kitty Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Followed all the steps you listed exactly and I got the exact same issue that I did on Windows 7: unable to recognize ipsw file. I also never upgraded past 2.2.1 because it costs $10 to buy the 3.0 firmware, so screw that. Have any insights? Quote
Siamey Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 shit, hmmmm ok I guess try it on xp; ive never had your specific error but when i did have windows 7 errors i went over to an xp comp and did the exact same thing and it worked. alternatively, try restoring back to 2.2 and do the same deal, windows 7 first, xp if 7 is a no go. all else fails, spring for os3, a lot of the good jailbreak programs have been certified to work with 3 now so its less of a risk. keep me up to date!

kitty Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 No luck at all when I restored back to 2.2. Attempts on both OS's failed. Not sure if I want to upgrade to 3.0 yet. Quote
Siamey Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 jeeeeez. the only other thing i could say is try on xp instead of 7. or at least vista if no xp is available. sorry I can't figure this one out dude Quote
kitty Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Well I've been using XP as well as 7. I'm starting to think that there's something with my hardware that might be effing this up. Gonna try on a different computer entirely when I get the time. Quote
Siamey Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 yea dude that sounds good, eliminate all the variables Quote
kitty Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Well tried another Win7 computer. Same thing. For now I've decided to just reorganize my ipod until my friend moves in with his XP comp. But another problem came up. All my third party apps crash to the main screen when I try to load them. I think it has to do with licensing issues because all the default apps work. I've had this issue before and it came up and went away at an annoying rate but then it stopped all of a sudden. Things I've tried with no luck: deleting and redownloading apps, downloading another app from the appstore, rebooting the ipod, restoring to factory settings and restoring from a backup Quote
Siamey Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 dude that happened to me too last month, probly some unstable jailbreak shit i was installing messed it up. the only thing that fixed it was restoring and rejailbreaking :/ sorry Quote
