hey everybody.
after reading the thread, i decided to upgrade my ipod 7th gen with a [size=small]
MXSSD1MNANOZ-240G because the hdd was getting pretty crowded. the specs seemed right (3.3V), the installation was quiet straightforward, but no matter what i tried, the i pod just booted to the red x icon screen.[/size]
[size=small]
when trying to enter th disk mode, i got to the red x screen again.[/size]
then i tried
diagnostic mode -> manual test -> IO -> Hard Drive -> HDSpecs and after the [Open Device...] message i got the error [Can't open Device] Error! Diag Halt
then i booted the ipod into
recovery mode, it was found by itunes, itunes did its thing, but still it only booted to the red x icon screen.
after that i ried an external enclosure, which worker without any problems whatsoever.
does anyone have an idea, what i did wrong? did i miss anything important?
update 1:
i just formated the ssd using a sata to zif adapter with the following settings: fat32, cluster size 64k -> same error in diagnostic mode
update 2:
after clonig the original hdd with clonezilla and overwriting the ssd with the image, the ssd is found in the diagnostic mode, but sadly i still get the red x when i try to start the ipod
update 3:
i give up. after doing
THIS i now have a unmodified ipod7g with not enough space and a external ssd. after doing everything from trying 3 different cables to formating the disk with 2 different adapters and 3 different filesystems (mac native, fat32 and exfat) i give up. maybe, if someone is able to get something else working, i'll try again. frustrating little bugger tis 7g thingy...
