Lock the HOLD switch, then unlock it after a second.

The video is outdated, showing the old procedure (using Python/pyusb and ipoddfu.py). Also, it doesn't show USB driver installation, because I already have them installed. The commands are longer, because I have the files in different directories. There's also a video of (almost) the whole procedure.

You repartition the hard disk, upload the new firmware and reboot the iPod - all these three at once using ipodscsi.

The iPod shows a monochrome disk mode screen.
