Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

An iPod Touch
iTunes

Step1

To do this, first have the firmware 1.1.1 to your desktop, download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V7H8X2QQ

Step2

Now, put your iPod in DFU mode. Connect the iPod to iTunes. Hold down both the top button and home button (the round one). When the "Slide to power off" slider appears, just ignore it. When you get to the Apple sign, release the top button but still hold the home button until your iPod reconnects to iTunes. Once it appears in iTunes, release all buttons.

Step3

Once you're in recovery mode, you'll only have one option in iTunes, "restore". Option click (Macs) or Shift-click (PCs) "Restore" and grab the 1.1.1 Firmware on your desktop. Let it download and continue onto Jailbreaking your iPod touch!

You are not the only one who has reported this, I had this problem as well, and to be honest, I can't recall how I got around it. But I'll try to help you.

What version is your iTunes? Are you using a Mac or PC?
Try this: completely exit out of iTunes before you put the iPod into DFU mode, then once it's in DFU mode, connect it.

Let me know how this works, I have a few more methods to try. Sorry that this isn't going as planned, I'll research this.
