Same issue even after removing HDD
I thought replacing the HDD with an SSD would allow me to bypass this issue however it is very much still there. The device doesn’t show on iTunes so I don’t have the ability to restore it. Please help!

I’m trying to restore my iPod classic (6th gen) after changing the battery and the front + backplate. I should point out that I attempted to upgrade the software to 2.0.2 prior to changing the battery (to fix a charging issue bc the iPod only charges using a laptop). I installed rockbox to do so but then i decided to change the actual battery first. Now im unable to restore the iPod and rockbox isn’t fully uninstalled (?).
This is my first time trying to swap an iPod classic’s faceplate for a new one but the glass has this white film (?) on it which I assume needs to be removed but it won’t come off no matter how hard I try. I’m scared of damaging the actual glass if I keep at it. Please help!
