I've downloaded the firmware of iTouch 1 then after I unzip the file I can not find the ispw. file that needed to update my 1st gen iPod touch？any helP?
Is this the same method if you are on a windows pc?
How come no comments? Has anyone actually tried to install this? Particularly in a 1G Touch?
if i download the ipod touch 1g software here, can i still download apps from the app store using my ipod touch with software? i still have an itunes account btw
Are you sure about the 'restore button'? Is it not the 'update button'?
I just started it with the 'restore button' but have a sneaky feeling about it. :S
Ok, the firmware could not be completed tha tway and now my iPod is in Recovery Mode. :(
What do I do?!
This doesn't work at all. I get the error: The iPod ____ could not be restored because the firmware is not compatible. I've tried both versions
woooo! thanks bro...couldnt get any other downloads to work...this one was a charm!
Hi,
Like to know this OS 3 works for every itouch 1st generation? must it be be bought in US before it can work? Thanks!
hi there, i'm on 1.1.5, 1st generation, can i upgrade to OS 3 directly? or i will need to upgrade to OS 2.2.1 then go to OS 3?
i tried to follow hit shift and restore, but it pops out an error msg saying, "firmware file is not compatible".. what shall i do? Thanks!
I'm using an iPod Touch with 2.2.1 installed. With a Windows PC, I chose to use the key combination shift-Windows while clicking on Restore as the instructions read (yes, there was some finger-crossing on my part and a little bit of knocking on wood).
I did not unzip the file after download. I figured correctly that iTunes is treating the package (which is about 225 megs in size) like a cab file and decompressing it as it loads.
So far so good...
It stopped...completed so it appears and now after re-starting the settings show that it is indeed version 3.0. WAY COOL!
Hopefully, the file is good and I don't run into any issues...like I said, cross fingers, knock on wood.
Thanks! Nice we could do this without jailbreaking the iPod Touch.
Ciao and good luck!
I had no problems updating my iPod touch (1st generation, firmware 2.0) with the new 3.0 firmware.
Thanks a lot!
Worked great for me! I just have to re-sync all my music, videos & apps when I get home since I upgraded at work & hadn't downloaded my stuff to my pc here. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for saving me $10!! It works on my second gen ipod touch! Thanks soo much!!
worked as it said.
Ipod touch 2nd Generation 8 Gb
Do we have to download both the firmware's or just the one of them according to our version?
yes...thanks so much, the firmware works perfect.
yes...it worked perfect, thanks
It worked for me.. click shift+update, then open the file that you downloaded from softpedia.
