This is the wiki for the freemyipod project. Freemyipod is a project for reverse-engineering iPods with clickwheel (no iOS devices) and creating tools and documentation so that other people can port alternative firmwares to them such as rockbox or Linux. Freemyipod is a relaunch of Linux4nano.
What can I do with my iPod Nano 2/3/4/5/6/7?
Not much (yet) unless you're an embedded developer :).
We have a stable tethered exploit (wInd3x) which allows early, untethered and safe (no permanent modification) code execution on Nano 3G-5G. This in turn allows you to run U-Boot or experiment with reverse-engineering/modifying the original firmware, OSOS. There's an early effort to port the Linux kernel to devices supported by wInd3x.
There's a set of earlier tooling (emCORE/emBIOS/iBugger) which was exploiting other vulnerabilities and was a lead-up to a port of Rockbox, but it's mostly abandoned.
Updates

- 2021-12-31 - An exploit named wInd3x, which exploits the latest vulnerability, is being prepared for Nano 4G and Nano 5G.
- 2021-12-27 - A new vulnerability was discovered in iPod Nano 4G and Nano 5G bootrom, which allows arbitrary code execution!
- 2018-08-25 - The website software has been updated to MediaWiki 1.31 after about 2 months of downtime.
