So earlier today I was getting ready to make the jump to 2.0, I wrote down all the apps/skins I had, had already backed up all my music using CopyTrans, was good to go, but I had a nagging feeling that this iPod Touch hadn't been pwned, which (if I read correctly) it had to be if I was to update to 2.0. I had read a bit about how I was supposed to BootNeuter the Touch, but the more I read about it the more it seemed an iPhone only thing, and besides, whenever I tried to load BootNeuter the Touch would become unresponsive (forever, hours and hours, nothing changed.)
I've been running 1.1.4 jailbroken for a few weeks, and I thought I'd like to see some different boot logos before I update, so using Winpwn 1.0 RC3, I changed the logos, and everything seemed to be going great. Then something happened, and now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode. I've been stuck here for hours. And this isn't the nice, please plug cable into USB recovery mode, I mean it is blank screen. I can't see a thing.
I've been having problems getting Vista to recognize it, so I've been uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times, restarting the service, etc. At the moment, I can see there is an iPhone connected with iTunes, but it doesn't tell me serial or any other information, and of course it asks me to restore it. Which I've tried, several times. I tried a custom 2.0 restore image for a while, then I tried the stock 1.1.4 image which I downloaded from the downloads section of this site. Each time, it chugs along, but then reaches Error 1604, and crash, at which point the Touch is no longer recognized by Windows and I have to unplug and replug it.
So here are the things I can do: Hold Power button + Home button to restart, and enter recovery mode. Keep in mind that during all this time, nothing has been showing up on screen, except occasionally the screen will suddenly go white (THANK GOD THE SCREEN DIDNT DIE OR SOMETHING) but then back to black. If I had to guess, the boot image logos are corrupt and while I am at the recovery screen, I just can't see it.
So where should I go from here? I'll do anything not to brick this thing.
UPDATE: Funny stuff. Because iTunes detects the Touch as an iPhone right now (not a good sign :/), when I click the restore button and it tries to download an official firmware to restore to, it tries to download the 2.0 firmware, for free. It is an iPhone after all in Apple's eyes, right? Also, in case its necessary to know, I'm running Windows Vista x64, which makes me wonder whether or not I can attempt to downgrade to 1.1.4 (if thats really the problem) by switching to iTunes 7.5, which supposedly has problem working with x64.
