Sarat's iPod : Upgrade from 1.1.4 to 2.2.1 and JailBreak

Written By Akki On Wednesday, March 11, 2009

This was seems less tedious task, as it is

I thought putting just few hours will be enough (Frankly speaking)
But it does not seem like that ..
Competibility issues of FW(FirmWare), with the tools
Now, I have alomost every tools available for Mac and Windows, on my Mac and PC desktop.
right now 5 to 6 restore IPSWs
:)
I have used latest version of Pwnage tool, QuickPwn(Mac) and QuickPwn(win), date is 11th March 2009.
Now just got QuickPwn 2.0 from my Brother, which is old and should support the FW 1.1.4.
Lets See ....
Sad as i opened the app, it was the same..
now looking over the the net if i see earlier version of QuickPwn :|

Using the WinPwn 2.5 Beta
After an hour or more after writing the above line, nothing happened, absolutely NOTHING...
at last I m feeling that neither any restore nor any tool will, until I m upgrading to FW 2.0, TTF (Thats The F*CK) it is not available.. at least I can say no direct link, no RapidShare link, NO weblink.. I m able to find to find on the torrent only, and in the torrent also it is almost dying stage. I have added 4 diffrent torrents, one is now working good....
SO it shows this file is critical...
finished above para 6:00 AM 12 March 2009..
Waiting for the FW 2.0 to get download ... Lets see That is working or not, if that is not working I will must say that One should give $9.95 to apple and purchase the update...
If I m successfull, I will say your many many hours of work, As I m going to hit 10th hours or working on the same issue...

So guys if you are on 1.1.4 FirmaWare and want to upgrade on 2.x.x or want to come to the series 2.o, you need 2.0 FW ( As it is paid ) hahhaha

4:37 PM 12 March 2009
After having the FW 2.0, I cant update with IPSW 2.2.1, reason is still unknown, but not so long.
The final plan is to have update through iTune.. hehehee...

The myth about the iPod generation cleared completly.. I guess, Now I have all the FirmWare for iPod touch 1G,
Again I restored iPod Touch with FW 2.0..
