I have a 1st Gen 32Gb Touch and I just bought the firmware. Practically when itunes starts to restore the iPod.. it freezes it.. and it takes along time.. Ive waited like 20mins for it to restore. Then obviously theres something wrong. Then it a error code of 6 came out.. and well Im stuck. anyone help? Ive tried restarting the computer, tried different USB ports and even re-installing iTunes. Doesnt work at all. Help anyone?

well ive personally never had this problem and ive jailbroken 3 times, 2 times on mine, 1 on a friends, but my assumption is that apple might have installed a thing inside, possibly a killswitch, to make it so u arnt allowed to jailbreak. my suggestion is to make it rain again, dont touch a thing, let it do what its got to do, and then hopefully it will fix, otherwise u can try to directly download cydia from the internet, if that works idk...

I used iTunes 8.0+... when I used 9.01 it had many problems. After hearing that I downgraded to 8.0+ and the jailbreak went fine.

What I've read is that you have to run BlackRain each time you reboot because it's a tethered JB on Touches that are produced after Oct 2009. I JBd my GFs touch, and the same thing happened when it rebooted. All you have to do is run BlackRain again, and it will come up fine. You only have to do this after you've shut the power off. Apparently the same thing holds true for new 3GS iPhones too. The dev team is working a solution...
