How to: Jailbreak your iPod Touch 2G, Get Installeous (to install cracked apps) and, as a bonus, get GBA Roms
Okay, lets get started, to jailbreak your touch you are going to need this pack of software. Make sure you have the time alotted. It took me about an hour and a half - two hours cause I worked slowly and had to download everything.
Once I knew what I was doing, it takes me roughly 20-45 minutes per ipod.
Cyw00d DLL
Go to ipod/iphone 2g, go to the bottom one, and download (5H11a)
What's included
*Cyw00d V_17
* iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_restore.ipsw (the 2.2.1 firmware)
Okay, lets get started, shall we?
1)Make sure your iPod 2G is running 2.2.1 Firmware. Duh.
2)Download that software pack, extract to your desktop, its VERY important it goes to your desktop.
3)Put the 2.2.1 firmware in the Cyw00d V_17 Folder
4)Open Cyw00d_V17, run Cyw00d Jailbreak Helper.exe
5)You should get something that looks like this:
6) Now install BOTH of those packages, libUSB AND c++
7)Hit next step once they are installed and highlight the firmware you put in your cyw00d folder, and click 'Start making IPSW file
(Note this step takes several minutes, it took me 15 minutes, please dont close out of the CMD, it closes automatically)
8)When the cmd closes, hit next step. Put your ipod into DFU mode (Hold the power and home button for 10 seconds, release the power button while still holding home button and after 10 seconds you should hear a chime. Then click Upload DFU file. After you do that, unplug your ipod, at the ipod end (non usb) for two seconds. Plug back in. Then hit upload own patch then hit next step.
9)Hit the 'Press Me Button' Right click anywhere on the CMD and hit 'paste' you don't have to copy anything, its already copied to your clipboard. After a few seconds the command prompt will close on its own.
10) Open your iTunes. Hit Shift +left click the 'Restore' button. Find your JailbrokenIPSW.ipsw in the Cyw00d folder. Hit okay, it will start writing your jailbroken software to your iPod. Takes roughly 10-15 minutes or so.
11) After this process you SHOULD have an uresponsive ipod, that is CORRECT. IT IS GOOD. The iPod has detected theres hacked software and doesn't want to respond. How to fix that: Give the ipod a patch that tricks it.
12)Hit next on the Cyw00d jailbreaker. Put your ipod into DFU mode once again.(Hold the power and home button for 10 seconds, release the power button while still holding home button and after 10 seconds you should hear a chime.) Now hit upload the DFU file, and do what you did in step 8. Unplug your ipod for 2 seconds, plug back in. you should get a WHITE screen now. Now hit 'Upload Patch'
13)Hit next, now press the 'Press Me' button. Then once again, paste into the CMD once again, you dont have to copy anything it gets done automatically.
14) Press next, hit Upload DFU patch. Next click Enter go and /exit. What you do is type in go, hit enter, then type /exit.
Hit upload IMG file, then hit enter go /exit and do the same thing as before.
