For those who want to upgrade to Firmware 2.2 without jailbreaking their iPhone or iPod Touch, I’ve posted the download links here.
- iPhone firmware 2.2 download (246 MB)
- iPhone 3G firmware 2.2 download (Caution if you upgrade to iPhone 3G 2.2 you won’t be able to unlock your iPhone 3G)
- iPod Touch 1st Gen 2.2.1 download
- iPod Touch 2nd Gen 2.2 download
Remember to update to firmware 2.2 all you need to do is:
1. Launch iTunes
2. Click update and choose your firmware 2.2 IPSW file
3. iTunes will take care of the rest! :)
If you want to restore to firmware 2.2 or another firmware all you need to do is:
1. Launch iTunes
2. Shift-click Restore for Windows users and option-click restore for Mac users
3. Choose your .IPSW file that you want to restore to
4. iTunes will do the rest!

what does it mean when it says “firmware error string”?
It means you didn’t download the correct firmware or you are using iPod Touch 2G firmware which is unsupported.
you should just wait till yellowsnow can unlock 2.2.1 if not just buy a damn turbosim its the same shit
My ipod touch screen will not pick up on my computer. it say apple camera. The only thing showing on the ipod screen is a picture of the itunes icon and an arrow pointing to the usb cord.
Hold down the square home button and the standby button until your iPod Touch turrns off. Then turn it back on by pressing the standby button.
