how do i use the standalone upgrade? i already downloaded that but do not know how to use it.

wicked! you're cool and generous! thank you so much. - joez

Hey what do I do....I've done everything like you said but I keep getting a message that says..."The ipod cannot he restored an unknow error occoured(5)"
Now what?

Btw, now all I can see is a picture of the usb chord and the itunes logo on my screen.

hi. im getting the same error updating my ipod touch. are there any solutions to this? thanks so much in advance.

how do i shift-click and to what upgrade... do i have to click?

ok. go to itunes 7.7 then connect ur ipod. after it is connected go to the device and under summary there is a button called update ya?
so now after you have downloaded the file press shift button on your keyboard and press that update button. you will get it then...

I clicked restore instead maybe that is why it got messed up.

It was extracting the file and i thought it was working then it said error updating itouch (5)

Most annoying thing ever. Any help?

Now i have to restore my ipod

that standalone file is for iphone.

I am getting "An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-36)" and "The ipod "iPod" cannot be synced. The requested file cannot be found." I have purchased and loaded the new verson 2.0 software ($9.95) and spent 3 hours so far loading the software then letting my iMac restore the songs, videos and photos to the iPod touch. However, each time I get the above errors. I recommend waiting maybe several weeks until you load the new "Application" software to your iPod touch.

hi i like nachos

Following up my previous comment, I read the filename properly and found out it started with iPhone.
For iPod Touch owners, I suggest you download from this link:
http://uploaded.to/file/ih0z65/iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
And when iTunes tells you to restore, Shift+Alt click Restore in the Summary window and select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw.
Cheers.

the file downloaded as a .zip file how to i change it to the .ipsw

for the touch, to get it to navigate to the file, it's NOT shift-click. it's OPTION-click (update)

thx.

This is for the iphone... it wont work on an ipod touch.. if you have an ipod otuch youneed 2 get it for ipod touch. the download file even said ipohone. its susposed 2 say ipod touch

yah i tried it for like ages and none of the solutions work.

even the downloaded files says its iPod1,1_2.0_5A347 or iPod1,2_2.0_5A347

is there any other solutions for the update on a Itouch ??

Do you really need Itunes 7.7 to do the software upgrade to 2.0? Cause i have a older version of i tunes and the update didn't work, i kept getting a error message. Could it be because i don't have the new Itunes?

Is it for ipod touch or only for iphone????please help me!!

Fuck your comments

To itunes guy, yes, you NEED iTunes 7.7
I didn't think it mattered once but it makes all the difference

Im currently downloading the iPOD version of this firmware, so for the next guy, this is for iphone, but i got the link from the british guy "Yes, this is for iphone" I would highly recommend using that one for your pod, and this one for your phone.

Yes, i am god, and fuck u too. :P

personally, i got all my help from 'hi i like nachos' in the US.

when i put restore i do shift click,shift option click,option click,which one?
please someone.

I have a 32 gb Ipod touch and it worked fine for me.

Thanks a lot! :)

hey...im trying to figure out how to download an upgrade on my ipod touch... without having to pay $20/$40.... can anyone help? ive been reading all the other comments but its quite confusing

i can see some people are having problem. i have it as well so i did this. download the iphone 2.0 software to your computer, enable hidden files to be shown on your computer. after that open this folder in this manner ''c:/(your username)/app data/roaming/apple computer/itunes/iphone software updates'' for VISTA and ''C:\Documents and Settings\*USER HERE*\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates''for WINDOWS XP. copy the downloaded firmware to 'iPhone Software Updates' folder. close it and try to update your ipod through itunes. it worked for me. my ipod is 32GB version

when im unpacking the zip file on my mac the ipsw file becomes a folder -.-

i can look in it as it were a fuckin folder my other .ipsw files arent folders ....
what can i do?

I downloaded the iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw version and not worked, on iTunes stayed the mesage Preparing iPod software for restore... for a long long long time, what's wrong? :(

Do not download this. It is stupid. When I downloaded it I had to get my entire iPod repaired. Luckily they could could repair it. Whoever put this on this website, you should be very ashamed with yourself!!!

When i try load the downloaded ipod touch software using the iTunes 7.7. It gives me an error 4301... what does it means?? I follow the uploading using shift then click update.... Any nobody can help..

i just wasted like 2 hours trying to get the iphone version to work.... now i'm probably going to waste another 2 on the ipod versin....=[

im getting the update from iTunes which after all the terms and condition crap says do not interupt the download as it may take a while, its estimated time on decent broadband is 30mins, so far im on 38 hours and counting. any suggestions?

i dont see any .ipsw file in the zip file the i downloaded from the link above. there are only these files and folder in the zip file:

.fseventsd - folder
Firmware - folder
018-3782-2.dmg - file
018-3783-2.dmg - file
kernelcache.release.s5l8900x - file
Restore.plist - file

i need help with this !!!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS
it is a FAKE

didn't work out..

This is only for i-Phone
I REPEAT ONLY FOR I-PHONE

If you look at the downloaded file, it says i-Phone too
So if you have a i-pod touch, do not download, because it will come up with an error

Hey all,

Just thought I'd let you know it worked for me and my iPod Touch 8 Gig. Here's the link I used...

http://uploaded.to/file/ih0z65/iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

Took forever to download...like 3 hours. I think it has a max download speed put on by the website or something. Then, when I was installing it, I thought it froze...but it really does take a long time to install the new software. I don't think I have a first generation touch...I bought it pretty recently. Not sure how it will work with the first gen ones. Either way...I hope that it works out for all of you. I'm right now in the midst of downloading the update to 2.1 :-)

Good luck :)

i have itunes 8.0. i haven't account in apple store.i download this file and is itunes under the apple store i have music where i click shift+ctrl+click??

This is done and dusted "http://uploaded.to/file/ih0z65/iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw" where did you find the 2,1?

pls somebody..help.my ipod froza it only shows the connect usb and itunes icons after trying to update..plz tell me what to do

hi, i have everything as it should but the pineapple app says my firware is wrong version..

unhacked ipod touch 16gb, version 2,1 5f137
model : ma627ll

PwnageTool.app
iPod1,1_2-1.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
BL-46.bin
BL-39.bin

download itune 7.7
the file you download for ipod firmware2.0 is in zip format. then jus rename the file and end with .ipsw istead of .zip
then open itunes
connect ipod touch
then hold alt and option and then press restore then you can see the file you downloaded

then it works!!!

works!!!

Saved .ipsw file to my desktop.

Did a back up of my ipod, then clicked shift + upgrade in iTunes 10, a browser menu popped up, I went to my desktop where the downloaded .ipsw file was. Selected it, the ipod touch updated to 2.0, it is now currently updating to 2.1. It also restored all my music, pictures, etc... from the original back up I did before the update.

Thanks all.

This is for the iphone... it wont work on an ipod touch.. if you have an ipod touch you need 2 get it for ipod touch. the download file even said iPhone. its supposed 2 say ipod touch
