I had to go to another computer my iPod had never been on and restore it to 1,1,4. Then I used ziphone 2.5 jailbreak only option. The keyboard freeze stopped after that.

I also deleted all backups by going to Preferencess/Sync/ in the iTunes settings.

-Delete any older backups of your ipod from with itunes.

-Do the upgrade or restore to 1.1.4 in tunes, let it finish....

- When it gets to the part in itunes where it says new ipod detected, give it a new name, etc...DONT, just press eject, and close itunes.

- Run ziphone2.5, and do the "jailbreak"option. let it do its thing, itunes may open up and tell ya new ipod detected in restore mode, etc, with a popup box during the jailbreak process...IGNORE IT and dont click it, let the jailbreak finish...voila...all done, no keyboard freezing anymore.

Keep in mind I'm on an 8gb ipod touch, so not sure if this goes for all ipod's or not

It worked.

BUT

i tried it 3 times in a pc where this itouch was already pluged once. and it didnt worked.

i tried it in a new pc. with new itunes. never had anything pluged and worked.

thanks a lot to the once who posted this and the one who said the thing about the new pc.

Try doing the method Posted Here:http://www.ziphone.org But DON'T click ok in the SET up as new Ipod thing. then, if ZIbri's didn't work, repeat this but with this method (posted By yours Truely:http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/...838#post369838 Trust me, it works and as long as you DON'T click ok on the name your ipod screen, no freezing. YAY!!!

I swear this works I have done it myself just spam the jailbreak button until it gets past the error. You may have to try it a few times, but just restart it and put it back into normal mode.
Props to mempf!!!

I have a 16GB Touch, and on my first install, my keyboard would freeze. What I did that worked on install #2:

Using Windows XP:

- Upgraded iTunes
- Restored to 1.1.4
- Named my iPod "Alex" (no spaces, no special characters. my original name "Alex's iPod" did)
- Unchecked automatic sync'ing of music & pictures, hit apply
- Eject iPod from iTunes, exit iTunes
- Run ZiPhone 2.5, click Jailbreak a bunch of times (to overcome 16GB BSD error during jailbreak)
- Added source to installer app before upgrading (still havent upgraded installer. will try that now)

Been working fine, no freezes

You needs to get into DFU mode and then use Ziphone advanced tab to kick it out to normal mode. Then you need to figure out what you are doing! A good start would be download the current Ziphone software and you won't have that problem. 2.6b

What exactly do you mean by keyboard freezing? Do you mean it is slow to type? Or does it freeze and go back to home screen?
