iPod Touch OS 3.0 (1st gen)

Official iPod Touch 3.0 software update. This was taken directly from the iTunes store and is for the first generation iPod Touch only. I had really hoped that someone else bought it and posted it so I didn't have to have pay the $9.99, but now that I have, I am sharing to the world! For Windows Users: 1. Download this file 2. Open iTunes. 3. Attach iPod Touch to USB cable. 4. Click the iPod from the left pane. 5. a. For Windows users, hold down the Shift key while clicking Check for Update. b. For MAC users, hold down the Option key while clicking Check for Update. 6. iTunes will ask where you have this file saved. 7. Update and enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions.

1Greenlink (2009-06-18)

Umm wait there must be something wrong it looks like the last beta to me

edanielss (2009-06-18)

it wooooorks ;) i can assure you of that..

edanielss (2009-06-18)

can someone tell me how do i change the volume ?

jmi8990 (2009-06-18)

Does this work on the 2nd gen iPod Touch?

duvall348 (2009-06-18)

I keep getting an error 10, even after restoring to 2.2.1 and trying to upgrade.

svetlania09 (2009-06-18)

@duvall348, are you using the 1st or 2nd generation iPod touch? This download is for the 1st generation. The first gen doesn't have an internal speaker so it required headphones to hear music.

duvall348 (2009-06-18)

I have a 1st gen. I forgot to install iTunes 8.2, let's see if that fixes the problem.

svetlania09 (2009-06-18)

I definitely think that would be the problem. The patch notes for iTunes 8.2 says that it adds support for OS 3.0 :)

svetlania09 (2009-06-18)

@edanieless, what volume are you referring to? while playing a song or video?

duvall348 (2009-06-18)

Works just fine now with the 8.2 update.

processcolour (2009-06-18)

Worked fine for me.

ricbax (2009-06-18)

Worked for me too. Thanks!

l.hackett (2009-06-18)

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
YOU'RE MY HERO
now i just have to wait for dev teams quickpwn :P

dublo7 (2009-06-18)

Would someone be able to upload the 2nd gen update?
Thanks!

edanielss (2009-06-18)

@svetlania09
this new version isn't showing the volume if you don't connect the headphones.. got scared .. i believed that it is especially made for 2g and they forgot to adapt it for 1g. i've connected the headphones and it works ... no i wait for the jailbreak to be able to change the european volume limit

edanielss (2009-06-18)

after downloading it for here i found a way on the internet to download it for free from apple. you just enter your ipod touch 1g,2g, iphone 2g,3g, or whatever you have, in DFU (if you don't know what this is, google it please) .. and connect to the pc, itunes will notify you that your iphone/ipod is in recovery mode and to restore it. if you hit restore it will automatically download 3.0 , free :)

edanielss (2009-06-18)

before upgrading to 3.0 please keep in my mind that is freakin' impossible to downgrade to 2.2.1, or whatever firmware you used before. so... choose carrefully.

svetlania09 (2009-06-18)

Seriously... that is so awesome. I haven't found anything with 3.0 that is so life changing that it is worth $9.99. After I upgraded the wifes iPhone it was well worth the $0.00! I just don't understand why they charge for the iPod but it is free for the iPhone. I paid more at the store for iPod than the iPhone!

svetlania09 (2009-06-18)

@oliwalker, thank you. I knew it wouldn't be long before the world had this ridiculous charge for the iPod upgrade solved!

edanielss (2009-06-18)

it's so stupid to charge for firmware upgrades ... i agree with the apps, movies and songs, but for firmware upgrades, that sounds ridiculous. and they know it.

richie1283 (2009-06-19)

Someone please upload the OS 3.0 for ipod touch 2G!!!

richie1283 (2009-06-19)

actually on iTunes it says:
This update is for iPod Touch and iPod Touch (2nd Generation)
has anyone tried it on a 2nd generation?

cipesito (2009-06-19)

thanks man you saved me $10. fuck this upgrade fee, long live to file the sharing. big corporations won't ever win against the people

vishal_o (2009-06-19)

review (2009-06-19)

hawki92 (2009-07-05)

Thanks man the torrent had great speed, clear instructions, & worked perfectly. Now I just have to jailbreak it again.

xxnhoj13xx (2009-07-07)

Thank you!
I looked everywhere for this and couldn't find it.
I'll get it now and when my ipod is back from the repair center(and radioshack decides to call me) I'll upgrade.
Thanks to seeders and uploader.

YpsiFrog (2009-07-07)

didnt work for me I keep getting error 14 ? then have to restore it

Chaos1234 (2009-07-07)

I think the reason why you are getting these error messages on itunes is because Apple veryfies that you purchased it. Since you didn't purchased it you get an "unknown" error. I think that if you disconnect from the internet when you sync your ipod touch, that you wont get that error message because it cant verify, but I may be wrong.

TinyQ (2009-07-22)

DUDE UR AWSOME thanks works perfectly

irlanda (2009-07-24)

thanks:) cant beleive how easy it was to upgrade, saved me ?10, thanks again.

SurenSimonyan (2009-07-26)

it's not real one, real iPod os 3 for 2nd gen is 297 mb

luckiari (2009-07-30)

thanks svetlania09! you saved me $10. i thought it was ridiculous that they wanted to charge for the new upgrade!
i'm installing as we speak. thanks again!

altss (2009-08-01)

******IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR YOU************
and you tried to update w/ these directions, you got an error 14 and had to format your ipod, hold SHIFT + click restore and then select this file and it will install it and it works fine then

mr.rivas (2009-08-03)

altss...god bless you that error 14 was driving me crazy!! but now its works, thank you so damn much hahaha

thelillards (2009-08-25)

I am getting and error message that says "The ipod could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible". I have a Ipod Touch 1g 16 GB. What the hell?

thelillards (2009-08-25)

Nevermind. It wasn't done downloading. I am an idiot.

LRSCREW (2009-08-28)

does not work....it ask's to open with itunes as default...but does nothing...please take off.....

einaar (2009-08-30)

thanks man! now everyone just needs to seed!!

YpsiFrog (2009-09-01)

well, I got error 14 now what?

ulzzi (2009-12-09)

jeah error 14 whaaaat?? have 1gen 16gb

borge947 (2010-01-03)

If everybody read the instructions, half of you would manage to get it done! Option/Shift+ Check for update in iTunes!

LifetimeTorrenter (2010-02-14)

Workedd Flawlessly.

SirRudolph (2011-02-08)

awesome upload.

MzAmbulance (2011-03-23)

thought it didnt work at first but did the restore and shifty clicked it and it worked great!!! tahnks a bunch!! is it ok to upgrade to 3.1.3 after???

EmeralSoul (2011-07-25)

IT WORKS!!! OMG EFFING WIN!~ Thank you so much.
I also got the Error 14 message so I disconnected any other usb things I had except for my mouse and keyboard, I restarted my computer, then I plugged in my ipod again, itunes opened.
NOW here is where it got scary D: it wouldn't let me click "Check for updates" so I couldn't do the "Hold Shift key". Just out of chance I decided to do the "Hold Shift Key" but instead of clicking "Check for updates" I clicked the "Restore".
It did the same thing, I waited and BAM it worked perfectly. Now I can play with apps and porn at the same time
