Do i have to softmod first, or can i go straight to tsop?
To be clear, this tutorial is just for softmodding which does not require a TSOP flash. If you want to do TSOP, I think you can go right to it and it actually involves a similiar save-move and of course some soldering. Cynder Cynder can probably confirm that or clarify because I don't know much about TSOP.
It should be noted too that a TSOP flash cannot be done on an Xbox on version 1.6 but 1.0-1.5 is fine.
Yes you don't need to soft-mod to go into TSOP, but both basically do the same thing its just if you want a hard-mod vs a soft-mod.

I was getting mixed answers elsewhere, saying i need to softmod first
To me, the Tsop is just easier, soldering a couple points, not having to worry about unlocking/locking the HDD
I would think with the soft, it's easier to screw up vs the Tsop
You have a good tut on the Tsop? I've seen many, but just curious

Alright question. So I'm figuring out which splinter cell to use for the soft mod

Is it this one:


Or the one that says stealth action redefined

That one will work. As long as it is black label as opposed to a Platinum hits label, it's good to go.

Your Nano is one of the old 2GB ones, correct?

Try re-formatting the iPod using iTunes and then instead of manually doing FatX, plug it into the xbox and let the xbox format the iPod itself.
