Ok, so now that you have downloaded the programs from above you can now start to mod your Ipod Video 30gb...

There is many things that you can do with Ipod Wizard but I will show you only two of the things. [ I Will Add More] maybe...:laughing:

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR BACKROUND:

Step One:

Open iPodWizard then change Edit Mode (at the top) to Firmware File. Click Open Firmware. Find the BHFC Firmware folder open it and then open the BHFC 5G Firmware file. Wait for it to load.

Step Two:

Make sure that the Firmware editor tab and Picture tab are both highlighted. Click index and go to 138. You should see my custom background. To get your image as the background just drag the image right on top of my custom image. Sometimes you have to click one of the other tabs like font and then go back to the picture tab for the image to appear. Once your image is there your done with the background.

Now that you have changed your Backround on your Ipod you must click on [Write To Ipod] once Ipod Wizard is done writing the firmware to your ipod you can then unplug your Ipod from your computer. Now when you turn it on your backround will be the picture that you picked!

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR FONT COLOR :

Step One:

To change the color click the Layout tab. Then change the Resource type to Font Types. On the white spot right below this type in 24222 and then click find. In the box on the right you should see an R... right below that you should see 0x0. Double click the 0x0. It will then pop up and ask you do you want to change the font color, click yes. All the colors will pop up just click the color you want and then click ok. Ok you just changed the font color for the menu text. To change all the font colors do the same thing as above just for different resources.
Change 24222 for Main Menu text (All main text on your iPod.)
24223 for Title Bar text (Also changes your "Do not disconnect" text, and your "Song # of #" text in 'Now Playing'.)
24224 for Titlebar Text Shadow (Text shadow in Stopwatch and Screen Lock.)
24225 for Secondary Text (Settings options and all other text.)
Each one can be a different color they don’t have to be all the same color. Play around with it till you find something you like.

Writing To Your Ipod :

Once you are done with the font and the backround you can now write to your Ipod again for the second time by clicking [Write To Ipod] again. And when you turn on your Ipod again you will have a different font color!

[Forgoten Dynasty]

you may just want to take a quick second to talk about 5Gs and 5.5G since it says at the top how to mod your 30GIG ipod and since their are two kinds of 30 gig ipods it might get confusing

[Mizwax]

yeah, and im pretty sure you need to have the new background the same size as the old one... or at least that is what i see on ipodwizard.net all the time...

[Mizwax]

that makes sense too...

[DrastiK]

Don't mean to bump or anything, but what firmware am i supposed to download?

[OrdinaryDETROIT]

so i cant use this to mod my 5.5 ipod

it keeps telling me make share all programs that use ipod are closed like itunes....but everthing is close so wat am i doin wrong

[Mizwax]

make sure no body else on your computer have itunes or anything open.
if that doesnt work, click control alt delete and go to the processes tab. then close "ipod services" and "itunes helper" and something like "apple mobile devices" (something in that area)

that is everything (should be) that uses or ipod.
