I think the issue is more than likely the firmware on the drives themselves. Apple works with specific drive manufacturers to preload special firmware on their drives so that they will work with apple software. I work as a network engineer and had to learn this the hard way a long time ago when helping a client with an old apple server that they had a drive failure in. The drive itself was 250GB and cost about $1200. Popped that sucker in and everything immediately worked. The reason it works with the gen 5 is probably because that was before they implemented their stupid proprietary firmware into their devices.

Although I think Apple or other companies should at least make dedicated MP3 players for the small market where people do not show any interest in online streaming service. Although you can load MP3 into phones, not many users are ok with each time they listen to music a notification sound always plays in the middle of music play which is the motivation behind for many enthusiasts to get an iPod or other known brand MP3 players like Walkman or Salsa.

Can't wait to see a DankPods collaboration! 😍 Nice mod, I got myself such an 6th Gen (the 120 GB is also called 6.5 Gen, while the thin 160 GB is the 7th) two years ago, also a 5.5th Gen 80 GB and a Mini 1st Gen and modded these in early 2023, the 120GB got a 128GB iFlash SD (on stock firmware they're limited to that capacity due to LBA limit) and a golden case with blue clickwheel, the 80 GB got an iFlash Quad with four 256GB cards (it isn't limited by LBA) and that large 3000 mAh battery, also completely new case and the Mini got such a SD to CF adapter and 128 Gigs. The normal iPods have two rear housing types: from the 5th Gen onwards the thin rear housing is used by the 30 GB model, the thick by the 60/80 GB model, 6th Gen has 80 and that particular 120 GB model with thin rear and the 160 GB with the thick rear housing while the final 7th Gen 160 GB has the thin rear. Seems like the higher capacity hard drives had two discs inside so they needed that space. I'm not exactly sure but AFAIK to use a thick back case (that is mandatory for these large batteries) you need to get a different middle frame, you can't just click such a thick rear housing onto a thin iPod.

Well, this is the exact upgrade I've been doing on a 5th gen. Can confirm, this took a LOT of time. My ipod uses a TaoBao transmitter, and is connected directly to the battery, as well as a Iphone 7+ taptic motor epoxied to the rear case. That also has the advantage that just by soldering 2 wires to the power connector of the ipod, the rear case with the mods can be transferred from ipod to ipod easily.

Interesting. I've upgraded my older iPod Mini (2004). It is well made, and to me personally the finest iPod create ever with it's hunk of metal and solid design. Placed in an SSD and new battery. The 64 GB SSD is the same size as that old 4GB or 6GB MicroDrive, so it's just a straight swap out. The Mini is fairly easy to open, work on, and upgrade, no soldering needed. I installed Linus Rockbox, an amazing OS. Only difficulty is, at times the clip between the MB and HD would go bad, and difficult for me to repair. I've found once my upgrades installed, it's extremely reliable. I still use it to this day for listening podcasts, audio books, and music. Never had difficulty installing iTunes. Never difficulty opening the Mini, or with anything else. However, I have no idea how to put in internal Bluetooth for the headset.

Forcing the battery to hold the switch is a pretty bad idea in my opinion. It reminds of the Galaxy Note 7 Dilemma. "Parts Plus Pods" had a great solution for that. And I also wonder why you use an SSD instead of an SD Card, since you dont have any advantages over a normal SD Card. (I think the writing speed from the iPod itself are 15mbits or so, so an SSD is just overkill) You could use the iFlash sd adapter since it uses much less space (if you cut it smaller). Or the new moonlight flash sd adapter, which is around 40% of iFlash Adapter and then install a 3000mHa battery instead

If you used an M.2 SATA SSD via an adapter, you would have 2 times more space. Then you could use a larger battery or taptic engine from the iPhone 7. In addition, you can use a ready-made bluetooth adapter with a built-in battery, they are much more economical and have auto shutdown. In addition, many of them support the APTX codec, which sounds much better. For example, you can use 1Mii ML300

Even though I love projects like these, the ultimate Bluetooth + haptics iPod is an old iPhone with a headphone jack. I still use my iPhone 5 precisely for this purpose… and replacement batteries / displays are cheap and easy to install. And you don’t have to deal with 30 pin cables, since it has Lightning. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, to boot. If you plan to go down that same approach, I advise to get a 1st gen SE: still has headphone jack, and Touch ID to unlock (it’s a chore to unlock the iPhone 5 via the 4-digits code every time) .

A couple ideas if you ever make another. Might be a bit of an advanced mod, but the IC's require voltage when the device is on, so one option would be to tee off the voltage rail supplying voltage to one of the chips, something like the DAC (you can find schematics online to know which pin is the supply line), run that wire to the gate pin of a mosfet, then run the source pin to ground, and the drain pin to the bluetooth adapter for ground and then run vcc for the adapter straight to the battery, this would eliminate the need for a hidden switch through the earphone port as it would provide power only when the unit is powered on. I like the solution of leaving one of the screws out of the hold button to allow it to flex to hit the pair button, but another option might be a reed switch mounted inside. With this method, you would simply wave a strong magnet in proximity of the switch in order to pair. This would allow you to mount the switch almost anywhere inside the device too, it would just need to be somewhere where the magnet wont get stuck to the back of the device.

I'm actually waiting for a new shipment with a new front/back cases for the one I already revived and another ipod (video 5). Though my regular 5, I'm also getting a iflash adapter and a new regular size battery. I'll probably use it to make my own rockbox theme and eventually sell it to a buddy for the parts cost since I actually bought it off him for like $20 way back when it stopped holding a charge. I actually bought it from him for parts in case I ever needed any but I eventually fell into the same thing of just streaming or using my phone... Since I revived my ipod, I've been using it daily in my vehicle (aux input) and at work without the possible distractions that cell phones bring into the mix... In a way, I kind of want to add bluetooth but at the same time, I enjoy the "simplistic" features of having the classic device that I'm fine using wired.

Hello Hugh, You've made a couple of mistakes, but they're easy to fix. The green board works fine, but it needs to be connected in a specific way. Just make sure you have one white line visible. Elite Obsolete made a video about it. The second mistake is using a 6th gen iPod, which only supports up to 128GB in the Stock OS. If you want to use more than 128GB, you'll need to use Rockbox. Consider getting a 7th gen iPod, which has capacity of 160GB. Make sure to get the thin variant if you plan to do that modification.

you can save a lot more space by using an iFlash solo and cutting the top off since it contains no traces at all! It's funny, just like 2 hours ago I worked on an iPod classic myself (replaced the front with logic board and all from my modded iPod whose battery connector was broken with parts from another one I had lying around) Might add bluetooth, but later :D
