Install cracked iPod games with a mac
Instructions
- Plug iPod in Mac
- Open iTunes, and go to the iPod section, then to the ìGames? tab.
- Uncheck ìsynchronize games? box. Then click apply.
- Also, in the ìSummary? tab uncheck ìopen iTunes when this iPod is connected?. Sometimes the terminal commands will not respond correctly if the iPod is mounted in iTunes only and not the finder.
- Quit iTunes
- go to /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater/
- right click iPod Updater 2006-03-23
- select "Show Package Contents"
- go to Contents/Resources/Updates
- delete "Firmware-13.6.1.1"
- copy over ì5.5g Firmware.bin? to the ìContents/Resources/Updates? folder inside of the ìiPod Updater 2006-03-23? from your original torrent.
- rename the bin file to ìFirmware-13.6.1.1" (not ìFirmware-13.6.1.1.bin). To ensure this has been done correctly select the newly renamed Firmware and hit ìcommand I? to get the info. Under the name and extension section, again make sure that it has just ìFirmware-13.6.1.1?. If you are ever prompted with a dialog box, just choose ìUse .1?.
- Next, enter the following command in the Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app), then press return:
mount | fgrep Volumes
- The result should be a line that begins with "/dev/disk...". For example:
/dev/disk1s3 on /Volumes/ipod_nano (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)
- In the preceding example, the disk number is '1'. Make a note of the numeric digit appearing after the word "disk"; disregard the letter "s" and following digit(s). Enter the following command in the terminal, then press return:
cd "/Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater.localized/iPod Updater 2006-03-23.app/Contents/Resources/Updates"
-Now backup your current firmware. Enter the following command, but substitue the '?' with the number you made a note of in the first step, followed by hitting "return":
dd if=/dev/disk?s2 of=my_ipod_firmware
- Now, perform the downgrade by entering the following command, but substitute the '?' with the number you made a note of in the first step, followed by hitting "return":
dd if=Firmware-13.6.1.1 of=/dev/disk?s2
- Wait for the Terminal to complete the installation (your iPod's wheel will be spinning in the upper left corner of the screen during the installation.)
- Eject the iPod when it's complete and it should reboot. If it doesn't, hold down Select and Menu until it does.
- A windoze looking 'disk mode' screen will appear with the options
Apple OS
Disk Mode
Sleep
- Select Apple OS and your iPod screen turns blue for a few seconds and then works normally. The Firmware should show 1.2.1.
- open ìBlind?
- Go to the folder inside of your iPod named ìiPod_Control?
- Copy the folder ìGames_RO? (original torrent) into this folder. If it is already present, it is ok, to overwrite it.
- Open ìBlind?
- Open iTunes
- You will be prompted that ìpurchased items are on your ipod???would you like to transfer them to iTunes?. You check ìDo not ask me again? and then select ìDonít transfer?.
- You may now return all settings you previously had in iTunes except for syncing games, leave that unsynced.
- ET VOILA!!
