Wrong generation iPod software

[dennisdenny]

Hi everybody,

I've got a weird problem with my third generation iPod Touch. When I was younger, I wanted to jailbreak my iPod but there was no good jailbreak available at that moment, so I tried to downgrade my iPod. This didn't work with the 3th generation 3.1.3, so I tried the 2nd generation software, which did work.

But now, when I want to upgrade to iOS 5, it's impossible because iTunes still sees my 3G iPod as 2G. I already tried to manually downgrade by bringing it in recovery mode and shift+click reset, but then I get an error that says " the software is not compatable with your device". Totally reseting didn't work either. So has anybody a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Only thing I can think of is put it into recovery mode and goest an appointment for Apple to fix it, don't tell them what you did

Yeah, I was thinking of something like this too, but won't they ask me what I did with it, and what do I have to say? At least, thanks for your fast reaction

The only explanation is ur iPod is a 2g and not a 3g. One device firmware CANNOT ever be installed on another device. U r under a wrong perception.

No I'm really sure I have a 3th gen iPod, even looked up a video on how to tell the difference. + I got an application which told me everything about my iPod, and it said 2nd generation. At that time, I was really wondered too, but I got the idea from someone else.

Take it to Apple and play dumb don't tell them what u did to it, just say "it's not working"

And while your there ask if it is a 3rd generation
