  5. IPod Touch 3G doesn’t work:
    Unable to recognize specified IPSW

    Upgraded the IPod Touch to v 3.1.3 which runs fine.

    1. I have the same problem with my ipod touch 3gG

      This solution doesn’t work on IPod Touch 3G

      We have to wait

  6. my iPhone has the 3.1.3 update but I cant find the 3.1.2 I IPSW Im stuck help

  8. i have no idea idea how to to do this i am desperate please someone walk me thru it

  9. step 5 did not work! redsnow said that the file i selected is wrong or something.. hellp me!

  11. guys!!….i’m still tryin out the process mentioned above…but the path that involves pasting the iPhone os 3.1.2 resetore.ipsw to the desktop…..i opened the folder and instead of 3.1.2 there s 3.1.3!!!…..now what do i do?…..plz help me out fellas!!

    1. okay after the stages to put into dfu mode, it says prossesing ipod for like 2 hours..should i restore ipod touch and then try again

  12. If you search “iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw” on internet you can get copies of this file. (in case it’s missing on your pc. ) But the question is if it’s okay to use these copies. I’m not sure, but I believe it should be the same for everyone. Can anyone confirm?

  13. How long does it take to finish once the setup on the computer is done and the screen goes black on the itouch?

  15. did everything like the video said(using ipod touch 2nd gen, non-mc)
    1st- i did it without clicking the “already pwned” button in redsn0w jailbreak setup and everytime i did my ipod wouldn’t reboot.
    2nd- i then clicked on the “already pwned” button in setup and it went through and i clicked finish, but then my ipod wouldnt do anything but stay on a black screen.
    I have no idea what im doing wrong

    1. Alright figured out what i did wrong.
      IPOD TOUCH 2nd GEN.(non-MC) models- to sucessfully jailbreak,follow all the instructions above except for these things
      -FirstMake sure you have the IPOD TOUCH 3.1.2 ipws file, not the iphone one that this site provides a download link for otherwise it will not work. You have to find it somewhere else on the internet.
      -Secondly do not click the “already pwned” button when running redsn0w, it will cause it not to work.

      1. Where did you find an ipod touch 3.1.2 ipsw file? i can’t find one anywhere! thanks.

  16. how long is it going to take to come out with a jailbreak for an itouch 3g MC model? please let me know. thanks.

  17. hey… i understand this is jailbreak works… now for the real question… Does this fix the “tethered” problem 3gs users face with the 3rd 4th and 5th serial numbers being higher than 940? I am currently jailbroken via blackrain and the thethered problem is really starting to get on my nerves… is this a fix for that as well as a new os jailbreak? nobody seems to be commenting on this..

  20. After entering DFU mode, it’s now stuck in : Please wait while your device is being processed.

    Waiting for reboot.

    It stays there and does nothing……
