Step 2) Download the iDoom installer from this location http://rapidshare.com/files/20722095/iDoom1_2.zip

Step 3) Extract the download to a folder in a convenient location AKA your desktop

Step 4) Now connect your ipod to you computer. so that your computer can recognize it.

Step 5) Select a folder in your ipod such as Recordings or Notes.

Step 6) Copy the Entire iDoom folder to the selected folder.

Step 7) Disconnect you ipod from your computer and boot it into linux. Then chose file browser. Locate your selected folder from step 6 and open it. Select iDoom and scroll down to iDoom with no extention. Your ipod will start to show leters as it did when booting into Linux. Then you will get the almighty iDoom menu on an IPOD!

awsome im gonna try this right now

[DrastiK]

it seems sorta ironic that you cant put it on a video.

[UnknowingAcorn]

ya it works on everything but the videos(other than 5Gb) i tested it on my nano and my old grayscale generation 3

[AstroManiacX]

The installation for Linux wont work.

It says Im missing a "backup" or whatever.
Then it tried to restore my ipod, but my ipod doesnt need to be restored.
And it said it couldnt restore my ipod.

lmao wow ur itunes is messed up but i just suggest doing the ipod reformat just so that there is 100% enough room to put linux on because if your ipod has like 1 meg left on it and you try to install linux it will stop half way and totaly brick your ipod so try reinstalling itunes and then reformat ipod(make sure you have all your songs backed up and movies and stuff) then the installer should work and if it says missing back up then make a back up lol for me sumtimes if its giving me issues i start the back up then cancel it and keep going with tutorial but i dont suggest doing that and if what i just said screws up ur ipod tell me whats wrong ill try to help but your fault and holy crap this is a long post

[AstroManiacX]

My Ipod has over 1 GB left of room.

Why do I need to reinstall itunes? It still works, and my Ipod is fine.

[UnknowingAcorn]

haha you dont have to those are my troubleshooting steps they are not manditory and did u get it on if not what ipod are you useing ill try to help

[AstroManiacX]

Im using a regular 2GB Ipod Nano.
It has over 1GB left of room.
Nothing is wrong with it, and I still have a long time before I have to replace the battery.

Everytime I try to install Ipod Linux onto my Ipod it says it failed because I need a "Backup". Then it tries to restore my Ipod(when it doesnt need to), and says it failed to do that.

I dont know what to do.

will this work if i download and do all of this stuff on a mac??

[UnknowingAcorn]

aRZie if you have an ipod thats formated for a mac A.K.A a macpod and it has linux running on it then it should work but i dont have any macs so i cant test it out but in theory it should work

[gamebeatter]
