iPod Touch Firmware 2.0 Leaked?

Those of you on the iPod Touch side of things, you up for a little adventure that may or may not be completely kosher with Apple? Word on the street is that they inadvertently leaked Firmware 2.0 for the iPod Touch this morning, sans $10 fee. Oopsie! While a number of people claimed the update turfed their Touches, at least one person has claimed that doing it from a PC bricked the device, while doing it from a Mac restore worked fine. For the majority however it seems to have “work[ed] like a dream” and App Store programs have been installed and worked like a charm.

As you might expect, the link to the leaked firmware is throwing a 404 now, there’s the chance that your Google-Fu might be able to locate “iPod1,1_2.0_5A345_Restore.ipsw” somewhere out there, yeah?

Check the source link for some a larger image and some direct screen caps.

    Installing said 2.0 firmware right now. Put my iPod in setup mode or whatever it’s called. (Holding power and home until it shuts off, then hooking it up holding home until you get the picture of the cable.)

    Currently restoring the software. Will post (if I remember) if it worked. I clicked SHIFT+RESTORE and chose the firmware. Don’t know if that’ll be relevant.

    We’ll see I guess…

    Update: Seems to work fine. Took about 10 minutes. Restarted, iTunes let me name it etc… Just tested the apps. The big thing seemed to be YouTube not working. Loaded it picked a vid, it worked. Safari works. Weather works.

    This was from 1.1.1. Have no idea if that makes any difference.
