Shrinking OF Partition on iPod(nano)
« on: February 13, 2008, 12:52:21 PM »
I have shrunk first partition on my 4G nano long time ago.
For 1GB users it would be great to have 78MB more space.
And it just works fine.

It involves hex editing of MBR and OF Partition and revisible (restore)

Hopefully someone might share MBR for other users.

Partition 1 will contain STOP sign, firmware structure(only osos related), Bootloader code in order and it's only 65.5KB(97KB including MBR) compared to that 78MB of untouched.

edit: I'll wikify it later.
edit: I broke my nano... pm me if you really need this

Perhaps you'd care to write a guide on exactly what to do, and place it in the wiki ?
