Yes I did, here is the procedure: Put a modern firmware (say 7.7.2) fab4.bin in the root dir of a clean USB stick. (it doesn't have to be completely empty, but it definitely should NOT contain a music library or any other media files) Disconnect everything from the Touch, NO ethernet cable. Plugin the USB stick. Plugin the power cord. You will get the spinney thingy trying to connect to mysqueezebox.com. Let it do that, after a couple minutes it will give up and you will get a screen saying you have no network connection. NOW press and hold upper left arrow. This will get you to a home menu (this one has no icons, it looks very different but it works). Select Setup->Advanced->Software Update. You will see a screen that says install from media, under that is one menu item that says Begin Update, select that. This loads the firmware and reboots. You will get the normal home menu with icons etc. Select USB Device->Eject. Take out the USB stick. What you do next depends on how you want to use the touch. If you want to use TinyLMS plugin the USB drive (or stick) with the music library and continue as normal. Let it scan the library. Then go to My Music and select the server on the Touch if it doesn't automatically connect to it. If you want to connect to LMS on another computer select Setting->Advanced->Networking->Choose Network, select either wifi or ethernet. Let it make the connection, then go to My music and select your LMS. (or mysqueezebox.com, but the whole purpose of this was to NOT connect to mysqueezebox.com) At this point you should be fully up and running.
