after i idid da jailbreaking.. can i uninstall the itunes 7.5 and put 7.7 again? coz my bro might get angry if he saw d 7.5…
-
thanks… *waiting for 2.0 jailbreaking*
-
iTunes doesn’t find mij iPod?
I can’t restore it?!?!?!?!?! -
If I downgrade iTunes to 7.5, will I lose all the musics???
Please help!!! -
@shun
Nope your itunes will stay there…. however they may get cleared from your library, but all you need to do is import your tunes from the destination folder again in to the library
@Jim
You need to just follow Step 2 explictly. You WILL be able to restore it. Just repeat the DFU mode until it works. The first time i entered DFU mode on my PC, it popped up with a notification icon telling me so
You
-
@jalie
Yep, you can then install 7.7 again, no probs.
-
do I have to pay for version 2.0 again when I downgrade to 1.1.4?
-
If you’ve already paid for it once, no. But you can always find it for nothing, just google
-
I’ve done it now for 10 times but it doesn’t work?
-
It works,
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
every thing cool apart from i still geting error trying to restor stom 1.1.4 file any advice? (zipone didnt help )
-
when i start to restore to 1.1.4 a message pops up saying an unknown error has occured (5) plz help
-
when i put it in dfl error 1601 comes up.plz help
-
Please:
I did this and i do not know how to get my previous library back onto the new itunes. Please, I am panicking right now!! I need detailed instructions ASAP!!! Please, i had over 500 songs, movies, videos, etc. ASAP!!!! -
Your itunes will remain intact on your computer, worst comes to the worst just import them all again. Your library essentially is just a link to your itunes folder
-
when i try to restore to 1.1.4 it gives me an error 1604.
what should i do? -
did you uninstall itunes 7.7 and then install itunes 7.5 first before trying to downgrade?
-
does it work if my ipod comes with version 2.0
-
i have a question… wats DFU means? haha… i just did d downgrade and it works… thanks…
-
@ santiago, should do…cant see any reason why not. Give it a go, worst case scenario is you’ll have to restore which isn’t a biggie
@jalie
DFU – Device Failsafe Utility
Enjoy your jailbreak!
-
how come when i uninstall itunes 7.7 it doesnt ask me to restart my computer?
-
hi! i accidentally installed a ver. 2.0 to my iphone.
when i had it fixed, they’ve restored it to ver. 1.1.4 but my wifi and bluetooth isn’t working.
it’s not that it cant find signal, its literally can’t be clicked and accessed . . .help!
how do i make it work again?
-
@ carlos
even if didnt say restart..
just restart it its no biggie… -
sorry not good in english
-
@janjan
explain more detail please… someone has restored your iphone for you??? I would maybe suggest try restoring it yourself in itunes with a shift+click ‘Restore’ and use the 1.1.4 firmware and if that doesnt work then surely you’ll be covered under warranty still so i would then suggest taking it back to the store you got it from
-
Yeah I’ve asked my friend to help me fix it, coz he had the same problem and he fixed it.
I’ve also tried restoring it myself by following all your instructions.
Everything went alright, I can now call and text, though I still can’t access my WiFi
T___T
-
Ok so can you still not access the wifi settings at all on your ipod? How about your bluetooth, is that working now?
-
I diowngraded my itunes to 7.5, put my itouch into DFU mode and did a restore to 1.1.4 but it still gives me an error 1601 so i used Z iphone to restart in normal mode but it says permission denied and won’t do anything.
plz help!! -
I downgraded my itunes, then it said something about that itunes library file, i looked for it, there were two, I deleted one, but it wont let me deleter the other one, it says it is no longer available, you wouldt think that would be a problem, but then I still cant open itunes 7.5, whats wrong?
-
hi i have followed all your instruction however i get a error message the ipod “ipod” could ot be restored an unkinw error occurred(-11). can you help at the last stage ware you have said press shift and locate your file to downgrade.
-
OK. it worked just fine for me and i had 1.1.5.. i only had it for 20 min and i already downgraded.i like 1.1.4 cuz its better
-
Is there a way how i can make a copy of my Itunes library b4 i downgrade it back to 7.5??
-
thank you Lone Stag for this video I didnt use it for 2.0 firmware I actually had to downgrade from firmware 1.1.5 because it had so many bugs when i jailbroke it and too many problems would occur so i just follwed the step by step vid. and got back my 1.1.4
And cant you enter DFU mode using the Ziphone program just a question because i read the comments and some people are having trouble with it?
-
Hey,
To those who are having problems with errors popping up when they are restoring with the 1.1.4 firmware, Re-download it. I had heaps of trouble when I was a n00b because I kept downloading corrupt firmware (or the firmware was getting corrupted while downloading from apple). The best way is to find a (Trusted) torrent (if you don’t know what this is google it) as it seems to manage downloads a bit more accurately.
Also an easy way to enter DFU mode it as follows.
1. Open ITunes
2. Plug the USB end of your ipod cable in to the Computer.
3. Turn off your Ipod completely (hold home and sleep button for a few seconds and the slide to power down).
4. Hold the home button (Round one, on the touch) down and plug the cable in to the ipod.
5. keep holding the home button
6. The ipod will boot in to DFU mode. ITunes will say there is an ipod in recovery mode. -
what if u cant afford a computer
-
I have been trying to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.1.4 on my ipot all day. I have went back and forth from itunes 7.5 to 7.7. I have successfully put my ipot into DFU mode (not recovery mode) and I still keep getting errors in itunes that range from errors: (20), (1600), (1601)…
The latest problem I am having is with itunes 7.5 installed, I plug in my ipot and it gives me the “cannot use ipot because I need 7.7) I cancel that out and then attempt to put my ipot into DFU. I’ll power down and then hold both buttons for ten seconds. I release the sleep button while holding the home button and a few seconds later I hear the windows signal for a usb device being connected. Actually, it’s not the normal sound I hear (ba dah) , it’s in the same tone as that but it kind of skips and soiunds more like (da da da) my screen is black, as if it were in DFU mode but it never shows up in itunes for me to click ‘restore’… I am about ready to give up.. any help would be appreciated. I have exhausted all instructions that I have read so far.
thanks
-
yeah dude i got that error on trying to go back to 1.1.4 and im trying to click the ziphone link and its not coming up. Is all of the ziphone site down or what?
thanks
-
what is unknown error ocurred (1015)
sent from: fav.or.it [FID732175]
-
This works however, after I run ZiPhone again my phone will not show any cellular service. I can use all aps on the phone with WiFi but I have no bars and no carrier name in the upper left corner. If I go into settings the option to set up the Edge connection is not there. Any ideas? My SIM works perfectly in my Zinc II.
-
Ok, I got this working. I downgraded the baseband and all is well.
-
I’ve just downgraded to 1.1.4, which worked fine. But when I went to add the sites for the January apps it came up with a ‘can’t refresh’ error. I’ve double checked the addresses and the are correct. Any thoughts?
-
thxs soooo much iv been bustin my ass tryin to fix using everthing on the internet i could find but this is the only one that works.
-
Man, this is the only method i could get to work. I am so glad i found this, I hated 2.0 and i missed installer summerboard, customize, and islisk. Ty ty ty.
-
If you are getting error(5) like I did, you are probably using iphone firmware 1.1.4 to downgrade your ipod.
download iPod firmware 1.1.4 -
@AG
what is the source you are trying to get Jan Apps from in Installer. Think the one i got them from was ipodtouched.net/repo.xml
On a side note I am pleased to read that some people can seem to follow these guidelines to the point!
@LONESTAG.. You could do with updating the site with a guide to 2.0 jailbreak… i’m sure you are on the case, but yeah
-
Tried both http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml and http://repo.applerepo.com, as instructed in the April 1 post, but neither appear to be recognized (this time): they listed are under “Uncatagorized” as an “Untitled Source”. Perhaps I should start from the beginning again – reinstall the firmware, jailbreak, etc?
-
I tried both sites listed in the April 1 post, however, neither of them ‘refreshed’ and are listed as an ‘Untitled Source’ under ‘Uncatagorized’. Perhaps I should restart the process from scratch – reinstall firmware, jailbreak, etc?
-
Apologies for double post.
-
ahhh… if it say uncategorised then the source wasn’t correct. perhaps try entering it like http://ipodtouched.net/repo.xml…if its accepted it the title will definitely show up ‘Ipodtouched.net’
Alternatively, have you tried the iSpazio source? try this spaziocellulare.com/ispazio.xml or if that doesnt work put http:// before it. try the former first though
If you want to add all sources add this source http://ride4.org/shai.xml and then go to ‘Sources’ under ‘Install’ and install ‘All Sources’. Note though that this does duplicate some sources, so when you say for instance click on ‘All packages’ some apps/games will come up 3 times lol. My touch is like that at the minute, just cant be arsed to trawl through and delete the sources
-
Ahh, if it’s coming up with Uncatargorised then it means the source wasnt accepted. Try putting http:// before the rest…
Alternatively if that still doesnt work try adding this source… spaziocellulare.con/ispazio.xml
For all sources add http://ride4.org/shai.xml
-

I cant post anything!!!
-
OMG! Soz…got a bit carried away with ‘why isn’t it posting my comment!?!?!’ and it looks like i should’ve just waited a minute. lol. Patience is a virtue
-
Okay, so I’ve reinstalled the firmware and jailbreak, but noticed that when I went to install BSD Subsystem that it was not available as an install option. After checking the ‘Uninstall’ tab I could see that it had been automatically installed. An attempt to reinstall by hitting the ‘reinstall’ button failed. Could this be the reason why the repo sites are not being recognized?
-
I have the same error as GIL: when i start to restore to 1.1.4 a message pops up saying an unknown error has occured (5).
now my iphone its in a cycle (it turns on and off) it only shows an image saying Connect to iTunes…. can someone help me? Ziphone doesn’t detect the phone to put it into Normal or DFU again… -
theres multiple itunes library.itl files but i cant delete all of em how do I?
-
Help for those with Unknown Error (20)
I just spent a long time working with my iTouch trying to get it to downgrade. I have had quite a bit of experience jailbreaking and such, so i was getting frustrated that this wasn’t working for me. What i finally realized was the problem was that i was not actually in DFU mode, i was in face in recovery mode. Make sure to follow the timing that he does in the video exactly (the video helps a lot). If you have done it right, nothing will appear on the screen of the iPod. If you see the itunes logo with the usb cord that means you are in RECOVERY MODE not DFU mode, so you’ll need to restart and try again. Hope this helps those having trouble. -
Thank you so much! i thought i’d be stuck in 2.0!!!
-
@MechanicalMind: Not sure what’s going on with the forum delay, but didn’t get your last until after I reinstalled everything. Anyway, I tried the sites suggested with mixed results (and yes, http:// was used in all cases). First off, ipodtouchedrepo was recognized as a source, but unfortunately I’ve not had any success in downloading any of the packages. Shai was also recognized as a source. However, I can’t see any applications of use (such as mail, maps etc). Perhaps I’m missing something. Spazio was not recognized as a source (using both .con and .com!) so no luck there.
Edit: After the fourth attempt to install the apps from ipodtouchedrepo, I had success! So now I’m a happy camper.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi all,
I did an accidental upgrade to v2.0 so I’m trying to get back to 1.1.4 and an unlocked phone.
I can get the phone into DFU mode ok but every time i try and recover it I get error 1 or 5, any clues? -
Forgot to say I’ve also tried getting phone back to normal mode with Ziphone but Ziphone just detects it in DFU mode and does nothing with it.
Also tried Ibrickr but that doesn’t even detect it’s there, I’m quickly

Hey man thanks! I bought the upgrade to 2.0 and I miss my summerboard and the installer! Your instructions were great – i had to download your 1.1.4 though as the one i found elsewhere was slightly smaller and didn’t work.

If you are using Vista and you are having any kind of problems restoring your touch of iphone. Try using XP instead of Vista. I seems that Itunes really dislikes Vista.

thank u very much in advance. -
I agree with Kristian # 75, itunes hates Vista, I have tried doing this about 50 times to no luck. I’m formating in the morning and going with my old XP. I think Vista SUCKS!
-
I had big time troubles with this method. I tried everything I read and could think of until I told myself this piece of shit wasn’t going to beat me. So what I ended up doing was first I downloaded the firmware from this link, then I ran Itunes as an administrator. When the ipod was verifying the restore, I unplugged the cable. Of course Itunes gave an error, then I plugged it back in. Then I started the restore over again without turning off my ipod touch. Vista then installed the driver as itunes was restoring it. It finally worked.
-
Guess What! You won’t believe it but I restored my Ipod Touch from 2.0 to 1.1.3 using Itunes 7.7.1! All you have to do is put the Ipod into DFU mode, plug it into the computer, start itunes, hold shift + restore and wham. It was that easy. Ain’t I Neat!

Ok, so I don’t know what to do now. I have restored my ipod touch, downloaded itunes 7.5 and downloaded 1.1.4 firmware. i tried the shift restore thing but an error comes up. So i go to ZiPhone like it says to do if an error occurs, and click on the normal mode, but it doesn’t do anything. The green bar on the bottom just keeps going across the screen. It seems like it will do this forever. Anyone know why the shift restore thing isn’t working and whats wrong with ZiPhone?

when I’m click restore (while holding down shift) there is no 1.1.4
why is that because i did click on the 1.1.4 firmware link and downloaded it but it isn’t in i tunes????????
