Everything settled after a hard work of more than 10 hours!
I pretty learned my lesson and I wanna share it you guys and I hope it'll really help.

First if you wanna update to a newer firmware, always have the current or any firmware prepared in your computer
in case of any mishap, there's always an alternate of DFU to recover it back.

As some of it was the fault of iTunes, I used my friends laptop to restore it back.
Normal restore ain't working but DFU in his computer worked like a charm.
It was a really frustrating day but it relieved me a lot when I settled it.

Few hours of Googling and few hours of attempt really fruit out the work.
Now it took time to synchronize it back but nevertheless I'm glad that my iPod is working now.

Also do some research before update your iPod to the latest firmware, who knows the latest wouldn't be as stable as the current one?

Well, that's not entirely accurate. When you exit to Home, BeejiveIM is no longer running. Just that they store your account in their server as logged in for up to 24 hours, and stores any incoming message. I suppose he's asking for truly running-in-the-background, where you can still get sound notifications of incoming messages

cydia?? jailbreaked?
how is i using 2G? any application can change the theme?

fuhhhh.. berpeluh siot. haha. dekat 10 kali buat.

finally got it. manually using cmd. lol. makes me more understand what it uploads.

jb. yeah

i mean like will give u alert when u got msg coming in..

Don't know 'bout JB, but for normal, you can set it to e-mail you (the account that you use in the Mail) then rely on the fetch/push system to get notified. And if Malaysia telcos support e-mail-to-SMS, can get an SMS alert too. That's all I know

Quite true...no matter what u're doing, always read and read 1st before attempting anything

Actually. What is the advantage of jailbreaking a touch?

bluey, got your touch yt??

I've just sent my iPod to factory . When I plug in the Griffin mic adapter, it doesn't work. Their display unit work.

cydia is sth like '3rd party' Appstore.

in short, JB is breaking the system security and user can access the system without any restriction.

apart of bring 'ahem' app to your touch, you can fully customize your touch interface and almost everything. There's no restriction when you JB. And you can messing around with the system.

Sigh, another problem arise.
After those DFU and hard reset stuff, I realize that my notes has been completely delete.
All my stuff I written it there gone just like that...

Guess this is what I paid to learn my lesson, sigh again.

Anyone know how to backup those file?

ermm...write those into your computer instead??

If it's convenient for me to do so, I would.
Sigh, I even lost my saved pictures and my saved data.
What a day...

Then keep a online notes...where u can access them anytime as long as u have internet access

wanna ask smth before i decide to jb my ipod...

- after jb, is there any app that can support flash? (if yes what is the name?)
- can i turn my ipod into something like a pendrive....so i do not nid to sync through itunes everytime?
- my paid app can still be restored after i jb my ipod right?

thx in advance

Pity you. Just right click your ipod touch at itunes there and choose backup. it will backup all your settings and apps. After you restore the firmware, plug in the cable and sync your backup with itunes.
