   A-Data Speedy 16GB – Works fine

2. 2 On May 7th, 2008, Tarkan said:

   Thanks kc and the other people who have contacted me directly.

   Seems like people have generally gravitated to similiar cards.

   Working cards:-

   A-Data Speedy 8Gb
   A-Data Speedy 16Gb (some reports of filesystem problems, could be card specific)
   A-Data Speedy 32Gb
   Peak Technology 16Gb
   Samsung OEM 150x (ebay) 16Gb
   Samsung OEM 150x (ebay) 32Gb
   Sandisk Ultra II (all capacities)
   Sandisk Extreme III (all capacities)
   Topram (ebay) 32Gb
   Transcend 133x 8Gb
   Transcend 133x 16Gb
   Transcend 133x 32Gb

   Known not to work:-
   Hama 2Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 4Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 8Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 16Gb
   Topram (ebay) 16Gb

   Quick note about the cheap generic cards found on ebay – it seems they have serious quality control issues, some of these cards work and some don’t. Even if the cards seems to work ok in a card reader it does not mean it will ok in the iPod. That is the risk with these cheap unbranded cards.

   Once I have gathered more data – I will put up a compatibility page as a reference point.

   Thank you and keep the card information coming…

   another thing to think about is the filesystem used. i’ve been using the “mac” filesystem on my ipod, and already i’ve had the data corrupted. it only happened once so far… i’ll keep you updated if it happens again.

4. 4 On May 10th, 2008, Tarkan said:

   I would not think the filesystem should matter. My 32Gb A-Data test iPod has been flawless for the last 3 months, I am however using Windows format.

5. 5 On May 10th, 2008, kc said:

   i’m going to try to format my ipod for windows usage (fat32), and then sync it through mac (my primary OS). well let you know in a few days if it is more stable.

   i’m also considering using an older firmware. a recurring theme in other people’s restore loop problem is that they’re using firmware 1.2.1 and later.

6. 6 On May 11th, 2008, Tarkan said:

   Let me know how you get on. I would be interested to know if the filesystem does make a change!!

7. 7 On May 14th, 2008, kc said:

   the filesystem didn’t resolve the restore loop. there’s a weird quirk though: if you let the ipod restart after the restore screen comes up, the ipod finds the database and everything works fine… for a few days. then you have to restore the ipod.

   i just verified all of my mp3s using a prog called mp3val: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net
   it inspected and fixed any and all mp3 files that were “corrupted” or had bad data. i’m putting the fixed mp3s on my ipod as we speak… lets hope that this will resolve the restore loop issue.

8. 8 On May 14th, 2008, Tarkan said:

   You sure the card is ok? Maybe it is worth running some kind of disk checking.

9. 9 On May 14th, 2008, kc said:

   i ran a quick diagnostic on the CF card and no errors popped up. if i get anymore errors, i’ll definitely do a more thorough scan.

   but i think corrupt mp3s are the culprits in the restore loop problem… only time will tell.

10. 10 On May 30th, 2008, Christian said:

    I get that restore screen as well if I haven’t played my iPod in a few days. What I do is turn on the iPod, the restore screen shows up. I turn it off by holding the menu button. I turn it on again and it works fine. I’m running an A-data 32gb CF card in my 5th gen iPod.

    Microdia is gonna release a 64GB CF Card! Anyone willing to test it out with the adapter?

12. 12 On June 6th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    I would love to test it out, I did email their PR and Marketing people to try and get hold of a review / demo 64Gb card – but sadly I got no response.

    I will probably have to wait till they start selling them….

13. 13 On June 17th, 2008, scott said:

    i have the Adata 16 gb cf, but its still giving me the folder error. can it be my ipod motherboard thats giving me the problem?

14. 14 On June 17th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Scott,

    I think it is appearing that this card has issues in the iPod. In the comments above kc is using this card and is/was having problems.

    Someone else emailed me yesterday stating that they where having problems getting past the restore screen with this card.

    I doubt it would be the motherboard, but just in case try another card out to make sure the iFlash and iPod are working ok!!

15. 15 On June 18th, 2008, Chris said:

    The Adata 8Gb Speedy is working like a charm for me. Awesome adapter card by the way, they all should have came with one of these

16. 16 On June 24th, 2008, rae myers said:

    Hi Everyone! Just bought 1 of Tarkan’s superb CF Adapters for use in Ipod video(5g). Installation & build quality…supreme! I’ve tried with 2 cards: 2Gb Samsung OEM (blue label/white text.Bought from’fastmemoryman’Ebay,last year) -keeps restarting ‘needs restoring’etc. also,Integral i-Pro 256Mb(!)(6Mb/s 40x) -exactly the same,what a swizz! Windows recognizes both as external drives but won’t display any info(even tried diskmgmt.msc all to no avail).Will buy 1 of those tried & tested cards featured in this article instead!

17. 17 On June 25th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Rae,

    With the Samsung OEM types sold on ebay make sure you get the slower 150x speed version, it seems that the 280x versions do not work.

    The 256Mb card will not work full stop. The minimum card size that works is 512Mb.

    Hi Tarkan, I’m Rock. from China Shanghai.I saw your video on YouTube and my ipodphoto have some problem with used CF card. it always shows the “bad file”. (my English is so pool probably u dont know what Im talking about anyway.)my e-mail is xyz92002@hotmail.com If you know what’s problem please write back.

19. 19 On June 27th, 2008, kore said:

    hi tarkan, i put a “EXTREMEMORY 16 gb” cf in my 3d gen ipod, it stops working during the progress screen after i started the recovery. do you think thats due to the cf card?

20. 20 On June 27th, 2008, Scott said:

    Is the Transcend 133x a lot faster than A-Data’s Speedy (which is anything but). Writing to my A-Data 32gb is dog slow. I was thinking of going with a different card but if the Transcend is that much faster then it wouldn’t be worth it. Anyone?

21. 21 On June 28th, 2008, Scott said:

    One other question: I know of Ridata’s new 32gb 233x offering to work in a Mini. Is that a good gauge that it would work in a 5g?

22. 22 On June 28th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    The people with the 3g and photo iPods – I really do not know much about CF cards in these, I do however know from email I get that 50% of the problems are because of the very bad quality adaptors and the other 50% due to incompatible cards.

    As I always suggest try another card known to work to rule out the adaptor.

    Scott, working in the Mini does not mean it will work in the iPod, however I have not heard of anyone having any problems with cards from quality manufacturers such as Sandisk and Lexar – From what I have read about RiData cards I would place them in the quality category as well.

    Sadly, we cannot be sure till someone says it works – I am sure people out there are using them as they are quite cheap – but no one has reported back to me.

    Your other question about speeds, yes the Transcend 133x is faster than the A-Data speedy range, I think the A-Data is rated at 80x. Good news is that plenty people are using the Trancsend with the iFlash.

23. 23 On June 28th, 2008, Rae said:

    Hi again. Ive recently ordered an A-Data 4Gb CF card from Ebay & whilst waiting for it to be delivered,noticed those CF to SD/SDHC adapters (normal size CF cards with a slot to use standard SD cards,about £14inc.del). Was wondering if anyone has tried this? (might end the ‘will it/won’t it’ compatability report!). Should be ideal (in theory!)
    Keep up the good work & reporting your CF card experiences -it really is very helpful to us all

24. 24 On June 28th, 2008, Scott said:

    Fair enough and I appreciate the response. I may give the Ridata card a try. If I do, I will most certainly report back. Hopefully, you will be able to put it on your compatible list!

25. 25 On June 30th, 2008, Hayden said:

    I am looking at replacing my iPod 5g hard disk (I hear the click of death approaching (clicks, beeps, and metal scratching noises ocassionally currently)) and I am looking for a 32gb card in the $150-or less range. Are the diffirences between the A-data and Transcend prominently noticable? I’m waiting to see if the Ridata works. I am also waiting to see what the price will be on the Microdia 64gb. Mostly the things I am looking for are speed, price, and reliability (better than my iPod disk atleast.)

26. 26 On June 30th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    I would say the Transcend is the better buy in the budget range. I think the A-Data and Transcend are at a similiar price point, so go for the Transcend.

    How much is the RiData 32Gb? I would like to hear some feedback about this card as well.

    Have you considered the cheapo Samsung 150x OEM cards they can be a bit hit and miss but at around $120 worth looking at.

    I have tried and tried to get something out of Microdia about their 64Gb card and they don’t even respond to the emails. I think this is another case of vapourware just like Pretec and Sandisk before with the promise of 48Gb and 64Gb cards….

27. 27 On June 30th, 2008, Hayden said:

    The RiData is $140.00 on Newegg but had 2 out of four comments that were bad. It seems to have a problem with curropting data but the manufacturer said it was a problem with his/her camera.

    I will end up using the Transcend card.

    Thanks for all the help.

28. 28 On July 1st, 2008, rae said:

    Hi again! Just got 4gb A-Data speedy CF card from Ebay…my Ipod now working brilliantly! Has anyone tried a CF > SD adapter yet? Are they compatible with ANY SD cards?? (hope I dont start a new compatability report..!) Bye for now

29. 29 On July 2nd, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Rae,

    I tried a CF > SD adaptor few months back and it did work ok.

    Someone else did some testing with the newer SDHC CF adapters with the Trascend 16Gb SDHC card. The iPod did not see the card.

    It may work with another card, so it might be still worth trying out…

30. 30 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    Okay, tried replacing my A-Data 32gb with RiData’s 32gb. At first it looked like things were going to work fine. I went through the restore process with iTunes. It was definitely communicating with my iPod and it rebooted it but then went directly back into the restore screen. I’ve tried 3 times all with the same results.

    Then, for the heck of it, I tried installing Rockbox. Again, it seemed to communicate with my iPod and load all of the files but I can’t boot into it. I just keep getting the restore screen.

    Any suggestions?

31. 31 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    An addendum to my post above:

    I can see the iPod under Windows Explorer when it is plugged in via USB. I can also see the Rockbox files so it definitely installed. I just can’t boot into either the OEM firmware or Rockbox.

    So close, yet…

32. 32 On July 3rd, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Scott,

    Try and delete the partition table on the CF card, and then re-attempt the installation of rockbox (using rbutilqt to install the bootloader).

    Give that a go and report back.

33. 33 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    Already tried that. The Rockbox utility won’t detect my iPod for some reason. I looked and the USB id is correct and WinXP sees it so I don’t understand why Rockbox isn’t. It keeps saying to manually input the “mountpoint” but I’m not seeing where to do that under “Configure”.

    One other note. Before I did the restore, my iPod did boot into the OEM firmware and showed my previous library so I feel I am close and this still may work. I’m running out of ideas though.

34. 34 On July 3rd, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Ok, connect the usb lead to your PC and force it in to diskmode. method :- reset the iPod (menu+select) when black apple logo appears quickly switch to play/pause+select.

    In rockbox utility under file/configure/device, click on browse and find the iPod drive.

35. 35 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    Still not happening. I can easily Browse to it and select it but when I click on “OK”, I get the Configuration error of “Your configuration is invalid. This is most likely due to a new installation of Rockbox Utility or a changed device path. The configuration dialog will now open to allow you correcting the problem.” It then just loops back into the Configuration screen.

    Another detail, if it helps: If I do the iTunes Restore, though it doesn’t work, the Rockbox Utility will then detect the iPod correctly and install the files. But, again, it won’t boot into either firmware.

36. 36 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    One other thing: The iPod has no problem going into Disk Mode when it gets plugged in via USB. So if I wanted, I can easily use the iPod as an external drive. It just won’t recognize installed firmware.

37. 37 On July 3rd, 2008, Scott said:

    Bit of progress. I formatted the drive (it is one partition currently) and Rockbox Utility will actually get past the Configuration error but when I try to do a “Small installation”, it can’t find my iPod which is currently plugged in and in Disk Mode.

38. 38 On July 4th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Scott, I am really surprised you are having problems with the RiData, but it really is pointing towards a card which is just not compatible with the iPod.

    Looks like iTunes and Rockbox are having problems creating and reading to the 40Mb boot partition, as a last ditch attempt maybe you can restore on to your A-Data card, install Rockbox then using a diskimaging software copy bit for bit on to the RiData.

    If this fails try and get a refund on the RiData and get the Transcend instead.

39. 39 On July 4th, 2008, Scott said:

    Yeah, it is unfortunate but I knew it was a risk going in. I find it really odd that it doesn’t work but d’em da breaks. I guess I’ll get myself a Transcend. I really would like to gain faster write speeds and be able to use Rockbox (not able to with my A-Data).

40. 40 On July 4th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Scott,

    Maybe you have not noticed but there is a fix for Rockbox and the A-Data cards.

41. 41 On July 4th, 2008, Scott said:

    I didn’t see you modified a July 3rd build. Excellent! Thanks for all your help! I will definitely give that build a try.

42. 42 On July 4th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Obviously, nothing on the planet will make the ’speedy’ A-Data ….. speedy…..

    The Transcend is fast than the A-Data so it may be worth changing…

43. 43 On July 8th, 2008, Robert Paulson said:

    I’ve had the adapter running for about a month now and I love it – My 5g is lighter and I’m less worried about dropping or otherwise scaring the HD – plus it’s faster in accessing songs.

    A few minor problems – if it’s been left unused for a couple of days, I get a ‘restore’ screen as startup – that’s fairly easily cured by turning the hold switch on/off and waiting a minute for reboot – but if there is a fix, I’d really like to know about it. Please advise.

    thanks.

    Transcend 8GB Compact Flash CF Ultra 133X

44. 44 On July 9th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Hi Robert,

    This has been covered before – basics of it is the apple firmware is using very agressive timings coming out of deep sleep which is just too fast for certain cards.

    The cards which seem to be affected are the slower types like the Transcend and A-Data.

    For a work around, just let the restore screen dissappear and then press menu again – this should boot the iPod up ok.

45. 45 On July 10th, 2008, Michael Katkin said:

    Hi Adam,

    I’m having problems getting my ipod to start up with you nifty adapter. Previously I enjoyed a few months of ipod service using a 16 GB ADATA card and your awesome flash adapter. And no, I’m not being sarcastic I think it rocks. However, my ADATA card failed. I have no idea why.

    Now, I’m trying to get a Sandisk Extreme III 8 GB card working. Seems to restore fine. After my ipod reboots, it goes back into restore mode. Seeing that this problem was similar to Scott’s, I tried booting the ipod into disk mode and formatting the drive. The drive showed up, disk mode apparently works, and I was able to format it. But, alas, after the ipod restore, the ipod reboots into the restore screen.

46. 46 On July 10th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Michael,

    This Sandisk you have is it the newer faster version of the extreme III (I think they have a label with 40MB/s tranfer boast) ?
    Someone else did get in touch that they were having the restore loop issue with the newer extreme III 16Gb card, sadly they never reported back to me with anymore info.
    Last thing to also think about, is the card real – there are lot of fake Sandisk cards and they do look very real.

47. 47 On July 11th, 2008, Michael Katkin said:

    Thanks Tarkan!

    I think your right about the fact that it may be counterfeit. The card boasted 30 MB/Sec transfer rate, but I only realize about half of that. Makes me raise an eyebrow…

48. 48 On July 13th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Michael, The guy with the 16Gb gave me a visit – he left the card with me – I checked it over and I am pretty sure it is original (serial no. checks out, transfer speed checks out, but the price he paid for it does not!!)

    Sadly it is looking like Sandisk have messed about with these 30MB/s (2008) models they do not work in the 5g iPods and they also seem to have issues with certain cameras.

49. 49 On July 31st, 2008, Bigsouth said:

    I’ve looked around for a fix, but I can’t seem to find one related to my issue.
    If I leave my iFlash iPod Video(originally 30gb) off for 8-12 hours, and go to turn it on, I get the ‘connect to iTunes to restore’ screen. Then I let is sit for a minute and retry, then it’ll reboot and come up normal.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Here is the card I bought. ebay id# 380016380925
    I’ve restored it on several different computers. I’d enabled disk use. I’ve tried most solutions related to boot loops…but to no avail.
    HELP ME MR WIZARD!

50. 50 On August 2nd, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Bigsouth,

    The issue you are seeing is down to slow CF cards and Apple firmware.

    Read this link :- http://www.tarkan.info/20080115/tutorials/iflash-ipod-compact-flash-mk2#comment-2585

    It is annoying, the work round like you have discovered is to let the iPod power down when the restore screen is displayed then press the menu button again to power up as normal.

    Using an A-Data Speedy 4GB here. It’s working without a hitch.

57. 57 On December 22nd, 2008, EricB said:

    Have you gotten any word at all about the Microdia 64GB CF Card (official or unofficial)? I’ve been reading intently on the different cards available, I don’t want to spend money on one card only to have to spend even more on the Microdia.

    If not, could you possibly recommend a card that is the most reliable in your experience? I definitely want a 32GB, and I’m willing to spend the money for reliability, especially since I’m not very good with computers and would be almost helpless if something went wrong.

58. 58 On December 24th, 2008, Tarkan said:

    Microdia and for that matter Pretec have not responded to my questions or requests.

    The 64Gb cards at the moment are just too expensive – I never seen a review of these cards or even heard of anyone who has actually bought or used one.

    The A-Data Speedy 32Gb or the Transcend 133x 32Gb cards are good and cheap. The A-Data is slower of the two, and cheapest ($61 at newegg). Transcend is a good card but be warned some people have experienced the restore loop issue with them – I suspect corrupt Partition table or faulty card.

59. 59 On December 24th, 2008, EricB said:

    Thanks. I was just looking at the Microdia cards on ebay, and I had no idea that they were that insanely expensive, and these were much smaller capacities than the 64GB. I’d have to agree with the news forums on their sight in guessing it could cost around $1500. That’s just silly.

    I think I’ll be trying out the Transcend 133x. Do you know of any cards that are slightly higher quality than these, obviously not Microdia quality, but something of a reliable brand? I’d be happy to test a new one out if you think it’s promising, and then check back with my results. I’d like to spend $150 or less, and the Transcend card is $76 on Newegg at the moment. Have you tried the Dual Channel Transcend cards? I don’t know if they come in 32GB, but if they do, I’d be interested.

60. 60 On January 5th, 2009, BrianO said:

    I bought the Transcend 133x 32gb but it hasn’t worked for me. Tried reformatting the card and even switched CF adapters (I bought two from you) with the same result. Pulled out a smaller SanDisk ULTRA II from my camera and that one is working fine. Guess I need to try another brand. This was for a 30gb iPod Video. (I even tried switching iPods, as I have two that are not working but neither worked for this card.

61. 61 On January 5th, 2009, Tarkan said:

    BrianO,

    Are you getting the restore loop issue?

    So many people use this card with no problems but at the same time if someone is suffering from this restore loop issue it is always the Transcend.

    Have you tried clearing the partition table or formatted the card in another device like a camera.

    Jim / David – thanks for updating on your successes.

    Vali – I do actually try and keep the list upto date, but unless people actually let me know what has worked or has not and if we can confirm it is the card otherwise I don’t know what works or does not.

    Can you tell me the exact details for the card you had and I will add it to the list..

    The Ridata is “Lightning Series” 233x 32GB. Manufacturer link below:

    http://www.ritekusa.com/product_main.asp?division_id=2&products_id=3

    After uploading the software from Itunes, the Ipod reboots and looks like loading something (progress bar), but after restarting it gets back to the “Connect with Itunes” display.

    Pulling the card from adapter and inserting into PCMCIA adapter on my ThinkPad it shows an unallocated space of 70MB before the rest of partition. This space should be the 40MB I saw discussed about, I guess and I think that it’s the partition for Ipod OS.

    Tried with PC, Mac, Fat32, EXTFS3, etc.

    One thing to notice is that on Ridata site on the page with the link above they state that there are some cards with issues, and they will exchange the card if faulty. I will borrow a SLR with CF to test it, the issue appears in these cameras in continuous shot mode, and if it proves to be one of those cards, I will return it for exchange.

    Another thing is that this card is MLC and has its own power management. I wonder if this can affect the behavior of the card.

    Hi Tarkan,
    I purchased a Transcent 16GB 133x from Newegg and it DID NOT work. It would not boot at all. Then the card died. I’m RMA-ing it now to Newegg for a replacement. But I’m wondering if the newer flash chips are just too fast and are not able to get out of the white restore screen because of that HD speed thing where the card is just going too fast?

    The 32gb A-data is out of stock and I’m worried that will also have newer chips in it on the next batch and also not work.

    Tarkan, or the community, do any of you have a recommendation on a card I can order that’ll be pretty much guaranteed to work?

    How about any of these listed here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010070068%201053107923%201053325334&name=16GB

    Thanks.

    Oh, and PS, I tried the Semco CF>SDHC adapter and it DID NOT WORK either. Bought here: http://www.amazon.com/Type-Adapter-Supports-SDHC-SD-CF/dp/B000YZGCIU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1234193746&sr=8-4
    So don’t bother with that one anyway. Just FYI.

    Dave,

    Thanks for the info.

    Several people have ordered the iflash and mentioned they are getting the Transcend 16gb, none of them have reported any problems – Hopefully it is something specific to the card you had.

    Keep me informed..

    Few days back someone emailed that they are using a Kingston 16Gb card – I have repied asking for exact name and model. I will update the list above once I have that info.

77. 77 On February 19th, 2009, Tarkan said:

    Ok, it is beginning to look like recently bought Transcend 32Gb cards are causing this restore loop issue.

    Hey I know it’s been a while, but I thought I’d pass on a little trick I stumbled upon. If anyone out there has had trouble with the plastic tools breaking, then they’re in luck. When I first tried opening the iPod, both my tools almost immediately bent and broke. Not fun. I thought about using a knife but I didn’t want to scratch the casing. So I stared looking for something else, and being a musician, I found the perfect alternative.

    Guitar picks.

    They’re very easy to wedge into the case and then pry it off. You can even stick multiple picks into one side at time if you want to even more careful.

    one strange new about restore loop, if I hold select and play the ipod seems able to boot, then goes in disk mode and Itunes recognizes it and I can sync , but when I disconnect restore loop again. what do you think about it.
    I have trascend 8 gb 133i card.

    I just purchased 3 Kingston Elite Pro 133X 16Gb-S2 version cards from JRs. Interestingly, all 3 work fine in an ipod 5th Gen 30Gb video, but none work in an 80Gb 6th Gen ipod classic (get the dreaded restore loop!!).

    Just an FYI to others hoping to use these cards in a Classic. Maybe the cheaper S2KR cards work better??

    For the heck of it I tried a 4Gb microdrive from a mini and it worked fine in the Classic.

    Oh well…

    Kingston Elite Pro 16 Gb S2 version (vs S2KR) definately does not work in the ipod Classic that I had available.
    While this card works in my 5.5G video, it has the restore problem after waking from a deep sleep.

    Maybe the S2KR card is better??

86. 86 On March 2nd, 2009, Tarkan said:

    Steve,

    Thanks for updating this…

    I always had the Classic as being less fussy than the Video. I think it may be the time to create seperate compatiblity lists for the 5g and 6g.

    More and more iFlash buyers are buying for the Classic – so hopefully the list can be built-up quickly.

    Tarkan, thank you for quickly dispatching the iFlash adapter.

    I successfully installed the adapter into a 5.5g 30GB unit tonight.

    So far no problems with two different Kingston CF cards:

    Kingston 2GB
    Kingston Elite Pro 32GB

    I now have a fully functional 30GB iFlash iPod Video!

    Bought your adapter. Unfortunately also bought a newer Transcend 32GB card WHICH DOES NOT WORK. Not sure if I want to bother with another card. It’s for wife’s video ipod and she’s sick of waiting, so we may end up putting in a 120gb drive.

    I hope the iFlash will work with this card in my old ipod 3G.

    I was worried because it went through one restore loop. But it booted up after the second restore. No problems after that.

90. 90 On March 6th, 2009, tv said:

    FYI, 160GB iPod seems to use different ribbon connector compared to the other iPod models. So for 160GB iPod you’ll need to buy also new cable from mb to iFlash. I ordered mine from iFixit and it seems to work just fine.

    Also, I got 32GB Kingston Elite Pro 133x to use it with my iPod classic, doesn’t seem to work. Restore looping. I’ll try some more and if not, try to return the card and get some other. Can someone recommend me working 32GB card for Classics?

91. 91 On March 23rd, 2009, Jay Lee said:

    Hello Tarkan,

    I have the following results so far with the iFlash into iPod 5g Video:

    16GB & 32GB Kingston Elite Pro 133x: Pass
    32GB Ridata Lighting Series 233x: Fail

    The Kingston Elite Pro 133x in 16GB and 32GB also worked for the Mini 1g & 2g, iPod 3g, Ipod 4g (only on second mainboard rev, see timv’s post here after the main article: http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-your-4th-Gen-iPod-to-use-Flash-Memory/)) but they get really slow on long uploads. The workaround seemed to be in breaking up the uploades in to smaller groups and it would maintain speed.

    The Ridata Lighting Series 233x 32Gb did work in the iPod 3g, and may well work in the Minis, but did not work for the iPod 4g (rev2). When it works, it’s a really fast card.

    I was about to try the 32GB Transend units but with the buzz lately about them no longer working, there’s now a big hole between the US$70 Kingston and A-Data units and the SanDisk Ultra and Extreme Series at US$200+.

    Thanks for the great work on the iFlash.

    Regards,
    Jay

    I don’t have this adapter, or a video iPod, but I do have a Kingston elite pro 16GB S2 (the packaging says S2Kr though…) and it does not work fully in my 4th gen iPod. It can write the firmware (I see the partition, and I’ve written my HD’s firmware partition to it too, still no booting) and I can sync it when in disk mode, but it will not boot. I wonder if this is due to read speed? (The card is a bit slower than the old HD…)

When I plug it back into the computer, Windows (Vista) asks me to format the drive, and itunes either asks to restore again or just does not recognize the ipod at all. Has anybody else had this issue? I’m going to buy a new card to see if that is the problem.

In response to Timv’s post mentioned above ref: post 91 – my mainboard number is not either of the ones listed….it is 820-1462-A. I am assuming that this is an old rev board and will not work with higher capacity cards….. anyone have any suggestions before I waste anymore time and money?

     Tarkan: Since there seems to be so much discrepancy with different ipod models/cards do you think you could update the compatibility chart to list which cards have worked/not worked in which ipods?

     More and more people are now buying the iFlash for the 6g Classic iPods and some differences are appearing in the compatiblity list.

118. 118 On August 29th, 2009, Tarkan said:

     Hi,

     Yes it will do – Rockbox is generally not aware of the storage used, so you have a wider choice of CF cards which you can use.

     The restore loop issues and most card compatiblity issues are due to the Apple firmware – so when that is replaced with the Rocxbox bootloader you do not have these issues.

     I didn’t encounter the looping issue for the Transcend 133x 16GB CF card on the iPod 3G. I used the USB cable to restore the firmware from iTune to the iPod. After the restore completed, iTune prompted me to disconnect and connect to an external power source which I used the firewire cable to connect the iPod to the FW port on my PC. The iPod restarted automatically and can see the restoration progress bar on the iPod running and doing its job. Subsequently this was completed successfully without any looping and prompted me to setup the iPod settings.

     Kingston Elite Pro 133x 4gb
     Restore loop problem. Maybe this has to do with how the bootloader on the ipod loads the firmware…. iTunes tends make the unpartitioned space that holds the firmware have different physical and logical beginings and ends. If I format it using the fdisk methos in linux it only boots when the unpartitioned space is a certain range of sizes. Could the cf cards have some space reserved for their own use and the iPod could be trying to boot off that reserved space? Just taking a rondom guess… Does anyone actually know what causes the restore loop? If not does anyone know of a place to find what memory adress the ipod loads this all from and then check what is stored in that exact spot on the compact flash card… or is this all just an issue with the ide mode of the cf cards?

128. 128 On October 29th, 2009, yaychicken said:

     Ah one question does anyone know if these cards have algorithms o reduce wear on individual sections of the memory? if so then the apple firmware might be unpacking itself and being written to random places over that partition therefore the ipod never finds the correct instrucions to boot and needs to be restored….. if thas true then loader1 and 2 as well as the rockbox bootloader should work however the ipod firmware should not unless written to the ipod after being unpacked….. I might have no clue what Im saying but just a thought….

     Hello, Tarkan.

     I received the iFlash parcel yesterday and already tried it with a 4GB Apacer Photo Steno III Pro 133X. I know, it isn’t the fastest and biggest CF card, but I will use it as a stopgap measure until I get my hands on something more decent. As about this card – didn’t have any problems while installing. Everything went just like you’ve shown in your tutorial. So I guess you can include this one in the list, too.

     Cheers,
     tda

     Hi Adam,

     After reading the 137 posts above, I am also having trouble with looping…I think. Is there a description of what looping is? Is it when restore completes most everything, then shows the bar loading with the apple, then just starts over and over??? If so, I have looping on my ipod 5th gen, using the FILEMATE 32GB UDMA Compact Flash CF Card I bought off of ebay. Is there any way around it? or do I need a different card? I also read something about installing Rockbox. Will that solve the problem? Too bad all cards don’t just work…

     Hi Rick,

     It does sound like the restore loop you have – generally when that happens it means the card is not compatible with the Apple firmware. Some people have had luck playing about with partition software to repartition the card, but most of time even that does not work.

     If your not too tide to the Apple firmware then I do suggest on a 5g iPod to try Rockbox – it is quite good and it is will supported with many features.

     Can I use a SD to CF adapter with the iFlash? If so, would the CF adapter just need to be a Type I? Thanks in advance.

     Hey Tarkan,

     I was wondering if anyone has tried out any 64gb cf cards yet. I’ve got my eye on one (info attached) for 430 Australian dollars. What is your take?

     Tarkan,

     Thanks for sending the adapter out so quickly.

     Shipped around the world (Hawaii) in a blink of an eye (again).

     iFlash #3 is ready to go.

     I’ll be back to pick up iFlash #4!

     Thank you!
