iPod touch Another scratched Touch, need help with tiff

[geckokid25]

Hello Mac users. First post, and its somewhat urgent. I recently bought an iPod touch and have been very pleased with it. However, the other day I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed a large scratch in the center of the screen. I am fairly certain it was caused by a burr on my Sennheiser headphone's jack. I'm fairly disappointed in how fast it got a scratch on it from only having it for a month or two. I read a post on this forum dated October/November of last year and saw that the person was able to return the iPod by using a tiff file if I understand correctly. My ipod is running version 2.0.2 software. I successfully downgraded to 2.0 without any trouble. How do I prevent the ipod from syncing using a tiff file? At what software version does the ipod allow a tiff to upload to the ipod and therefore prevent it from syncing? I hope I am understanding all of this correctly. Also, what software version for the ipod touch was out right before the new iphone came out. Hope this will work so I can return it and get a new one, and this time buy some screen protectors.

Is this what you are referring to?

TIFF Exploit

On your iPod touch, navigate in Safari to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com . It will crash your Safari and return you to the home screen, but this is expected; it means the code was executed and you will be able to browse the file system with full read/write access. Once you do this, iTunes will be unable to sync properly with your device until you re-enable it later in the instructions (it will only show 300MB of space in iTunes; this is normal until you correct it later in the instructions).

How about accepting the fact that you yourself scratched it? Don't try to scam someone out of your own mistake.
