How to Update iPod Touch (1st Gen) to Firmware 2.0 for Free

This tutorial is directed towards people who have the 1st Generation iPod Touch.
If you have one of these and you are desperately wanting to upgrade to Firmware 2.0 and above, to have the magnificent 'AppStore' but are upset about the fee of $9.25 then this is the guide for you!

Just follow the steps below and soon you will be having an updated iPod Touch 2.0 absolutely for free:

1] Download and install the latest version of iTunes

2] Hold Shift and click Restore.

3] Select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

This will upgrade your iPod Touch to firmware version 2. To get the latest version (which is not v2 any more), open iTunes and click “Update”. This will automatically update your iPod Touch to the latest version (whichever it is) for free.

The iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw firmware can be downloaded from:

Note: If you have the second generation iPod Touch then this guide is not needed as the new generation is loaded with Firmware 2.1. Enjoy :)
