Went to a museum that had a big ass screen and decided to put the Wayback Machine for when the 5th gen Nano was new on Apple’s website

Greetings

I got this 5th gen iPod on ios 7.1.2 with fmi off that got a 4-digit passcode

I tried all the things mentioned for “iwannabrute” and “32-bit SSH Ramdisk” but no matter what i do, the script for “iwannabrute” keeps saying “A5 device detected” and i can’t ssh ramdisk it or save the onboard SHSH Blobs via LIK because it keeps saying the same thing (IBSS payload gets stuck at 66% and it also says “A5 device detected/not in Pwnd dfu mode”)

I wanted to see if it’s possible to brute force the passcode and find it out or somehow save the blobs for 7.1.2 and restore it via LIK w/o an Arduino or a Pico.

I got an M3 Mac with Sonoma and a Type-c hub and i got Homebrew installed.

I know this question might be repetitive but i really appreciate any additional help because i might’ve missed sth.

Thanks in advance!
