While you can do this upgrade up through gen 7 iPods I believe, you really should stick with gen 5/5.5 and get the 'large case' versions so 60/80gb, avoid the 30gb as they are slightly thinner and I believe have less RAM (32gb) versus the 64gb in the 60/80gb models. The later models that can be upgraded have some lame upper limit on disk space that the board will recognize (128gb or so).

If you run Rockbox, the device will just mount as a regular "removable device" (think, USB flash/thumb drive) so you manage the files in directory structures, which pretty much eliminates the issue of the board needing to do indexing and being slow like the stock Apple firmware behaves with upgraded story (Rockbox does have an indexing/database function as well, if you so desire to use).

Rockbox can also read the iOS managed structure as well, and you can still boot into the original firmware and manage the music via iTunes if you absolutely want to (turn off iPod, turn back on and quickly turn on the hold switch while booting). Note, if you go that route, you'll have to use the Rockbox "database" feature, which is slower and will be a little painful on re-indexes if the library changes.

The Wolfsen DAC in these players is much better quality than any of the other media devices that Apple build after the 5.5g and they can be found used for very little cash. I'm running a 512gb mSATA, with a 2000mAh battery and I love it.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

I had this problem. After a little Google searching I decided to try and bend the pins back myself.

I used the narrow flat plastic tool from a set like this to bend the pins. Used a flashlight to illuminate the work area.

Six months later, still working without further incident.

Since I could not make it not work more I figured this was ok to try.
Be careful bending your reader's pins. Deciding to bend it back was a decision I made and may not be right for you

Those might work, but the ones for electronics/phones are better for something smaller like you have. More like the nylon pry tool in this kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHNMEMC

I googled your post title and this was the first result.

Looking good! How have you liked building this? I am probably going to build this same kit next.

As for you doing your "partial" assembly (not really snapping everything together all the way so it is easier to pull apart for painting), I invested in some spudgers and those were extremely helpful when disassembling the pieces for painting. Now I can build without fear of scratching my pieces to hell when trying to pry them apart.

A refund! Da dum pish! J/K I would get the kryonaut and any tools needed to help open the case or a kit like this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHNMEMC/ref=pd_sim_147_2?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00PHNMEMC&pd_rd_r=9XVJ9XP49PHGGAJ3RJBG&pd_rd_w=YvP4h&pd_rd_wg=EUjKR&psc=1&refRID=9XVJ9XP49PHGGAJ3RJBG

Google won't do anything for you if you didn't buy it from them. Like others have said you can try and contact Huwawei and see if they will do anything for you. I repair phones in my free time and you totally can repair the housing, actually it's the easiest thing to repair on the phone. However it isn't THAT easy. Though if you were looking to repair it yourself here are some helpful links,

  Obviously you don't need all of the tool packs, you can choose your favorite haha. Lemme know if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to help out!
  
  P.S. the phone lookes awesome when you mix and match the colors - https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/41s8gl/my_frankenstein_nexus_6p/

I would suggest buying a plastic prying kit to minimize your chances of breaking those tabs.

Plastic pry kit

Honestly if were me in your situation I’d try to fish the change out with something like this electronic pry tool kit

I got this kit to work on bezels. It can feel like you'll break it but it's usually the little tabs that'll break if you're careful.

Highly recommend ordering something like this, if possible.
