HOW TO DOWNGRADE FIRMWARE ON IPOD VIDEO!

hey thx alot, but one more question, Does this void my warrenty? Sry but i'm a sorta neat freak when it comes to expensive stuff

ok, also sry but one last thing. Can't i just reset my ipod and put the songs and stuff back on it. Will it have the old firmware, i dought it but i am just wonderiing if i can how would i go about doing that

o yea really original this is the same thing that i posted about a month ago

o stop trying to take credit and show off, 1 month ago= OLD, noone cares anyway

Yo Gibran, I read your discussions about the downgrade. I followed every step that you stated. However, when I click on the IPodUpdater2005-11-17 and reboot my system still recognizes the latest the version and says that my ipod is already up to date. Is there any other way to fake the system. I have a mac and I didn't understand the hidden files that you mentioned. Please help...

Posts die. It's a fact of forum life. Get used to it.

Where are you finding the DMG the disk image?

BTW guys, you can actually get the software from the apple website. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20051117.html
ENJOY!

I also, have the 5G 60GB, and it came with the update...and problems. Am I the only person out here who had the video freezing problem exactly as described above, tried to downgrade, couldn't, and the problem completely resolved itself about two weeks after the I purchased the ipod? I also do not seem to have any problems with the backlight? Just curious...I guess I am just lucky.

I am glad you posted this because I was afraid my question would be lost. So, here it is:
When I got my IPod for Christmas I was busy getting ready for a trip so my husband set it up on the computer and I was not really paying attention...so I am not sure if he downloaded the 1.0 updater or if it came on the CD. Regardless, on the Start Menu, in the iPod folder, there are both of them, and the older one has been moved to "Previous Updaters". The shortcut goes to this file:
"F:\Program Files\Ipod\iPod Updater 2005-10-12\iPod Updater 2005-10-12.exe" If I want to merely revert to that one, which is the desirable one, correct? can I just uninstall the most recent one and this one would take over? Or is there more to it? I guess what I am getting at is that I don't have to download anything to get the previous one but I am still in the dark about how to get there.

Now, the reason I want to go back is that my iPod won't turn off if there is anything currently playing so I have to back up to the beginning of whatever playlist I am on until the Now Playing is gone, and then, maybe on a good day it will actually shut down rather going into a permanent state of paused. I am not having problems with videos but then I only have a small handful of short 2 minute video podcasts. So, my number one, and basically only, reason for wanting to downgrade is the shutting off problem. Is it worth it? I don't really mind having to copy everything back to the iPod since it is fairly new and only has about 6 gb of stuff on it so far.

Thanks in advance!

A lot of people are still wondering how to downgrade,
so I'm just adding this post to bring the topic to
the front of the forum again.
