Connect the phone to your usb cable, turn on itunes and then press and hold the sleep/wake button (top of the phone) and the button on the front of the phone at the same time. The phone will power off, (takes about 10-15 seconds if I remember correctly) as soon as it does let go of the button on the front of the phone while still holding the sleep/wake button. Itunes should pop up a message saying that it has found a phone in restore mode (or something along those lines, I am doing this from memory and it has been a while). Once that comes up you can release the button on the phone. Click restore in iTunes to restore the phone to normal mode (this will restore your phone to 1.1.4 so if you are on an earlier version you will need to download the firmware for that version (search this site for info on where to find that) and for the earlier version you will press Shift when clicking restore and then navigate to the firmware file you are looking for. If you are just restoring to 1.1.4 you can just click the restore button and it will work.
Once the phone has been restored it will reboot and be working again as a new phone. Then search this site for ziphone. That is the latest and greatest method to jailbreak and there are plenty of threads on how to use the program.
As I said this was all from memory and someone reading this may make corrections on my wording but the basics above will work to get the phone back to being a phone.

There are several posting on here with links to the previous versions of the firmware. Just search for firmware. You can also get them on modmyifone. The rest of the instructions are the same regardless of the firmware version you use.
When you click the restore button in iTunes it will install the latest version if your running an earlier one. So to load the earlier one you just use the shift-restore option and it will open a window allowing you to pick the file you wish to install from (1.1.3 for example). Once the phone has restored with the firmware using ziphone to jailbreak it is the same process no matter which version you have.

Smile Connection Refused here is how I fixed it

I was having quite the problem as of late. After going crazy installing applications and games. I tried to move some ROMs over to my touch but i could never connect via SSH I would always get Connection refused error and it would never let me connnect. I know the touch was on the network because I could ping it but could never connect to it. This was driving me nuts as I could do it on my 8 GB but now I have a 16 so I was going insane. Then yesterday my installer stopped installing apps. I would choose something to install it would download the source, install it and then I would never see any of the apps I downloaded. Convinced it was the 1.14, but after some digging around I found a fix that solved both of these problems. “The memory space on the iPod Touch/iPhone is broken into two partitions - the first partition contains the operating system/firmware/applications and is FIXED at only 300MB. The second partition contains your media (music, videos, settings, etc.). What you need to do is free space on your first partition and/or move your applications to your second partition.” - DerekVOF from iLounge
This was how I solved the problem with the help of boss tools. Boss tools will move your apps to the second partition where there is lotsa room. I am sure this would work on a iphone as well
  1. Uninstall all installed apps. (Drag yes I know)
  2. Download Boss Tool repo source http://iphone.sleepers.net/repo.xml
  3. Run boss tool
  4. Select Free Space
  5. Move Fonts
  6. Move Ringtones
  7. Move Apps
  8. Restart device
  9. Install OpenSSH
  10. Finished
After doing all this, everything was fine! My installer worked again I was no longer getting the mind numbing connection refused error when I tried to connect via SSH.
I have a feeling SSH requires some space on the 300 MB partition when it initially connects and when it cant find any it refuses the connection
Now time to play RBI Baseball on my touch!

the servers host key was not found in the cache. You have no guarntee that the server is the computer is what i think it is.

the server rsa2 fingerprint is:
ssh-rsa ldjsldsjf 4j oiejsdnm s234jfrws;lfjss;lfjs slfj;sfj sd;f s;lfj j...(all these numbers/letters)

if i trust this host, press YES. To connect without adding host to the cache, press No. To abandon press CANCEL.

Continue connecting and add host key to the cache?

Type NES ROMs for the iPhone/iTouch on google and watch the first YouTube link. It explains everything. But I also have a question. Sorry to ask it on your reply post, but I don't know how to post my own questions. When I finally download everything and I am aboot to drag the ROMs into my iPhone folder the only thing I see is a folder containing the pictures I made. I think my PC recognises the iPhone as only a camera, yet I have songs and what not on it. What do I do?

Sweeet
I have been doing this for hours and finally found a solution. Thanks. You have to have one of those crazy programs that acutally WORKS unlike the past five I've tried that didn't work on a mac. Who knew a PC would win this battle? So far it has.
