1. did not show us anything inside Cydia, also Cydia does not pop up that fast.
2. Installer 4 is well know to be very slow,therefore it is a fake one.
3. didn't show us how he did it, no one will believe it
4. didn't tried all functions on Cydia and installer like downloading apps and add source
5. didn't customize the springboard
6. didn't show us he can open up the iphone( itouch) osx system on a mac or pc and put sth in(like cracked apps) in order to show that us really jailbroken the ipod touch 2g
Anyhow, the new video going around is just a video of a guy who is a developer who put two apps on his iPod that look like Cydia and Installer. It's definitely fake.
Now my stand on the video. I don't believe it's real either, but the thing is i can't say it's fake because it's a god damned good fake if it is.
I have a pretty good video editting background knowledge and i know it's not that easy especially since the quality of both videos are pretty shitty.
The whole "he's a dev, put two apps that looks like blah blah" more skepticism bull, you have no basis on that.
The fact is that you simply can't trust what you see. You have to have the "guilty until proven innocent" mentality. You can believe what you want, but I'm 99% sure that the video is fake.
Just my thoughts.
i probly would have fallen for it :(
is a fake.
I'm not sure about trojans, but its just QuickPwn and the firmware for iPod first gens.
thanks now i gotta go check and see if theres any trojans on my laptop.
please tell us whats going on.
He appears to be some developer from apple. One of the apps on his touch is on that site and it says it being developed. But don't get ur hopes up. He could be a scammer and if he could fake the installer/cydia apps he could probably fake the app thing too. If he is a developer then he could tweak things and make a replica of cydia and installer. Yea so dont count on this guy.
please check. this link
Check http://www.theluiz.com
I hope to be wrong about this,guys....
whatever they do,I ignore them. but I trust "devteam". Cheer up!
damn
You only need to download the firmware link,ed in youtube, unzip it and see the ridiculous files it contents to see it´s a real CRAP,FAKE....
-------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. Look the comments and compare the users commented the video repeating it weeks...
Just wait ,the jailbreak (hardware or software) will come for SURE,lets wait....
going to take the plunge and try it.
if it bricks. oh well back to costco to get another one =]
i just scanned the files with avg (not the best but it works) and it says no viruses.
ill post back as soon as im done.
but everytime i try to start his version of quickpwn it gives me an error as you can see here: http://i33.tinypic.com/m7ax4n.jpg
im going to try the regular version of quickpwn22 now.
http://s4.tinypic.com/wvcor6.jpg
what check you?
Don´t you see is all a FAKE ??? ??
__JUST UNZIP THE FIRMWARE AND SEE __
It's ironic that now people are actually trying it. I don't understand why they're still trying after you clarified the fact that Quickpwn relies on an exploit that doesn't exist in the 2G.
MACS CANNOT EXECUTE .EXE's!
its another fake, most likely full of keyloggers viruses and other nasty code. dont bother with it,
listen to Chronic Dev!
we must chill every day ...
Or alternatively, get your PC so full of viruses and malware it won't boot up anymore. Problem fixed (for both of us.)
Here's one for the iPhone dev team. Pwnage (iPhone-devs Win Nothing As Gays aren't Erotic).
Does 'key_init_capture' play a jailbreak role?
Does the fact Quickpwn rely on a 1G feature to work make it real?
^_^
Why would you denounce someone who is voluntarily doing something for you for free without even asking for donations? If you don't want to read about Chronic Dev or their work or any of that, then why not leave?
It's going to be a sad day when Chronic has to disable comments because of people like this.

Every day new shit!
this guys video must be a virus because someone commented that the ipsw file dons't work and then he told them to wait a day..... :|
Unlocking IPHONE 3g...
Something similar for Ipod touch 2g?
Chronic what do you think???
Very interesting...
:o
go chronic dev, go!
I thinks they must be friends from the video producer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix5gEKly6fQ&NR=1
So this jailbreak will not work on the ipod touch 2g.
There are a millions of dudes out there which have a good computer knowledge, why are there only few guys which are trying to investigate the ipod touch 2g system.... its a lil bit weird...
On a side note, to everyone whining and complaining about how long this is taking, FUCK YOU.
Period.
Thanx
just a suggestion.
many people despair.
I feel bad for the kid he doesnt realize its not gona work no matter wat he does.
edit: haha ok nvm QuckpwnMac1.EXE the mac version is a exe and sum1 believed him... WOW
Is it exploitable?
A: You do not know chronic - thats obvious seeing as you fail at trying to pretend you are with a name like DEV_assist.
B: Your grammer sucks cock.
I am not impressed. See me.
you are crazy...
DEV team work, everyday an update on google. I love it.
yes, i am still working on it, and i have never stopped, don't worry :)
OK, so i feel i owe a bit of explanation on this interesting thing. the issue is that I do not want to give the actual method away. I am not hiding anything, it is just that nothing can be done with it until we gather some more information and get it totally working. I plan to give full disclosure on it once I actually am able to do something useful with it, so do not worry, I am not holding anything back :)
Without revealing too much, basically, I have found a loophole that allows me to write to a certain area of memory that is normally restricted by a range check in the bootloader. The "allowed" locations are 0x8000000 through 0xAFFFF00. That is because, for instance, they do not want people patching Apple sanctioned code on the fly with mw. An example of this would be, since iBEC is mapped to 0x0FF00000 in memory, someone using mw to patch out the signature checks. Because of the range check, this cannot be done obviously. Now, with my loophole, it is still not as easy as just 'writing to the address with mw', but there still are some useful things that can be done and it is being actively worked on right now. Please forgive me for not updating the blog, I have been really excited about this discovery and really hope something can be done with this. Note that I am not 100% sure this will work as we hope it will, so please, please, do not get too excited, but what I can say is that we may have a chance here, because I have already been able to use the loophole to write to a region that I am not supposed to be able to write to, although there is still work to be done and we cannot yet do anything that will do anything very useful.
I am guessing you have a very particular aim in what you are doing to exploit this annoying little thing.
Is there ANY region at all you CANT write to now?
Do you fear some kind of undiscovered block from apple that makes this exploit "not 100%" or is it simply that the theory isn't proven yet?
Thanks for your replied, again :).
over and out...
@adamscybot : my grammar is much better than urs, isnt it ...
tnx for updating and commenting here
you are what we hoped for..
as i see your work in progress i know that there is nothing but great
things done by u
keep up the great job and dont give up
goodluck chronic-dev
it looks like real !
i think this video used iphone later.
he can make cydia icons on 2G

Good luck chronic : D
:-)
Thanks for everything
I think all posts with links in them should be moderated to filter out all the spammy youtube vids of fake jailbreaks. (i stole this idea from the iphone dev team : D)

pending because we think we may have found something very interesting, but to get any use out of it, if we can do anything useful at all, we need to do a bit of work. in fact, i am working on it right now, just taking a bit of a break to see what people are saying in this neck of the woods.
omg people believe him
is it real?
GO CHRONIC!
WARNING!

Chronic Dev says: stay away
i´ts the same viedo!!!!
good luck with the jailbreak chronic!
Cheers from Argentina!
I'm always wait for you all.
Hardware Hack
Place an FPGA between the NOR flash and the NOR flash socket. Allow the signature check to run as usual, then change the code to whatever you want. Since it probably uses a serial flash like the 3G, you'd only have to connect like 4 wires. This is probably what the devteam refers to as a hardware method.
1. the NOR is encrypted, so even just to dump it we would not be able to do anything with it.
2. images are not sigchecked in the NOR, they are taken from NOR, put into memory, THEN sigchecked, so you can't use this method for patching that stuff.
3. unless you had the equipment to hook an FPGA up between the NOR socket and the RAM, which would cost a little less than a house I believe, you cannot use this method for anything useful :(
I'd rather the work to continue than to get a post that just says what we know t the moment.
Please answer....
Thank you
good luck in finding a jailbreak
But then I stumble onto this site. I was thinking it looked like there would never be a 2g jailbreak, but now it seems that it is instead a matter of time and I can indefinitely.
I should read I can wait indefinitely.
I iPod touch is some thing I plan on using for a long time.
GO CHRONIC DEV YOU ARE THE BEST...
if i could do the stuff you can do i would be right there with ya !!
PEACE
So thats a very good sign. Dont give up! I mean you allready found exploits to patch some stuff (The Range check part) and i mean hey thats progress!
I just got my iPod Touch today. Orginally i purchased a 1g one. But hey i got the 2g iPod Touch 16gb for about 100$ less!
Cant wait to see more progress. Dont give up!
^^^
If you're referring to the googlecode page....that documents what Apple already has in place. It's not a hole or an exploit.
For the sake of making this easier to explain, just know that anything mentioning a patch applies to jailbroken devices. Trust me, if we could patch iBoot then the jailbreak would already be done and implemented, it's unfortunately not that easy :)
i know your very hard at work. but you should drop in and make a new post letting us in on some details on how far you are with this new goal.
i just want to let you know that i support you and have mad love for you man.
even if you (god forbid) cant jailbreak this damn thing. i have a ton of respect for you because not many people can say they are in the same position as you guys.,,,
cheers! & good luck bro.
i think chronic did so much he just need to find something good
i.e forums and chronic dev team
Check the dates and times in them. One shows January 2008!
If you still think it's real, by all means try it and show us.
A week ago you told us you jailbroke yours. Are you the maker of the FAKE video?
go chronic!!
You can do it Chronic!!!
unless chronic says otherwise

iPod Touch 2nd Generation Jailbreak!!!
This is not a joke! i figured out an extremely easy way which has nothing to do with pwning, ziphone, or anything at all. i can't believe nobody figured out this before. i ssh'd into my friends 1st gen pwned ipod touch. i retrieved cydia. i then converted cydia to an .ipa app and edited some codes in the info.plist. i simply dragged it into itunes and synced it to my ipod touch 2nd gen! i promise this works and i will soon make a video on youtube for further detailed instructions. Thanks! *technically, this is not a jailbreak, but i have cydia on my ipod touch 2nd gen and it has all the capabilities that a 1st gen jailbreak would have.
**THIS ONLY WORKS ON 2.2!**

Why oh why are iPod Touch 2G users so completely gullible.
Isn't obvious? They're so anxious for a jailbreak that they'll fall into any scheme. It's not so much being gullible as it is being desperate.
I bet you mines more moist(period).
Cant wait for jailbreak
jailbreak of ipod touch 2g
