It is not easy, but it is possible. I still recommend waiting for some program from The Dev Team.
We take no responsibility. Please read everything before you try this…
Downloads:
Firmware 2.1.1 Firmware 2.2.1 Xpwn iRecovery Boot helper Rslite – when you extract it, install the application libusb (it is in iRecovery folder) on this folder. In case of something happen, restart the PC in Safe Mode and uninstall libusb.
If you are on Vista, when you install libusb, press the right button, then proprieties and put it in Compatibility WinXP Service Pack 2
Process:
1.Extract everything in a folder in c:\JB (it is easier)
2.Copy the rslite folder “firmware bundles” to “xpwn” folder.
3.Copy the Firmware 2.2.1 to “xpwn” folder and rename it to “OriginalFW.ipsw” (if in your PC does not appear the extension, just rename to “OriginalFW”)
4.Go to “Start”, then Execute…, then write “cmd” and press enter
5.Write “cd C:\JB\XPwn-0.5.7-win32” and press enter
6.Write “ipsw OriginalFW.ipsw patchedFW.ipsw -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar” and press enter. It will take a while. When it is back to normal line of command and it is possible to write, close the cmd.
7.Now on the xpwn folder there is a file called “patchedFW.ipsw”. Rename it to patchedFW.zip and open it with Winrar. Find the .dfu file that starts with iBSS and a .img3 file that starts with iBoot and extract both to “iRecovery” folder. Rename it back to “patchedFW.ipsw”.
8.Rename both files that you extracted to: “iBSS221pwn.dfu” and “iBoot221pwn.img3”
9.Open Firmware 2.1.1 with Winrar (same process) and find the iBSS, extract to “iRecovery” folder and rename it to “iBSS211.dfu”
10.Turn on your iPod Touch (if it is off)
11.Connect it to the PC.
12.Put it in DFU mode
13.Open cmd again. Type “cd C:\JB\iRecovery”
14.Type “irecovery -f iBSS211.dfu”. Close cmd and open another.
15.Disconnect the iPod, wait some seconds, connect it again.
16.Now write all t he following commands separately (write one, press enter, write other, press enter…)
“cd C:\JB\iRecovery\”
“irecovery -s” (ps: will appear iPhone$ and you will write the commands in front of that).
17.“arm7_stop”
“mw 0×9000000 0xe59f3014″
“mw 0×9000004 0xe3a02a02″
“mw 0×9000008 0xe1c320b0″
“mw 0×900000c 0xe3e02000″
“mw 0×9000010 0xe2833c9d”
“mw 0×9000014 0xe58326c0″
“mw 0×9000018 0xeafffffe”
“mw 0×900001c 0×2200f300″
“arm7_go”
“arm7_stop”
18.Open a new cmd and type “cd C:\JB\ircovery\” and after “recovery -f iBSS221pwn.dfu”. Close the cmd.
19.Open iTunes and it will say that iPod Touch is in “recovery”.
20.Hold SHIFT and press “restore” (at the same time). Go to xpwn folder, select “patchedFW.ipws” file. Do restore.
21.Your iPod will stay with black screen and will not be recognized by the PC, neither turn on or nothing, that is normal. Just relax.
22.Go to the folder were you extracted the “boot helper”. Over there there is a file called “boot.bat”. Open it.
Open the Task Manager and go to Processes tab
23.Kill “ipodservice.exe” and “AppleMobileService.exe” and rapidly go to the prompt where you opend “boot.bat”, press enter and hold home+power. When it says to release the power button, release it. But when it says to release the home button, stay pressing it, until the PC make a noise showing that everything is ok. If it remains a unknown device, do it again until it is right.
24.Follow the instructions that appear. Disconnect the iPod from the PC and connect it. When the white screen appear press enter.
25.Type “arm7_go” and after “arm7_stop” then press CTRL + C and put “n”, press enter.
26.Now type “go” and after CTRL + C and “n” again.
27.Your iPod Touch should do the boot, with Cydia and everything.
Tutorial made by Arthur and Caio and translated by iPodTouched.net
The iPhone Dev-Team has released an unsupported version of the upcoming 2G iPod touch jailbreak, dubbed “redsn0w.” Available at redsn0w.com, the jailbreak is Mac-only and does not include a GUI. Because the process is “tethered” and involves using the command-line, the Dev-Team cautions that only experienced users attempt the jailbreak. Furthermore, they will not be providing any support on their blog.
If you’re willing to attempt the jailbreak be sure to read the instructions first. If it seems too difficult, we advise waiting for a supported release.
I suggest to wait. I think we will have a safe way of jailbreaking iPod Touch 2G soon or, at least, a guide.
I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to believe that its still taking this long to release a jailbreak for the 2nd generation iPod Touch. There are cracks for literally every other device and for some reason, not for this one. My poor friend Jeff doesn’t have an iPhone, and therefore can’t enjoy the wonderful world of cracked applications that we so often hang out on. Please comment on this post if you hear of anything new regarding this topic… for Jeff’s sake.
Here’s a bit of info that I found regarding the highly sought after jailbreak, codenamed ‘redsn0w’.
“2G iPod Touch jailbreak
The iPhone-Dev team has relased a video of 2G iPod Touch jailbreak code named ‘redsn0w’
Update 1: Here is the first screenshot of a jailbroken iPod Touch 2G. Right now the jailbreak process is far too manual to be useful to most people. But this is a first step (well, second step if you include the initial exploit).
When we announced yellowsn0w, we made the mistake of giving an ETA for its release…and that really clobbered the last day of 2008 for us. So we won’t be issuing a formal ETA for the ipt2G jailbreak. But we are putting a lot of energy into it.”
