You will need a copy of a PwnageTool 3.1.3 created 3.1.1 firmware for iPod Touch 2G's. Don't ask me where to get it, google is your friend here.


Download Quickfreedom ---- click here (http://outgoing.ipodtouchfans.com/?d=aHR0cDovL2lwb2QyZy5pbmZvL0Rvd25sb2FkL2NsaWNrLnB ocD9pZD0x)
Install it
Click "jailbreak ipod"
It will require that you install LibUSB. (beware this can mess you up if you dont install it right.)
Click the "Install LIBUSB" button
Follow the instruction on how to install it in compatibility mode if you are running Vista or Windows 7
Install it
Browse for a 2.2.1 firmware in Quickfreedom or download it. (you won't actually restore this, its just so that quickfreedom can verify it.)
Click next
Ignore this step. click next again
You will now need to put it in DFU mode. i suggest using the "DFU instructions" button. this step may take a few tries cuz it did for me. once its in DFU mode it will start the pre-jailbreak and will turn your ipod screen WHITE. this is good! once it is done doing its thing you can open iTunes and SHIFT+CLICK+RESTORE and browse for your copy of the 3.1.1 custom firmware. it will then restore you to a jailbroken 3.1.1!!!!!!
CONGRATS!!!!! Hopefully you did it with no problems!!

sounds like it will work! ill let you know

Trying it right now! THANK YOU!!!!

i found a mediafire file 3.1.1 jailbroken... shhhh

Quick question... When downloading the file from MEGAUPLOAD in it's description it says iPod touch 1st gen... Will this work on 2nd gen?

ill wait for redsn0w thanks :P

I am doing this and then re-jailbreaking on with redsn0w :P

Quick question... When downloading the file from MEGAUPLOAD in it's description it says iPod touch 1st gen... Will this work on 2nd gen?
No it must be for the iPod touch 2G.

It works it work i am probably one of the first people to jailbreak 3.1.1 on windows this works u have to find the right file though... Thank you
------------------double post merged------------------
HAHA (hint) i bet this will be gone as soon as a mod finds it...

gee thanks for posting this half an hour after i had to find it on my own and finished jailbreaking on windows. just kidding. great job

whatever123 did you download the first file on there?

This will not work if you bought the new 2.5G or what ever you call it.

im on 3.0 jailbroken already..... can i go start to 3.1 jailbreak or do i hav to be on 3.1 b4 jailbreaking my ipod touch 2g

im on 3.0 jailbroken already..... can i go start to 3.1 jailbreak or do i hav to be on 3.1 b4 jailbreaking my ipod touch 2g
You can go directly to jailbroken 3.1.1, there is no difference.

wyndwarrior.... I just want to let you know your fucking amazing... Thank you :P It works :)

Confirmed - works.

Thanks!!

Well done! Looks like it works! If I restored directly from jailbroken 3.0 is all of my old jailbreak data still hiding on my iPod somewhere, or did the DFU restore get rid of all that?

Did anyone else notice this. I just jailbroke my friends 8 gig which has always said its capacity was 7.0 gigs. After the jailbreaking process it said 6.5 gigs :S Any ideas why?

Worked for me, thanks man. :)

Hey does this work if i upgraded to 3.1.1 and im not jailbroken. Basically can i do this if im on 3.1.1 non-jailbroken 2g.

Hey does this work if i upgraded to 3.1.1 and im not jailbroken. Basically can i do this if im on 3.1.1 non-jailbroken 2g.

No Josh, your iPod must be on the 3.0 Jailbroken Firmware or it won't work.

Did anyone else notice this. I just jailbroke my friends 8 gig which has always said its capacity was 7.0 gigs. After the jailbreaking process it said 6.5 gigs :S Any ideas why?

I think they made the System Partition bigger. Before it was 500 MB large, now it is 578 MB, and the Other size just after Restoring was 283 MB, almost a Gigabyte.

No Josh, your iPod must be on the 3.0 Jailbroken Firmware or it won't work.
Thanks for the quick response:)

Um, I think I just jailbroke my iPod using the above instructions, and I was already on 3.1.1. I have Cydia and Icy, so I may have to remove Icy.

In other words, HELL YEAH BABY! Thank you very much dude.

This won't work for preinstalled 3.1.1 firmware, right?

It worked for me. I have Cydia, Icy, Winterboard, etc. I am about to sync up some apps to see if they work....


I will update shortly.

IT worked for you??? are you serious??? i just got a black screen where it said i would get white !!!

Why isn't this thread stickied?

I was able to jailbreak my 2G iPod touch, to answer the last person, it was not preinstalled, but I did update my software (that causing my last jailbreak to unbreak). Now I followed the steps in this thread, I am NOW once again, FREE!!!

How? I tried this and i could never get teh white screen to show up..

It took me about three times to get the white screen. The 3rd time I tried, I had somebody plug in the USB cable while I was holding the two buttons. The previous attempts failed for me because I plugged it in, then hit the two buttons. The couple seconds difference may have made a difference for me. But then again, I can't 100% state that has fact.

Ok ill try taht i guess..

Why isn't this thread stickied?

Yea seriously...ive seen no mods over here! Hrm?

nope still no white screen

Nice! :)
So this is supposed to work with 2gen with pre-installed 3.1? ("2.5 gen")
Also, is this a "classic way" to JB? (I know nothing about how to) I mean, is it a normal way?
Can this way mess up my Touch? :s
------------------double post merged------------------
Oh yeah also, does my Touch needs to be plugged all the way or just at step 11?

Is this tethered or untethered? Plus when I was d/l'ing the 2.2.1 FW, my Firefox crashed (I had QuickFreedom open at the time and I had just installed the lib thing...on Xp 64 bit). I restarted FF and it totally froze. I couldn't close it even through the task manager (access denied although I hav admin priveliges on XP). I closed QuickFreedom through the task manager one time and then tried to log off of the computer. It was taking forever to I selected restart, then shut-down, then sleep (all this hapeened within a 10 min period). The comp eventually went to sleep, then I woke it and it shut down.

I then booted it back up, and here is where the real trouble starts. My mouse and keyboard are totally unresponsive. I tried it in my other comp (Vista) and it works fine, but it doesn't work on the XP. Now that means that I can't log on at all or uninstall quickfreedom to see if it fixes the issue. I'm in a big problem (I can't even boot into safe mode because of an unresponsive keyboard - NO INPUT WHATSOEVER). I need help.

Oh ye and another thing I forgot to mention; when I was installing either quickfreedom or the lib thingy, a notice came up saying that a file cannot be overwritten or is read only or something like that. I clicked retry and the install continued fine.

I reAlly need help!!!

QuickFreedom keeps saying that my iPod is not connected. Help?

I can't pretend to be a professional when it comes to jailbreaking. I just follow the instructions and try my best. First, the unit after I jailbroke it, is untethered. It starts up with my problems, and without a PC.

I installed Quickfreedom, I then installed LibUSB through the software...make sure you run it as Windows XP, or it will NOT work. I then got it in DFU mode, white screen, my screen then displayed a pineapple, then BOOM.....jailbroken. I have a 2g touch that was updated two weeks ago with 3.1.1. I was without my touch since then, now I am happy.

Wait, so this way can we have our own custom boot logos with a 3.1 jailbreak? Can anyone verify whether this is true?

Here is what I want to know, what is the difference between this process and the upcoming release of Greenpoison?

hey, for 2G ipods, i made one with a VMware'ed OS X.
EDIT: Forgot, iPtF doesnt allow links to iPod touch firmwares 'cuz their supposed to be payed. Sorry guys. :(

bro how do you get it to DFU mode??

Also, why is Quick freedom necessary? it should work fine without all the quickfreedom crap. Did someone forget to tell you that QuickFreedom IS A 2.2.1 JAILBREAK? Not 3.1.1, 2.2.1. And again, the ipsw is jailbroken on its own, once its been through pwnagetool. So you dont need quick freedom.

I just followed the instructions, it took about three times, then I finally got the white screen, then the progress bar showed up. At the end, I had Cydia and Icy.

I did this around about an hour after PwnageTool was out,
However all I had to do was get onto 3.0 Jailbroken,
Shift+Restore to 3.1.1 Custom IPSW Firmware,
And Ta-Da.. Icy and Cydia <3

But yeah, good job.
=)

Well, I am not sure if Quickfreedom was needed or not, but I still installed it. When I plug my touch into iTunes, the software does show 3.1.1. So, the SW is updated and is jailbroken. I am one happy camper.

aghh.. uploading firmware is taking FOREVER on the VM!

I'm currently running firmware 3.1.1 on iPod Touch 2G, non jailbroken. Will I be able to use this method anyway?

Yes, I have the same device and I am now jailbroken.
------------------double post merged------------------
Why isn't this getting much attention? It's a jailbreaking option for your ipods, yeah, it's not "greenpoison," but it works!

It doesn't work for me on the new 8gb!!!! I can't get a white screen!!!!!!!!!¡

So now we're able to jailbreak iPod Touch 2g with FW 3.1.1 on windows? I'm glad to hear it. But I have a question to ask:

1. My parents bought me new iPod Touch at Apple Store in NYC on about 14th of September. It comes with FW 3.1 (7C144). Is it a 2G or 3G iPod Touch? If it's a 3G, than it couldn't jailbroken yet, right? Oh my! :-(

After all, I'm new to iPod Touch nor Apple, so I hope this forum can help me. Thanks!

EDITED :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, no need to answer my previous question, now I already knew that my iPod Touch is a 3G iPod Touch by looking at the model at about pge of my iPod. Huaaa..!!! Goodbye jailbreaking (for now)...!!!

You can't downgrade the new 8gbs. So no, you can't jailbreak it either.

HAHA (hint) i bet this will be gone as soon as a mod finds it...

yup.. this will be the last time I warn for discussing custom .ipsw downloads... from now on it's a ban from me for anyone that broaches the subject on forum.

LISTEN UP:

If you are already running 3.1, or 3.1.1, And you are NOT Jailbroken,
You will NOT Be able to use this method to JailBreak.

The only way you will be able to JailBreak, if you are already on 3.1, or 3.1.1,
Is to wait for GreenPois0n, or go through the painful process of Downgrading.

(Y)

I reported that (hint) link hours ago, took you that long stunangerous to take action? Anyways I'm glad that it was eventually taken down :) Thanks Super Moderator!

It doesn't work for me on the new 8gb!!!! I can't get a white screen!!!!!!!!!¡

You cant jb the 3G

You will now need to put it in DFU mode. i suggest using the "DFU instructions" button. this step may take a few tries cuz it did for me. once its in DFU mode it will start the pre-jailbreak and will turn your ipod screen WHITE. this is good! once it is done doing its thing you can open iTunes and SHIFT+CLICK+RESTORE and browse for your copy of the 3.1.1 custom firmware. it will then restore you to a jailbroken 3.1.1!!!!!!

Can i do a Shift + Update ? Will my data remain as it is?

or you can just get a custom firmaware and hit shift+restore while you are on 3.0 jailbroken
DO NOT PUT IT IN DFU IF U DO THIS

but if you like extra steps you can take them, you may need the exercise

or you can just get a custom firmaware and hit shift+restore while you are on 3.0 jailbroken

So that means i can just do a shift + restore with the custom firmware without going through all this ?

I beg to differ. I have a 2G iPod Touch, I upgraded the software a couple weeks ago to 3.1.1. At that time, my jailbreak was removed, so I am upset. Now, I tried this process and it worked. I am now jailbroken with Cydia and since removed Icy. So, how is that possible?

So that means i can just do a shift + restore with the custom firmware without going through all this ?

yes, if you are 3.0 jailbroken and you have a custom firmware you can just shift + restore, you will not have the same settings but if you have aptbackup or pkgbackup(the better one) you can get them back

yes, if you are 3.0 jailbroken and you have a custom firmware you can just shift + restore, you will not have the same settings but if you have aptbackup or pkgbackup(the better one) you can get them back

Will my game data and highscores remain as such?
And can i do a shift + update instead of a shift + restore with the custom firmware?

you backup to save game data and high scores, then after it restores you choose the backup you made, you will not have the apps you had in cydia unless you use one of the two apps in cydia that i stated, aptbackup or

to do a normal backup you right click the ipod in itunes and hit make back up

what in the firmware 3.1 is worth re jailbreaking for?....i hav 3.0 jailbreak itouch already....so wats the point of jailbreaking again?

this is a question...im not flaming or anything XD btw thank for the chance to jailbreak 3.1

if you have a 1g, there is nothing but the loading after you turn the ipod on is faster and you can use the features for itunes 9, thats about it

Ur a genious

Thanks it work!!!!!!!!!!
Ur a genious

Did you have 3.1.1 installed on your device?

i totally don't understand . what is this topic talking about ?

You MUST, do the QuickFreedom method, otherwise you will get a 1603/1604/1600.

Does not work for me ............. Comon Greenpois0n come out.. Well im good for another day or so because i just bought 3 apps because i was getting tired of waiting

You MUST, do the QuickFreedom method, otherwise you will get a 1603/1604/1600.

no you DONT, some people get that error some dont, if you do you use quickfreedom, if you dont take the eaiser method, and from what i hear people are getting the error msgs when they put it in DFU mode, which you are NOT supposed to do

You MUST, do the QuickFreedom method, otherwise you will get a 1603/1604/1600.

I know you like to have your glory and all, but NOPE! That's not true, sorry buddy

I know you like to have your glory and all, but NOPE! That's not true, sorry buddy
Lol, I never knew that.

what the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had 3.0 jailbreak

followed the whole method, installed libusb, gave it my 2.1 firmware
put it in DFU and let it do its thing
then shift and restored in itunes and gave it 3.1.1

installed fine
but NO CYDIA OR ICY

what do i do
------------------double post merged------------------
lmaoooo nevermind
was using restore firmware instead of custom

is this method tethered or untethered? is the result the same as a redsnow JB?

It is untethered.

do you actually need quickfreedom to do this or can you just go to itunes and shift click restore to custom 3.1.1? ive heard that you can just shift click restore in itunes without any other software.

I'll say this one time and this is the last time

People please understand, DO NOT PUT IT IN DFU MODE OK, put it in restore or recovery mode (basically the same thing) IF YOU PUT IT IN DFU MODE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR, I DONT CARE WHAT A RANDOM PERSON TOLD YOU TO DO, don't do it, ok

if u used that quickfreedom thing then yes you use DFU, if you are getting 16xx errors take it out of DFU, very simple

Did you have 3.1.1 installed on your device?

No i had a 2G iTouch 3.0 unjailbroken and its working just fine
Now i have a 3.1.1 jailbroken itouch 2G

im testing this right now, its most of the way done, i will update how it went. just for the record i got the custum firmware from my cousin on a mac and im just restoring flat out to the custom firmware, lets see how it goes

EDIT: worked perfectly! thank you for the tutorial!

if u used that quickfreedom thing then yes you use DFU, if you are getting 16xx errors take it out of DFU, very simple

so lets say if you dont want to use quickfreedom, then it will work the same in recovery mode, right?

just get the custom firmware, plug in your ipod and restore, done. lol it worked for me

sounds simple

Thank you now spread what you have learned so we can decrease the 16xx error threads

I want jailbreak 3rd g ipodtouch?????????? helpppp

No, you have to wait like everyone else

So I can jailbreak by putting my ipod into restore mode, then shift + restore on iTunes with the custom firmware (If I do not wish to use QuickFreedom) Correct?

So I can jailbreak by putting my ipod into restore mode, then shift + restore on iTunes with the custom firmware (If I do not wish to use QuickFreedom) Correct?

yup you can but you need 3.0 already jailbroken first

I have 27 Ipa's that I put into my library and tried syncing. It wouldn't let me sync then due to some code error.

Hi all..welcome me to Apple and iPod Touch.
I recently purchased iPod touch 2G revised or updated version. I connected to iTunes and got a message that new software update is available. Did that update, now my about shows firmware as 3.1.1
Now, I am sure I should jailbreak. Following this tutorial, will I be able to JB?
I am a total noob, so what is the custom firmware I require? Where can I find it. Please help, or point me to the place where I can find all the information required.

T i A

To anyone who has done this when there device was on non-jailbroken 3.1.1 firmware, Is this really worth it? Does Cydia, Winterboard ect work properly?

I bought a 2G touch a few weejs ago, had it jailbroken, then updated to 3.1.1. I then lost my jailbreak, then finally this came out, did it, now I am jailbroken. LOL

Winterboard was installed and is working, Cydia works, uninstalled Icy. Syncs nice with Apple, so far so good.

Have just got a Itouch 2g 8gb had it about a week.
So far I have managed to jailbreak 3.0FW.
iTunes keeps asking me to upgrade to 3.1.1 instead... When I upgrade the jailbreak isn't there anymore... In a sence that it is trapped again.
I hear redsn0w is the best jailbreak so that's what I used to unlock my 3.0.
I can't find a release of 3.1.1 on redsn0w.
Anyone know if there has been a release yet or inform me of any similar programs out there.
(don't worry is this site doesn't allow links. I can use google =))

Listen everyone... stop freaking out.

This is NOT anything like greenpois0n. All this is is a way to jailbreak 3.1 that was previously at another firmware on Windows.

You WILL NOT be able to use this method if your ipod came with 3.1 pre-installed. Period. Case closed.

You cannot downgrade a pre-installed 3.1(.1) 8gb "2.5 gen" iPod Touch and currently, there is absolutely no way to downgrade/jailbreak it.

You WILL have to wait for greenpois0n.

hiii guys ..... have my ipod 8 gb 2 g on firmware 3.0

hesitated about jailbreaking to 3.1 with this method .... i wanna wait red snowwww

what do u suggest doing this method with no diffrence with redsnow .... or just wait redsnow ???????

thanks for the info and clarification. What firmware does an iPod touch 2g revised or updated version have? I believe it should be 3.0, because I was asked to update the software to 3.1 after I connected to iTunes. So, this shows, my iPod doesnt came with 3.1 installed. Am I right?

If yes, does this tut work for me.

I am ready with all pre-requisites, just need to get a confirmation from you experts and continue.

What if I am on 2.2.1 still?

Will I be able to jailbreak to 3.1.1, because as far as I know, I can't change to 3.0 anymore since iTunes only offers to update to 3.1

How is this NOT anything like greenpoison? The only difference is that GP can jailbreak all ipod touches. When all said and done, once the device is jailbroken, all features will be the same.

what version of itunes do you need for this? will 9.01 work?

Any version works.

just get the custom firmware, plug in your ipod and restore, done. lol it worked for me

what FW were you running before the JB? And what version of iTunes?

I tried this on my 3.1.1 (non jailbroken) 2nd Gen device and it worked. Thank you wyndwarrior :)

I cannot get the white screen. Quickfreedom still says please put iPod into dfu mode...I only get black screen

Worked flawlessly and so far all my apps are working right. Thanks.

Sorry, but you are wrong.

This tutorial does not do the same thing as greenpois0n. If you have an iPod Touch 2G that came pre-installed with the 3.1 firmware, this tutorial will not work for you, but greenpois0n will, when it is released.

Please do not contradict me when you do not know what you are talking about.

I tried this on my 3.1.1 (non jailbroken) 2nd Gen device and it worked. Thank you wyndwarrior :)
You are confusing other members. I would ask you to please stop. If this tutorial worked for you, then your iPod Touch did not come with 3.1 installed.

^ I never once said that my iPod came with 3.1.1, It's running on it.

hey everyone.. i been lurking on this site since i bought my 2g ipod touch.. just wanted to give you an idea of whats going on with this "jailbreak".. from my experience.

First off.. It worked very well an easy to do.. even for me who is not very cpu smart i guess. I had this working off and on for almost 2 days.

BUT.. after about an hour the whole thing crashes and i have to start over. Now somtimes i can just shit click and go right back to my custom 3.1.1 and it will work no prob.. but other times i have to go back to 3.0 and redsnow all over again. So i figured i would try it one more time.. Now i cannot restore for nothing.. no 3.0 no 3.1.1 no custom 3.1.1..
So i just thought id share my story.. I have no idea how to restore my ipod now so as of now i have a useless hunk of metal.. if anyone has any ideas im up to listen to anything..
anyway thanks to everyone who take the time to post all this stuff for us noobs.

Hey guys, I have a Ipod touch 2g 3.0 jailbroken, will I lose my apps and themes and all the info if I do this new jailbreak??

Hey guys, I have a Ipod touch 2g 3.0 jailbroken, will I lose my apps and themes and all the info if I do this new jailbreak??

yes because its a restore, which deletes everything, not an update

Worked for me

Thanks

I tried it on my gfs 3.1.1 second gen (came with 2.0). It does work. When you get it into dfu mode click pre jailbreak and then after that do shift restore in itunes. Pretty simple.

No for ipod touch 2g came with 3.1 out of the box,right?

Well, my device is jailbroken, but why does Icy keep popping up? I remove it, but once I go back into Cydia, Icy shows up on my screen. Anybody knoiw why?

hiii guys ..... have my ipod 8 gb 2 g on firmware 3.0

hesitated about jailbreaking to 3.1 with this method .... i wanna wait red snowwww

what do u suggest doing this method with no diffrence with redsnow .... or just wait redsnow ???????

can anybody answer me plz

or you can just get a custom firmaware and hit shift+restore while you are on 3.0 jailbroken
DO NOT PUT IT IN DFU IF U DO THIS

but if you like extra steps you can take them, you may need the exercise
Works like a charm, thanks! :D

thanks

Any idea why Icy keeps popping back up on my springboard? I uninstall it using Cydelete, but when I go back into Cydia, I get Icy again.

Because it's a quality rip dev product :p

I'd cruise through the Cydia/Icy forum if I was you as I'm sure I've seen the answer in there but I can't remember what it was and I don't have the time to go and fish it out of there for you right now.

uninstall it through cydia dont uninstall it using cydelete

uninstall it through cydia dont uninstall it using cydelete

This way did not work for me.

I deleted it using SSH, thanks guys!

It worked perfectly for me. I went from 3.1.1 regular straight to 3.1.1 jailbroken with very little effort. Just follow the instructions exactly and it's easy.

Yeah, took me a couple times, but it worked like a charm. The only glitch that I ran into was every time I would go into Cydia, I would get the Icy icon, even after I deleted it. But, I went through SSH and deleted it that way, problem solved. I am jailbroken and happier then pigs in shit.

the only problem i got was that itunes froze while my ipt was restoring.
tried it a 2nd time and it worked.

Sick. Works perfectely. Thanks man.

I have downloaded all the necessary files and ready to give it a shot. One more confusing is, in the first page, under step no.11 what does the below line means?
once it is done doing its thing you can open iTunes and SHIFT+CLICK+RESTORE and browse for your copy of the 3.1.1 custom firmware
From a website I have downloaded the necessary firmware, 2.1.1, 3.0 and 3.1
What exactly is a custom firmware? Can I use the 3.1.1 firmware from apple downloads?

You're kidding right? The custom firmware "is" the jailbroken firmware. It's the whole point of jailbreaking. What he means is get a jailbroken (custom) firmware that was created by someone on a mac to use this method. Using quickfreedom allows us to place the jailbroken (custom) firmware on to the ipod touch. The 3.1.1. from Apple is the original unjailbroken version and will not work for this. Whenever someone mentions "custom" firmware weather it's an ipod, PSP, or DS it means it's hacked.

thanks for the clarification. having tough time getting the white screen after DFU. Any other tips or tricks for it?

You don't need dfu. I did the restore successfully without going into dfu.

^^ great.
When using quickfreedom, did the DFU instructions, Status bar showed iPod connected in DFU mode. Pre-Jailbreak started automatically. But couldnt get the white screen. Tried unplug/replug, same.
But iTunes opened and showed iPod in recovery mode. Tried restoring 3.1.1 custom, got 1601.
Tried downgrading to 3.0, same 1601.

How did you do without DFU? DId you use quickfreedom?

ok i did it a different way...will it still work....i clicked already jailbreak...then i went into recovery mode and shift restore the 3.1.1

I just plugged in my iPod normally and shift+click+restore to the custom 3.1.1

As many ppl encountered, I got all sorts of number errors. Finally iPod stuck in recovery mode. So, did a normal restore, but iTunes gave an option to update to latest OS 3.1.2
Immediately cancelled it, shift+restore to the 3.1.1 OS. Success!!!
Restored my iPod using backup and now syncing back all the appz, music and vdoz.

Once this is done, will try the above step. Direct update to custom firmware.

Will keep posted.

But to restore to the custom 3.1.1 you gotta have 3.0 jailbroken first

why did the mods give him a "Yellow Flag"???

I think that at first he had a link to firmware downloads.

The restore is taking a while for me. Is that normal?

ok guys..an update from my end.
I beleive my iPod came with 3.1 or 3.1.1. I tried all steps, all firmwares, multiple reboots, dfu's, recover's, 9.0, 9.0.1, 8.2, XP, Win 7..all in vain

Nothing seem to work. If I downgrade to 2.1.1 as suggested in one blog, I get error 20 both in 9.0.1 Win 7 and 8.2 XP.

If I downgrade to 3.0, get 1601.

Tried multiple USB ports, all whatevr can be done. I give up.

Lets wait for an official release.
