I am currently on jailbroken firmware 4.3.2 on my Ipod touch 4G and need to restore it, so that its not jailbroken anymore since I am taking it to the Apple store for repair.

I followed the steps on "How to restore to same firmware" video and it says that the Tiny Umbrella will list my firmware version after I save SHSH(whatever that is). But it doesn't list my firmware! In fact it lists 4.3.3! What do I do now? Is it even important to use Tiny Umbrella at all? What is it doing?

So what you're saying is, though I am on 4.3.2, I should do exactly as the video suggests, select 4.3.3 in Tiny Umbrella, and restore it to 4.3.3?

What is Tiny Umbrella doing anyways? Will it help me restore my iPod back to the jailbroken version in the future?

I think I get it. But lets say, Apple just give me a new iPod for my old one and it has 4.3.5. Then will I be able to switch back to 4.3.3, the way it was(jailbroken)?

"tethered jailbreak".. no idea what that even means :D

Anyhoo.. I'll give the 4.3.3 restore a try. I am looking to get my iPod exchanged all together and obviously do not want to let them know I jailbroke it at some point. The battery life on mine has really really taken a dip. 30 mins on angry birds and it hits around 50-60%. And i bought it like 11 months ago. Do I have a case here?

P.S. If this restore and exchange thing goes through, expect a sincere donation. Then you can get a better font than Comic Sans MS (at the top) XD

Thank you good sir.. btw, all this time I am thinking you are in some way owner of this website. Either way, great job and lets see how this goes!

I can swear I saw Comic Sans at the top a few mins back.. Damnit.

Every time I reboot the device.. hmm.. meaning every time I turn it on.. Doesn't sound so bad, considering I rarely turn it off :D

So I'll come back to this website for the tethered jailbreak info I get the 4.3.5 iPod. Lets hope I do get it. Time to try the 4.3.3 restore. Wish me luck.

When do I stop the TSS Server?! :D I am getting that sign on my iPod of that restore which tells you to connect to iTunes to get started, like when i got it brand new.

after* the* restore..

UPDATE: Okay.. I have reasons to believe it has been done! I don't see Cydia or anything anymore and it looks like its brand new.. Except the shitty battery ofcourse. Time to take it to the Apple Store!

Trying to reinstall a few games I actually purchased using my credit card by going in the "Purchased" section in "Updates" in the app store. I see nothing.. Are my genuine purchases gone for good or something? Because I know I have none on my computer. I was hoping I could re-download them since Apple now miraculously remembers which apps you purchased and all.

I am logged in! Even tried restarting the device! What the hell Apple?!

As I go into the "Purchased" section.. It just keeps loading for an eternity!

its making me download the new iTunes.. sigh.. brb

oh wait.. It finally showed up in my iPod! F U new iTunes!

So I went to the Apple store and I was SURE I had a case. Again tested the thing in the morning.. 1.5 hours of angry birds and 1 hour of youtube gave me the 20% battery notification. (I am sure it was WAY better than this.. I have wasted 9 hours straight on this thing at my work several times :D)

So.. they updated my iPod to 4.3.5 and gave me "Thank you, come again". So now I have to see if the update which was supposed to fix some security issue, fixes my battery life. "Maybe the apps I run are compatible with 4.3.5 but not 4.3.3".. Fuck Apple.. Seriously

will try one more time.. Today I did not really let my frustration out on the guy as I did on the internet forum (story of my life). But I will lay out my point next time. He did tell me to try again after "battery calibration".. that would be charging completely after full drainage.. something I already do almost everyday.

this is my ONLY apple product :D

SUCCESS! GOT IT REPLACED! THANKS LUKE!

I headed straight for the Donate button but halted right there when I read paypal! My dad had a horror story with them.. Can't trust those bastards. Any other way? (P.S.: being unemployed will limit my donation to being minuscule but whatever helps :D)

My dad tried sending me money from Pakistan and got it info stolen somehow in-case you were wondering. But then I don't remember if it was paypal.. Can't be too careful with this shit though.

damn man.. paypal scares me shitless.. i have read so much about them. I'll figure something out or finally give in.

Could you direct me to the steps to get it back to jailbroken 4.3.3? I followed the restore steps as mentioned here and used tinyumbrella etc. But mind you, this is a different ipod.

i saved the 4.3.3 shsh I believe when un-jailbreaking my previous ipod yes.

i don't get it.. i am on 4.3.5 right now.. i saved 4.3.3 from my previous device.. so i am screwed?

opened up Redsnow and don't even see "save shsh".. it gives me a browse button..

I realize that 4.3.5 has tethered jailbreak.. but do we have any idea when untethered will be out? any estimate?

I am now thinking you wrote redsnow by mistake.. maybe you meant tinyumbrella.. i opened it, tried saving SHSH for the new device.. it doesn't save anything.. And something tells me thats not good.

I'll wait for the 4.3.5 jailbreak I suppose.. I am guessing tethered jailbreak will really piss me off whenever I run out of battery. :)

ah yes, ios5! lets wait for that.. for now I have apps I actually purchased from the apple store before I knew about jailbreaking.

ermmm.. is this website claiming that the jailbreak is untethered? http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=16349

wow I need to read things.. nevermind :D
