Thanks to commentators I obtained the links for Ipod Touch 2.1 firmware upgrade. Ipod Touch 2.1 Upgrade contains some bug fixes and battery life yet I have not seen copy paste feature which I was expecting to see in this release.
UPDATE: Since 2.1 links are broken or not working , go to “This Link“ upgrade to 2.0 , after that just update your iPod Touch via iTunes to 2.1. Works for me and many others! See last coments.
To upgrade your ipod touch you have to have iTunes 7.7 +
Download the file > Open iTunes > Connect your Ipod Touch > Navigate to Ipod Touch and HOLD Shift Key and press Upgrade with your left mouse > Browse to the file you download and upgrade will start.
If you are Mac user HOLD Option button!
Thank you!





THANKS A LOT!!! U FRIGGIN ROCK!!!
Download speed is slow. But if it works, Well worth it.
I came up with an error. Figures.
I couldn’t get it to work either. When it eventually did download Itunes was unable to use the file.
@Paul: Worked for me just fine, what did you do? Describe Steps Please
it showed eror(5)
I did this: and HOLD Shift Key and press Upgrade with your left mouse > Browse to the file you download and upgrade will start.
but after it extracted it said: ‘The iPod could not be restored An unknown error occured (5)’
Thanks alot!!! Been looking for it for awhile

this shit doesn’t work
youtube link is down and no link on this page
some help
@matt: i removed link please read the text in bold.
Where are the 2.1 links. i found the 2.0 ones but i see nothing here.
The second like gave me error 5. Im assuming its because its the iPhone firmware (the filename says iPhone). Downloading the first one now, and the filename says iPod, so im also assuming that the people who got error 5 have downloaded the second 1 and the ppl who got it working were patient enough to download the first one first lol
@XV: I didn’t even realized until now. I removed the link and I apology’s
Just to verify, downloaded the first one (now the only one :P) and it works. Woot! Enjoy people!
i can’t find the correct link. please post it here. i got the same error(5) :((
@lupu: There are no links yet, Go to the link above and upgrade to 2.0 then just download the regular upgrade which is going to be free anyways.
And delete the upgrade you have, its probably iphone upgrade not ipod.
Thanks for the answer. I tried 3 or 4 versions of files from different sites and the same error. Right now i am at 61% downloading the files from your site. hope it works. i got an Itouch 32Gb with software 1.5 and is not jailbreaked.
i’ll post again in an hour
. 40kb/sec
everything worked smoothly. Thanks. just install 2.0 from the link above. There is no error. and then you can update to 2.1.
Thanks again live crunch

Have a nice weekend!
nice greets Punkt6
I get unknown error (1403) when I try to install any software. 2.0 or 2.1
@Ryan: Many people installed both of them, tell us what do you have on itouch and what itunes version you have
where is the link???
I get the same error as Ryan, I’m on iTunes 8.0 and my iTouch is on 1.1.5! Anybody?
i can’t find the link to download update 2,1……….plz tell me where it is..i have already the upadate 2,0
I think what you have to do is upgrade to 2.0 then from there upgrade to 2.1 after that just hope it works and make sure when updating to 2.1 to have iTunes 8. Here are some places to grab the FW:

i have already downloaded the upgarde 2,0 from livecrunch and now i downloaded the upgrade 2,1 from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/…When I was installing the upgrade 2,1 it tells error 5…what can i do?
Im looking for the 2.1 firmware, where can i find it for hte ipod touch
it says error 5 and puts my ipod in restore mode i have itunes 8 and 1.1.15 firmware on my ipodtouch pm me at khoosherman@gmail.com
Its works great, you have to upgrade to 2.0 firts, after you go with 2.1, well that’s what i did. Use itune 8 to upgrade to 2.1, just press and hold the shift bottom and them click restore with the left bottom of your mouse, after that get the file you downloaded before and that’s it. I downloaded the file in http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Remember choose ipod1_2.1
Thanks….
