I have an easy way to get it for free through itunes so you get the “official” software and not just parts of mirrors all over the place. THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOURE TOUCH IS JAILBROKEN. Okay so download fwchanger through installer and open the app change the firmware to 2.0 and connect it to iTunes, which will think its 2.0 so then do an update and it will say it is current. After that unplug the ipod and change the firmware back to 1.1.4 and turn off and on you’re ipod (to reset it back) and connect to iTunes again, and there will be a box that asks if you want to cancel, download and install, or just download and when you click downlaod they do not charge you. If it doesn’t work keep trying. Btw I’m on windows xp and iTunes 7.7
Ohh… I got it, finally! Just hold the Shift Key and hit Restore button in iTunes. That’s COOL buddy …
Thank you soo much Zack, tried it and it works perfectly! saved me 10 bucks since the mirrors here want me to download 220 mb at 5kbs. ^-^
hi,
if shift + click doesn’t work for you try “shift+alt+click”
if you have an error make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
first thing first
do you download it and then press ’shift’ and click ‘check for upgrade’ or ‘update’
the rest is automatic
It is not recognize by my pc, i was able to download it
but evrytime i go to itunes and pres shift plus restore
it is not showing in the file list, it was looking for
certain program.

Does this really work? I have been reading an i figured out that some ppl get it and the others are screwed, so I just want to know what does it really do when u install this program. And if ur trying to screw a bunch of ppl over by getting others to install this to mess up their iPods. Why are u doing this. were suppose to help each other out get shit free, and not pay for it. unless ur someone who works with apple. by doing that working for apple u are violating a federal law against shareware. shareware cant be of fraud.
Step 3 - hold shift and click restore does not work on macs (not sure about pc’s).
Instead you need to hold the alt key and click restore and it works fine.
