Who else here has Jailbroken there iPod Touch/iPhone?

I finally figured out a few weeks back and its brilliant, i can now play old PS1 games, customize the look of my ipod or even read the bible on the bus. All on my ipod!

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggested apps to download, my favourite would be Labrinyth. You use the iPods accelerometer to make balls go in holes, its fun...

It was the first thing I did when I took my iPod Touch out of the box. As for recommended apps:

iPhysics - Awesome physics game, add iphone.r4mon.net/repos to your sources under installer and there should be a new category under "Install" for you.

iPhone Apps - Email, weather, stocks, maps, and notes. Just add
http://repo.us.to source.

Flashlight - This makes the screen brightness at full and the screen white, I use it while I plug the high def cables in the back of my T.V.

gpSPhone - GBA emulator

psx4all PS emulator (you have this already, but just wanted to name it for others)

SIP-VoIP - VoIP on your Touch, requires a modified microphone. (Not for iPhone as of yet.)

Apollo - AIM, ICQ, MSN, .Mac instant messaging

Those are my top apps, anyone else have anything to add?

How do you exactly "jailbreak" your iphone/itouch? I'm looking into getting an iTouch, and will probably do this...

Will you be able to download software/firmware updates for the device if it's jailbroken?

No you will lose your jailbreak if you update.


Some other good apps Mallico missed:

iRadio

Finder

TTR(with the GH III mod)

MusicQuiz

Moblie RSS

Customize

Send Song

No you will lose your jailbreak if you update.

Last I heard, Apple, turned your I-thing, into a i-brick if you tried to update with the jailbreak stuff on it

Maybe not sure but ipods can never perma brick. You can always restore it.

I think it's practically impossible to brick it, even if the ipod does become unusable simply restoring it puts it back to normal.

@ploogle, you just visit jailbreakme.com on your ipod, click the download link and 20 seconds later your jailbroken. It gives you a list of hunrderds of different applications to download.

simple.as.that.

I have yet to download the iphone apps Mallico suggested so i will do that next.

Also, i havent yet been able to donwload any emulator (for ps1, gba, n64 etc) onto it yet. I tried but i needed to manually copy the folders into the ipod, which is hard because i have to unlock it. Does anyone know any jailbreak sources where i can download the games/emulator straight to my ipod?

Thanks.

Do you have a ipod or iphone cuz you don't need to unlock an ipod. Manually adding stuff to your ipod is easy as long as you have a FTP program. And if you have the latest install of installer all the emulators should be in there. Make sure you have the community sources installed.

Course i have a ipod, how else would i be able to unlock it?

I found the emultor and have downloaded it onto my ipod but im having trouble getting ROM's on there, and im not sure what a FTP prgoram is? When i say unlock i mean being able to copy stuff into it.

WinSCP is a program that allows you to view, edit, add, copy, or move the files from your computer to your iPod Touch, or vice versa.

Another question:

How do the controls for emulators work? I mean, the thing practically has no buttons. Also, do the controls feel solid?

It depends on the emulator. Heres a screenshot of how GBA looks and plays on my touch.

Jailbreak allows for so much more than just emulators. Look at this portal themed touch.

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p187/Steven4123/snap_105113.jpg

Where do you get that theme? I'd kill for that.

There are some sources you can add that let you download games:

PSX: http://psxrepo.servegame.com/

GBA http://gbarepo.servegame.com/

NES http://markmon.mine.nu:90/iphone/repo/repo.plist

I'm pretty sure they have the BIOS files too.

I put all my roms on with CuteFTP, one thing I don't think was mentioned is that the when you use an FTP program you need a username and password to get into it. The username is root and the password is alpine (maybe the other way around sorry, I don't remember exactly.)

Thank you so much I couldn't find PSX games anywhere, and they take way too long to transfer over Winscp. Now when I get my ipod back (I'm grounded right now) I shall do that thing with the stuff. Recently it got kinda ****ed up and I had to restore it, thus losing EVERYTHING. Gah, I'm never doing a pre-official-release jailbreak again.

The GBA one didnt work for me and i havent tried the others, i added it to my sources but i dont think anything has changed. :confused:

You're right Legend, it's not working right now. I looked around and found this posted on Feb. 2:

People have been going around lately trying to access the gbarepo and psx repo atwww.gbarepo.servegame.com andwww.psxrepo.servegame.com but for the past few weeks the repo has been down and the maker and owner of the repo hackeralert has been having a fundraiser to get new servers for the repository. Word on the street was that the repo would be up last week, then on monday they say it’ll be up and know they say the new server will be shipped by thursday and back up in 1-2 days after uploading the massive amount of roms prepared for the the repo. for more info check out the official website for the repo http://hackeralert.org/

So in short it should be up again this weekend. Sorry about that, I didn't know it was down.

Thanks Sinfulfate, I got it on my iPod now and I love it. I didn't even have to kill anyone, which is a bonus.

Ahh thanks for the update, i was about to lose faith with emulators. ;)

just a question, how many gigs do you need for this stuff?

I want to know if 32gigs is enough...

Do these just work on the iPhone?

Or iTouch too?

These apps are so tiny you probably won't even need half a gig.

Both.

In total the apps on my iPod Touch take up about 80MB, so nothing really.

Man, I've just gotta make an MMO and charge a monthly fee of like $5 or something...

...I've gotta get some money to get one of these!

Well jailbreaking your iPhone/iPod Touch will break the warranty but here, we can fix most things ourselves (except when it's stolen) but yeah. So I think that jailbreaking the iPod Touch or iPhone is a good idea for homebrew. Every unencrypted system is build for homebrew. APPLE ARE TWATS FOR ENCRYPTING THE NANO AND NEW IPOD CLASSIC!

Or just get a job?
No time.

They won't even know it's been jailbroken if you remove all software and the jailbreak and restore it, so your warranty is never void.

I didn't pay for a warranty anyway.

No it doesnt, as long you restore it.


Found that i have a new folder in my 'Install' menu on the installer app called iROM Info its just full of text saying they need donations before they will release the games. Oh well...

Any one know a good firmware for ipod video 5g, 30gig? The linux one isnt realy out yet, and i cant find another one to run homebrew and emulaters on.

I really want an iPod Touch, but they're just so damned expensive. I really hope they do drop the price by $100.

I now own a iPod touch, I'll have it in a few days, (Once my sister comes back from America)

Can anyone tell me how to jailbreak my iPod touch exactly?
I wish to add themes and these cool applications to it.

And what applications would you recommend to put on it?
thanks!

On your ipod visit www.jailbreakme.com, and click the link at the bottom of the page to download the installer.

There should be a download window, when it reaches 100% your ipod will reset. Unlock it again and there will be a new icon on your home screen, installer.

When you click that you will have access to hundrerds of different applications, try to experiment with them all.

My favourites are:

Labrinth
Customize
iSnake


If you cant get it to download, repeat the process. If it still wont work, try going to another wi-fi hotspot and doing it again. Some wi-fi spots dont allow you to download stuff.

What exactly do you mean by a wi-fi hot spot?
Sorry, Im quite the noob at these things. :p

Wifi hotspot is a place that has public wifi internet access.

yes but since it is most likely a new one, he will have to downgrade the firmware and shit.
Full explanation here:http://www.installerapps.com/jailbreak/

Yeah good point, if you have 1.1.1 firmware you can immediately jailbreak it, if you have 1.1.2 you will have to downgrade to 1.1.1

If you have 1.1.3 then i think you can downgrade it to 1.1.1 but im not sure.

If anyone is on 1.1.2 and needs to downgrade to 1.1.1, go here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-3932.20070927.p23dD/iPod1,1_1.1.1_3A110a_Restore.ipsw

Also, i downloaded a theme for my iTouch but i can't work out how to qctually enable it...anyone know?

You need to download the Summerboard app from installer.

Yeah good point, if you have 1.1.1 firmware you can immediately jailbreak it, if you have 1.1.2 you will have to downgrade to 1.1.1

If you have 1.1.3 then i think you can downgrade it to 1.1.1 but im not sure.

Hasn't the Jailbreak for 1.1.3 been released already?

And yes, you can downgrade 1.1.3.

Hasn't the Jailbreak for 1.1.3 been released already?

And yes, you can downgrade 1.1.3.

Yes, but you need a jailbroken 1.1.2 phone or touch.
To jailbreak 1.1.2, you need a jailbroken 1.1.1 phone or touch.
To jailbreak 1.1.1, go to jailbreakme.com on your phone or touch.
Go to installer, install oktoprep, then upgrade to 1.1.2 in iTunes.
Go HERE (http://rapidshare.com/files/72237156/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip) and download the files. Run windows.bat if you have windows or jailbreak.jar if you have a mac. After it is complete, go to installer and download BSD Subsystem version 2.0. Turn on Wifi and set ‘auto lock’ to never. Add the ModMyiFone source (http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml) to Installer. Find the 1.1.3 Dev Team Jailbreak package in Installer and then run it. Once done (about 20 mins - 50 minutes) your iPhone/iPod Touch will restart and you will be updated and jailbroken to 1.1.3.

Hope that helps the people who didn't bother to follow my link.

DO NOT:

Download the new 1.1.4 software update, if you plan on keeping you ipod jailbroken.

I haven't jailbroken it yet as I really still have no idea. :p
Im going to wait for a simpler version of 1.1.3 to be released.

Yeah, i dont think there going to change the 1.1.3 firmware so i would either upgrade 1o 1.1.4 or jailbreak it.

Simpler?

As in, just being able to click a link like you do with 1.1.3

As I know with the long complicated versions I will screw something up somewhere and it'll break. :p

Well you'll need to jailbreak it (Install OpenSSH and BSD Subsystems from the installer after), then you'll need to install Summerboard from installer.

Now from here you can either pick some themes from installer, or if you want the portal theme you'll have to jump through some hoops.

The first hoop is downloading the theme, I believe you can find it on the iPod Touch Fans (www.ipodtouchfans.com) forums. After you have it downloaded you have to access your iPod using an FTP program like WinSCP or CuteFTP.

If you're using 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 put it here: /private/var/root/library/summerboard/themes

If you're using 1.1.3 put it here: /private/var/mobile/Library/SummerBoard/Themes

Then just go to Summerboard and you should see see it in your list of themes.

Apparently the 1.1.4 jailbreak is direct from 1.1.1, but that's about all I know about it.

wow, that sounds like its going to take me a while since im such a n00b at this kind of thing.

It's actually pretty simple, this site (http://ipodtouchmaster.com/videos.html) has lots of tutorials.

I was wondering,
If I factory restored my iPod would the ipod's firmware go back to 1.1.1?

I'm not sure, what did yours come with originally? Mine had 1.1.2.

I'm not sure, what did yours come with originally? Mine had 1.1.2.

Mine came with 1.1.3 already on it, (Bought it from a Apple store)

is there a simple way to downgrade the firmware for the touch?

Yeah, I downgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 in 2-5 minutes. You can find a youtube tutorial here (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=0YUj2XQCpQE&feature=related).

Yeah but that's from 1.1.2, there's a big difference between .2 and .3, im not sure if you downgrade from 1.1.3 yet.

Just downgraded to 1.1.1 from 1.1.3
It was quite simple really.
Hurray for jail breaking. :)

I can't get the themes to work properly though. :(

ok, i downgraded to 1.1.1 and got a few apps, but i have a question. well a few. how do i get the themes to work? how can i get the new summerboard cos it says i need to be 1.1.3? where is the instant messaging application and the one which gives the updates from apple like mail, maps etc

You have to add a certain source for the apple things such as mail.

The instant messenger application is called 'apollo'
You need the BSD sub system installed.

To get the subsystem you go into the 'system' thing.

And to get apollo, go into 'all applicatons' (something like that) and downlaod it.

Make sure to install the BSD sub system first!

I have trouble downloading that but it may be my internet connection

ok I got the themes to work but I can't find Apollo. I installed that application like you said but it didn't appear and what do you need to do to get the mail apps and the multiple springboards?

ok I got the themes to work but I can't find Apollo. I installed that application like you said but it didn't appear
It won't just appear you'll have to hunt it down.
It will be under the 'All Packages' and go on Apollo.


Wait I've just thought why you probably don't have it in your install.

Before you do the above,
Go onto the category under installer called 'Sources' and install the sources which are in there, and you will be able to find the above once you've done that. :)

what do you need to do to get the mail apps springboards?

You have to add a source, You know how to do that right?
Well yeah, The source you have to add is http://applerepo.com for the mail & maps etc.
(All the files within the thing say that its for Iphone only, just ignore it, as they work perfectly on the Touch.

multiple springboards?

I don't know that myself, Due to I can never get the firmware jailbreak things to work, So I'm just staying on 1.1.1


Hope this helps. :)

I've deleted that app now since its no use to me if you cant use Hotmail. Google Maps is great though.

yeh google maps is. is the weather one any good cos to me it seems pointless lol. but look i have my house on google maps. :P

The notes feature is pretty well made but im not sure if im goign to use it. Stocks is completely pointless for me though.

I've only used the weather app once but it was fairly accurate.

yeh i got it and it is less pointless than i thought. motes is a good app when you need to jot somethin down and you dont have a pen

At the bottom of the screen it will say 'sources'
Go into sources and click on 'Edit' then 'add'

Then you just have to punch in that URL

Well to put stuff that isn't and can't be added to installer you have to download it to your PC and SSH into your iPod. It's not as complicated as it sounds.

You'll need a program like CuteFTP or WinSCP to do it though. My internet is being buggy or I'd link you to a tutorial, you'll just have to find one on Youtube.

I'm going to be gone till Tuesday probably, I'm sure one of the other iPod owners can help you if you need anything else though.

sorry I've got one last (hopefully) question. What r some other sources you guys use for your installer besides the ones already on it?

If you want to look up new sources go into the installed and go on the category 'sources' and just install all the ones in there. :)

MAN I'M GETTING PISSED AT THIS STUPID IPOD my installer app doesn't have half the things other peoples do, and every thing i try to download fails any ideas?

Oh.. Newer seen this thread. I hava Unlocked and Jailbroken iphone too. And for quite some time.

JJMAC383 Make shure you have latest installer and community sources package. I'll post my sources later.

i tried using youtube but none of the tutorials really helped... which one did you use, winscp or cuteftp?

MAN I'M GETTING PISSED AT THIS STUPID IPOD my installer app doesn't have half the things other peoples do, and every thing i try to download fails any ideas?

If it fails do either one of these 2 things -
1 - Restart the ipod, sounds simple but it does work.
2 - Make sure everything is up to date on the Installer app. (do this by going to 'sources' in the installer and in the top left it should say 'refresh')

Okay, I have now committed to getting an iTouch, and now it's a matter of raising the funds. I can cover most of it by selling my current iPod and a few unplayed PC games, and the rest is just a matter of mowing lawns and getting little bits of cash here and there.

Now, a question about jailbreaking: I heard that the most reliable (and the only method virtually impossible to brick your iPod) method to jailbreak your iPod is to point the web browser to www.jailbreakme.com and download the installer app? What methods did you guys use to jailbreak yours?

I did use that site as I purchased my ipod when it was still at firmware 1.1.1 (thats the only firmware that website can jailbreak). As you are buying your iTouch so late on the firmware will most likely be on 1.1.4

For that firmware you just have to use a simple application on your computer with the ipod connected, and wolah, finished.

The program you use is called err.. ziphone? its something like that anyway. :thumbsup:

@ploogle, just google ziphone blog and after that it's pretty straightforward but you can see a youtube video on how just a few pages back in this thread... I love my touch but it can get frustrating so try to follow the instructions to the letter and update your iPod to firmware 1.1.4 before jailbreaking at ziphone... Just get the free one don't buy the software update, and you can get ipod touches from apple return with free shipping for 50 bucks less

Yeah, I looked up ZiPhone and it looks good to go! Thanks, guys.

okay let's try again. When your buy your iPod I'd reccommond buying it return from apple I did and mine is new no scratches or anything. When you buy it if you don't get the new software (reccommonded) you'll have to update it. To update just plug iPod in,open iTunes, and it will ask Iif you want to update there are 2 choices one choice comes with 5 new apps and costs 20 bucks. The second choice doesn't have the apps but is free get that one, because you can get those apps for free if you jailbreak... Make sense any questions ploogle?

Now, I have a question about Installer.app. What's with Community Sources? I mean, I know what it is, but how does it work? Does it just automatically search more sources and add them to the list of all applications, or do you have to manually browse the apps from each source?

Dude, I have gone crazy with this thing; I've downloaded the following ebooks, all onto my single iPod touch...


LOTR trilogy
Harry Potter (all 7)
Chronicles of Narnia
The Bourne Trilogy
The Bible
The Hobbit
Halo: The Fall of Reach




lol, as if I would ever need all these in one sitting :)

There's another question...how do you get the eBooks to your iPod? :D Are they just there on Installer, or do you have to use your PC?

Nevermind, viatrophy answered all...

Wow, where did you get those ebooks? When i looked all i got was the bible and Darwins Origin Of Species. Do i need to add a source?

Lol. Those two completely contradict each other...:D So ironic.

You probably just need to add Community Sources. Unfortunately, I don't have my iTouch yet, so I can't help you much.

Anyone want to buy World in Conflict? :D

anyone want to buy gears of war on playswitch? I want beautiful katamari I'll trade straight up...no not joking wait something iPod related... It's awesome jailbreaking ftw

O anyone know where I can get a Lego builder for my iPod?

Does it just automatically search more sources and add them to the list of all applications, or do you have to manually browse the apps from each source?It just adds a bunch more sources. Its a one time thing. It wont keep updating all the newly available sources but you can manual any sources you want which is very simple.


For those with a touch you gotta get madsouls play/pause/next/voulme bar mod it looks sweet.

if you go to Iappcat (www.iappcat.com) you can make your own source. I added a bunch of ebooks on mine and downloaded them on my touch.

Okay, I'm only 3 lawn mowings away from getting my Touch.

Have any of you head about the MMO coming to the iPhone/Touch? I heard about it from a friend, and have yet to Google it.

You could just ask for a Death Star to be your tomb, on page 9, JJMAC.

Ploogle, I don't think I'll be getting the World In Conflict. Do you want to trade any games for it?

Oh. If you know how to use iAppCat, then you can add this url to your repo and send it to your iPhone/Pod:

"Flash Support Safari" is the title, so I'm assuming that's what you're looking for. :D

iappcat?

www.iappcat.com

It lets you make your own "source" for Installer.app.

that is a very cool feature. Did you get a touch yet?

hey i've been trying to create my own custom theme and i've hit a stand still... Themebuilder (an app from installer) just keeps crashing any ideas?

that is a very cool feature. Did you get a touch yet?

Nope. Still need to mow a few lawns and sell WiC. Once I get everything else taken care of, I'll sell my iPod on eBay.

Theme builder keeps crashing what do I do? Anyone know a better way to make custom Themes?

Oh, sorry. Didn't see your post. :D I was stuck on the previous page.

This (http://www.ehow.com/how_2182750_icons-backgrounds-ipod-touch-macs.html) looks pretty promising for you.

Not a clue what you're saying...this just requires that you plug your iPod into the computer and download some software. This is for Springboard, though, which in my opinion is far superior to anything else.

so how can i get more than one app in my bar? I see all these themes that have 5 or 6 different onces on the dock and i want to do it... anyone here know how?

Just hold your finger down on an app(until they start to wiggle) and you can rearrange them any way you like. Add them to the dock or add them to another page.

Im not sure if 6 will work on 1.1.4. That picture is of a 1.1.1 ipod which didn't have the wiggle feature(that came in a later firmware) so we could use Customize to add 6 apps to the dock but that doesn't work on newer ipods.

This video shows how to get 5 dock icons on 1.1.3/1.1.4.

**** **** **** **** i installed this program that messed up my ipod now i have to restore.... *tear*

I had something similar happen to me, about 3 months after I had mine it started to randomly freeze and turn off. Then it wouldn't turn on for 5-30 mins after that, and even sometimes when it turned on it would freeze during unlocking.

I had no idea what had caused it. I uninstalled all my recent updates and applications but it still happened. Eventually I just restored and it works fine.

Any idea what caused your iPod to crash? Also if you know that please state your firmware.

I can give some repos for *cough* "cured soft" *cough*.

O and I have no idea what caused it to crash I think it was a combination of apps I has a bunch that wouldn't open at all and my iPod just stopped booting and kept freezing

hey everyone guess what iphone new firmware will come to the touch but guess what i heard via Cnet? we get to pay 10 bucks for it... anyone actually gonna do it or just stay jailbroken?

I hate the way apple wants you to pay for software updates, yes if they radically changed it and labelled it as version 2 i would pay but for god sake, charging for a store to use a store to pay more? and jailbreaking rocks it works well except i have never done it to anything but my PC Games lol

WHAT???? which website? and is it the same customize already in my installer?

Customize 2.0 Beta. The one that lets you download themes straight from your touch over wifi.

Heres how to install it.
THIRD WAY-Customzie 2.0 BETA
8.1c. Go to http://customizeapp.com/
8.2c. Click Register, or if you already registered, log in and skip to part 8.4c.
8.3c. Register by entering valid information, YOU HAVE TO enter a valid serial number or else it wont work, to do this, on your iPhone/iPod Touch go to your settings app, then tap general, then tap about, and scroll down a little bit and you will see your Serial Number
8.4c. After you sign up and log in and add the source:
http://customizeapp.com/plist/installer
NOTE: Customize 2.0 BETA will not work if you didn't sign up with a valid Serial Number, If you didn't will get an error saying "Cannot Connect To Themes Server, Either Wifi Is Off Or You Did Not Register Your Device" or something like that, so don't think you can just add the source and download Customize 2.0 BETA, it wont work
8.5c. Hit The Home Button and Let It Respring

Thanks, I got Customize working on mine now.

Okay, the end of the school year came and my buyers for the games didn't cough up the cash in time, so it looks like I'm not getting an iPod Touch any time soon. :( I'll probably be getting a job soon, but that's going towards a new PC. iPod Touch still looks cool, and I'll get one as soon as I have the money and nothing else of a higher priority.

Bummer.

I know how to get the NES/PSX/GBA emulators on my iPhone. However, how do I get roms on to the phone so I can use those emulators? I tried figuring it out before but I couldn't see a way to do it.

Thats a bold move sir, but no one knows if the new iPhone can even be jailbroken. I'm sure with all the insane methods Apple is setting up now to make sure you sign up for a new contract, that bitch is going to be locked down harder than Fort Knox.

Where's theres an electronic device, there's a person willing to hack to hell out of it.

I'm tempted as well, considering the new price of it. I'll purely get it for the faster internet though.

Nope. Pwnage Tool 2.0 for MacOS has been announced, but all the other jailbreaking applications like ZiPhone or iLiberty are still only supporting 1.1.4.

Sure. I'm eagerly waiting for it as well.

Apparently, it has been hacked but the hack has yet to be released to the public, there still improving it.

I seriously cant wait to jailbreak 2.0, having the AppStore as well as installer will be fantastic, and tbh the App Store prices seem pretty decent as well.

Heres the million dollar question. Do they know if by hacking 2.0 can the unlock a 3g iPhone? Cause im about to buy one and say **** it, and pay the $175 cancelation fee. Think about it. 200+175=375 for a brand new 3g iphone with better reception and improved call clarity? I'm sold.

I think you can clone your SIM card and do that...

On another note, it looks like they basically permanantly hacked the new iPhone: http://www.hackaday.com/2008/07/15/iphone-dev-team-shows-ssh-access/
They haven't done anything much with it yet, but this means we should be seeing a new, better jailbreak in the near future. This hack apparently would take a hardware update to get around, as it can access the device at root level somehow.

okay so I heard jailbreak 2.0 is being publically released on or around Monday and this is just a jailbreak not an Unlock but its a rumor so grain of salt

Okay, I've discovered that I don't need a 16GB iTouch, which increases my chances of getting one sooner. For a test, I put all the songs I would really listen to if I had an iTouch now on a special playlist and checked the total size. It was a whopping 956 MB! Insanity!

I could fit all of my good music and a few movies on 8 gigs and still have room for more! I'm waiting until the 2.0 unlock, though, just to see if I'd rather jailbreak on a 2.0 or a 1.4.

I did hear somewhere that you shoudlnt update to iTunes 7.7 if your jailbroken. Then again i did and im fine.

But you might have to restore it and re-jailbreak.

which costs more the iphone or a jail broken touch?

It can jailbreak the 2.0 firmware and unlock it, but it only fully works on the old iPhones and iPod Touches, they can't yet unlock the iPhone 3G. Also, the servers are down as of now, you should use a mirror (http://thebigboss.org/repofiles/nonrepo/PwnageTool_2.0.zip) to download it.

The authors of WinPwn (http://winpwn.com) tell us to "expect a release within the next few days!", so I'd suggest you to wait for it.

You can downgrade the software by using an older version of iTunes (http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm) (7.7 won't let you downgrade), then downloading a 1.1.4 iPhone or iPod Touch software from the Internet, and (if you have an iPhone) using KiPhone (http://iphone-freak.com/en/page1/page1.html) to downgrade the baseband version.

Can jailbreaking be used to get an Iphone on a different newwork than AT&T? My guess is no, but I've seen them on Ebay...

Yes it can. I am on Rogers Wireless (Canada) and I have access to all my features on the phone. I've had it since January, and Rogers didn't officially start carrying the iPhone until July 11th. Unlocking your phone allows you to use it on any network. The only thing I don't have is internet anywhere, I do need to have a wi-fi connection I can connect to. But that's more because Rogers charges wayyyyyyy too much for internet data plans.

Has all the information you'll need to jailbreak your iPod Touch/iPhone on both Mac and Windows. But be warned, 2.0 has very little apps compared to 1.1.4 etc, however it is simply a matter of time before old apps are ported over.

Personally, I'm still holding out because the GBA emulator and most other applications i regularly use aren't available yet. However Zodttd (inventor of most installer emulators) is currently porting the GPS emulator over, along with Quake 1. So it shouldn't be too long.

EDIT: WOO THE BIG 1000 POST COUNT!

wow lots of people responded to my delema.... thanks guys, i think i'll just hold out til 2.0 is broken as downgrading is a pain ( i tried ), and legend 69 congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, to clarify, do you have to pay to upgrade to 2.0? Also, can you jailbreak 2.0 AND still be able to download the apps? I mean, some of those are free...so I don't see why the heck I wouldn't want to get some.

On the ITOUCH you have to pay to upgrade to 2.0, but the IPHONE gets it for free I think.
& with the pwnage tool, I think it can only pwn the new iphones I'm not to sure about the itouch's.
I wouldn't advise upgrading to 2.0 unless you do have money to waste, if you stay with the older version (1.1.4) you can get the same apps + a lot more & better ones for free.

WINPWN 2.0 IS HERE! (http://winpwn.com/index.php/Main_Page)

Celebrate.

Edit: I've updated my iPhone, WinPwn worked like a charm. The phone does seem to be working a little slower, though, I'm hoping I'll be able to re-jailbreak it when the new version of iLiberty+ (http://theiphoneproject.org/) is released.

the upgrade is only ten bucks but it still pisses me off that i have to pay for it... but your second paragraph is totally true just stay with the 1.1.4 it's better anyways the app store is like apple came to my house and punched me in the face laughing while taking my money...

so how many good apps have been ported to the 2.0 (i'm talking jailbroken), snes emulator? customize?

Very few. Some of the old apps known from 1.1.4 were released on the AppStore (and most of them are paid :/), and the rest is still being ported. Some (like Kate) are rumoured to be released along with Installer 4.0, so very soon. The only useful applications found on Cydia right now are Boot Neuter, BossPrefs, BossTool and maybe Insomnia. From the emulators, only the NES one has been ported. Much more decent apps can be found on the AppStore, but most of them unfortunately are paid (not much, from $1 to $5, but it's still real money). I'm eagerly waiting for the new Installer and the apps that it will bring!

But isn't Installer 4.0 just an alternative to Cydia? Will there be any bigger differences?

But isn't Installer 3.0 just an alternative to Cydia? Will there be any bigger differences?Yeah, but Installer uses different repository format than Cydia and more repo owners decide to support Installer rather than Cydia. Actually, Cydia is based on a much more reliable and functional framework that with just a little more work it could easily outperform Installer. But as of now, Installer gets more attention from both the developers and the repo owners, and thus is much more useful.

The biggest differences in Installer 4.0 from the previous version will be dependencies (i.e. when you install a package that needs another one to work, both will be installed), which Cydia had from the very start, and multi-threaded tasks (i.e. you can minimalise or cancel any ongoing download/update/loading).

whats this installer stuff anyway because im thinking of jailbreaking an ipod touch (if they can be)

Installer is the platform to download applications from, basically it's the homebrew version of Apples 'official' App Store.

Older firmware generations (1.1.1 - 1.1.4) that were jailbroken all used Installer to download custom apps, but when firmware 2.0 was jailbroken Installer had yet to be ported over to the new 2.0 firmware (old apps need to be ported over to new firmware because they wont work otherwise) so Cydia was created to fill the void. That's what I'm told at least.

Installer/Cydia just appears as another icon on the iPod/Phone's dock. The custom applications are download from there.

I used to have a jailbroken first gen iPhone and I loved it. I even unlocked my father's iPhone at one point. It was nice having tons of programs to use and customizing the look with Summerboard. I did have a scare one time where I almost bricked my iPhone, it was stuck on a continuous reboot when two programs conflicted and crashed all the time.

I since have 2.0 on my 3G iPhone and haven't had the urge to jailbreak this one. I heard ppl having nightmares with their new iPhones, a friend of mine traded his 3G three times till things worked fine for him. I guess I've been lucky to not have any crazy problems. I'm interested in Cydia and the new Installer, although I've been told I"m not missing much with Cydia.

I want customize back... the new software is nice not crashing as much as the jailbroken apps but customize/summerboard/whatever you used was fantastic the generic background and symbols are just too dull

Mm.. I think I've bricked my iTouch.
It was going through this phase a month or so ago where it wasn't to fond of turning off/staying turn on.
And now it just doesn't even turn on, it won't restore either + the Pc/xbox won't even pick it up.

Oh & yes, it does have battery before you ask that.

Well the Xbox never could pick it up. Well I don't really know, all I can offer is the same advice you'd probably find at the Apple support site.

You've probably tried it already but hold the sleep and home button at the same time for about 5 seconds. There is one other method that I know has worked for at least one person, it's not recommended though: Hit the back of your iPod and plug it in to your PC.

Good luck :(

1. Turn off touch.
2. Hold down home button while inserting usb cable, do not let go until the screen turns on. Itunes should recognize the ipod in force restore mode.
3. Restore. :thumbsup:

There is no way to "brick" an ipod touch that I know of, short of throwing it into a wall.

The iphone ipsw will not work on the ipod touch. Pay up ten bucks:shocked: for 2.0 through itunes or find a torrent:evil:.

even read the bible on the bus. All on my ipod!


Oh my gosh! You can read the Bible on the Bus!? Sweet! haha

Yeah. I don't own an iTouch or iPhone but I don't think I would jailbreak it. I mean with the new update so I can download apps right to the phone/ipod I don't think I need to jailbreak it.

The only thing it would really offer is customizing the appearance of my iPhone/iTouch which doesn't really interest me. I bet Apple will include that option soon though.

ye have been deceived by the great deceiver, jailbreak is vastly superior to 2.0

I jailbroke mine first day I got it a while ago. Without the jailbreak and iTouch would HAVE DEFINIATLEY NOT been worth $400.

If anyone has questions about firmware 1.1.4 or before, PM and I'll help you out.

Well Jailbreak 2.0 is better at least, best of both worlds.

Some news!

WinPwn 2.5 should be released this week (http://winpwn.com/index.php/Main_Page). It will finally bring a decent GUI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface), 2.0.2 support and automatic updates.

Meanwhile, you can try using QuickPwn (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/46800837/my-little-pwnies-dressage), which just got the ability to 'pwn' the 2.0.2 firmware and a GUI. It also includes a beta version of Installer.

Also, Installer 4.0b5 was released (http://ripdev.org/2008/08/installer-40b5.html). This brings us closer and closer to finally being able to use Installer on the 2.0 firmware.

The number of useful applications available on Cydia as well as the App Store is increasing. Hopefully, in a month or two all of the 1.1.4 functionalities will be available on 2.0.

EDIT: just updated to 2.0.2. It's much faster and more stable than 2.0, works like a charm! Also, the new Installer looks brilliant... if only some actual applications other than Kate were possible to install using it, it'd be great :tongue:
