IPod Touch 1st Gen. won’t restore. While in recovery Mode, I get this message The iPod “iPod” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1). My iPod was working fine before. This happen when I wanted to sync it to my music library and iTunes ask me to restore my iPod.
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/iostime… and download iPod Touch 1G iPhone OS 3.1.2 (7D11).zip (249.8 MB) shift and click restore in iTunes on computer with device plugged in. That’ll do. Edit: Glad I was able to help so many people.
Go to https://www.dropbox.com/s/my0zt6q3d3f8lf… and download iPod1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw shift and click restore. Apple killed totally the support of ipod 1, I mean, there’s literally way to restore ipod 1 normally from iTunes if you don’t have locally the IPSW file ;)
This is probably because the 1st Gen can not be upgraded to ios 10… They only way to restore it is to find some way to download the maximum version of iTunes that the first gen can accept, then it will restore. The maximum ios the 1st gen ipod can receive is OS 3.1.3.. I have no idea where or how you could safely download that version to your computer so just be careful and do some more research. Hope this was helpful!
Unfortunately that firmware isn’t the right one. I haven’t found the correct one, but you need to find something like: iPod1,1 I’m in the same boat as you, and I read in another forum that downgrading to an older version of iTunes might help. I’m not sure yet, but as soon as I know one way or the other, I’ll definitely give you an update!
To restore any .ipsw file to a device using iTunes, just put the device into Recovery Mode, then hold down the Option key when you click the “Restore” button in iTunes. iTunes will then present a standard File Open dialog, where you can navigate to and select the .ipsw file. iTunes will then restore that file to the device, instead of trying to look for it over the Internet (where it doesn’t exist, which is the issue here).
thanks you very much

You saved me. i’m tried to give it my 6 years old as a media player …
Hello. I had the same problem, so I decided to research myself a little. https://ayera.dl.sourceforge.net/project… Copy this address into your browser and wait until it downloads. If it doesn’t work, try it again, the second time worked for me.
