ipod-video-001Do you own an old outdated iPod video 5g or 5.5g then i have got a great news for you. Now you can change your iPod’s graphical look from A to Z and very easily.

What you have to do is you have download and install firmware to your Apple iPod by using the wizard that is know as the iPod Wizard. You can download the wizard here DOWNLOAD.

After downloading the wizard that is totally free of cost open it and select the firmware you want to upload to your ipod. Oops i forgot to tell you about the firmwares here they are you can find more of them by just searching them on Google. I have listed some that i have tested personally and have liked them too.

5.5g firmware

5g firmware

1. Download your theme nd save it to your desktop, and extract it.

2. Download iPodWizard 1.3 from -HERE- and open it.

3. Make sure your iPod is connected and readable by iPW

4. Open the bin file with iPodWizard and flash it to your iPod

5. **In top left corner of iPW, there is a box with the label “Firmware Information” with a table underneath with Image Checksum etc.** If 0×2D2A370B’s status is Read Only, right click and fix checksums. If its status is OK, then don’t do this step.

6. Write to iPod

7. Unplug after it has successfully written.

8. Replug quickly

9. Hard Reboot (Center + Menu) May take a few seconds to load.

10. Unplug it when you see Do Not Disconnect symbol.

Note:- Your files e.g songs videos etc won’t show till you connect your iPod to iTunes. When you connect to iTunes it will ask you to update your firmware to 1.3 version. Simply say No. Thats it
