LogoMe, You’re Fired!

Posted in Reviews, iPod | By AhTim @ November 22nd, 2008

LogoMe, you’re fired! I’m so happy my iPod touch 2.1 firmware like a new toy. But LogoMe make my iPod touch down with only black screen! No matter which button I press, it only stay at DFU / Recovery mode in iTunes.

If you notice, the QuickPwn tool allow you to change the boot logo during jailbreak. It change to a Pineapple logo instead of an Apple. But I don’t like the Pineapple, the logo not nice. LogoMe from Cydia installer help to change boot logo without hassle. But it does not work well in iPod touch.

iPod Touch Black Screen

Writen in LogoMe description, it can customize our boot logo without restore firmware. It require firmware iPhone 2.0.2 and above. Normally, apps available in repository are compatible between iPhone and iPod touch unless it specify.

Without any doubt, I install LogoMe into my iPod touch with customize boot logo from AhTim.com. During flashing firmware process, I’m a bit worry. It is dangerous to flash firmware directly. Unfortunately, the iPod dead (black screen) on my next reboot!! The screen has nothing (normal black blank screen) just like you can’t switch it on.

Troubleshoot iPod Black Screen

I plug it into computer with USB cable. iTunes detected an iPod in recovery mode. After seaching on Internet and try errors on iPod buttons, no solution found. Some iPod users face same problem. I suspect LogoMe is ONLY compatible with iPhone, NOT iPod touch. LogoMe developer, please kindly put a Warning Message in the description.

Finally, I have to restore and redo the hacking (QuickPWN) process. Waste my time to download whole bunch of apps and sync data again!! At least, my iPod don’t die.
