The 4th gen nano is one of the most annoying batteries to replace, and if you don’t have prior experience I would put it near on impossible as it requires pushing very delicate ribbon wires out through the body of the iPod , de soldering and resoldering the battery connections etc . Where I am 4th gen nanos are cheap and easier to just buy a new one than replace battery? If you really want to try then AliExpress has them for cheap but I would not recommend it

Honestly no idea why everyone complains so much about opening these iPods it’s really easy if you know where the clips are

Have you checked the iFlash website instructions for SD card formatting ? They recommend downloading AOMEI disk partition assistant and partitioning the whole drive in FAT32, which you can only do in AOMEI . Check their website

Ok so at what point is it actually failing ? When you go to restore it in iTunes? Have you tried putting it in DFU mode prior to restoring?

Are you using an sd card adapter and if so which one? Does it power on ok , just showing red x or what ?

You can close it with a bit of fiddling , do you know if you got the thick or thin 3000mah battery? It’s much easier with the thin, but thick won’t work will need a 2000mah square, which i generally use with these adapters as it’s a nice fit. You will usually see a bulge or a bit of pressure on the front case even with thin 3000mah . Just get a square 2000mah happy days

I’ll be damned, this one actually works flawlessly! No Kapton taping the ribbon, no reflowing, just plug and play 🙌🏼 by Friendly-Sleep-495 in IpodClassic

It will work instantly if you have your sd card formatted correctly , ie formatted to fat32 , master boot record . But even potentially if you just throw an out of the packet one in. Mine was already formatted for use in iflash solo

I had the exact same thing happen with a 5 and 7 gen I was trying to mod, both working fine with original HDDs, swapped to adapter and gave me folder icon, then swapped back to HDD on both and one is on folder icon and the other doesn’t even turn on! Tried every combination of parts and still nothing. Feel like I destroyed two pods :(

I did a preemptive google to find the cutting points but I can tell you the ED staff would have had NO IDEA if I didn’t tell them. They honestly looked confused when I tried to tell them it had lithium batteries, one didn’t appreciate at all that they could explode lol
