Luckily the Rockbox bootloader had previously been ported to the 3G Nano, which helped get the ball rolling. Unfortunately, all they had to show for their effort was an unhelpful error screen.įrom here on out the assumption was that they were dealing with a software problem.
It took several attempts before the original flash chip could be swapped out, but eventually and his friend got one to survive the operation. Nothing is ever quite that easy, and it seems that at every turn both the hardware and software in the thirteen-year-old iPod are fighting the change. But of course, this is Apple we’re talking about.
After all, in theory, it should be pretty straightforward: just remove the 8 GB flash chip and replace it with a pin-compatible 16 GB version. Now, we’d like to tell you that he’s already succeeded in this task. It’s a device that was ahead of its time in many ways, and is still perfectly usable today, although does think it could stand to have its maximum flash storage doubled to 16 GB.
While many would argue that the original iPod is the most iconic entry in the long and diverse line of digital audio players that Apple released over the years, there must certainly be some consideration for the third generation (3G) iPod Nano.
