	Log in to remove this sponsored message You can use this thread to: ask questions about jailbreaking, ask for assistance with jailbreaking your device, or just discuss iPod touch/iPhone development with other iPod hackers and enthusiasts. What is jailbreaking? In a sense, jailbreaking is freeing your device from the cell Apple locked it in. A jailbroken device is like a skeleton key, where as an iPod touch/iPhone that isn't jailbroken is similar to a house key - not much to do but unlock your front door. Once your device has been jailbroken you'll be able to enjoy the many wonderful applications, from third party developers, that you wouldn't find listed in the iTunes store. You'll have the ability to create and display your own custom theme; icons, lock screen, battery icon, etc. You'll even be able to run your own homemade apps straight from your springboard! Is jailbreaking illegal? Short answer: no. Hacking the iPod touch/iPhone is not illegal. While Apple would like to make you think it is illegal, it is not, and it is impossible to get in any legal trouble for hacking either device. From the moment you purchased your device it officially became yours to do with as you wish. What is illegal is redistributing copyrighted code, such as the operating system of the iPod Touch and the iPhone, on the internet. See: Neoseeker's Terms of Use The Jailbreak Lingo Jailbreak - Modifying the iPhone/iPod touch software so that 3rd party applications can be installed and executed. Unlocking - Modifying part of the iPhone software to allow it to work with a SIM card of a cellular carrier other then the one it is exclusive to in your country. Baseband - The modem software in the iPhone. Springboard - The iPod touch/iPhone's home screen, where all of the applications are displayed. Home Button - The round button on the front side of the iPhone/iPod touch. Power Button - The oblong oval shaped button on the top of the iPhone/iPod touch. Edit: Apr 24, 09

	Jailbreaking the iPod touch redsn0w - BETA 2G f/w 2.2.1 There are numerous ways to go about jailbreaking your iPod touch, however redsn0w (by planetbeing & the iPhone-dev team) is by far the easiest and safest method out there. Official redsn0w website: http://www.redsn0w.com/ Changelog New version, 0.3, posted. Change log for v0.3 Added the Device Tree patch so should work with LogoMe v2.2 (which will be released shortly) Added fix for PPC support Change log for v0.2 Here's an updated version of redsn0w that should resolve some common issues: MobileInstallation cache is now updated rather than deleted, speeding up the first reboot time for those with many Apps already installed. System/Library/Fonts and /usr/bin are now also moved over to the User partition, getting rid of some space issues, especially when font-heavy Winterboard themes are installed. On Mac, you should now be able to directly double-click on the redsn0w binary instead of having to launch it from Terminal. Installation Just put your iPod touch into DFU and double click redsn0w.exe. No LibUSB needed! This will modify the firmware directly on your iPod. No hassle of restoring! For firmware 2.2.1. This tool does not work with 3.0 betas. QuickFreedom - 2.2.1 Jailbreaking GUI Previously known as QuickTether, QuickFreedom works on Windows XP and Vista (64-bit and Windows 7 also may work) and is the 1st "Untethered" GUI to support full jailbreak and boot logos. Official QuickFreedom website: http://quickfreedom.com/ Installation Download the latest package, then run the executable. redTool - 2.2.1 Jailbreaking Software Official redTool dev blog: http://redtool-dev.org/blog/ Requirements Windows XP SP2+/Vista SP1+ Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher LibUSB Original Apple 2.2.1 iPod touch firmware Installation For Windows XP: Download and run redTool.exe, or use the Installer Bundle to Install and run redTool. For Windows Vista: Download redTool and set redTool.exe for Administrator mode and Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. Also, set the same properties for each executable in the "redTool.Bundle\rslite\." Directory. Edit: Apr 23, 09

	No. There are open source firmwares available for other iPod models, but it depends on the iPod you have. 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano have the ability to run Rockbox and iPod Linux. All of the other iPod and iPod Nano models have yet to be cracked.

	Will the 2.2.1 upgrades you put change the firmware of my iPhone and the baseband? Or just the Firmware? Ohhh scratch it. Just for iTouch, right? >_> -------------------

	There haven't been any advancements in open source iPod firmware since the 2nd generation Nano's were released. You're just out of luck. At least you've got 120gb to fill.

	The program can't confirm that a device is connected for whatever reason, so just reconnect your iPod touch to your PC.
