iPod Modding Tutorials

dunno man... lethal's the one that deals with rockbox ;-)

not seen him around in a while...

 

Oh okay thanks anyways I guess I'll just wait for Lethal

 

Hey Jaz,long time no see.
What will you call yourself if you get banned again,lol.

 

LMAO. That's a good question. Hopefully I won't get banned again =\ lol.

 

I have not done this yet, but plan on it. my only concern is if i am able to reset to the origional settings, as in before i changed the theme, and in a way that allows me to keep my music ect. without having to get everything deleted and having to re-add all my music?

i plan on downloading the burton theme.. if anyone has any other themes that they would like to link, feel free to.

 

If you want to reset it back to the original state or if something goes wrong, you will have to restore the iPod (deleting all the songs/videos on the iPod). I suggest that you just keep a clean backup of all your songs/vids in your iTunes before trying to do anything to your iPod.

 

or you can put the original theme back on... its much quicker...

you can back it up before you start modding your iPod, or d/l it from iPodWizard.net

go on there... read some stuff ;-)

 

does anyone have the link to the origional Theme for the iPod, i have the iPod video which was purhcased dec. 05 ( i believe 5G)

 

man, cant you read?

try searching...

 

hey guys im new to all this modding and i downloaded a theme and wrote and stuff then i open updater but it wont load. it goes to initializing state then i get a message sayin it has to close. Any suggestions?

 

Hey everyone,
I only just got an iPod, it is an 80gb, and I'm assuming it's a 5.5g. I got it with no box, booklet, cables (I bought them seperately) or software CD.
When I run IpodWizard, it can't see that my iPod is connected. If I select the 'iPod' edit mode, the 'Load Ipod Firmware' button is greyed out, and if I click a button such as 'Downgrade Firmware', it tells me that no iPod is connected.
I have also tried to install iPodLinux, and in the first installation step, it tells me that no iPod is connected.
My iPod shows up in 'My Computer', and also in iTunes (although I am synchronising my iPod with XPlay2).

Is there something I need to install so my computer, or iPodwizard will see my iPod properly?

 

this didnt work for me..i followed all the instructions..i downloaded the 1.0 updater file and when i try to load it the file wont come up..and i know its there cause i havethe folder open with the file in it..and on ipod wizard its not there..any idea's why?

 

did you read anything but the first post?

 

Does your iPod have to be modified to do this? And will this work with Nano 2nd gen? or? im new to this whole ipod scene...bigger fan of zunes...anyway. i get a ipod nano in 2 weeks, and im not sure about some of this but, i've read up and u can only modify a 1st gen nano? am i correct? hmm...anyway but how can i tell if its a 1st gen or another gen?

Thanks.


-sorry if this is a bump-

 

hey guys,

any mods that i can do to a standard 4th gen?

 

@ xbe_xbe -- 1G nano looks like a mini iPod video... 2G nano looks like a mini iPod mini.

@ gfxbss -- go to http://www.ipodwizard.net and read some shit ;-)

 

I followed these instructions for installing the bootloader: http://ipodlinux.org/Loader_2

And I followed these instructions for installing rockbox: http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch2.html

My problem is that rockbox is not appearing as an option in the bootloader, all I get is Apple OS, Disk mode, and sleep.

Any ideas? Maybe I should retype one of thoes lines of code in the command prompt? Allegedly all I had to do was extract the rockbox current build zip file into my ipod drive and it would show up, but its not.

 

when i try to open the updater to update my theme it says "invalid service station" what does this mean
thanks

 

Kulith -- i dont know shit about rockbox

sags -- you dont need an updater -- you do it direct to the iPod

 

craigc, thanks man, thats just what i needed.
