Llorean:
Why did you use the bootloader .bin for the 4th generation iPod rather than the 1st generation Mini?

If you just do "ipodpatcher -w 3 bootpartition.bin" it should restore your iPod just fine.

fex905:
Thank you.
Edit: witch exact file or files should remove?

Llorean:
What do you mean by that?

You should do as I told you to restore your iPod, then follow the instructions by actually *reading* them.
4g means 4th Generation, NOT 4 gigabyte (which would be marked 4gb) as is explained in the posting guidelines for the forums, at the very least.
