[Fumo]

In this guide you'll learn how to Jailbreak your Ipod touch​

What is Jailbreaking?

Jailbreaking your Ipod touch basically means your giving yourself access to many paid for applications, ilegal applications, turned down games or potentially new apps for your Ipod. It's done at your own risk but currently the Dev team are perfecting It for there Community to enjoy, one being me [/COLOR]

Benifits

New themes
New skins/icons
New applications/unreleased applications
Dtunes - Access to free mp3 and video tracks, basically Itunes renamed

How to Jailbreak your Ipod

The best Jailbreak application currently would be quickpwn which can be found @ http://www.quickpwn.com/ Currently there arn't many working 2nd gen Jailbreak applications. Firstly you need to find your Firmware, If you've done all the Ipod Updates up to today yours is 2.2.1 but if you haven't It's likely 2.2.

Download the Ipod Jailbreak Firmware 2.2.1 - Once downloaded extract and run Jailbreak - With the Pinapple Logo.

Make sure your Ipod is connected via the USP cable before you open the program.[/COLOR]

Next locate your firmware file, which should be 2.2.1

Once your restoring your Firmware with the firmware 2.2.1 this process will take around 5minutes. Next stage it will ask you to locate both Bootloader files that came with the Quickpwn folder which can be found together. Locate and browse for them. Once found both click okay. If a green arrow appears on the Ipod the correct files we're located.

Next click Add Cydia - Cydia is basically the Jailbreak application which from Wi-fi gives your access to thousands of new features. Also add the Installer, this is for free games.

Your Ipod will go into recovery mode once complete for around 5minutes, Leave and don't unplug from the usb!

Leave your Ipod to jailbreak and wait around 5-10minutes.

Example of Cydia:

Safety! Must read

Don't ever do a Ipod Update from Itunes again, This will scan for ilegal applications and If caught your Ipod will be froze.
Don't let them scan your Itunes also, You can sync stuff but don't update

This might be a great guide, but I can't read it. Never use dark colors as text in a guide. Change the colors to either white or some form of neon.

[Fumo]

Yes It does now.

With the exception of a few spelling errors, it's an overall great guide. Simple, but informative. The pictures also help.

Thanks I'll add more guides

This guide is way too simple, explain the holding home for 30 second, etc. It'll be very helpful for beginners, this can be YouTubed easily and much easier if you just YouTube it, maybe a better topic will help more people. 6/10.

I've had a Ipod Touch 8g for about a year now and I've always wondered about this. Does it only work on 2nd generation?

When you have done the Jailbreaking Process You should also add the source: cydia.hackulo.us This allows you to Install Installous, in which you can get Free apps from the Appstore.
