iPod touch on 1.1.1 !

Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 5:46 p.m.

I just successfully downgraded my iPod touch 1G to firmware 1.1.1 !

This is the first iPod touch 1G I bought on eBay. It was on 3.1.3. After many tests, I initially thought it had a broken DFU mode. So I bought a second one already on 1.1.5.

Turns out, I was using the wrong iTunes version !

I needed EXACTLY version 7.5. No other will work. (I am using Windows XP)

I downloaded it here :

I just had to put it in DFU mode, do shift+restore in iTunes and give it the 1.1.1 IPSW.

I got the IPSW here :

Now, I have an iPod on 1.1.1 and a second one on 1.1.5.

Both jailbroken with ZiPhone.

As usual, my AppTapp repo is quite useful : apptapp.philippe97.ca

The 1.1.1 dock is so beautiful.

eh oui ! quel époque Ziphone
