How to Update iPod Touch to Firmware 2.0 for Free
Apple has pushed the new iPod Touch Firmware 2.0 to iTunes. All iPod Touch users can upgrade to this latest firmware by paying a one-time fee of $9.25.
iPhone users, however, get to upgrade to firmware 2.0 absolutely free of cost. As I find this kind of unfair on part of Apple to charge only iPod Touch users, so I am going to help you upgrade iPod Touch to firmware 2.0 absolutely for free.
If you want to have an updated iPod Touch 2.0 for free, then just follow the steps below:
- Download iTunes 7.7 from Here.
- Hold Shift and click Restore.
- Select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
- Enjoy!
The iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw firmware can be downloaded from any of the mirrors below. It is the complete stable and final iPod Touch Firmware 2.0 (5A347) and has been checked and tested.

Once you download the firmware locally on your PC, follow the steps above to update iPod Touch to Firmware 2.0.
