Installation
IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU READ THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS HACK.
1. Before plugging your iPod into your computer, you must set the main menu settings. This is because the background used for the hack has these icons implemented, and if you do not have this exact configuration, your main menu will either malfunction or take you to the wrong menus.

• Music
• Photos
• Videos
• Extras
• Settings

2. Plug iPod into computer, and open iPodWizard.
3. Load the firmware binary. Please, LOAD THE CORRECT FIRMWARE.
4. Click "Write to iPod".
5. When writing is done, click "Eject", but DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR IPOD.
6. Your iPod will reboot. When it has successfully rebooted, your computer will redetected. Eject it again. Now you may unplug.
7. Enjoy your iPod.
8. If you would like to load extras, see the readme.txt in the Extras folder for specific directions.

Troubleshooting
If you have trouble installing this hack, these tips may help you.

• Make sure you have the correct firmware. Load a 5G firmware onto 5Gs and 5.5G firmware onto 5.5Gs.
• Make sure you are running the latest version of iPodWizard, which is 1.3.0.7.
• Make sure no other programs are accessing your iPod.
• Make sure you don't unplug your iPod before it is ready.

If you have a reboot loop:
Go into disk mode by holding Center and Play until the Disk Mode screen appears. Connect to your computer and load a clean firmware.

If you are told to restore:
You loaded the wrong firmware. Make sure to load a 5G firmware onto 5Gs and 5.5G firmware onto 5.5Gs.

If you cannot access your music via Albums:
Go to Settings and turn on Compilations. Don't go into the Main Menu Settings; just the first Settings menu.

Remember:
This firmware cannot, and will not, brick your iPod.

Enjoy!

Current bug list:

• Menu transitions laggy on some menus.

Stop posting "digg this". There is a link to that in the first post, and that's enough.
Do it again and I'll ban you. Posts deleted.
