i bought magicalbeefs 16G ipod touch, i also have an 8G one here as well that cant be jailbroken

the plan was to reset the 16G and put the backup of my 8G onto it,

so going through the 16G menu, i selected all the reset options, it gave the warning that it would be about 2 hours, cl;icked ok and left it do its thing

now i either have a battery with a tiny red line telling me to charge it (if it comes on at all that is) or just an apple in the middle of the screen

plugging it into the computer gives the 'usb device malfunctioned' error

have i fooked it?
 
DFU?? WTF??? lol

only thing ive found it

press and hold both buttons till apple vanishes, and comes back, connect to pc, and wait 5-15 mins

that was half hour ago
 
its telling me i have to take the 3.1.3 update :(

is there any other way i can use the backup on my PC?

I have never done it myself but YES it is possible, thats why they make the backup of your ipod before a sync.

Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

IF it doesn;t work, you can download earlier firmware from below, just tell it what version you want and download it, you may have to change the file extension to .ipsw if it downloads it as a .zip file.

the only option its giving me is to update then restore :(

i have to say, these ipods are the worst bit of kit ive ever owned
 
its done my head in all day now, ill just let it do its thing to 3.1.3 and never fook with it again

if the iPhone is as tempremental as these things, itll be about a month before it goes out of the van vindow and im back to my N95 lol
 
i had the same prob with an 8gb one,nani gave me a link for the 2.1.2 restore file so i dint have to take the 3.1.3
dont know if it would of been the same on urs
 
when i click restore, the only option its giving me is to download the 3.1.3 update
 
gonna leave it for now, or im gonna snap the fookin thing in half

im going up the pub
 
What version is it digi, is it a 3gs? if it is and you upgrade to 3.1.3 then you can only downgrade to 3.1.2 if you have SHSHs on the cydia server

Downgrade iPhone 3.1.3 to 3.1.2

apple have stopped signing 3.1.2 so you can now only put 3.1.3 on the new 3gs and this updates the bootrom and is meant to make it so you can unlock or jailbreak. but if you have the shsh on cydia then you can downgrade to 3.1.2 by following the tut below

Downgrade iPhone Firmware 3.1 to 3.0

mine on 3.1.2 crashed when i updated a package in cydia and i couldnt get it sorted so i had to let it update and restore, but luckily i had the SHSHs. the only way to find out if you cant get into cydia

the only way to tell is try the tut above and if you get the 3002 error then they arent there but if you get 1015 error you can continue to follow the guide

let us know how u get on its either try this or wait for a jailbreak for 3.1.3 as there is no other way to go back to 3.1.2
 
its an ipod touch, i cancelled the update, im not sure what version it is, its about a year old, 16G one

had a tit full of it now, so going for a beer lol

cheers for all the help peeps, will have a good read tomorrow
 
when you get round to it mate take a look at the below tut for a touch on 3.1.3 cant vouch for it working but worth a try

Downgrade iPod Touch 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 OS | iPod Touch 3G/2G

thats what fooked up my first ipod m8 lol, it ended up left in the state this one is in, i ended up taking it back to argos, but this one isnt made no more, so itll need to be returned to apple if i cant sort it :(

as a last attempt ill let it go through the 3.1.3 update after trying everything else
 
when i click restore, the only option its giving me is to download the 3.1.3 update

To get it to restore to a version of your choosing you have to press SHIFT then click restore then browse to the firmware you want and off it goes.

So you need 3.1.2 or whatever version you want on your pc first.
 
i waited an hour for the 3.1.2 to download, then it said not compatible, so i thought fook it, and let itunes update it, after nearly another hour, it failed and said network error, even though it downloaded everything first

im now trying on the laptop

im going to get it running, and sell it, in 3 weeks ive fooked 3 of them without even trying to hack them properly

fook getting an iphone if theyre anything like these poxy things, in my experience, theyre shite
 
put the firmware on your pc and do as sargie said mate "To get it to restore to a version of your choosing you have to press SHIFT then click restore then browse to the firmware you want and off it goes."

what generation is your ipod touch digi?

edit: grab the firmware from here then do as me and jimmyp suggested to restore it to that firmware.
