Thanks for the link!

Btw can we jailbreak this firmware yet?

No, you cannot jailbreak iPod Touch 2.1 firmware yet. I will make a post once you can though.

i have a firmware 1.1.5 ..can i update my ipod touch with this link...and will it void my apple warranty of 1 year?? plzz help

after i download it, do i have to directly open it? what do i do next? sorry, im just a newbie.. please help..

what to do if you have downloaded it already

@vineet: No, it won't void your warranty if you download it only if you jailbreak it then it will void your warranty.

@Anonymous & Kenneth love ipod touch: After downloading it you need to launch iTunes, shift-click the "Restore" button, and select the iPod Touch 2.1 firmware file. Then your iPod Touch will be updated.

To everyone else: Please click the Buzz Up link on Yahoo and vote this story up. Thanks!

everytime i select the link an error appears

Error for me too. What to do??

The link in the Description does not work, neither does the link provided in previous posts. If you could please update links for community. Thank You!!!

The link has been updated!

i have uploaded the zip its on my desk top , when i shift click the restore button my desk top doesnt even give me the option to choose the firmware file ....any suggestios ?

yea i have the same problem, when i click on the link i dont get the firmware i get a zip file with all of the parts inside and im not sure how to compress it into the .ipsw file

those who update their itouch from 1.5 to 2.1 successfully.what version of itune are you using?> i have problem using 7.6 and 7.5.

i also have problem using itune 8 error code 1604

itunes keeps popping up with a notice saying that i cannot update the software because we aren't connected to the internet, even though we actually are!!!

has this happened to anyone else???
HELP!?!!?!?

poo

On a Mac, hold down the "option" button and click on the Restore button in iTunes. Then select the .ipsw file. It should start configuring to 2.1. Then follow the steps to restoring your files by syncing with iTunes.

I cant find the .ipsw file.

any working links for this? i found a 2.0 on fourms and torrents but this is the only 2.1 i can find and download links are not working!

Hi there,

I tried using this software, however when I updated it, an unknown error occured (5), and then my iPod was disconnected from iTunes and I can't do anything with it.

Is this meant to happen? Or did I do something wrong?

Please help ^O^!!

Thx ^^

When I tried updating the software, it just comes up with an error and puts my iTouch into restore mode. What should I do? thx.

Thanks you. I'm Korean..kk
Nice to meet you - 3-

It doesnt work for me ... (i have itunes 8 on macbook)

so i try holding shift and click the restore button ... it just resets my ipod touch to 1.1.5 again ...
when i shift-clicked the restore button the only thing it asked was a confirmation ... can anyone help me ?

i tried to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 ..
error 5 appears... can anybody help me????

I've got unknown error (1403). I'm using macbook, itunes 8.0.

Do i need to use itunes 7.7 for this to work? or can this work with itunes 8.0?

you can now jailbreak ur ipod touch/iphone go to
blog.iphone-dev.org download the applepwn!You'll haave a jailbroken still waitin' for mobileinstallation 2.1.1!!!!Hopes Up!At least we can put cydia and installer now on my new ipod touch!happy jailbreaking!!!!

For anyone finding just a folder and various files inside instead of the needed .IPSW file, you have to use FIREFOX instead of SAFARI as safari auto unzips the file and you dont want that to happen.

I'm on a pc using itunes 8 trying to update my itouch 1.1.5 to 2.1. I downloaded the file, went on itunes, shift update, and chose the file. It extracted but keeps freezing on the Updating bar. What exactly do you have to do? Shift restore leads to an error 5.

2.1 quickpwn is out

PLEASE FREE UPDATE.....BROTHER61@AZET.sk

yeah I lost everything on my pod and for some reason still trying to be cheap instead of just paying ten bucks. now what

hi will this work if i have 1.1.2 firmware currently and wat itunes do i need

hi i just dl the file and unzip it. and i cant find the ipsw file?? need help, using itunes 8 and itouch 1.1.5

hi
i facing a error(5) after extracting the file and have to unplug my itouch
anything i can do to solve it ?

what is this.after extraction of software it says,error(5).plz check this immediately

this doesn't work anymore.
i did this twice and it keeps saying
software error (5) cannot upgrade to new software.

for those ppl getting the error code ........... install 2.0 using the shift restore method then just go to normal update and it doesn't prompt you to pay ..... it downloads the 2.1 software and it works no problem i was getting the same error code a minute ago too heres a link to 2.0

i`m from brazil

thanks for the post

bye

downloading now, hope it works with quickpwn

Hi, I entered the link http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ .
After I downloaded the file, I opened it and there are 3 .dmg files. When I click the first one a password is required.
Does anyone know the password??

Thank you for bullshit "freeappleipodtouch".
Do NOT Dl this, file.
Fake.
Don't work with iTunes: 7.0 - 8.0.
Go to address -->

http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

If u have iPod 2.0 choose iPod 2.0, but if u have older edit, select iPod 1.1 :)

And u how uploaded this shit: gj -.-'

http://www.jillsclickcorner.com/members/register.php?ref=foof

What must we do after d-load the 2.1

PLEASE HELP....

I found it... after downloading 2.1 you just have to go to itune in the i-touch section and in order to upgrade it you must press CTRL and SHIFT at the same time and then clic on the upgrade icon... once that done you have to select the 2.1 firmware file and open it... ;)

Finally got it to work!
For those still have trouble, dl 2.1 (F137) from
http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Open itunes, while holding down the shift key, press restore, select the file and wait!

(I updated from 1.15 to 2.1 using windows and iTunes version 7)
Don't unzip or do anything with the file you downloaded. It should work!

Good luck everyone!

I restore the using a ZIP file!
