iPod classic boot loop

Actually I just tried to answer to guys who opened that post years ago. Point is that after the good advised restauration process, which enabled my iPod to stop boot looping in hard disk mode, I still had my iPod boot looping again as soon as I syncronized again my iPod with iTunes. It only stopped when I desynchronized the "Recently Added" songs.

Voilà !

I connect iPod is disk mode. I cannot prevent iTunes from launching and ejecting my iPod. I am trying to run my iPod in disk mode. iTunes 12.8.2.3 launches and in about five seconds ejects the disk mount. When I look at the iTunes Summary window for the iPod, the checkbox for "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" has been checked by iTunes. I had just unchecked it. The iTunes Device Preferences checkbox for "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is checked (and stays checked), so that's not the problem. I quit and launched iTunes three times. I logged out. I reset my iPod twice. I forced my iPod into disk mode and connected it. None of those helped. I made a macro that sent the Quit command (3 times with a 1.5 second gap between) to iTunes when it launched—iTunes would not quit. Without disk mode, I can't add text files containing notes that won't work as items that iTunes can add such as Calendar items, to-do items, or Contacts.

Mangnets don't play nice to iPod Clasic. Can I get the OS reinstalled on my 120GB clasic? My iPod was put on a magnetic holder, so now I get the big apple and "go to www.apple.com/support/iPod". So here I am with the only help that I can fine at Apple. Is there any way to have the OS reinstalled on my 120GB iPod Classic? Thank you
