This is my iPod Nano 1G 2GB running iPodLinux and MV Player 2. With that player, you can play (converted,) COMPRESSED VIDEOS! As you can see, this is For The Birds, by Pixar.

THIS WORKS MUUUUUUCCCCHHH BETTER THAN THE OFFICIAL INSTALLER!!

Best iPod Linux Install Tutorial Part 2

READ THIS FIRST!!!
This tutorial will help you install iGamegear, igpSP, idarcnes, iPod Mame, and pretty much every other emulator except for iGens. It also installs rockbox and a few other applications.

Directions for step 1:
Go to http://www.box.net/shared/ygzh8rc45y and download iLaunch2.1 Folder Structure.zip. Extract the zip to the root of your iPod. Go to the root of your iPod and open the folder "iLaunch." Right-click the file "iDoom" and go back to the root of your iPod. Now open the folder "iDoom" then open the folder "Doom 1." Paste the file you copied earlier in this folder. It will ask you if you want to replace a file so click "yes." Go back to the root of your iPod and open the "iLaunch" folder again. Now delete the file "iDoom." Google "gba_bios.bin" and download it. (It should be the first link that shows up) Go back to the root of your iPod and open the folder "igpSP." Move the file "gba_bios.bin" to this folder.

Directions for step 2:
Go to http://www.rockbox.org and click the "current builds" link. Download and extract the correct rockbox build to the root of your ipod.

Directions for step 3:
Open up notepad and paste the following text into it:

Apple OS @ ramimg
iPodLinux @ (hd0,1)/linux.bin
Rockbox @ (hd0,1)/.rockbox/rockbox.ipod
iLaunch @ (hd0,1)/linux.bin /mnt/iLaunch/iLaunch
Disk Mode @ diskmode
Sleep @ standby

Click file,save as. In the save as type box, change it to "all files." Name the file "loader.cfg" and save it to the root of your iPod.
Congratulations, you're done!

Best iPod Linux Install Tutorial Part 1

READ THIS FIRST!!!
A lot of people have been having problems, getting all sorts of errors like:
"unable to modify firmware error 10"
I'm here to end that. This tutorial will install iPod Linux to your iPod without any errors. And the best part is: YOU WON'T LOSE ANY MUSIC OR DATA USING THIS TUTORIAL!!!

IMPORTANT

Preparing you ipod:
Hold the MENU and CENTER buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Apple logo appears, hold the CENTER and PLAY buttons until your iPod goes into DISK MODE.

Directions for step 1:
Go to http://www.ipodlinux.org/sysinfo and follow the directions to fix your sysinfo. NOTE: You can skip this step if you have firmware version 1.1 or lower.

Directions for step 2:
Go to http://www.ipodlinux.org/ipodlinux_manager and download and unzip the iPod Linux Manager to your desktop. Run iPodLinux Manager.bat and click NEXT to begin installation. Wait for the installation to complete and click FINISH. Your iPod will automatically eject and iPod Linux will be installed.

This installer is confirmed to work on:

  • 2nd Generation iPod Mini
  • 5.5G 80GB iPod Video
  • 5.5G 30GB iPod Video
  • 5G 30GB iPod Video
  • Monochrome 4G iPod
  • Photo 4G iPod
  • 1G Nano
This installer will definitely NOT work on a second generation iPod Nano

Hope this helps :)

ipod Linux and Rockbox install tutorial

How to install ipod linux and rockbox.

Note
There is a new update for XP and Vista that won't allow the ipod patcher to work, causing the 'unable to modify firmware' error. If you have this update installed, you will not be able to install ipod linux.
You will no longer get the unable to find kernel error, but you will still have to manually install it.
Please read this before asking questions.

Linux: Installing iPodLinux on iPod Nano



This video is about installing iPodLinux to iPod Nano player. Installation process taken from arab_freak's tutorial.

Notes from creator of this video

The one crucial part to remember is that whenver you enter disk mode, you must do it BEFORE the apple logo appears or you may have to start over.

So far not one iPod has been "bricked" from installing iPodLinux, but anything is possible. The maker of this video as well as the contributors to iPodLinux are NOT responsible for anything that happens to your iPod or your computer while attempting this, BUT several users will assist you if you need help. Just visit the iPodLinux forums. Please read around before you post your problem.

This video has nothing to do with Apple Inc. This video is for educational purposes only.

Final note: pause the video to read the text!
