First of all i have to excuse myself... i'm not very used to mailing lists and i'm also not in the mailinglist of your project.

Duh... please read here: http://www.ipodlinux.org/Firmware > Surprisingly, you can modify it at will, the iPod will boot anyway. Not 100% true. A complete new firmware (never used, including osos aupd and rsrc) differs from a already used one. The id (32-bit) of the aupd image is set to zero. If you then restart your iPod it will perform the Flash ROM update and then change the id to 1 (which means that the iPod is decrypting aupd and then flashing it to the Flash ROM). So if you chage the content BEFORE updating the Flash ROM you might have luck and the iPod complaines about a not valid aupd image or in a... well, not so good case it will happily update the Flash ROM and you have a new paper weight because you've "destroyed" B&W DiskMode, DiagnosticMode and the bootloader. _______________________________________________ Linux4nano-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/linux4nano-dev http://www.linux4nano.org
