Ok first I apologize if I am repeating something someone else had asked. There's just so much to digest here.

1) Now I have apps in my IT2G unbroken one. So if I finally decide to JB, I make a backup with iTunes, then follow the instructions on first page to JB, then restore my backup onto my IT2G (is the restore done with itunes also?). - This means a JB 2G touch with all my previous apps and savedate+score,etc ?

2) About Cydia. Is the apps from Cydia installed through the touch is by Wifi? Cannot like what's done with iTunes where I download all the apps I want with PC then sync to the touch? Also, is Cydia and installer is different "app" for the touch too?

3) Last. So if I wanna go back, I have to go DFU (the Power+Home 10 sec, then Home few more sec thing), restore my Firmware, restore my apps with backup through Itunes.

I wanted a nicer organizing pane for my apps (all legal) and its main reason I wanna try JB. Hope you guys can clarify before I make my leap. tongue.gif

1) Yes, after jailbreaking your unit, you can always restore your backup which would restore all your settings, savedata etc. Your apps would not be restored. You would have to re-sync them back. Not a problem at all smile.gif

2) Yes, Cydia works pretty much like the app store. It's a little slow, but the content that it provides is really good. You can download stuff like themes and all, and then you can SSH it to your iPod Touch.

3) Yup, if you wish to revert to the original firmware, just select restore when you're in DFU mode.

You can use "Categories" from Cydia to categorize all your applications. smile.gif

I c i c. But Cydia is on the touch or on the PC? Is there a website I can visit?

Ok thanks a million guys! So wifi is a must lah.. Man, it sucks setting up my laptop to share LAN internet to wifi.

I heard installing app tat is for iphone into an ipod touch will crash the ipod, izzit true? So must be careful and read the fine lines then.

Thanks and cheers.

Yup it was successful and gav white screen. I am trying to download the original Firmware again. Does the itunes version make any difference? I mean I have the newest version which was released just few days ago.

Somemore I also tried recover original firmware with itunes using its own server other than use the file I downloaded with Quickfreedom. It say server cannot connect/check your itunes version - but my itunes is newest available.

I then also tried uninstall itunes and getting older version itunes on www.filehippo.com , to recover but also failed.

I also tried uninstall, restart, reinstall, restart - also cannot recover.
I also tried using a new admin user account in my Windows XP SP3 to recover - also failed.

Man, this is so frustrating. I feel very regretful ever trying to JB my touch.

Yes, without pre-jailbreak.

Actually I did everything you have mentioned. I just not work on my comp, running AntiVir and Zonealarm (which I disabled for JB work). I then used a comp at off which was an HP running WinXP SP3 with AVG8. I did all things similar but first I recover ori firmware then proceed try JB again. It works finally!! rclxms.gif

So thank you bryan, but I think you could put up in first page a series of trouble-shooting guide for QuickFreedom JB:
1) If fails more than 3 times, try recover ori firmware
2) If fail to recover custom firmware- try recreate custom firmware;
3) If very sure everything retried and no mistakes was made - try on another comp

Pls advise those to perform JB to have a 2nd comp ready to try. If it won't work on this comp, it won't work no matter what u do. Even ori firmware recovery with itunes.

Thanks again for everyone and cheers!! rclxm9.gif
