Hi -
So when I go into General<About on my iPod under Version it says "N/A" instead of 1.1.4. Then if I want to download a program off of installer it says you need firmware 1.1.3/1.1.4, and I can't get the download. Any ideas how to fix it? The installed programs are: Summerboard, Tetromino, Mines, Copter, Apollo, Twinkle, and KLores.

Did you upgrade to 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 before you did the jailbreak? Also what app did you use to do the jailbreak?

It was already 1.1.4 when I jailbroke with ziphone.

the version number is stored in a file on the touch, from the root of the touch (via ssh/ftp) go to system\Library\CoreService\SystemVersion.plist in this file you can change the version number, look for the following in the file:

<string>OS X</string>
<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>1.1.4</string>

well it should say 1.1.4 but since your iPod says n/a it might say n/a where 1.1.4 is or the file is corrupt.

Well looks like that's the problem. The file is missing. Thanks for the help. Can someone share the file or would I be better off restoring it?

Thanks. Hopefully this works or else I'll just restore it.

Update: It worked. Thanks for your help. Still curious to know how it got deleted since I never go in that folder.
