hey bryan, how do we change it from zip file to .ipsw file? every firmware i have downloaded came in winzip files...

where you download from? Its extension should be .ipsw

some website i found from google search. if that's the case, then guess i'll have to download it again.. is there no way we can change it to .ipsw?

if the .ipsw is in the zip file, extract it.

extract to a new folder? i'm noob at this sorry.

Yay, successfully jailbroken my ipod touch! Thanx bryan

Then i think you better download again from this source... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

I've got a problem with my ipod touch, I think it's because of Cydia.
It keeps on crashing and goes to safe mode. One day at least 2 times.

I think some packages or apps i installed via cydia are not complete, since i always get the "unable to reach host" at the end of the download.

I don't want to reinstall my firmware cause I've got a lot of things that I've got with Cydia and it'll take me ages to get them back. Any solutions?

@gadiylim
uninstall ur cydia app might help if u say so.. and actually u can backup ur cydia app if u want to reinstall ur firmware.. so it would not be a problem.. of hm.. u mean by safe mode is? is that ur ipod turning blank? if its not shutting down (never face ipod shutting down by itself).. maybe u need to restart ur ipod so the ipod can get some fresh air.. :|

yea i downloaded from the link that you provided me but... it's still in zip format, and inside the zip there are many files but none is in .ipsw format. any other suggestions? thanks.

go to any folder, click on Tools>Folder Option>View>untick 'hide extension'.
It is .ipsw

Hai guys,

How would I know that I have successfully jailbroken my iTouch 2G?

If you successfully jailbroken your ipod touch, you will have Cydia icon on your springboard

But without jailbreaking, can Cydia still be installed?

cydia doesnt appear in appstore, so i suppose not..

Cydia is something like appstore, an app to install 3rd party app. So of coz you need to jailbreak to install cydia.
