    oKay, i know this a very old topic, but it seems to not be working for me, even after reviewing all of these past posts> Anyways, my problem is with QuickPwn, when i start it after extracting the file, it begins normal, I choose the Ipod touch option, then the file in the space where it lets you browse the file, right after that, when Ipress the butten to continue, and the screen to connect the iPod comes on, and error report screen pops up, and closes quickpwn, its been doing this continuously.

    Any help is much appreciated,

  19. Kristian says:

    Unfortunatly, It did not work. Whenever QuickPWN is counting down when your holding down the Home button for 30 seconds, It crashes at 21 seconds. Its really annoying.
