iPhone Applications

To upgrade your iPhone or iPod Touch to OS version 2.0 firmware, you need to download and install iTunes 7.7 or later from Apple

, Then simply connect the iPhone or iPod Touch to the computer and update your device using iTunes as described here - > (Must read before upgrade).

You can also upgrade your device using the standalone upgrade here [iPhone Only, 225 Mb, Direct Download Link].

UPDATE:
How to install .IPSW file:

  1. Once the iPhone standalone update file is downloaded, save it to your Desktop.
  2. Launch iTunes 7.7
  3. Shift-Click on "Check for Updates".
  4. Navigate to your downloaded .ipsw file on Desktop.
  5. Once selected, the iPhone update works like it were automated and will extract itself.

WARNING: Only use this method if you are well aware of the risks involved in doing this, there is no responsibility of any kind and this could seriously make your device useless.

Comments

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

I have updated the article giving instructions on how to upgrade your iPhone or iTouch using the .ipsw method.

Does the .ISPW file have to be saved on the desktop? Or will iTunes be able to find it if it is anywhere on the computer?

Anywhere, you select a folder when you Shift+Click

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?

It's happened to me too, the iPod is just sitting there with the iTunes and USB cord icons on the screen. I've made sure that it's iTunes 7.7. What's going on, does anyone know?

THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO ME!
its so annoying and itunes store never helps
ahh

There is a delay because iTunes will try to download the "restore" in the background - check the Store>Downloads folder

Your iPod may have turned itself off (missing from the Devices list in iTunes) and so need turning back on to allow the restore to continue...

put ur ipod in dfu mode.
hold power button n turn off ipod.
Then clikc n hold power n main button for 10 seconds then leave power n hold main for 10 sec. have ur ipod plugged in to comp. then there shud be a box pop up in itues says identifyied pod in restore mode or something similar. click ok. then shift click restore n click on the frimware u want to restore to. wait n it will be done =D

This is for iPhone only. I just tried it and realized this is not the iPod version...

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

i have the same problem !! Life has not been the same :{ please anyone to me what to do

You can try the old iPhone Pwnage Tool : http://www.megaleecher.net/PwnageTool_2.0 , the version 2 is still to be released for public download.

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

Espero que esto me ayude

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

ok

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)

What do you mean option click? There is no key that says option...

For Mac OS the key is Option and For Windows its Shift.

How do you do this on a mac?
Where is the 'option' button that you hole down when pressing 'check for 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've the same problem, i download lots of mb's and its gets a folder not a ipsw file. in itunes i cant show anything in this folder.

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? :(

There is a delay because iTunes will try to download the "restore" in teh background - check the Store>Downloads folder

Your iPod may have turned itself off (missing from the Devices list in iTunes) and so need turning back on to allow the restore to continue...

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 !!!!

Did you get an answer to this? I have the same problem.

I have the exact same problem, i have been downloading different links but there is no .ispw file. Please help if you can.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS

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?

Hello, It’s not possible for me to save the file in Desktop cause my C drive is totally affected with virus. I’ve scanned with kaspersky several times but it just can’t detect the virus. Is there any problem if I save the file elsewhere?

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.
