Change your iPod’s “Do Not Disconnect” Sign

In this tutorial we shall teach you how to change “Do Not Disconnect” sign that endlessly flashes on your iPod screen. You can easily replace it with your own images or any other flash graphic that you have. You can also change the battery icon, power status, fonts and logos.

Here’s how you do it

1. You need the Apple iPod Software. You can get it from the Apple website. Install it.
2. You need the iPod Wizard to make changes in the firmware of your iPod i.e., changing the graphics manually. You can get it here. Unzip the file after downloading and start iPod Wizard.
   
3. After opening the iPod Wizard click on ‘Open Updater’ and select the Apple Update Application you downloaded in step 1. It is also shown in the photo below:
   
4. Once open, select the firmware.For e.g., IDR_FIRMWARE 5.4.0, which is the do not disconnect logo. Load the bitmap that you want and Save Bitmap.
5. In the same way you can load other bitmaps or fonts, change it and load it.
6. In the end, select Write. And close the updater after you have made all necessary changes.
7. Write will edit the firmware on your PC. So now open iPod Updater and update your iPod.
8. This will search for the firmware that you have edited and will copy it to your iPod.
9. Next you need to Restore your iPod. Once that is done you have successfully pimped your iPod and it is now ready to make you look much cooler and your iPod jazzy.

Very Important

1. In the process,all the data will be erased when you restore your iPod, so you better keep a back-up of the data.
2. Doing this,you will be void of the warranty. But it is worth giving it your own brand.
3. Use good judgement and play nice while personalizing your iPod.
4. We will not be held responsible for any shortcoming.
