ipod nano firmware update features
Can I test a “Shift + Restore” on my Nano (description for more details)?
I’m getting an iPod Touch, and we’ve narrowed it down to two places to buy from. Both send the device preloaded with the 3.1 firmware. I need it on 4.0.1 (or 4.0 for that matter; It doesn’t really matter to me…) so I can jailbreak it, and still have the features of iOS 4.
I’ve been told that I can update to 4.0.1 (I’ve already downloaded the actual file) by Shift + Restore-ing it in iTunes. But I’ve read elsewhere, that I need to have SHSH blobs saved in order to do that. (Additional question!: Can I really just Shift + Restore it? Or do I need to jailbreak it in 3.1 first, save the SHSH and so on and so forth…?)
Can I run a test of this using my Nano? I’m not going to actually Restore it to the 4.0.1 firmware, because obviously that won’t work. I just need to make sure it actually lets me choose where to restore it from. Because if I end up on 4.0.2, I’m screwed.
Soo any help would be great, thanks!
Shift + Restore always works. If it comes with 3.1, you’ll be able to restore to 4.0 with no problem. As an additional note, 4.0.1 doesn’t exist for the iPod Touch; that’s for the iPhone. So 4.0 is your best bet. BUT. If you want to be able to downgrade back to 3.1 just in case you don’t like iOS4, then I advise you to jailbreak your iPod on 3.1, then save SHSH blobs in Cydia, and when you know that’s done successfully, then upgrade to iOS 4. If you would like some help doing this, send me an email at t[dot]khozam[at]yahoo[dot]ca
