  • what do i type in the search thing?

  • How about I send you my ipod and you jailbreak it for me???D": I'm only 13 and Im scared to mess with my computer... Its f'd up already...

  • Hey I need help I have the new iPod touch wit camera how do I jailbreak it

  • wow what a great quality, i cant see a shit

  • If anyone has the error 20 thing, try disconnecting the ipod from your computer, make sure it is off hold home button then reconnect, the apple will appear then the connect to itunes icon will appear. Go to itunes, restore the ipod. If you want to restore to the original. open my computer , click on tools tab>folder Options>View tab>Show hidden files and folders. Go to and hold shift - restore find file C:\Users\your username here\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

  • i cant find the file ' iTunes Libary.itl' !! help plz

  • will this work with 2.2.1? and i have itunes 8.1

  • Will this effect the warranty on my I-pod and will I lose my library

  • How long the downgrade takes ? and what have my iPhone and my iTunes show with this procedure ?

  • damn, dude.... my restoring is more than 20 min ... I can see Apple logo and moving camomile on the iPhone screen .... what I have to do ? can I interrupt this ?

  • it is really work. Error 20 I got before trying this tutorial was because of wrong DFU mode. Thanks , dude !!!

  • hey it says it could not restore due to and unknown error occured (1)

  • yeah same or me and now my ipod is stuck pleas help!!!!! please:(

  • I'm getting error 20. I can't get this to work at all. Everytime I put the phone in DFU, itunes just displays a performance bar and then just dissappears with error 2001 or something. then it takes about 20 minutes to get the phone out of DFU where there is a pic of itunes disc and USB port. The best i've gotten was downloading the 2.0 software on itunes 7.7 but that didnt even work either, I can't ger my phone to work at all. please help

  • If your getting error code 20 ur not in DFU mode. The timing has to be on point. It took me 7 times to get it right, plus the 1.1.4 version I had was bad so I used 1.1.5, I got a 1000 code error, then I tried it again and it worked.

  • Its definetly in DFU mode everytime I do it. other apps I have running tell me that it is in DFU. I might try the 1.1.5 part as you said though. maybe that might help. i've been at this for 2 weeks now. Thanks for the suggestion.

I put in DFU Mode and thats as far as i get. I have iTune 7.5 installed and ready to go but everytime i do the whole hold home and power for 10 secs i get the error on my iTunes, "The Ipod "Ipod" could not be restored. An Unknown Error occurred (1)." What do I do?

  • hey, i have a iTouch 8gig 2.1.1. Im using Ziphone, but its not working. I pres on the button "Jailbreak" and it only get my iPod to the Recovery Mode. HELP ME!!!

  • u cant jail break 2.1.1

  • SOMEONE HELP ME ERROR 1015!!!

  • By the way, after it downgrades you may still recieve an error msg error 1015 in itunes. To fix that, download Ziphone 3.0. Launch ziphone > show advanced features > erase BL 3.9 Baseband. Perform action. After that finishes, click do it all with ziphone and your back on 1.1.4. Its as simple as following instructions

  • F**KING GENIOUS, incredible help for free! Follow this mans steps and you will be able to downgrade. Crucial step: DFU mode! make sure there is nothing on your iphone screen or else it will not work!!!! Just when i was about to go play baseball with my iphone.

  • Your explanation to enter DFU mode was very helpful. With all of the wrong ways to enter DFU mode I've read, you would think everyone's only kidding about knowing how to jailbreak.

  • While im doing the DFU mode itunes says error 1601 cannot restore...Ive retryed a bunch of times wat should i do?

  • Good video. Thanks!!! Works also from 2.1 to 1.1.5

  • thanks so much man!!! i have had a useless iphone for 4 months and u helped me fix it thanks so much!!!!

  • No.

  • Thank ya man, it worked perfectly!!!

  • does this work with 2.0.2???

  • I uninstalled 7.7 restarted and installed 7.5 like you said to do. Then I put in dfu mode correctly and the screen was black. I went to browse for my 1.1.4 restore file, itunes showed that it was preparing for restore, but after it did that for a while, i got an error 1604 message that said "the ipod could not be restored. an unknown error occurred." what did I do wrong?

  • Wow wow wow yeah man!!! you rule!!!!! it worked all the way!!!

  • how do we get pass eorrer 20? please help

  • I got the same error, it was because the ipod wasn't properly in DFU mode, be sure to get it right...

  • good video man helped alot, but on vista if you search for the .itl file and delete it it deletes a different file and doesnt work, you have to manually go to the iTunes folder in my music (on my computer) and delete the libary file.
