Upgrading jailbroken 1.1.4 to 2.0

[AGold]

not always, I have found in the past upgrading can leave things behind, restore is the one that wipes everything off. If update wiped everything you wouldn't have music after updating

Updating has been known to leave stuff like apps and files from those apps on the phone, but since they're not supported, they become "invisible" on the springboard, you can however see the files browsing your phone trhough ssh.

Restoring on the other side, does wipe out everything, so that's the reason its more recommended.

It's also helpful when certain apps change permissions or move system files, restoring ensures, no weirdness will happen afterwards.

Thanks!!

Have you updated to 2.0? How did it go through?

Have you updated to 2.0? How did it go through?

I haven't done it yet... still trying to decide. I'm still loving my jailbroken 1.1.4, but some of the new apps look appealing.

Is anyone out there happy about the upgrade (or regretting it)?

Please Help

I upgraded my jailbroken 1.1.4 ipod to 2.0 and now ipod is stuck in DFU mode. I try to restore but part way through restore it comes up with 'unkown error 6' . I am running windows on my computer

ok firstly hook the iPod up to pc, if the touch is on with the itunes logo on screen hold the home and sleep buttons till it turns off.

with the device off and plugged into pc do as follows, hold home and sleep buttons together for 10 seconds, at 10 let go of the sleep button (top one) and keep holding the home button for another 10 - 20 seconds.

If done right iTunes should popup saying it's detected an ipod in recovery mode all you need to do now is restore

PLEASE NOTE: the ipod screen will look as if the device is turned off this is normal

i have tried that many times, it is detected in itunes but it does not let me restore my ipod, it stops about a quarter of the way through and says error 6
i dont know what to do

ok try this:

download iTunes 7.5

before doing this with itunes open click file --> export library and save the xml somewhere you will know (this is handy for later)

go to control panel, go to add/remove programs, remove:

Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
itunes

EDIT: also remember to delete the iTunes folder in the music folder. (if you have purchased music in here then just move the folder somewhere before deleting)

open windows explorer and go to:

windows xp: my documents\my music

Vista: <username>\music

reboot your pc, install 7.5 restore to 1.1.4 and then reinstall 7.7 and try again. bonus of being on 1.1.4 is that you can use ziphone or iliberty to bung the touch into dfu mode for you

to get your music back import the xml file you created earlier

i tried that before i posted on this forum. I installed 7.5 and tried to restore ipod firmware 1.1.4 but straight away it said error 1403

Hell, upgrading to 2.0 is so much easier than that.

Simply upgrade. You don't have to restore or delete anything - it automatically clears everything.

Cakewalk.

Jailbroke mine with Iliberty+ (bootloaders and basebands are I GUESS changed due to fakeblanks) so still the same method works? itunes restore?
