this worked perfectly thanks!!!!!!!!!!
WORKED GREAT – EASY TO SET UP
It said the firmware was not compatible with my ipod touch. What did I do wrong???
I tried doing this, i managed the download and everything but once i have the file on my folder and i try doing the process on itunes, the file doesn’t work. It says firmware -> and then two folders that say ‘dfu’ and ‘all_flash’. What can I do to get it right??
does it work on jailbroken ones?
Worked great thanks…beats paying money in what amounts to a hold up by Apple for Touch users.
DAMN!!! I WAITED A WHOLE BUNCH OF HOURS, AND NOW YOU MADE MY DAY!!!
LOTS OF THANKS !!!
SWEET! Worked perfectly. Fantastic, simple instructions… the hardest part was locating my temp files after the download! itunes did the rest, and although it wants me to upgrade to 3.1, I’m quite happy staying with this and not giving them my credtcard details
