iPod Touch Jailbreak Problem.

[SyKotik Cannon]

im trying to jailbreak my iPod Touch and whenever i run QuickPwn and select my firmware it reads it for half a second and say "Firmware string error"

any ideas why?

Model - 1st Generation
Firmware - 2.2.1

Make sure when you download your firmware that it is for the correct model and pinpoint accurate. If you have 2.2.1, don't choose 2.2.0. I had the same problem when I jailbroke my first iPhone but then I checked the firmware that I downloaded and it didn't match so I looked again and tried a different one. Not sure if this will resolve your problem but it helped me.

yeah i checked several times, its 2.2.1

Are you downloading the firmware from an official site? The one I got it from just listed all the firmwares with no model names (just repeated firmwares) and I figured that the first one was iPhone 1st gen, second set of firmwares was 3G and third set was iTouch.

Try downloading it from where you found quickpwn. I can't remember the site name but that's where I started downloading mine and they've worked fine for me. I'm not sure what else to tell you. I don't know if the firmware string error is on the iPod Touch's side or the firmware that you downloaded. Sorry.
