I see a lot of unused sounds, like camera.wav, criticalbattery.wav (which as far as I know never plays), Simon_Note01-04.wav, etc.
What's strange, is that True DBF Editor says that Silverimages has an invalid header. Maybe it's not in the right format for DBF, thus giving a divide by zero error. It could also just be the software, I'm trying many different programs.

I just googled the file extentions *.LE and *.BIN and LE is a Mac OS X System File and BIN a Linux Executive File


Hope this helps :D


[EDIT] I dont have a mac but I have a Ubuntu Virtual Machine so I could try the BIN file.

This is the best thread ever. Been trying to change the BG images, or add an audiobook menue to the main menu, as was possible in the 6th gen, to no avail.
In the meanwhile, I have twiddled a bit in the diagnostic mode, but couldn't set anything in there, either.
Here's how you can get into diag mode, in case you are interested, search for "How To Get A 7th Generation ipod Nano Into Diagnostic Mode " - for the corresponding video.

Passwords suggustions

hey, sorry to resurrect an old thread but I made some progress on this and I thought you guys might be interested. I ran SilverImagesDB.LE.bin through TrIDNET and according to it, SilverImagesDB.LE.bin is a DBF file. To quote wikipedia, "The .dbf file is widely used in applications needing a simple format to store structured data", so we can assume that TrIDNET is correct and it isn't a false positive. I renamed SilverImagesDB.LE.bin to SilverImagesDB.LE.dbf, and than using DBF Manager I attempted to open it. It worked, proving that SilverImagesDB.LE IS in fact a DBF file, but it required a password. I've tried several obvious keywords ('Silver', 'Nano', 'Snowfox', etc) but all of them return a divide by zero error. Anyone have any ideas? Some screenshots are attached.

For the Password, i would try the Model Number (Mine says MD481LL, or the one in Regulatory, A1446) Version (Try 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, or 1.0.3)

No luck, still gives a divide by zero issue. I have been trying to get osos open, but no luck at that either.

No results... Has anyone tried iRecovery with a Nano 6g's resource partition and the 7g's osos.fw?

Guys guys guys guys!!! Breaking news!!!

A few months ago, I thought of editing the ipsw's using Neverfa11ing's table about which file does witch. Yesterday I found an article about software that let's you load custom ipsw files onto an ipod! (Itunes won't let you use custom) Once I test this and edit some isw files to work.. I will release them here!

Interesting. Out of curiousity, can you try replacing the RSRC with the one from the iPod Nano 6G? Either that or can you provide the tool you found?

Anybody still working on this occasionally?

I just wanted to bump this topic and see if anyone still cared about this idea.

Any ipsw files yet? BTW, isn't it possible to edit the fonts, and/or sounds from the iPod?

"Hack" found!

Ok, I've found a way to have the Dictaphone app permanently on your iPod, even without microphone! I'm going to post more details soon, but you have to change a NO to a YES in one of the .plist files!

[UPDATE]
Ok here's the documentation of the specific .plist:
/(your iPods name)/iPod_Control (it's hidden)/Device (also hidden)/IconState.plist

Now in IconState.plist you must select Root-->sbIconHistoryList-->Item 2-->locked--> and change 'YES' to 'NO'. Here's an image of it in Xcode, so you can see.

Although it's not much of a "hack" perse, it is at least a step forward, I think.

If someone can recompress the resource partition, and then stuff that all back into the .ipsw, then probably, although you have to do some trickery with iTunes to get that working.

The iPod Nano 6G started out the same way. I mean, the IconState.plist hack also pretty much works a bit on the iPod Nano 7G and time will know what happens!

Alright, so I tried uploading the firmware of the iPod Nano 6G using the ipodscsi tool, and I am stuck at an Apple logo. Did I just brick it?

EDIT: I have learned that the knowledge of how to go into DFU mode, and having iTunes are both really great things for a bricked iPod XD.

Anyway, not much news aside from that, does anyone know how to recompress the firmware.mse?

EDIT 2: I downgraded my iPod to the 1.0.1 firmware.mse, but now it is in restore mode. I am extremely confused :/
