Apple iPod Touch won't restore after JB - Help please

Post by UrBaN »

Hey Guys,

My boss'iPod Touch 3G 32GB had restrictions on, so he couldn't use the internet at all with it.

I Jailbroke it and removed the restrictions, and all was good.

Then I tried to update from iOS 3.1.2 to iOS 4.1 (I downloaded the IPSW file from an Apple link.)

Anyway, it failed midway through the restore, and now is in restore mode permanently. It fails to restore to 3.1.2 and to 4.1.

I tried PWNAGE tool on a Macbook but it says my IPSW files are invalid (they are genuine vanilla Apple files).


Help please?

This is my boss' iPod Touch and I'd like to get it working ASAP.

Silly question but I have no idea on this...

Have you tried to update the iPod through iTunes? My iPod did the same thing and in the end I went to the g/f's PC and used her iTunes install to restore the iPod to the latest OS. The differences in our setups is that her was Vista and mine Windows 7 and in 7 it did not want to install the driver when it went into DFU mode. No idea if it will work for you if you go to another machine...

I've tried on my Laptop (XP SP3) and a MacBook. I'll try another Windows PC I guess.

I am updating through iTunes 10.1, using legitimate Apple IPSW files (iOS 4.1 and 3.1.2)

Then I am fresh out of ideas. :(

Maybe just go to a Apple store and tell them that you tried updating the device and it wont go past this screen. See if they can fix it? They cant tell it was jailbroken from recovery.

Ya, unless someone here posts a bright idea, I think that's what I'll do.

Eish :(
