ipod when I uses usb cable
I have reset my ipod but the wanted not work

what!? obviously your from a country that doent speak english. but i'll try to work out what you just said, so i can help.

 

thank you i know iam very bad in english i live in sweden

 

try forcing the iPod into disc mode... to do so hold "MENU + CENTRE" then as soon as the screen / display changes "PLAY + CENTRE" when connected too your computer.

tell me if it works or not.

 

hi thecraigc
unfortunately the works not, always comes apple on scrn and after some second comes image that displays I muste load stream. happens nothing just apple and stream that displays on scrn

 

did you hold "PLAY + CENTRE" immediately after the apple logo appeared?
