Please, let us know which of the 5 resistors should be set / removed to make the board work as a 1Gb, 2Gb, 4gb , 8gb or 16gb. thank you. john doe,

I haven't added any new entry because I thought it was not important for the main subject, that is, the 8GB upgrade. But yes, I have manage to recover 2 out of the 3 ipod nano. And yes, I am familiar with the Podzilla, I have a 6GB mini with linux installed. With the HP USB formating utility I managed to format the 4GB nano and they are working (2 of them) I sold back one of them and I gave the other one to my daughter, in the third one I got a few broken pads on the PCB therefore it will not work again. Since I placed the previous entry I have been reading a bit about those memory chips and I have found out quiet a few interesting things. I shall come back with fresh news when I done it. Hi dexter,

I ask because if you have tried it, you are probably familiar with the hp flash format tool. Google "hp usb format" and get the cached hp site, you can download from there. I was too lazy to get you the actual link. I'm guessing that you MIGHT be able to format whatever memory you have on the nano. I think you have a good chance at salvaging the hardware you have and probably get back the original 4 gigs. Who knows you might even get 8 gigs. Many people when they first try to install linux on their nano believe that they have "bricked" it, but a simple format (to fat32) with the hp format tool will set your ipod back to pretty much what it was before it was plugged into your computer for the first time. From there you can communicate with it using the iPod software. isshou – are you familiar with ipodlinux? I ask because if you have tried it, you are probably familiar with the hp flash format tool.

The hack as described IT IS A FRAUD!!!, at least as it is describe it. Could be possible but there should be neccesary a new firmware or perhaps to place or to remove a jumper. Keep away from it and spend your money and time in some thing more productive, or save it until apple release a proper one. I have ruined 3 4GB ipod nano beyond repair, and as I bought them on eBay as broken screen ones, I have spend 319.52 Well, after so much reading about if it was a fake a not, I decided to put my hands at work and test it by myself.
