ok i used a diffrent firmware, theres a firmware that makes your 5gen ipod video look like the new ipod classic and that one worked, just gotta make sure which version of ipod you have, i was having troulble with mine due to the fact i was trying to install firmware for 5g and mine is 5.5 when i use the firmware for 5.5 it worked, i now have my ipod looking like the classic, it took me several tries and many ipod reset but i got it to work, you can find both firmwares here,

you still need ipodwizard 1.3.7 the newest one, and the other downside of this firmware they havent got coverflow to work on it yet.

I'm not sure but I think the only way is to restore or iPod to factory using iTunes. There may be other ways.

You open it with iPodWizard. Read step 2, it's all there just read the steps.

Tell me what you are doing. Start at the very beginning, becouse first you ask how you open the file. Then you said when you do that you get a "error writing firmware! code- 1,22, 13836800". If you are opening the file you should not get a writing error. I believe you're doing something wrong. Give me a little more detail.
O' it just hit me you may have a 5.5G iPod. But still give me some more detail.

I believe you have a 5.5 Generation iPod and not a 5th Generation. The BHCF 5G Firmware only works on the 5th Generation. irongiant had this same problem, read a few post up. He found a firmware that works on a 5.5 I would try that, but it is totally up to you. Both the 5.5 and 5th Generation look the same just different types of firmware. If I find anything I will post it. Untill then good luck and I hope you get it.

Others have run across this same problem. You have a 5.5 Generation iPod and not a 5th Generation. Read all the post above you will see what I'm talking about.

After you resize the picture save it to Desktop. With iPodWizard open and ready to add your custom picture, move iPodWizard over so that you can see the picture you just saved then click the picture and drag it onto iPodWizard right on top of my custom picture and that should do it. Minimize iPodWizard and then bring it back up and that show your picture it there. I know it is confusing the way I type it but if you have any more trouble let me know and I will post step by step with pictures.

Guide Updated.
I just improved the guide a little. I didn't make any changes to the files. I just tried to make it easier to understand. If anyone has suggestions on how I can improve the guide even better, let me know and I will try to add them.

You need to have all windows closed. The only thing that should be open is iPodWizard. Is iTunes set up to open when you connect your iPod? If so, you need to connect your iPod, close iTunes, then open iPodWizard. If you are still having the problem the only other thing I know for you to try is press ctrl, alt, and delete, and see if any other programs are running.
