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

THANKS A LOT!

Sweet!, it worked fine for me, I upgraded my first gen 2.2 software {previously 1.1 software (also hacked up to 2.2)} with no problems. Had to wait several hours but it was worth it.

Thanks

I have iPod Touch 1G and tried the appropriate update from the link above.

Followed the procedure with no problems. About half way through the upgrade process, it stopped with error 14 – no idea what it means. The only way to get the iPod back was through a full restore.

Repeated the process twice, with the same error every time.

Any suggestions how to solve this?
