How to Update iPod Touch to 3.0 Firmware For Free

Hello! I for one stayed home today to get the new OS3 for my iPod Touch. Tell me, though. Will my data be overwritten by the OS upgrade?

It looks like it is available for download. Any word on a link?

do u expect really from Mac to put online ispw??

ITS OUT POST THE LINK PLZZZ

hey the 3.0 is out for ipod touch 2G and iphone

and for the ipod touch 1G ??

I was wondering if i will still be able to acess the itunes store and download stuff onto my ipod or will it know that i didnt purchase it and not give me future updates?

Thanks alot for this, I just saved 10 bucks…lol

hey please can someone tell me if this is the GM or the Original Final From today ?

The real release? or is it the GM??!
god, it’s been asked like 3 times now, nobody has answered

The firmware i downloaded was a .zip file
It wont show up when i do the shit+restore
What am i supposed to do?
PLEASE HELP

theres an easier way. put ur ipod into dfu and the click restore. do wat it says and it will download for free.

Hey SANDIP can you tell us if this is the GM or the Final From today Apple update

Confirm it works on a touch 2g, no issues

Hi guys it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the files wont come up for 2nd gen ipod its just a zip folder

Hey TONY use Mozilla Firefox to get the right file

This is awesome. I owe you $10. (But not really, because then I could’ve just downloaded it with Itunes, you understand right. Stuff on the internet is free right?) No but really, thanks a lot.

@Everyone To download this, try Right-click -> Save Link as (or Save Target As, or whatever your browser’s equivalent is). I don’t think browsers know how to handle the .ipsw extension. It downloaded this 258MB file fine for me.

Really ? are you THAT dumb that you cannot think that maybe… you shold unzip the file?

I’ve had too errors when trying to do this using a touch G1.

1. It does wipe your device.
2. DFU mode and selecting update pulls down 2.2.1 unless you paid for the update already.
3. Anyone else have errors when trying to upgrade to 3.0 on a gen 1 touch?

Thanks for this, its worked on my 1G and my daughters 2G. Sod apple and their rip-off regarding touch owners. As for mbile phones, Android rules !!!!!!!

If you just get a file named “iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw.zip” all you have to do is take the “.zip” off the filename, then *poof* it’s an Apple Device Software Update file.

Cheers.

HAS IT WORKED ON THE 1 G YET?

I can’t get it to work!
The firmware i downloaded was a .zip file
It wont show up when i do the shit+restore
What should I do?

thx a looooot im from bolivia and we cant get the upgrade even if we want to pay so again thx a lot but this is a beta or the june 17th final release???

to confirm, this worked on my 2G ipod touch no issues

I NEED HELP!!!!!!

When I hold shift + restore, the file selector shows up. HOWEVER, when I select the folder, it just opens it up further, so I can’t select the whole file! I can’t select it at all in the end!! HOW DID YOU GUYS GET IT TO WORK?!?! TELL ME HOW PLEASE!! HOW DID YOU SELECT THE FILE?

Great job !!

Works like charm !

Rename the .zip to .ipsw if you can’t find it, it’s the iPod update file iTunes searches for.

oh. i got more informations. the official firmware released by Apple yesterday it’s build 7A341 and it works!!! You guys should change the file name iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.zip -> iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipws

if you want to change the file extension. change folder options.

I think this is GM final beta. Take a look at this torrent “Pod-touch-2nd-generation-os-3-0-firmware-GOLD-MASTER-final-beta-GM-7a341-ACTIVATION”

The torrent’s page says it’s V3.0 7A341 which is also present on the .ipsw filenames download links above.

Anyone can confirm this?

So far so good the link to the .ipsw worked for the upgrade.
ran the restore from last backup apps did not come back. However, setings do show 3.0 os
re synced apps and music came back.

I’m using windows and when i finished downloading it i get a zip folder. What do i with the contents? Theres no .ipsw file.

Hey guys, for those having trouble finding the file.. If your using a Mac don’t press Shift + Restore, it’s Option + Restore.

iTunes just won’t open my “.ipsw” file, anyone knows why?

I tried to buy it but it didnt work, so i went into this blog and downloadede the link. yay!!!!!

————-
Ipod touch 3.0
Mac book

This does not work. It’s telling me that it is not compatible.

If the features all this site(http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/06/how_to_use_best_40_features_of_iphone_3.html) described are packed with ipod touch OS 3.0 then ,it ain’t that bad , I strongly recommends to try it after all I read the review of 3.0 software update

Ok guys. I did 2nd Gen to 3.0 and I did it without losing any of my ipod files. I can only say this works for 2ND GEN ITOUCH TO 3.0 FINAL RELEASE. Here is what I did:
1. Download the 2nd gen 3.0 ispw file.
2. load up itunes.
3. plug in your itouch.
4. it will show up in your itunes. now on the main screen for it, there will be 2 options: “check for update” and “restore”
5. click on “check for update”. it will take you to the page where it says the features and says “buy for 9.99” or “cancel”.
6. press the cancel button.
7. now it will return to the main page you were at, except this time it will say “update” instead of “check for update”
8. hold your shift key and left click “update”
9. double click the 3.0 file you downloaded.
10. let it run its course like normal.

wallah, you won’t have lost any files cuz it will treat it as an update and not a restore, and you will have a functioning 3.0 update. good luck folks.

Hi Guys, I already downloaded the file, but im worrying after clicking shift+restore, what will happen to my ipod content i.e music, videos, and pictures? Guys need your help to those who tried it. Thanks

Downloaded, installed, works, a thanks for it. The Shift/Option + Update sounds a good and probably working solution for keeping your contents, I restored it however before reading this solution, try out, and find out, good luck to everyone, and thanks again!

WHAT?! I DOWNLOADED THE UPDATE BUT WHEN IT SHOWED UP ON MY TOUCH IT SHOWED UP AS THE IPHONES UPDRADE. DID IT COME WITH VOICE MEMOS? THERES NO MIC ON THE ITOUCH!!! SO WHAT HAPPENED?????????

**EDIT** again. make sure when the window pops up you click the drop down menu where is says save as file type and click all files not compressed which it is default to. latez

Thanks it works perfectly :)

holy it worked it worked it worked!!!!!!

I have followed the steps but twice i have had itunes stuck on verifying ipod restore or verifying ipod update.

I’m not sure why a lot of people are getting a ‘.zip’ extension after downloading. If you’re using Firefox, just download by right-clicking on the download link then choosing ‘save link as’ and it should show up with a .ipsw extension. After downloading it, follow “Bat Outta Hell”‘s instructions (above) and it should work flawlessly (just like Davo–again, see above–confirms). Thanks Bat!

Not working for me. It seems that after downloading the file, Safari automaticly opens the ZIP folder, so when I search for it in iTunes its already open (no “zip” or anything). So even if I add the .ipsw at the end it won’t change to an iTunes file. I try to compress it again, then change the zip file to ipsw & the iTunes icon is there, but when I try to open it on iTunes (option + restore), it says Firmware not compatible.

I’m done, i’ll buy it today.

Good luck for the rest

Thank you for this.

Here is the way to do it. * I was confused too. :P If you are using Safari to download the file, when the download completed, Safari will open(unzip) the file automatically, therefore making it unusable. etc (ipod2,1_3) * DO NOT COMPRESS the file again because Safari is using another way that will destroy some information thus even after you replace the .zip with .ipsw, it will not work and ended up like NEKBETH firmware not compatible. What you have to do is: 1) use another internet browser to download it, such as IE8 or Firefox. 2) when prompt save as, choose .ipsw, Only IF. Then you are good to go. Most of you facing the problem will be solved here. GOOD LUCK ALL!

I used the touch 1G installer and it worked great, except I have no more touchscreen volume controls! Anyone else? any ideas how to fix this! I confirmed that I downloaded from the 1G link and not the 2G…

Nevermind my last post…With the new software, the volume control only appears when you plug in headphones…

I’m stupid…

I did follow “Written By stunky” directions and it worked perfectly. I wish I new that earlier since last night I spent reloading my info. But tried again today with what was reloaded and everything was there after the update. Now I can do my son’s without worry.

I also used the “Written By stunky” instructions and it works. Ha take that apple lol

No worries, I didn’t buy it. After I read that you needed a browser other than Safari, everything worked fine. The person that made this article just needs to be slapped a few times for not telling everybody “NOT TO USE SAFARI” cause he’s obviously a windows user & thinks everybody uses the same crapy OS.

Thanks for the tip JD.

Confirmed, works perfectly on the 1st gen, didn’t run into any trouble at all. Copy & paste, spotlight, landscape keyboard and all the other good stuff is running well. If you’re on a Mac, download with Firefox, there is no need to change the file name/extension. Option+restore on iTunes will do.

It works on my 2g. The only problem I have now is that I can’t update through itunes. I can’t purchase any apps since it says my account has been disabled. has anyone encountered this problem? Can you help me with this problem? Thanks

I downloaded it yesturday for the ipod touch 2g and I thought I would use it today but found it was zip. I tried to download it again using the right click save target as, but it says it can’t download because I must be logged in to view the page or something. Is there a way to change the zip to an ipsw, or do I have to find a way to download it again?

Am I the only one that can’t download these files? It gives me a 403 forbidden error

PrinceZardell, when you restore your iPod it’ll get rid of all your apps music photos and everything since your last sync, so sync and backup everything.

Is this original version?

When the jailbreak for the 3.0 firmware comes out will I still be able to jailbreak my ipod touch 2g if I upgrade with the free version of 3.0?

Yesterday i downloaded from the link above the firmware for 2nd Gen.
I could install it OK (after renaming the extension to .ipsw)

I have to say that this update is NOT worth 10 bucks. Bluethoot only works with headphones, not for transferring files with other devices.
There are some performance improvements and new functions that could be handy for some users but nothing that worths 10 bucks.

Does the ipod need to be jailbroken?

when apple releases updates, will it update even if you didn`t BUY the 3.0 update??

AND I MENT TO SAY I HAVE TO AGREE WITH NEKBETH.

NEKEBETH, I had the same problem but I figured it out. You can change the Safari setting so that it doesn’t open the zip file automatically.

i got it to work on my 1st gen (v2) ipod touch!

hi i want this software update soo bad cuz i use cut and paste alot in my comp and it would be better to do everything with my ipod but the problem is that i have slow internet which sucks and i was wondering if a very nice person would use http://kgbarchiver.net/ this tool and compress it i would really appreciate it if u want to contact me im at [email protected]

Well it’s also meant for head to head app stuff like tap tap. Instead if playing on one iPod you can play on 2 or something like that. It’s also meant for head phones.

Yes, saved me a lot of money. thx!!!!

I had to put my 1g touch into DFU mode for the 3.0 update to work. Otherwise iTunes said it wasn’t compatible with my firmware.

hi, why isnt the link working for the ipod touch 2g? please help.

Just updated my 2G to the new 3.0 firmware. Going to give this new firmware a run for any new enhancements.

this the the full version

yeah!!i too wanted to know what will happen to my jailbreak and apps if i do it by update method
@ankit: Did u manage to find the answer yet?

hi , well can someone help me? the problem is that when i click with my mouse in the first generation ipod download link , it doesnt open . i’ll be really happy and graceful if someone can send it to me by e-mail or something like that .
thank you a lot..
bye

Hi guys, first of all, big thanks to those who provided this for free.

It worked totally fine but there are a couple of things I’ve noticed:
– I can’t seem to get the Bluetooth to work.
– Landscape typing isn’t capable in spotlight search.
– The irritating bug that makes the transferred photos blurry when zoomed is not yet fixed.

So far, these are the few flaws I’ve noticed. Does the others who have installed it have the same issues?

the ipsw link doesnt work for the itouch for me, can anyone help me!!!! please

dan

Lots of people seem to have the problem of incompatibility!!! Someone please answer this question!!! How do you get around the “firmware not compatible” issue?????

I cannot download your 1G iPod touch update software from the link, because when I click on it, I get the following error message:

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #50.547ffea5.1245522288.10716f93

What’s going on????

When i press shift and restore it says its not compatible WTF is going on why wont it work for me i have a 1st gen ipod touch

Third and final post:
–
For those who are having the same troubles as me:
–
Go through the entire process AGAIN (yes, that means, REPEAT every step, including the factory restore).
For whatever reason, I had to try out the .ipsw file twice in order to get it to work (story of my life).
Anyways, now it seems to be all working, 3.0 is loaded for me.

it works!!! I used mozilla firefox and i didn’t get the zip. file issue

Jailbroken 2G Touch with 3.0 up and running!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think its a great idea to tell people to do the Shift+Restore method. This will cause them to losoe all their data/songs/apps from the device (yes it can be added back later, but a pain in the ass). Instead do a Shift+Update.

Hey Everyone,

The 3.0 firmware for my iTouch 2G worked fine but when I checked out my iPod “Cydia” was replaced with a program called “VoiceMemos” does anybody know how or why this happened?

tc everyone

it says i dont have access to the file. i cant download it.

Man.. It worked!! After 3 tries. I guess the third times the charm huh. First and second time a got a message saying update not compatible with ipod. My iPod then went into recovery mode.
For people having the same problem: to get out of recovery mode without having to restore your iPod and thus lose all your data, unplug your ipod from the computer and hold the lock+home button till it switches off. Then, hold the lock button for 2 seconds till the apple logo shows. then wait and it should restore itself.
Another method that also works (for me atleast): hold lock and home buttons till ipod switches off and comes back on, displaying the apple logo. when the apple logo shows, let go of the lock button and keep holding the home button for about 5 seconds. Then the iPod should go back into normal mode.
Note that these methods might take a few tries before they work. If these methods aren’t working for you, plug your iPod back into the computer and make sure iTunes is on and says that your iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Then unplug your iPod and try the aforementioned methods again. Hope this helps!

Scratch that, I meant @ Brickjames.
Good to hear you had it working for ya.

The instructions by Delta work brilliantly. No files lost with shift + update.
Cheers

SWEET. THANKS!!!!

I have upgraded my iPod touch 2G with version 3.0.
With this file: iPod2,1_3.0_7A238j_Restore

But now iPod hang on iTunes logo & can not connect.

any solution??

Thanx

It worked… THANK YOU! :) But for other Mac users who didn’t know what to do with the “Shift+Click on Restore” instruction: Mac users should do all the steps but on the “Shift+Click on Restore” you should press “Alt/Option + Click” (Alt/Option is one button). That’s it.
Thank you again!

Alvaro.

In step 2 for the 2g it says “Website declined to show page”. Please email me back at [email protected].
Thanks

Yeah! It worked for me too! Verified by replying to an email and turning the iPod Touch sideways… Landscape keyboard! Whoopdi-doo! Windows Mobile’s been having this!

I have ipod touch 1g. when i try to update it gives err 14.What does that mean? How do i solve this problem???
Please reply!!!!!!

When you restore an ipod, it wipes it guys. I forgot about that too actually… I grabbed a DL file from the pirate bay btw. The links here are still borked.

Seriously, this stuff isn’t complicated guys. Just do some research before messing with things. Google is the first step.

thanxk for the person hu give the 3.0 free…i save my $9.99..thanks guysz…

can i revert back to my last firmware . after i did the upgrade my skype does not have any sound. lame. is there any way to fix it or do i just have to pay apple or should i restore to earalier and then update firmware .

i have a ipod touch 2g with this 3.0 hack from here

Hi I’m trying to update this for my 2nd Generation iPod and I shift+click update and after I click on the file it says that my iPod could not be updated because “Trae’s iPod” (Trae is my name lol) Trae’s iPod was not compatible with the firmware what does this mean? Please tell me what I need to do to fix this wierd problem!?!? Thanks
Trae

Works perfectly on iPod Touch 1G. Since apple has taken down the original links to the firmwares this website should provide the adequate firmware you require: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

ive installedit but it still shws up as version 2.1

Hi There! I need your help. I have a Ipod Touch current firmware is 2.2.1. After I downloaded all 3 files (.rar) from Ipod Touch 2G, I used the WinRAR application to extract to a single file. It seems to work. But when I try to update the Ipod Touch using the iTunes, I got an error message : ” The Ipod could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible”.

I dont know to use HJ-Split with .rar files.

Thank you for your help,
Marcos

wait hang on, so upon downloading the upgrade to the itouch, how do i back up my itouch? -_- this seems rather complex..

This is what my page says to me when i click on the update

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #50.24268343.1246297867.c567abd

if u click option + update it just updates instead of restarting and u dont lose any songs

thank u guys so much!!!!!

The ipod Touch 1g link isn’t working… Fix it plz…. It says that I may not have the permissions to continue…

Maybe you have to rename the zip file for mac too?

I figured out the problem! I, like many other people commenting, kept getting the “update is not compatible message.” I got it 4 times in a row.

I followed the steps that were posted, religiously. Same resaults each time.

Then I tried Stunky’s step 5, a suggestion:

“5. click on “check for update”. it will take you to the page where it says the features and says “buy for 9.99? or “cancel”.”

When I clicked “update” (not shift + update, I got a message that said I needed to upgrade to iTunes 8.2 in order to do that.

I upgraded to vs. 8.2 and then it was smooth sailing. I shift + restored my iPod into 3.0 bliss.

Here are the steps again, originally posted by Stunky:

“1. Download the 2nd gen [or 1st gen] 3.0 ispw file.
2. load up iTunes.
3. plug in your iPod Touch.
4. it will show up in your iTunes. now on the main screen for it, there will be 2 options: “check for update” and “restore”
5. click on “check for update”. it will take you to the page where it says the features and says “buy for 9.99? or “cancel”.

****If you don’t have the correct version of iTunes, at this point, it will let you know that you need to upgrade to 8.2. DO IT****

6. press the cancel button.
7. now it will return to the main page you were at, except this time it will say “update” instead of “check for update”
8. hold your shift key and left click “update”
9. double click the 3.0 file you downloaded.
10. let it run its course like normal.”

Have you tried recovery mode? Hook up to iTunes and then hold power+home for 10 sec. then release home and wait for iTunes to recognize the ipod in recovery mode. Then do the shift+restore and browse to the firmware file. It whipes everything off but will re-sync everything after its done upgrading to 3.0 if you let it create a backup previously.

Good idea with the check for update & then cancel theory! When mine only had “check for updates” and no “update” button, I just restored it. Worked great – just gotta download my apps again…

I have itunes 8.2 AND my ipod updated to the latest firmware and i still get the “firmware not capable” when i try both shift+update AND shift+restore.

i’ve even bothered to restore my ipod and try to upgrade to 3.0 from a fresh ipod but still fails on me.

does my ipod have to be jail broken first to do this?

Please Help me. i got error 10.

and i cant install iTunes8.2 it ses ” .ewe is not valid win32 application”

anyone can help?
Thanks in advance

why does this keep comming out???

An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #50.258933d0.1246661695.129f7869

If you cannot download the file, do a google search for the file ( I searched for iPod1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw) and you should get a link somewhere on there for megaupload or rapidshare, or whatever.

Just google the file itself.

Good luck.

CORRECTION: Autocomplete gave me the wrong file on the checksum i wrote above. The actual working file checksum for the 3.0 upgrade i bought was:

572924088 270315364 iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw

(Note the right filename this time.)
Everything else on my last post is right, sorry bout that.

I had compatibility issues and I have been able to resolve it by reloading the ispw file. I used this one (http://depositfiles.com/en/files/tm4v1kl8k). Everything worked out great.

I also heard reconnecting the ipod solved some of those issues. As does restarting both the ipod and computer.

http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ works no problem try it

Can anybody help here???

I got the file not capable too, can anybody possiblely help me????

And by the way, I’m planning to jailbreak my iPod, so if I can get this solved shoud I update my iPod or restore it?

thankx

!!! Awesome!!! 10 bucks saved.. To bad my friend next to me just bought it cause he got pissed… lol… hes even more pissed right now. and hes tryin to tell me that ill go to jail cause of this XD

Thank you so much for these comments and solution of updating itouch firmware 3.0 for 2nd gen. It works awesomely, I also installed jailbreak for my itouch. I haven’t found any issue..

it worked on my 1G! the first time i got an error message on itunes, so i restored my ipod to factory settings, and tried it again.. and it worked.. the bad thing is that i didn’t back up my ipod first.

just downloaded the 3.0 for my ipod touch and now my ipod is not working just stays on the edit home screen someone plz HELP!

I couldn’t get it to browse for the firmware file and the first time it downloaded and restored to the current 2x firmware. If you put the firmware into the downloads folder and delete all other versions from that folder it then uses the firmware you gave it, and it did say it was upgrading.

~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/

using firmware from
http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

update worked fine and about registers correct version

First attempt that downloaded and used 2x firmware did wipe out all apps, but iPod was brand new so it didn’t matter, iTunes did give option to restore apps from its backup after I got 3.0 on there and that appeared to go through fine, but I had no settings in place to see if they restored.

Just followed Stunky’s directions. Worked perfectly on my 1st gen touch.

wow!!! Worked like a freaking charm!! no issues at all for me (usually i have to change a bunch of settings on my computer for stuff like this)! I have no clue how this is legal haha, but im glad it works thanks a ton!! the felixbruns.de place is where i got mine btw

Hi, I’ve updated my firmware and in the process all my music and videos have disappeared-as in I my music folder says there’s no content, but the info says that the ipod is still full!! Please help!!

Thanks so much! instructions were precise! Just updated my ipod touch 2g to 3.0, without losing any data on my ipod! Mighty excited! You people rock here!!! Cheers

The link seems to be dead. Error 403 Forbidden. The website declined to show the page.

I recently downloaded the 3.0 firmware succesfully to my computer. When i open itunes and shift-click restore i can see the file but when i go to open it, it opens into the other files in the folder and will not let me select the whole folder for download. Please help

nope the link doesn’t work… thats why you have to read and see to use http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

i managed to solve it.Instead of using shift-update use shift-restore..then ipod will pick up new software.

Hi guys,

I’m really pissed off.
I’ve downloaded the os 3.0 for my iTouch 2g 32G, clicked on shift+restore, then it seemed to be updating for about 5min and then i’ve got an error and the only thing i have on my iTouch now is the USB cable. Nothing works for me now as iTunes does not give me any other option but Restore and it pops aut the same error each time. Like i said, i cannot get into the iPod at all. When i turn it on, the USB cable appears and nothing works.

PS: I bought this iTouch as a birthday gift for my wife and i only have 3 days to fix it.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

GOT IT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER 1 MAJOR THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALLWAYS PLUG YOUR USB CABLE FROM THE BACK OF YOUR PC!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALLWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

if ur smart enough u can do it. download the 3.0 firmware and when it ask “save as” just add .ipsw.. follow the instruction on the top and there..

just follow the instructions carefully, and it will work well. ;)

I I’d the update and it works fine but it’s slow when turning on the iPod and turning it off that’s all I found to be annoying about it

When i click on the iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw it goes to a new tab as an error.

when i held shift & clicked restore & clicked the files, it said my iTouch couldn’t be restored because the firmware file isn’t compatible. :( what’s that meann ?

QUESTION – does anybody have a virus, worm scare after doing this? I ran a mcafee scan on the ispw file, nothing. BUT now, mcafee is warning me that my im protection keeps turning off (as well as some others that i can’t remember) i have had to “fix” twice today, and it has me worried. ANYONE else running VISTA and McAfee and getting similar warnings?
hey, i downloaded file to desktop (ispw as is no file name change), followed the instructions on how to update and have updated ipod touch 2g (did this for 4 ipod touches, 2-8gb, 1-16gb and 1-32gb. did the 32gb one first, then ran update again and got the 3.1.1 installed, don’t seem to be any issues.
one of the 8gb’s froze after turning off, but this could be a hardware issue. the other 3 ipod touches updated automatically to 3.1.1 when connected. All seem to be running fine, but worried about some kind of hidden infection now.

how come whenever i try to click the link to upgrade my ipod touch 2G to 3.0 it just sends me to an error page. HELP
