iPod 7th Gen Working On Manual Install

(1/4) > >>

jimthedj65:
After some 3 days of playing around, I managed to get my 7th Generation iPod working, the instructions are a bit basic, I could make a video if it helps..

1. I completely restored my ipod with itunes, stopped ihelper in the task manager. 

2. Downloaded and ran https://files.freemyipod.org/~user890104/bootloader-ipodclassic-v8-designware/RockboxBootloaderInstaller_iPodClassic_v8+DesignWare.exe (BETA) to load the bootloader, I got a fail on the cannot load  rockbox.ipod, when it restarted,

3. then I downloaded http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-ipod6g.zip unzipped and manually copied it over to my iPod, rebooted and it worked.

hope it helps.

Hi jimthed,

I tried to do same in my Nano 7G but nothing happened. I unzipped the ipod6g.zip files in my iPod and it created .rockbox and that has many subfolders and files inside and then I restarted iPod again but nothing happened/ I pressed lock+home button together. What did you do exactly to install rockbox on nano 7g? Can u pls suggest how to reboot if there is any other way. I tried to use ipodpatcher but it did not work. Pls help. Thanks.

Regards,
Akash

Oh. Is there any way I can do something? Or any other Firmware for nano 7G? I did mistake that I exchanged my Nano 1st G under nano replacement program and 7G sound is just like crap. No where near 1G. I am not sure if installing other firmware will change anything but I want to try at least. Also trying to buy old nano 1g. Pls help if some other firmware to sound nano 7G better or any other option. Thanks.
