Hold Shift and click restore then select 3.0 software file to downgrade. Pretty much the same as upgrade.
I using the firmwave 3.1 ( now ! ) but i can’t jailbreak that firmwave 3.1 i want rollback to the firmwave 3.0 ! Who can help me !
Whenever I try to upgrade, I get a message saying “The IPod could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible.” Why is this?
ellow! i have d same problem on how to upgrade with “cooper” coz if i hint d restore butt’n it keep say’n that “D firmware is not compatible” .. somebody can help me please !
WOW shift+restore is only for PC. I was not aware that a site devoted to the ipod would not be written with macs in mind.
Long story short— I just wiped my itouch instead of updating it.
thanks for nothin’
Woah! I’m surprised how smooth that went! Great guide and thanks a bundle for posting it, ^^ I’ll recommend it to a friend of mine who’s having the same problem
