I'm having the same problem...and everyone is saying to reset your ipod and then restore and then try everything again...but iTunes won't restore my ipod...I get an error message "The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error message occurred (-18).
 
success!

My xp system completely refused to run touchfree.exe. I gave up and used the instructions here:

http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/Windows_jailbreak

The touchfree zip file is a great resource because it has everything you need except for perhaps a hex editor. The itunes 1.1.1 file structure can be found on {site reference removed by moderator}

The whole thing took about an hour, but wasn't very hard.

For all of you that are getting errors when trying to restore:

"So if you bricked it (like me) with the tiff, here's how you force a restore. Hold the sleep and home button until your ipod turns off. Keep holding them until the apple logo appears, then release the sleep button, but keep holding the home button. This will force a restore in itunes, your ipod will then completely restore."
 
Didn't work for me...


I have followed the instructions down to a T.

Running XP 2000
Moves iTunesmobiledevice.dll to same folder as touchfree.exe
Restored my iPod
Yes, I have .NET Framwork 2.0 installed
Yes, I visited http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com on my ipod and safari did crash.
Ran touchfree.exe and I got up to 'patching ipod flash image' and then got a error mesage and the program crashed

Just restored my iPod...

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea! I've been trying to get this thing to work for the past 2 hours and you've provided a method of restoring the ipod in less than 30 seconds. THANK YOU!
 
I tried downloading the link for touchfree, but it's not working. Anybody have a mirror?
 
Thank you SO MUCH, this worked 100%! I now have full Calendar, Weather, working Mail, Maps, and Installer!

You guys ROCK!
 
I just wanted to give a quick shout of thanks to ksd for pointing me in the right direction. Everything is working fantastic. And it took less than 1/2 hour to do.

Thank you to everyone else for all the support.

This is a great resource (forums I mean) and I appreciate all the tips so far.

Bennet, did you get it working? Ensure the sync cable is properly seated and the USB port is 2.0 and iTunes is NOT open.

Sure thing. Glad I could help.
 
please, i need help with a 16 GB itouch (italian).
I went to the jailbreak site, so safari crashed and it comed back to springboard. then I killed all the iTunes tasks by task manager, so I started touchfree.exe. but somthing hasen't worked, so my rdisk0s1 file was of 0 bit; then apply freezed. so i colosed it. I tried again, but I got just a 96 MB file; then aplly freezed and I colosed it. I tried hex-editing the file looking for "noexec", but i didn't find it.
Notes:
iTouch still works, that's good!
I didn't restored my iTouch before doing that.
in info screen ipod says that he has 300MB of total space and about 59 MB of free space. is it right?
please help me!
EDIT
I just restored iTouch, but I have some trouble, again.
so, ianything was ok, but after i rebooted my itouch for 1st time, troubles started. it says " can complete modification to a file". i tured of ipod by holding the standby boutton, then I slided; so ipod turned off. then I keept pressed the stand-by boutton; when the system started, i typed enter on my keyboard. and it gave me that error! please help, I can't mind why anything is going so badly
 
I can't get any of the programs I put on the ipod from the computer to work (maps, notes, weather...)
 
I was running the touchfree program and I was on stage 2 when I accidentally closed it out. Now when I try to run the touchfree program again I keep getting stuck on the "Patching iPod flash image" step of stage one. Any help with this one? I know it says to type 'touchfree.exe two' in the command line to resume from stage 2, but I don't know what the command line is or where I can find it. I would appreciate any help :D
 
just asking, but what is the point of hacking into the ipod touch..if i do hack into mine...what am i going to get out of it?
