Hey Cory, I'm not sure, but I believe we had already figured out that the 4G used the same processor. Thanks for the tip, though. Now, the thing is this probably won't help us, because the 4G nano probably uses IMG3 based encryption, which means that if we want to decrypt it, we have to run unsigned code on the hardware to use the aes engine and the gid key, which we can't do yet. I guess there's a teensy chance that the nano 4G uses the same gid key as the touch 2G, in which case we could decrypt the nano 4G firmware files with the 2G, but this is unlikely, and would be very stupid of Apple.
