Thank u so much. Step three was the one no one got before.
no problem and o yea for a mac you use option
which file from the downloaded folder do you use for step 4? I keep getting error 1403.
I am really confused with this, the only step i dont get is step 4, i saved it, but i dont know which file to use..
Look once u hold shift and and click restore a screen will pop up and tehen u jus go to where ever u the 1.1.1 file at
When i try to dwnld 1.1.1 firmware on my itouch it says safari cant dwnld file is to big……can someone help me out with this??? Thanks.
i’ve given this 2 separate tries now. after i downgrade to firmware 1.1.1 my ipod touch, touch screen doesn’t work. it is virtually a brick in 1.1.1. i have to plug into itunes and upgrade to 1.1.2 for it to be usable again. does anyone else have this problem? (i haven’t read about it anywhere)
truly unfortunate… i would love to jailbreak this thing, but it appears that i can’t.
u aint suppose to download da firmware on ur itouch, u have to download on a computer
how do ug et into recovery mode?
look at the instruction under recovery mode
When i press the package it comes up with itunes and when i press restore my ipod, it just restored the 1.1.2. I think i did step 3 wrong but i dont know what it means. I got mozilla firefox, incase it effects anything, just pls help me!
if i downgrade would this erase all my music and videos and photos off of my itouch ?
yea
So I finally got the downgrade to work. I had been trying the download through Safari and it somehow unzipped or modified the firmware into a folder with several items as content - that all didn’t work when trying to select it as the restore firmware through iTunes. When I used Firefox to download the package it was downloaded as a single ‘package’ and this single file then worked to select when doing steps 3-4. Hopefully this will help some people out there. Does anyone know why, from a technical aspect, downloading the firmware through Safari is different than downloading it through Firefox?
I got the download to work in Firefox as well. It’s named “iPod1,1_1.1.1_3A110a_Restore.ipsw”. I can confirm that if you use Safari on OS X, Safari will move the file to the Downloads folder and unpack it into a folder that’s probably not usable for iTunes recover.
My problem is on step 3. I hold shift while clicking on the first “Restore” button, a new window pops up and simply says I’ll loose all the data and the newest software will be installed. Either I can click “Restore and Update” or “Cancel”. Once again I hold shift, this time while clicking “Restore and Update”. Next screen says I’m downloading 1.1.2. I never get a new window that asks for a file I’ve downloaded.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I got it. Hold OPTION! Maybe shift is the key on PC. I dunno.
But really, everyone should be following the Kent Brewster walkthrough. It’s amazing!

Alright i have an ipod touch. When i first connected it to my PC, it had v1.1.2 I’ve spent alot of time trying to downgrade it. I’ve sent it into restore mode and i followed tai’s instructions. I hold shift and click on restore and then i click on the 1.1.1 firmware restor. It takes forever saying “preparing ipos” and then i get error message 1604. Any help would be appreciated greatly
i meant preparing “ipod”
After I jailbreak my ipod, will I still be able to update it to 1.1.2? or do I have to leave it at 1.1.1?
You’ll be able to update it to 1.1.2 and jailbreak from there if you install OktoPrep first, Alex. Please see other instructions on this site, or The Well-Tempered iTouch for details.

Hey guys if you’re downloading from Safari. Just delete the .zip extension from the file so that it reads iPod1,1_1.1.1_3A110a_Restore.ipsw. The problem is in unzipping the contents of the .zip file.
Just follow the instructions as posted afetr doing this and the firmware will install just fine.

tai how do i find your fatal error instuctions
I found a way to downgrade without loosing anything and I mean anything. I downloaded the 1.1.1 firmware like was told from this forum and instead of clicking shift and restore I pressed shift and update and it allowed me browse to the file. and i clicked it and it downgraded the firmware to 1.1.1. Altough I did this with the interent switched off it worked like magic and I did not even after to put my ipod touch in restore mode. It automatically did everything for me and downgraded. Itunes started screaming that I should update when it finished and restarted.
Wow! I am happy.
Dejinco
does it get rid of your music and stuff
Thanks!!! The iPod Touch downgrade worked flawlessly!!!
just save the file to your desktop
hey i downloaded t acouple of times and it doesnt look like that square box it either says zip or folder and i have a mac book
ok so, i tried getting the 1.1.1 file alot of times and it worked for the downloadingg and then i try to restore and it says error (:18) why is that? it worked for my brother same computer. same typpe of ipod. wat do i do? PLZZZZ help
how do i put it in recovery mode?
fuck you
this shit sucks so fucking bad
Anyone having the trouble of the 1.1.1 firmware through Safari. If you move the .zip file out of the trash and trash the folder that Safari tried to decompress. Then when you hold down option (on a mac) and you select the .zip file in iTunes, iTunes decompresses it for you and begins the install.
However, when I did that and ran the installer, I get an error and iTunes can’t connect it.
Oh, and now my touch is stuck in recovery mode. Anyone know how to tackle that one?
it like doesnt work ……does it make a difrence dat i got vista?
if i jail break my itouch will it erase all of my songs or not cuzi have more than one thousand songs and dont wana lose them
thanks guys for ya help!!!!!
when i do restore my itouch will it delete all of the songs from my computer library?
what’s recovery mode?
someone please i cant get my itouch into recovery mode
i tried and succeded. you dont need to put in restore mode you can just shift and click restore and it doesnt delete your music either
i mean click update then find the file and its all good
I first downloaded the file and it didnt work, there was more than one file in the download and it didnt work with any of them. So i tried to download it again and now as soon the download gets to 70.1 megs, it says “Cannot write file!” I dont know what to do and i cant find anywhere else to download the firmware. Help needed if anyone knows where to download the file.

It realy isnt hard to follow, very simple steps. If you can’t manage it, and can’t be bothered to read anything else and just expect to get spoonfed, then you shouldnt be doing this anyway.
and for the love of god why do you people insist on abriviating every word in the english language, and talking like yo is ganster innit.
