iPod Classic 2G 128GB

Hello friends, I would like to share with you my creation.

iPod classic 2 gen 128GB Taptic Engine 3000mah battery

iPod Restoration Initially the iPod came with a 20GB HDD but I always wanted more storage. It all started with some videos that I saw on YouTube and other networks like this same network I bought a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 cable After many attempts and trying other cables such as USB to FireWire (I did not recommend this combination to anyone) because I ended up burning a circuit on the board 🥹 I was very angry about losing one of my babies.

Now my procedure for anyone who wants to do it safely. On a Mac 💻 with a FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port (buy corresponding cables) no USB I recommend macOS High Sierra, iTunes can still connect to Apple servers

A CF adapter is necessary, a 128GB CF card is recommended. I don't know if it will work with a CF to microSD adapter. Also a compatible version of Carbon Copycloner. Connect the iPod via FireWire and the CF reader with its respective card First erase CF cards macOS plus with registration and Apple partition map

Now open carbon copycloner Simply clone the iPod drive to the new drive, remove the copycloner options, we just want it to erase all content

Now it's time to change the new storage on the iPod. Use the CF adapter seen in the image, many will already know it, it costs €7 on AliExpress When you make the storage change, the Mac will recognize it, (it takes a long time to appear in iTunes) patience. iTunes will show 127gb Now we just have to restore and that's it new iPod with 119gb storage!!!!

When everything is working 🫶 I thought a little more and I decided to expand the battery and install a Taptic Engine 😱 it was not an easy task
