**UPDATED**
Reading this may answer questions:

*THIS ONLY WORKS ON VIDEO IPODS, 5th AND 5.5th GENERATION ONLY, NO 6th GEN OR NANOS*

For 5.5g Firmware, the background pic is number 98

-For a list of original themes, go to;
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=24741
-To install them;
1)Open iPodWizard, in the top left, load ipod firmware.
2)On the right, click "load all".
3)Navigate to the folder you downloaded (must be unzipped)
4)Click "Write" and safely eject your iPod.

*NOTE*
-This will not remove any of your data on your iPod (This includes music, photos, video, contacts etc..)
-Do not use if you have any purchased music or games off the iTunes store.
*The reason for this is that your ipod won't be able to play the purchased content, as the firmware bypasses an authenticity check for the games, and thereby and purchased content.
-Make sure iTunes is closed when using iPodWizard.

**If you get the message to restore your ipod, you can save it. The same way you loaded the hacked firmware, find an original firmware for your ipod version (5g, 5.5g) and install that. Your ipod will be back to normal with all your data.

If you message me, I will try to respond within 24 hours. *I'm sorry i havent been getting back to messages, I receive about 3 a day, I will try to answer some. Please check the ipodwizard.net forums for help, they are very useful.

  • my ipod is now broken

  • if your ipod is broken/bricked after doing this restore/reformat it through itunes, if your computer wont recognize it AT ALL try plugging it into a different computer and reformating it (do not forget to put it on disc use afterwards)

    if you want to change your ipod themes/setup SAFELY, get rockbox, the ipodwizard application changes things, but its not nearly as clean or as functional as rockbox

    good luck

see all
