[WINDOWS] Getting out of the Recovery Mode Problem [SOLUTION]

[jamil_d]

Tired of these threads. Hope this works. Updated 03/02/2009. [March 2]. Message to Moderators: Please change the title thread to "[WINDOWS & MAC] Getting out of the Recovery Mode Problem [SOLUTION]"

Prerequisites:
-2.1.1 Firmware [for the iBSS211]
-iBSS211.dfu in iRecovery Directory. Read a tutorial to get this.
-iRecovery
-An iPod touch in Recovery Mode and cannot restore
-An original firmware to restore to

Step 1: Put your iPod touch in DFU mode, plug into computer (not neccesarily in that order)

Windows:

iRecovery -f iBSS211.dfu

Unplug and Replug your iPod, the screen becomes white

iRecovery -s
setenv boot-path /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/kernelcache.s5l8720x

Mac [NEW]:

./rslite
!iBSS211.dfu

setenv boot-path /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/kernelcache.s5l8720x

BOTH:
And then Restore to 2.2.1. That's it. Thanks to gojohnnyboi for correcting my saveenv error in one of my previous posts. If there are any errors or ommissions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks. Really helped me.

For mac users:

Start rslite, type

!iBSS211.dfu

the screen becomes white

type

setenv boot-path /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/kernelcache.s5l8720x

reconnect your iPod (I had to do that)

than restore to 2.2.1

When I open up rslite, i get an error...:

I think after typing !iBSS211.dfu, you have to unplug and replug your iPod touch.

No, you don't. You only have to do that in windows, not on a mac!

Okay, thanks, editing post. Sorry, I rarely use my mac for jailbreaking, and know little about rslite.

[Ruamrudee]

is this only for semi-jailbreak?

[jamil_d]

It's for any way that you got your iPod in recovery mode. Most common way of people doing this is trying the semi-tethered

My ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode after trying semi-tethered jailbreak and i have tried many things to get it out. I followed all your instructions and after updating to 2.2.1 it is still stuck in recovery. Here is what I did:

Also, did it in dfu mode, recovery mode didnt turn the screen white.
