    So I got the 3.1.2 firmware from iSpoons, did everything in the handy dandy sticky'd guide and all for finding my firmware, and redsn0w says that it is "unable to recognize specified ISPW". No one talks about this in any guide, ever. Or at least the ones that I've found. My IPSW is called iPod2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, I'm using redsnow v0.72 on Windows XP SP2. Halp?

    I was working off of a guide for a 3.0 jailbreak, and they said to use that software. So you're saying what I was doing was dumb? Cause there was a rather large thread with those instructions. Or was I in the wrong place? I was pointed to a video that showed it working with the same model, same firmware. I assumed I was on the right track.

    I would have just gone for blackra1n if I hadn't heard that it could potentially mess up my internet access and/or other things. Is this a random occurrence or should there be no hiccups in the jailbreak with blackra1n?

    Okay, cool. Thanks for the input, I'll just go blackra1n.
