Hi All

I installed and it did updated firmware and does provide 2.0 interface.

However somehow I am locked out of iTunes Store access from iPod (even the Itunes store button disappears).

Finally when I installed apps they were initially properly synced to iPod. However after a period of time, iTunes refuses to synch apps and the existing apps on iPod fail to start.

I think apple must be using iTunes to validate whether license for iPod firmware was purchased or not, and locks you out if it was not.

For those downloading rapidshare parts use HJSplit to join them in windows.

Thanks so much!
This is going to be so fun updating it for free.

Thanks mate, you’ve just made my day!!!

It works like a charm

Is installer available on FW 2.0?

thanks it works like a charm!! this apple policy agains user is driving me nuts!

HOLY CRAP!!!!
Thanks a lot man! This actually works!!!!!!!!!

is this solution for both mac and windows? haven’t tried it yet, just asking while i wait for the d/l

Maybe you could add, that in Mac OS X you have to press ALT (instead of shift in windows).

Man you are great.
it work fine
i hope it works with every one
i will try to upload the 2.0 frimwire on my website so you people will have a free quick way to download it
thanks agian

Will I lose Installer.app and all other stuffs if I update to firmware 2.0 ?

hey thanks for this … but .. i press shift and nothing happens.. Where or when its supposed to ask for this .ipsw file ??
thanks for any suggestion

Although I was willing to pay for the upgrade, I simply could not buy it because Apple don’t let some countries buy stuff using iTunes (like Aruba). My U$D visa seems to be worth nothing @ Apple.

Thank you so much for making this available! It works just great, and it’s a beautiful upgrade overall.

whenever i try updating it, it says “an unknown error occurred (1403)”…….help?

I followed the last steps and I got this unkwown error 0xE8000035 Do you know why this is happening?

Is downloading this jailbreaking your iPod touch?

This WORKS GREAT!!!!! Thanks I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! (I am the above poster)
I have downloaded the whole thing yesterday and it worked like a charm.
The only thing was, I got two errors about an iPhone but I don’t have an iPhone…
I am still downloading free apps.
You are the best!

I dont have any problem syncronizing or downloading apps, after installing this firmware you can restore it to the real firmware version of apple without pay.

enjoy for free

ohhh no..

IT WORKS!!!=)
thank you so much for this!!!=)

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much! The idea of paying Apple another $10 after the $20 Jan update really pissed me off.

thanks again!

Did anyone tried to jailbreak their ipod with ziphone with itunes 7.7? Did it work?

Thanks for the information, I greatly appreciate it!

For those of you having trouble, after you download the new iTunes and the ipsw file from one of the addresses given in the original post, plug in your iPod touch. When iTunes opens, the restore button is located on the main tab where you would sync the files from your library. You want to hold down the shift key when you click on the restore button and a window should open asking for the ipsw file. It’ll work and tell you that the iPod is being restored to its factory settings but then you’ll see all the new features afterwards on the iPod screen. The only bummer is that all your files have to be re-synced but that’s just a minor issue.

Thank you so much. This really works. My daughter has one Ipod Touch and I upgraded hers for USD 10. Not willing to pay another USD 10 for my Touch that I took this suggestion. The total time is still faster even if you to have to do a re-sysnced.

Cool, it’s work on my 16Gb ipod touch.
I have been tried to upgrade to 2.0 with many video guides from Youtube but they all craps!!
For Mac user you have to hold down the shift key when you click on the restore button.
Waiting for jailbreaking 2.0 and add installer..
Thanks dude!!!

Thanks for that
It’s working well most the time, but my iPod randomly resets itself when i go to load an app. Do you know why?
By the way, I downloaded from RapidShare.

I’ve do it with Uploaded.to but when I click restore and click the firmware It says ”error 1403” what should I do?

Awsome load speed in west america will update on how it works

beauty

bluff. i added the file, it told me “unknown error” in itunes 7.7.

far from a bluff, worked great, instructions are very easy. Thanks.

Revision for my comment
For Mac user you have to hold down the alt/option key when you click on the restore button.

This actually works
thanks man
it took me two hours and i live in norway

When I click restore (like restore to factory settings??), will it erase everything on my ipodtouch? (such as music, ect.)

works like a charm thanks

Bel,
The same thing just happened to me.
Idk why.
I put my iPod in recovery mode,
Downloaded the file.
Pressed shift and clicked restore clicked the file and then it said unknown error!?!
Help

HELP!

I upgraded to the official Apple iPod Touch 2.0 software through iTunes and it worked fine for the first two days. After that I keep getting message saying that an “unknown error 0xE8000035 has occured”! I can’t use my iPod or sync. I’ve tried restoring and hard restarting. I’ve killed the battery twice and nothing works! HELP ME!

Please e-mail me at sizlopedia@myersjj.com with any answers you might have!

worked for me too.
i pod touch 32 gig. came with firmware 1.1.4

install i tunes 7.7
firmware 2.0 downloaded from uploaded.to mirror
shift + restore in itunes
select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

let it update

ill post if i have glitches.

itunes store loaded fine on ipod. didnt try purchase nor will i ever. i do that.

this is a firmware update so it will erase everything on the ipod. bookmarks, history, wpa wep keys, photos, music, video. EVERYTHING.

thank you very much. You’re the man.

hey, for tose of you who have problems with iTunes, just go to iTunes and click on ‘Restore’, this will restore your iPod to factory settings, since you already have the 2.0 ver. iTunes will download it for free and you will have the actual (Official) update without having to pay anything

thanks very much you saved me money works very well

Thank you very much my friend. Works fine

For the person who asked about Installer on 2.0 read this… http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

i cam get it work?? help me plzz..

Yo, dude! thnx man it works so fucking nicely, u da man!!

well hi there… for the ppl asking if there was installer… well yes but there is pwnage involved first (look at the link above me…with the link to the dev team blog) BUT even if there is installer sadly there is NO apps ported to 2.0
this means that none of the apps found in installer and in cydia (alternative to installer) will be able to work in firmware 2.0 … so in bottom line jailbreaking 2.0 does nothing except get you ready for the future apps (hopefully)

Wats the difference between Pwnage tool and download?

Can this be seen as jail breaking an i pod???

Does this work on i pod touch running on the 1.1.5 version?

Hay men.. thank u very much.. hope 2 hear more cool stuff from u. peace out!

i dont understand these directions fully.
how would i do this on a Mac OS X computer, when i already have itunes 7.7 downloaded.
thanksss

I have newer version 1.1.5 and it won’t let me install the ipsw.
It won’t give me the option to select the ipsw file. Anyone has the same problem.

16GB iPod Touch
1.1.4 Jailbroken

Installed this update and it worked perfectly, though lost all jailbroken apps including Installer.app and Cydia. I am able to download apps using iTunes and put them on the iPod. I am not in a wifi area so I haven’t been able to test them, but it looks good so far.

I’m pretty annoyed that it costs another $10 after already paying $20 before, and it also costs for most of the apps. But I guess we get the security of knowing Apple has checked all of these apps and if anything were to happen because of them Apple would warranty the iPod.

Apple = Evil! But there is something attractive in evil.
Damn them for making us want them more! -_^

i downloaded the file, but i too get the error 1403. What should i do?

It took around 15 minutes but completed successfully upgrading firmware from 1.1.2 to 2.0 on my 8GB Apple Ipod Touch. Thanks a lot for your excellent step by step instructions.

sweet yo it worked thanks dude!
great!!!!!!

sweet

Thnks works great!

So before I do this, the Store still works after I do this?

Hey ppl,
can anybody help me. tel me what is the difference between
MA623LL/A and 623LL/B which seems to be the model of ipod touch?

will it be exactly like the newer version? is there any other difference between those two>?

yoo guys everything worked fine but when i try to install an app, it tells me to place connect to itunes while im already on itunes and the ipod is connected.. any suggestions?

Extra mirrors if anyone needs max speed, I’ve uploaded the firmware to rapidshare. If you have dsl, you can just turn off, then turn on your modem after each part so you don’t have to wait. The links are below in 3 parts.

How to get installer for 2.0 ???
It’s the best program ever !

Hi,

I tries extracting but it gives an unknown error 5. Then the ipod would display a usb cable and itunes logo on the screen. I had to restore it to ver. 1.5

Is this becuase i downloaded it illegally and since the itunes didnt detect the license forced me to use the older version…..please help….thx

wow this is really cool thank you. i live in Malta where i cant get buy updates thanks to you i have 2.0 thank you very much

No, mainly because they wouldn’t have a case as it would be entrapment.

does it work with ipod touch 16 gb version 1.1.5??

Thanks a lot. That really work. You make my day.

ok i did everything u told me i download the itunes 7.7 i downloaded the firmware but i click all i tried shift alt both but it doesnt do anything help me please i have the 1.1.5 firmware help me please what should i do???

guys i have a 16 gig ipod touch and im an idiot cause i just updated to 1.1.5, thinkin there would be new stuff. now theres no restore button, just a “restore backup” sign…..

to all the updaters like me…I THINK WERE SCREWED! HELP!

Doesn’t work. I get an error and then I have to fully restore my iPod Touch. -.-

I’m quite frustrated and irritated right now because it isn’t working and I’ve done your instructions exactly.

For those who are using the rapidshare links in downloading the FW, if your system is Windows XP, use HJSplit ( http://www.freebytesoftware.com/download/hjsplit.zip ) to join the three splitted files…

Hi guys if you are looking for the faster download go to piratebay and type ipod touch 2.0 firmware you will get the best speed possible here.

It’s good and no problem !!! Tks so much !

I hope what Jay says isn’t true. =(

Thanks dude. it works =)

Works great, thanks!!

Hey ..
I did the update but now and after hocking the iPod to the iTunes, i got a message that there is a new update which is 2.0.2
When i tried to download it i got this error:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/d0456b/n/error_JPG

Is this related to this update ?
is this why i am not able to update ?

Can you get the 1.1.4 version?

Worked like a charm!

Thanks!

dude it actually worked!! like, perfectly!!! dude THX!!!!

ok why does the link not take you to an official apple webpage?

Thank you for posting this. It worked perfectly. I was really mad when I found out that I had to pay $ to upgrade the OS when I bought the iTouch NEW!!! It’s almost like buying a new car, and when you get home, you find out your car has a carburetor and I need to pay $ to upgrade to fuel injection. And the iTouch is not cheaper than the iPhone, and they get a free upgrade. Anyways, thank you very very much!

worked great, thanks dude

I am a potential candidate interested in this download.
Hey!I am worried why there is n’t any genius to answer for those who had error messages and stuck after they did download!!!Hope some one will come!

Is it still working

Hey for the people that was having the problem with the ipod it was saying cannot sync with numbers. all you have to do is download Itunes again, and it will accept it. I use Mac so i’m not sure for microsoft.

Also Check under your Music File, click on itunes and search for anything that looks different and delete it

ooh i forgot to add to save you time and trouble before you do what he tells you hold down ctrl and click on your ipod and make a backup, takes 5 seconds.

is there any possible way that this could completely break your ipod touch??

it really works thanks!!

I tried using this method several times following the instructions, downloading from the sources provided, holding Shift when clicking restore, selecting the firmware I downloaded. All seems to be fine up until an error message pops up. I think one that says “-5″ something I can’t remember off hand.
This is the correct filename right?
iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
If so can someone PLEASE help?

I tried doing this by following the instructions:

1. Download iTunes 7.7 from Here.
did it
2. Hold Shift and click Restore.
did it
3. Select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
did it
4. Enjoy!
did not

Can someone please help?

The update went fine. However, iTunes still says that there is a newer version available but no worries, I can now (legally) download the update via iTunes. For free.

Sounds good, just let me try and let you know how it goes.

Wow, absolutely your are the man!! it worked fine.

hi. can any1 help me? i have 1.1.5 vers but i haven’t mail weather and the others icons. if i will do that will i have them?? thx

which download link did you use?

great job,

thx a lot.

Has anyone tried this with 1.1.5? If so please tell me thanks.

Hey I’m really interested in this, but I worried by a few things:

1. Restoring erases everything, but I could just put it all back on right?

2. How do I download the free applications? Can I buy the purchasable ones later on?

3. Really, will this work for anyone? (I have a 8gig iTouch never been jailbroken)

Thank-you!
