First of all I would like to ask what it means if my iTouch was on 1.1.2 (3B4Ba) or something. I forget what was exactly in the parenthesis behind the "1.1.2" but it was generally something like that. I have looked on forums and everywhere I could think of as to what this means (I don't know because I bought it used) and some places showed a "jailbroken" Itouch and thats all the picture showed which was the 1.1.2 (3B....). The guy I bought it from said he never messed with firmwares or hacks or anything like that so that is why I am confused as to what it means.
Secondly I downloaded Ziphone (3.0) and attempted to jailbreak the Itouch thinking that it would do no harm if I tried to jailbreak a jailbroken player. Since Ziphone said it would only do Itouches that were on 1.1.4, I proceeded to find the firmware file online and downloaded it. I followed the instructions that appear when you hover the mouse over the "Prepare to Upgrade" and followed those, but thats when I made the seemingly fatal mistake of NOT putting the player in DFU mode before going into Itunes and pressing "shift-restore" and choosing the 1.1.4 firmware file. After I pressed restore with the 1.1.4 file, the player changed into the screen with a picture of the dock connector pointed at the Itunes icon. The computer had a small window pop up with it saying "Preparing ipod for restore" Now I am stuck on that screen with nothing happening. I have tried to use iLiberty+ to kick it out of recovery mode but iLiberty+ just freezes up after I click anything. I read on another forum of a use with a similar problem of being stuck and he just pressed "jailbreak" on Iliberty+ and then itunes worked and everythign worked out, but i followed what he did, and after i pressed "jailbreak" the background of the player changed to blue, but the dock connector pointing to the itunes icon was still there. I have tried everything i could think of but sadly to no avail. After a while the background on the player turned back to black but I am still stuck at the same screen.
Please note I have tried all the different timing things for resetting the player including holding both buttons and stuff.
Sorry for the long post but I figured being descriptive would help.
ANY help, comments, thoughts, would be MUCH appreciated. THANKS
