Earlier this year I demoed iOS 6 running on an iPod touch 3 - a device that Apple never gave iOS 6 to, making iOS 5.1.1 the latest build it can run

A few months later I also released a scriptthat generates an iOS 6 restore image installable on that iPod touch model

This article describes technical details behind this work. Certain proficiency in iOS internals is assumed

I’ve got a few comments here:

1. Congratulations on getting this working! This is a LOT of hard work
2. It’s surprising to me that someone still has a functioning iPT3 — I had three, they all suffered the same fate: the home button dome collapsed, rendering them unusable because of the design.
3. It would be interesting to pair this with emulation of the iPT3.
