The .ipsw file is a zip file - unzip it, and you will have a Firmware-XXXX file.  This is the image of your firmware partition.

I downloaded and unzipped the file, but the size is too much smaller than the original bootpartition.bin.

iPod video 60gb:   Original bootpartition.bin = 109 MB

                             Firmware downloaded = 13 MB

Is this right?

linuxstb:
Yes, that's right - your firmware partition is mostly empty.

Thank you, linuxstb.

Just one more question.

Renaming the downloaded file as bootloader then using ipodptacher N -w bootloader.bin, has the same result as using the original bootpartition.bin with ipodpatcher N -w bootpartition.bin ?

Both methods preserve all music on iPod?

linuxstb:
Yes.

One word of warning - your ipod may choose to update the content of its flash after you write the new firmware image.  If your ipod does this, connect to a charger (as it instructs) and let it finish.  Interrupting that flashing process (which also happens when you upgrade the firmware with itunes) will almost certainly brick your ipod.

ryran:
Yes. Almost certainly.
