The State of the iTouch Jailbreak

No news to report yet but since I'm being bombarded by email, here's a status report:
iPhuc. Recompiled and working.
Recovery mode. Achieved both by hand and by software. The old restore commands do not work. iTouch uses a new restore protocol. Instead of pushing data from iTunes, the iTouch pulls data via request. It used to be that iTunes sent a request, and the iPhone returned results. Now iTunes starts a restore mode and waits for requests from the iTouch and serves the requested data.
File read/write from disk. Achieved. Pretty much all the normal inside-jail stuff works.
File system mount. Not there yet.
GRestore. Partial success.
RAM disk decryption. Not yet. No luck yet on finding the key, which may be getting served from Apple.
Shell mode. Maybe.
Normal mode debug access working
State. Arminius: Cranky; Pumpkin, iE_gU, Kroo, Roxfan, BloomFilter: Exhausted. Martyn: Bits of his ipod scattered about his workbench. Me: Frustrated. Jailbreak seems increasingly unlikely at this point.
