Chronic, thank you for just popping a quick update out there to let people know you're still around. Props to you and dev-team for the ongoing dedication to redsn0w. dev-team didn't even want to work on the ipt2g, so their attention is especially appreciated. I don't know who among all of you get the tethered redsn0w lite released, but I VERY much appreciate that! My son and I have now moved to ipt2gs and are selling our 1g Touches.
Ignore, as thankfully you seem to have no problem doing, all the whiners and complainers and ignorant d!cks who seem to forget that you are all doing something complex and difficult, that none of them could EVER do, for no compensation, as a hobby. I am confident that the talent working on redsn0w WILL find a way, if there is one to be found. The tethered jb makes the wait easier for a lot of us, but hey, you'll be done when you're done.
And for the ignorant b@stards here who can't be bothered to Google around a while before asking their stoopid questions, why dontchya go take a long walk off a short pier? Gawd, make an effort to be more than a drooling baby, and at least try for the *appearance* of helping yourself.

damn.... an update for the sake of having an update..... chonic, I know that a lot of people nag for an update (even when there is nothing to say), but I think you should only do an update when there is some sort of breakthrough or something interesting in general to say...

It's not available through Cydia, because ZOD is only distributing that app to approved beta testers. There are versions of it leaked out on the internet, and you can download a copy of it, and manually install it using an SSH client to wireless network your iPod and PC.

Where, in any of the blog posts, does it imply that the possibility exists, that they would not make a permanent jailbreak?
The last blog post before this one was a huge comparison about why untethered jailbreak would be so much better than a tethered jailbreak. I pretty much "got the picture" from that.

Quick question, would it be at all possible to rewrite the firmware so that instead of completely powering down to reboot, it would just restart iboot? I know this is a silly question, but still, wouldn't mind if it got answered.. It would make the jailbreak a bit more permanent, even though it wouldn't take care of completely shutting the thing off. Anyway, just tossing that out there. Great work so far! I'll keep checking in!

You can't do this on the first page but wlyou have to scroll to the right more farther more good chance of sucess.
Now hold an app icon and press the home button before it wiggles and the iPod will crash but there's gonna be an animation that always appeared when u turn off ur iPod and it will take u to the unlock screen
There u go, u just soft restarted ur iPod!!!!

this also happened just a few mins that it will bright at the unlock screen and when i slide it will return to faded back and i restart(hard and it works but now it's like the above)

Excuse me "Chronic team is a loser" but the chronic dev team developed iRecovery, which is what iphone dev used to jailbreak the iPod touch 2g People kept bugging the chronic dev team for an update, so he made one. Now listen up! The CHronic Dev team did not make this blog to compete with iPhone dev. Chronic dev has aid in the past that he very much respects the iphone dev team (as do we all!) and made this site to help them out! For a long time, the iPhone dev team was busy with iPhone stuff, and they didn't have time for iPod 2g. So chronic dev developed this blog, and made a lot of progress! The iphone dev then took the knowledge that chronic-dev had earned to create redsn0w! Without chronic-dev, there may not even BE a jailbreak yet! Show a little respect, and dont be so immature!

This dumbshit shows his lack of understanding with every post.
It's not Chronic-Dev Team, vs. iPhone Dev Team at the line of scrimmage.
It'ts been common knowledge that both teams are collaborating at the sideline, and they are squared off against Apple at the line of scrimmage.
The tethered jailbreak was a "first down", and untethered will be a "game point". At which time, it will be Apple's turn to take the offensive line, and try to move to the goal.
Putting your money on either Dev Team is placing your money on BOTH Dev teams.
Here is the ultimate burn: The Dev Teams are not playing a professional game at the Superbowl, they are playing an amateur game of field football, at the local park as a hobby.
This douchebag is rolling like a professional gambler, and he doesn't even know what he's betting on. Every new post makes him look more retarded than revealed by his original post.

For the record, we did not use iRecovery. We have our own tools (both a GUI and a text version), as our videos showed. These tools were needed before the ipt2g even came out -- for all the other devices.
Also for the record, we did not "take the knowledge that the chronic-dev had earned to create redsn0w". Chronic is the first to tell you that. We have built up a pretty good understanding of Apple's mobile devices over the years :)
All that being said, you're right it's not a competition. And people should find better things to do than come onto someone's blog and antagonize. :(

Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
That wasn't a re-boot.
What you did was used the "soft-off', that's more of a sleep-like feature. The RAM stays active, and doesn't flush the data. When you click the power button to resume, it just powers up the screen again.
You'll notice when it's "off", it will still alarm, and chime new mail. The CPU is active, and the device is totally functional, it's just a power saving mode.

You turned it off, and it's a jailbroken 2G iPod?
It's in the settings, under "Fetch New Data" Turn PUSH on, and select an interval to have the device check your EMail account for new mail. You can have it check every 15 min, or once an hour, or manually.

hey stray ive got another slight problem. its not a big deal cuz i can just download all the songs again, but it will take a long time to get over 1000 songs all over again, so im checking to see if this is a common occurrence that can be fixed. After i jailbroke my ipod, i synced my music back onto it, but only a handful actually got synced. all the others said there was a problem syncing because the original file was not found. so ive only got like 30 song on my ipod now =/. most of my songs come from torrents (sorry ive got no money), so im thinking it was something to do with that. any thoughts? thanks in advance
SVTCobra
· 10 months ago
The last remaining files of those missing songs must have been on your ipod but not the computer. You will have to get them again but try to consolidate your library so it won't happen again.
RSP

consolidate my library?
SVTCobra
· 10 months ago
Ya so say you use limewire, when you consolidate your iTunes library, you can delete it from limewire but not get an error. Basically iTunes makes it's library saved so you can't accidentally erase all your songs.
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
I would copy/paste them all manually, to be sure my folder had everything in it.
Incidentally, the "My Music" folder I currently use on this machine is a direct copy of the "My Music" folder made by Win98SE, on a computer I built 9 years ago. I've burned it on a data DVD twice, and because I place "My Documents" on a different partition, every time I have to reinstall an OS, it remains intact. I just add to it, from time to time.
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
The problem with torrent downloads, is they commonly default to a "My Downloads" folder, usually made in the same directory as the bit torrent client. Depending on which client you use, you may be able to move files to another location. If you have used multiple download clients, your music could be scattered in several locations.
I highly recommend to anyone that has a music library, always rip/save/download all your MP3s into a single folder. You can use subfolders to separate albums, and artists, but having them all in one central location makes it much easier (faster) to import the full collection into whatever music manager you use, and easier to burn Data DVD backups of the library.
You might have to re-scan for your music. Do you have an external drive, that was removed for some reason, or a HDD fry on you? Maybe some of the locations were networked drives?
Hard to say what the problem is, because everyone uses different directory methods, the most common being "save it on your desktop", which I think is the worst advice to tell anyone. I would say 30 songs out of 1000 is a major problem. I am not sure a rescan for music would help or not at this point, but I don't think you have a choice.
RSP
· 10 months ago
alright. thanks again. my problem was that with the torrents i downloaded all got saved to my desktop by default, and i never took the time to put them in a permanent folder, so when i cleaned up my desktop, bye bye music. ill be sure to send them all somewhere safe =].

but other then that this jailbreak is ok i give it a 6 out of 10 but when the full version comes out i will be more happy

You don't have to jailbreak it more than once, you only have to input recovery codes when you reboot. It's a bit tedious if you do it manually, but there is a program called "goofball" that automatically inputs the codes for you, so restoring is a breeze... here's the link: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....

Hey Chronic! I've got an iPod-unrelated jail break challenge you might be interested in. Have you ever owned/seen Airport Express? This is a tiny wi-fi router from Apple that has some cool hardware -- a USB port, audio output and a processor capable of running 802.11n. Wouldn't it be really cool to jailbreak it, install SSH on it, pump it up with VPN support and stuff, extend it with a hard-drive thru USB (which it doesn't support), and do a lot of other cool stuff. Apparently, nobody ever tried to do that, which is a shame, since it looks like quite an interesting small device. BTW, this is probably the smallest device you can use to charge your iPhone thru USB :)
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
I've heard alot of great things about that device, and alot of complaints about it not being utilized by Apple for greater things. I've heard of it used as a print server, and a handful of other uses, but it's capable of alot more.

I believe so... You might have to restore your firmware and then jailbreak it...
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
You will always be able to jailbreak your iPod, regardless of which procedure you use.
The details of whether or not you will keep your current "ipsw" setup when changing to the untethered jailbreak have not been addressed, but it's likely to mean re-restoring your custom_restore.ipsw in the process, effectively wiping out your iPod all over again. Be sure to try and backup the device with iTunes before doing either jailbreak.

Faulty custom_restore.ipsw file. Some PCs compile it incorrectly for no apparent reason. Get an ipsw file that was proven to jailbreak successfully. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I5BBVIGA

does anyone know how to put cracked apps on the ipod???
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
We don't support the use of cracked apps.
Nintendo isn't going to make any more money on old NES games, or even SNES, or N64 games, that ship has long since sailed off into the horizon. Playing Super Mario Brothers on your iPod/iPhone isn't going to burden Nintendo with monetary losses.
App store Applications are mostly produced by small time developers, that have small overhead, and in some cases, might be a guy that programs at home as a hobby. They invest in the development software, and sink capital into producing these apps. They then charge almost nothing to buy them from the app store.
Burning these developers is wrong. They most often provide free lite versions of their apps, and charge almost nothing for the full version.
I'd like to encourage you to think twice about using cracked applications.
DirEnGrey
· 10 months ago
thats right. plus apple takes money from them to (.30 cents to the dollar) for download which is bad enough. i just wanted to do this for custom themes. and whoever gets cracked apps i hope apple catches you then u get sued by the developer if the app for like 100 fold of the price of the app for which you were too cheap to buy

erikdamasta
· 10 months ago
it's just a tool or program that does all of the commands for you you will just need to do all the simple stuff such as unplugging your ipod and plugging it back in so it is pretty much a tool that almost automates the process of a tethered jailbreak.
So, in tethered, your ipod would have to officially be "turned off" for the jailbreak to be deleted. Is this when you hold the hold button and you are asked if you want to turn your ipod off? Also, if your battery dies, will the jb then be deleted? thanks in advance
alokg95
· 10 months ago
hey the jailbreak WILL NEVER BE DELETED UNLESS YOU RESTORE YOUR IPOD
You just reapply the patch and viola, it's the same as when u turned it off, so nothing gets deleted:)
if ur battery dies, put it into the charger, then put it into DFU and boot it with 1clickboot

Coldfusion65, no ur jailbreak dusnt get 'deleted'...u just have to put ur ipod into dfu mode, open up a command prompt and type in some commands, thats how i used to do it but now whenever i turn my ipod off i just use this program called 1clickboot. its so easy all u have to do is put ur ipod into dfu mode, if u dont wanna do that just click the file called dfumodehelper.bat and it will put ur ipid into dfu mode for u, then click 1clickboot.bat and thats it, ur ipod will boot up. Beofre i thought doing the tethered jailbreak was stupid, but its actually not bad, the only con i found was the booting process. but thats not even a big deal anymore since this 1clickboot came out.

and no you don't have to update before jailbreaking you just need it to create a custom ipsw.
erikdamasta
· 10 months ago
Yea I totally agree with you a tethered jailbreak is no problem you can turn it off completely if you want for the night then in the morning come connect to your computer quickly run 1clickboot and you'll be up and running in less than 15 sec so a tethered a absolutely no problem and surprisingly it actually is fairly stable I haven't found any bugs that would crash the ipod yet so that is great. And also even if you just lock it there are two advantages a fast boot with no computer required and it wastes zero or minimal amount of battery power. So when you're locking make sure to turn off ssh wifi and the sound and it will consume almost zero % of the battery power.

13.) After your restore is complete, put you iPod into DFU mode. It may seem like your iPod is "bricked" (Windows says the device is unrecognized), but don't panic. Simply be very exact with your DFU timing and iTunes should recognize your device (it'll tell you it needs to be restored, don't do that though). Enter the following in your Command Prompt: Code: iRecovery -f iBSS211.dfu Unplug your iPod, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Your screen should be white now. Run the following after: Code: iRecovery -s arm7_stop mw 0x9000000 0xe59f3014 mw 0x9000004 0xe3a02a02 mw 0x9000008 0xe1c320b0 mw 0x900000c 0xe3e02000 mw 0x9000010 0xe2833c9d mw 0x9000014 0xe58326c0 mw 0x9000018 0xeafffffe mw 0x900001c 0x2200f300 arm7_go arm7_stop /sendfile iBSS221.dfu go /exit Wait for your iPod to reconnect (it should disappear in iTunes, then reappear in a couple seconds). Run the following: Code: iRecovery -f iBoot221.img3 iRecovery -s go /exit

Nvm! I Found a post on Facebook (from a poster below) which easily shows what to do, in not-so-technical terms.
Also, before I attempt this jailbreak, what will it change on my iPod Touch 2G? IS it EXACTLY like the iPod Touch 1G jailbreak (meaning there is Cydia, Installer, etc.)? Is there also a way I can delete the jailbreak, and bring my iPod back to normal in case anything goes wrong?
Matt
· 10 months ago
Yes it´ll be exactly the same. Except from thatt theres a signature check on the 2g ipod touch, which means you will have to connect your ipod to the computer everytime you turn it off, in order to turn it on. This is because that the new bootrom apple use in their 2g ipod touch, wont run unsigned firmware (custom firmware). Also, when jailbreaking, make sure to install LibUSB, otherwise the computer wont be able to communicate with the ipod. Good luck! :D

alright so i have succesfully jailbroken my ipod before, and now i restored it in order to show my friend how to do it. everything went well until step 13, after i restored it to the custome firmware, screen turned off, and i cant seem to put it in DFU mode. I'm not aware of anything im doing wrong. any idea?
RSP
· 10 months ago
nevermind i got it. i just reinstalled libUSB and it worked. something must have went wrong with the initial install.
So I must say that since the tethered came out i am quite unconcerned about when the untethered will be released I am more than happy with this

I agree 100% In the event of a permanent jailbreak, I will simply be pleasantly surprised.
Matt
· 10 months ago
A permanent jailbreak: to actually make the software that will allow you to permanently jailbreak your ipod, is not the big issue here. The thing is, that bypassing the signature check, would mean that youre running unsigned firmware on an apple device. This is illegal, which is probably why it takes so long. I think the dev team is trying to find other ways to actually permanently jailbreak the ipod.
bookmarked, gotta bring my ipod to a reseller(very bad luck just 1 month and the power/sleep button sinked and some dead pixel and now all dead!! but the touching still works but not the display :((((((((()

aminpro
· 10 months ago
can anybody tell me how did the original firmware pass the bootrom check, can't we duplicate this cuz apple can make an update and make everyone update their firmware without problems...is the compilation of the apple firmware is too complicated? maybe someone can compare the 2.2 and 2.2.1 and the custom firmware, maybe u can find something and make it permanent.. if it's not complicated.. i understand u guys did ur best and hard work for all of us.. THX TO ALL IPOD TOUCH 2G JAILBREAK DEVS!!!
Matt
· 10 months ago
As I said before.. It is simply strictly illegal to do this, which is why they might be thinking of an alternative way to jailbreak. In order to pass the signature check, you must have a firmware SIGNED BY APPLE. in order to run apps, it needs to be SIGNED BY APPLE, which is why it is so complicated to pass the signature check. they did not have this issue with the 1g :D
aminpro
· 10 months ago
well, jailbreak is illegal so have do we have to worry about the signed by apple? just trace it and put it on our custom firmware lol.
Matt
· 10 months ago
well having to actually pass the bootrom, could sound like a hardware mod. And the 2g ipods CPU wont let us bypass the signature check. This is the major issue, which is why we need big a** hacking here.
- Type this exactly, but without brackets. (ipsw "221ORIGINAL.ipsw" "221PATCHED.ipsw" -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar)
The directory I'm using is: D:\My Documents\My Pictures\REDSNOW\XPwn-0.5.7-win32
When I enter the command, cmd prompt says: error: Could not load IPSW
I think this is due to the fact that there is no file named 221PATCHED.ipsw. It says nowhere to have this. What can I do, I've followed the steps previously.
Matt
· 10 months ago
this command will make the patched firmware.. do you have the original firmware? and did you rename it to 211ORIGINAL.ipsw? and also.. remember to run this command before doing anything : cd D:\My Documents\My Pictures\REDSNOW\XPwn-0.5.7-win32
now run this command: ipsw 221ORIGINAL.ipsw 221PATCHED.ipsw -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar
hope this helps :D:P

well, what does sad iphone all's about? see here, he did a reboot on a jailbroken ipod touch 2g without running and typing on iRecovery.. and he get the sad iphone image and enter the passcode and respring and he got a partial permanent jailbreak?
did apple put the sad iphone image and it triggered it accidentally making it bootup?
dude. thats my blog lol xD yes this happened to me this morning, and im trying to figure out how it actually happened. I did this twice today. Im actually still trying to figure this out, and any help would be apreciated :)
Matt

I think one or two of my apps had a conflict (vwallpaper and winterboard), and they were running even when the device was off. So when i turned my ipod off, and connected it to the computer, it turned on. amazing. I will post a video soon.

wow, maybe sombody can try the steps.. anyone on jailbroken ipod wanna try his steps.. if failled maybe matt, can you provide all the ipsw files and the other u think is involved, maybe it's somthing attached accidentally to ur ipsw... :/
Matt
· 10 months ago
sure. Im gonna keep on trying this, and if anyone of you guys want to try this, i will provide you with all the files i used for this. You might be right. I think this could help the dev teams out a bit, if we could figure out why this happened to my ipod.

Al extensions that support this safety are disabled after that i reboot and nothing weird happens :) that is something weir or is normal? i have a picture of safety mode, but i don't know how put here sorry :/ PD: Sorry for my English, is not my first language

Guy's if any of you are having a problem with your Summerboard crashing it's because of the app "STACK".Now this app confuses summerboard so sometimes if you use it it will crash your summerboard. So sometimes it will go straight to "Safety Mode", in order to bypass this either delete the last thing you downloaded or delete "STACK" off of your 2g.....

All I did was create 2 blanks, pressed the home button, and then it went sad and in "Safe Mode." By the way, this is not an exploit. The IDT knows they need and they (I'm sure) know about this. They know what to look for, so have no fear.

Also what should i do about roms? is there a cydia source? Or how do you add ROMs through the computer?

Taken me years to collect the ROM library I have, most I have downloaded from shady websites that operated until shut down by authorities, over the years.
From the looks of some of these modern sites, it seems they are being more bold, and offering more ROM files than previously available at other sites.

Add the source apt.123locker.com into cydia. U can then get emulators and some good ROMs right through cydia, no need to SSH.

The only Apple computers I own anymore are an Apple IIe, and a 1986 Macintosh, so I am completely unfamiliar with the method used on a Mac, but I am willing to bet the troubleshoot process to get it to fly, is similar to the one I used on my PC.
I used a search engine, and read all the hits on the errors I was getting. I would use a manual procedure, and then take any error report messages, and google those and see what people have to say about them.

The reason I am asking you to email me is this. I am the owner of a Cellular Accessory Store based in Norton Virginia. We have been a local based retail store for the past five years, but have recently decided to take our great product selection, and our unmatched customer service online.
Unlike many other large coporate sites, All Things Cell is owned, and operated soley by fellow phone enthusiasts like yourself. For this reason, like every iPhone owner, I have grown to respect the Chronic Dev Team, and the work you have done.
Therefore, as the owner of AllThingsCell.Com, I would like to offer you and the Chronic Dev Team a few promotions at our site. All I need is simply an email to send a promotional code too, and you can then redistribute this code to the rest of the dev team.
As I'm sure you understand, I wish not to list my personal email or contact info on this blog. However, if you wish to verify what I'm saying is true, which I do not blame you one bit for doing, you can visit AllThingsCell.Com, and send the email to the address listed on the site.
Thanks Stray, and I look forward to hearing from you shortly..
****ANY EMAIL SENT TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS NOT REGARDING PROPER SUBJECTS WILL BE CONSIDERED AS HARRASSMENT***
Simply do not send an email to this information, unless you are asked to do so, or you have questions which would be dealing with AllThingsCell.Com.

You need it on your ipod so you can transfer files over from your pc using WinSCP or a similar program. Basically, if you want to install ROMs quickly or 100 at once rather one at a time on cydia, you can use this.

Because you are probably not putting the iPod into DFU mode you are most likely holding the buttons too long and are putting it into recovery. Try using Cyw00d instead of doing it the command line way.
Stray_Mongrel

That's exactly what it's supposed to do.
You have to connect to iTunes as if the iPod was "brand new out of the box" and activate the iPod.

Gah Stray...the strings file you sent didn't work. And I have no idea why. Do you have any other ideas?
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
Are the files tagged with the iPod they came off of? Maybe it's seeing the file as off another iPod and refusing to apply it's data?
Really grasping at straws here, because I find it as confusing as you do.
Is there a hex editor that can open and view files directly through an SSH connection, so I can compare the files on my PC and iPod, side by side, and verify the binary data is identical?
Can that file be duplicated by opening notepad, and entering the same text data, and "save as..." and add the appropriate file extension? If so, I might be able to get you the text info you need to repair your existing file.

Hey i was just wondering is it possible to get NES, PSX4, Genesis, or gpsphone ROMs on the ipod touch 2g cause im trying all these sources that people say are reliable but none of them are working for me. Thanks
We also created a project called Project Tap Tap for all you Tap Tap Revenge fans!
Project Tap Tap Description:
In this project we create 5 customs songs for Tap Tap Revenge, and some user requested songs.
This is only for iPod Touch/iPhone Jailbroken!
I also need help on my blog and forum.
For forum help:
-Need some people for Topic ideas, forum ideas, and contest ideas. -Need Moderators -Need Project Tap Tap members (Help Create songs for iPod Touch/iPhone's Tap Tap Revenge)
For the blog:
This blog started as just giving news and updates about the iPhone-Dev Team, Chronic-Dev Team, Projects, Apple, and our forum. So we keep it like that.
So, we need help giving out the word! Help us get deep into the iPod Touch/iPhone community!
For all of you wondering what can be done with a Jailbreak, now that you have it here is a short list:
- Have A Mobile Finder, kind of like Windows Explorer on your iPod. - Copy and Paste Ability with Clippy - GBA, SNES, NES, even a PS1 Emulator(although this one is a bit slow atm). - SBSettings, allows you to quickly control system options with one swipe, so that you can quickly adjust the brightness, or turn Wifi Off to save batter, A respring button, which is kinda like a soft reset, without actually rebooting. - iMobileCinema, watch flash videos. - Backgrounder, have apps running in the background. - If you have a lot of apps, you can get the Catergories App and sort stuff into neat folders, saves a lot of space on your desktop. - Enable Street View on Google Maps, basically you can turn this thing into a mini-laptop.

Okay. Troubleshoot. I'm just having so many problems. I put my iPod in GFU mode to reboot it with 1ClickBoot. That works fine. Then once my iPod goes to the silver Apple screen, it remains like that for awhile. Then, it connects, and iTunes starts to sync apps that are already on it WHILE my iPod's screen is still at the silver Apple. Then something happens, my iPod flashes a quick white screen, then shuts down. I have tried rebooting about four times now, and this keeps happening. Tell me I don't have to rejailbreak=\

Kill iTunes background process before rebooting the iPod, and rip the tether loose when the apple logo pops up, as at that time, any and all data transmission along it are finished.
Also, enable "Manual Sync" option in iTunes, not "Auto Sync when connected to iPod"
I find my Apple store apps act funny when I place them in "Categories Folders", and iTunes claims I don't have permission, or something, to sync apps with iTunes, I forget the exact error message.

The risk to your iPod is really minimal. You'd have to enter developer commands not mentioned in the tutorials, and those are statistically impossible to typo in on accident, while doing the normal procedure.

I will later make a GUI with the original and working files. If you want the original 1 click boot send me an email.
So, sory to be a noob, but does jailbreaking 2G ipods actually voids the warranty? Like if it was jailbroken and the jailbreak was undone would apple actually know? How about the 1st gen?
Thanks.
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
Technically, yes.
Literally, no.
If you turn in a jailbroken iPod for service, they will not honor the warranty.
If you restore using iTunes, it will restore your iPod to it's state from the factory, and Apple will never know that it was jailbroken, and, honor any and all warranties. A nice run-on sentence. Hard to decide where to break it with commas.

Stray_Mongrel

You're just linking a home page, so I have no idea which one of 10 or more "jailbreaking tutorials" that exist in their forums, that you're using, so it's impossible to troubleshoot what stage of the process you're having problems with. I was initially going on the assumption that you were using the same one I used, and that step 14 meant you finished.
If you got the first half of the procedure to go with no error messages, then you are jailbroken, and your problem is only on the reboot.
Just passing thru this informative but also very funny blog 'funny' coz of very useless, time wasting ppl, A.K.A n00bs.

There is absolutely no way this procedure could damage your iPod in a way that requires Apple repair service.
Not unless you're really trying to fuck it up.
Just DFU and restore. You are always able to revert the iPod to "brand new out of the box" condition.

STRAY_MONGREL: 1clickboot worked but then stopped. and still doesn't work. nore does the 4 second booter thing. it seems the only way that works is the manual way. but that doesn't explain why 1clicks don't work any more for me.
That's the exact same tutorial I used. What do you mean by "freezes"?
The iPod takes an unusually long time to reboot, and it seems to "hang" on the apple logo for a few min, but it always works for me. I think the boot time increases the more crap you install on the system.

The 1604 error means you have a corrupt custom_restore.ipsw file. I have no idea why, but some computers compile it wrong. You're not the only one to have this problem, others have too, as well as I.
but Stray have u tried to do anything with the "semi-tethered" jb?????

Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
It defaults to recovery mode, you have to "force" it into DFU mode.
iTunes reports it as recovery in either case, so it doesn't confuse customers, and cause Apple a ton of support "fan mail".
Wrong
· 10 months ago
He's not given up.. he simply says its not a priority I read on the iphone dev team blog that he says exactly this: "I think the phrase we used was something like "if it looks like it's starting to take too long", then we would release the tethered version. And although 2 weeks isn't *really* a long time, it started to feel long with everyone clamoring for it. :)
Now that we've released the tethered version, though, it's probably fair to say that the untethered version isn't a priority. So it's down in the normal mix of things we're looking at. A month ago it wasn't even in the normal mix :)
Also it's fair to assume that if we find something that can potentially be used for iPhone2,1, that we wouldn't possibly ruin that by releasing it for the iPod Touch 2G first (and tipping Apple off to the problem). The tethered ipt2g jailbreak had no potential application for the upcoming iPhone2,1."

I'm sorry but many people including Arix made it clear that u cannot brick your ipod touch just by doing the steps shown in jailbreaking tutorials so make sure you have completely turned off your ipod touch then put it into DFU mode by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time for 10 seconds then after 10 seconds release the power button and keep holding the home for another ten then the itunes window should pop up and it should ask you to restore your i pod which is exactly what you want to do. Hope this helps.

He would have known that if he took the time to read back the past 24 hours worth of posts. I know I detailed that information somewhere just a few hours ago.
He's not reading any information, and posting made up crap, and then claiming redsn0w bricked his iPod.
I'm not sure he cares to know the truth, seems to have made up his mind to believe some fantasy.

My friend jailbroke his iPod and then used bosspreffs to hide his icons. After turning off a bunch, he hit the home button, and his iPod crashed. We then tried rebooting both manually with step 13 of the ipodtouchfans tutorial, as well as using 1 click boot, and both times it seemed to work. The apple logo came up on the iPod like it was rebooting, but it was like that for around 2-3 minutes, after which the circular shaped loading icon appeared in the middle, like the springboard was reloading. That spun for about 5 minutes then the iPod just turned off. Any ideas?
Gerodive

I would just reboot, and if that doesn't work reformat. You'll have to re-jailbreak but that's better than a screwy ipod.

I can't reboot, that's what this whole problem is. And I would rather not restore it back to factory settings and do it all again, I've got a lot of stuff. I'd rather only do that once I KNOW there is nothing I can do to get it to reboot.

@Stray_Mongrel Unfortunately, it was so late and I became so exasperated and ended up rejailbreaking completely=\ And for some odd reason AptBackup didn't work this time. I've had to restore/rejailbreak so many times...it's insane. Hopefully the...5th time's the charm=)

LOL.
Breaking it is the best way to learn about it. I have ruined more windows installs than I can remember, from constantly screwing with registry entries.
I will screw up the "registry" on this iPod eventually, and have to restore it too, no doubt.
Best way to learn how it works from the inside out.

Just out of curiosity, what are your favorite Cydia apps?
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
If I had to chose just one Cydia App, it would be Winterboard, easily.
I also like Categories, for cleaning up the "desktop", so to speak. The Firefox Safari mod, Boss Prefs.
I use the SNES and Gba4iPhone emulation apps also, but those are not installed by Cydia.
I also made a few of my own icons.

those people who sent your ipods in to apple, they will most likely try to fix the problem, (and most likely succeed) and find out it is hacked, and not give you a new/fixed ipod.

Yes, just yank the cord as soon as it's rebooting, and start iTunes on the computer you want to sync with. The iPod will boot into "restore mode", connect it to the new computer with iTunes running, and it will "register" your iPod on the appropriate computer.

It installed fine on mine, and is working as expected.
I have never received an error of that type before, you say this has occurred to you upon trying to install multiple packages?
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
I just tried to google your error message, and see what I could dig up, but it seems to be a very uncommon error. Could only find 2 solid hits on it. One was some asswipe that got banned after only one week on iPodTouchFans fourm. The other was someone who was trying to install the clippy copy/paste app, but nobody answered the question, or even mentioned it after he did.
My speculation is that something is screwy with your custom_restore.ipsw, or an error occurred in the restore process (maybe needs to be redone) or, maybe faulty hardware (I have no idea what the odds are that the iPod could just be faulty to begin with).
I can't say for sure, without actually seeing it in person, and, like I said, it's pure speculation. I would try to jailbreak it again and make sure my custom restore was a good file.
mishayou
· 10 months ago
I used the same custom restore you used. The one you oosted feom that one guy. It worked before my ipod froze and had to reaply the firmware.
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
Maybe the process hiccuped the first time, and the data on your iPod wound up squirrelly for some strange reason. Or maybe it was a download error, and the file is corrupt.
I would try to re-download, and restore that custom_restore.ipsw again.

Hey dudes there is a semi-jailbreak now :) stray what is it exactly? :p
its a tetherd jailbreak meaning anytime you reboot the ipod *not put to sleep a full shutdown* you have to connect to the computer and redo some commants. hope i helped
The Semi-tethered jailbreak means that you will be able to restart your jailbroken iPod Touch 2G, however after being restarted, it will not be jailbroken. Basically it's useful if you're out in town somewhere without access to your computer to re-apply the boot patch. You will still be able to use your iPod Touch without the jailbroken functionality, you will instead be able to use it and any legitimate apps you have downloaded from the App Store, as you did before the jailbreak came out.

instead of a youtube icon, have it playing a mini video of your choise. you can have a live weather, calender, clock. why not youtube.

The icons are .png files, not sure how you can get the system to honor other image formats.
You wouldn't want an actual YouTube link, cause it would rely on always having a stable connected to the internet, so a .gif would be better.

Yeah, the wallpaper can be a .mp4 file extension, I hadn't thought about using one of those for the icons.

I think you should really put time into this. Research the different file extentions that the phone/pod can handle. And apply a video icon.

okay so i have a question, the semi-tethered jailbreak will allow you to restart, but not have the jailbreak, and only have access to apple signed software. so if you go home, put your ipod in dfu mode, and re-apply the patch, everything will be back to normal? themes, apps, nothing will be deleted/changed?

Hey guys, one more thing, I have a tip for everyone, if you re-spring your iPod, and you see the ring spinning, but it doesn't return to the home screen, DON'T reboot. You can, but it will re-spring eventually, it took me about 10 minutes =/
Guy's just to refresh you noobs. The only reason every time you have to patch your ipt2g when you reboot is becuase we have invalidated apples code. Which when you apply the patch (resn0w lite) you are patching the bootrom. They are trying to find an exploit and patch for the LLB or Low Level Bootloader.

Ootcost
· 10 months ago
"This is a variation of redsn0w lite. It's a "semi-tethered" jailbreak.
When your device reboots:
- If you are tethered to a computer and apply the appropriate commands, your device will boot into a fully jailbroken state
- If you are NOT tethered to a computer or do NOT apply the appropriate commands, your device will still boot but ALL JAILBROKEN FUNCTIONALITY will be disabled. This is a temporary condition and you can get back to your fully jailbroken state by doing a tethered reboot. All of your jailbroken apps will remain in place but won't be usable until the tethered reboot.
The concept is straightforward: set up the device so that on its own, it boots using the official iBoot and kernel. But if you're around to intervene during reboot, use the pwned iBoot and kernel instead."

Tap Tap Revenge is the App Store incarnation of Tap Tap Revolution. Revolution could not be on the App store because it used licensed music, and it was not ported to iPhone 2.X firmware. You can't play Tap Tap Revolution on a iPod Touch 2G running 2.X firmware.
However, there are other versions of it from Tapulous that DO include legally licensed music and are a lot of fun. You can find them in the App store.

Stray_Mongrel

The 1604 error means a poorly compiled custom_restore.ipsw file.
Some PCs compile it with some apparent error, and iTunes refuses to upload it into your iPod. Download one compiled by a different computer, and use it instead. Windows XP seems to have the most success with that step of the process, I have heard of alot of Vista machines not cutting the mustard, when making the ipsw file.

That's odd, because my videos sync just fine. I think we need more information about the process when you try to sync video. Does it give any errors? Does the little "sync timer bar" list the video items as it's listing it's sync tasks? Did you try to sync "only the videos"? Can you download a video podcast using the built in iTunes Store in the iPod? If so, does it play ok?
Really not enough information there to troubleshoot the problem.

Man... some of the comments on this site make it almost unusable. What, does everyone from 4chan own an iPod Touch 2G or something?
Anyway, I'm excited at the prospect of a permanent 2G jailbreak even as an iPhone user, but I dare say that I doubt anyone, Chronic, the Dev Team or otherwise, is going to release an untethered jailbreak any time soon. The reason? If they exploit a hole in iBoot and Apple catches on, they may make a revision change to the next iPhone to prevent it. Musclenerd went so much to say that they would most likely keep such an exploit a secret until they determine if it can be used on an iPhone, which won't be released until later this year.
So until that happens, I'd suggest relaxing and get comfortable with a tethered jailbreak for now. The new redsn0w patch lets you boot a vanilla kernel, which at least provides a backup in case your iPod crashes out in the field and you are no where near a computer. You won't have your jailbroken apps, but at least the thing still works. Even for an iPhone, I'd be happy with that if there's no other way.

just a thought cuz i really have no idea about how deep into the confguration of an ipod that an app can get but:
do you think that you could in some way create an app that you can download from cydia that can apply the redsn0w patch and reboot your ipod after you have jailbroken it with the semi tethered jb......
so it would be like your not near a cpu so you boot up with normal firmware but then you run the app and and it reboots ipod with redsn0w patch...
i have no idea if this is even possible so dont call me a dumbass or somethin i was just wondering if it is possible

never mind i got cyw00d and my friend told me how to use it.
hey im having a bit of a problem jailbreaking im using this guide: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.... am using windows xp-sp3 32 bit i am stuck on step 8 i downloaded all the files, saved them on my desktop, both as winrar files and extracted--just incase i did the cd thing on xpwn and it worked (which is on step 5)
so, my actual problem is that when i type in cd C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\iRecovery\iRecovery_SVN with users and yourusername replaced with my info, it says: system cannot find the file specified
help please? thanks in advance

your will say: C:/documents and settings/yourname/desktop/iRecovery/iRecovery_SVN

Make a folder in C:\ and name that folder with the letter "a".
Then type >cd C:\a\irecovery\irecovery_svn

umm....since what i know is that RSLite came out it was 101, now theres RSLS 102, does that mean they are getting closer to getting the jailbreak? i mean if they can alredy make it rebootable (but jb won't stay) don't they need to find a code that they will make it stay and it's done? (so for example if they were 50% done did they go any higher in progress by doing RSLS?) P.S. RSLS = Red Snow Lite SEMI
Stray_Mongrel
· 10 months ago
There is absolutely no "50%" done.
It is either "they found it" or "they did not find it". There is no halfway.
That information has been clearly defined since December, I am really confused as to why people are still asking this. The information on it has been available to the public for a long time.
This is why asking for updates is utterly ridiculous.

quick question out of curiosity if you jailbreak ur ipod successfully (using redsn0w) (not semi-thethered), could u still be considered a 'noob'? cuz i jailbroke it with windows vista so if someone is able to do that, could they still be 'noobs? im just asking cuz im curious on where i stand with all this lol

Did you learn something new?
If you did, I would vote "not noob". You might still have a few things to learn, but as long as you're working on it, nobody has any right to judge you.

Alright. Help needed. I jailbroke my friends iPod, and I told him he'd need software on his own computer to boot it back up. He failed to mention that he had Vista, so when he downloaded libusb, they stopped both is USB mouse and USB keyboard from working. I have XP so am not sure how to get a system restore on Vista. All I need to know is how to do that, and then I'll tell him to change the prefrences when he redownloads it. Anyone, help?
iPt2Gnews.Wordpress.com
· 10 months ago
Hi, I have vista as well. For this to work right click on the libusb program click on properties, than on the compatilbility tab, and then set "Run This Program to compatilbility:" to Windows XP (Dont matter what the SP is) After that you may want to run it on Administrator. To do so right click on the program and select Run as Admin.
Reply back.
callmebam
· 10 months ago
I know this already. He didn't tell me he had Vista until he downloaded it. So now he can't log in to do that because he can't use his keyboard/mouse. What I asked for was how to do a system restore from the boot up menu.
iPt2Gnews.Wordpress.com
· 10 months ago
Well now thats a problem. If he can't log in to his computer than I dont know what to tell you.
Well for rebooting an iPod Touch I suggest you get a "boot.bat" file from Phoenix_1018 at iPodTouchfans.com or I can give you the link to the download, but not many people trust other people with EXPENSIVE stuff now do they?

You do know that you don't need a USB keyboard. You can use the mouses/keybaords with (dunno about where you live, but here the mouse has a green circular plug and the keyboard has a purple one) plugs that go straight to your computer. I recomend buying a proper keybaord with proper plugs. The USB keybaord should have came with a transverter plug, mine did, but obviously one does not have the brains to figure out there is more then one way to plug a keybaord into a computer.
lovinmyjailbroken2g

i had the same problem but when vista is starting up you can still use the keyboard so hit f12 (i think its f12) go into the menu thingy and yea mess around in there (dont mess around too much tho) lol thats what i did it was a while ago so i dont fully remember exactly what to do. hope i helped

Uh-oh guys, Apple decided that they don't like us Jailbreaking our ipods and iphones.
I dont think that Apple is going to be able to do much about us jailbreaking. There are lots of things being modified out there that is much worse like a modified Xbox that can cheat online. Store games in the hard drive exc. And they should wory a bout the PsP cause they can burn roms to there device and dont have to pay for any games at all. I think apple should just steal some of the jailbreak software like changing your battery or slider. I say fuck Apple. I would have never bought a ipod touch 2g if i couldnt jailbreak. The ipod touch is nothing without it. If they do make it were we are unable to jailbreak are ipod touch. I wount buy any Apple products including ipods. They would loose alot of money. For all of you who havent got your ipod touch 2g jailbroken keep on trying.

lovinmyjailbroken2g
· 10 months ago
to be honest i think if they did see this coming they probably would've done the same thing. i mean like if they saw we were gonna jailbreak they probably would've let us at least for the 1g because that's just one more thing the ipod can do that the other devices cant. so instead of having themselves get sued now they can say "we tried but we failed its not our fault batman themes are on winterboard" that sorta thing, and really the only people that care about hacking the ipod are the only people that would bother going so far out of there way to JB it or look it up at least. so the way i see it apple's happy they let the 1g get hacked and try to have the 2nd gen alot harder just for them to say "hey look we saw they were doing it we tried to fix it sorry cant sue us for this" these people are buying the ipod for the games and cool customization some are greedy and go for the cheap apps. i hope i got my point across cause well if i didn't this is a waste lol

No Listen, I got the same problem, what you do is, 1. Open iTunes. 2. Connect ur iPod 3. Hold power and home for like 6-8 seconds, after you hear the windows USB disconnect soung, let go of power and continue to hold on to home. 4. Then you should hear a USB connected sound and iTunes should pop up saying something about a restore. 5. You are now in DFU mode. 6. You can either give up and restore to old firmware or try using a simpler tool, with something like Cywood's tool;

Hey guys, I've heard many rumors about what apple is trying to do about jailbreaking, and one of the scariest I heard was that apple might include something in a future version or iTunes that can detect modified software, and then removes it against your will, I know this sounds far-fetched, but apple is mad about jailbreaking, I have read many interviews, and they seem like they really want to stop it. After all, jailbreaking is modifing copyrighted code.
Not trying to be a downer or anything haha, I am loving by jailbroken 2g, but I just wanted to know what you guys think.

If you downloaded a theme, then it would have automaticaly installed winterboard as well. Yes you need to restart your iPod so winterboard will work correctly. Then go into winterboard and tap on the theme you want/downloaded and your iPod will respring when you close winterboard and your theme will come into affect.

You never set the ROMs folder read/write settings. The folder is set to "read only", so it can't save any data in there.
SSH and set the permissions of the ROMs folder to 775.

Honestly don't know what I mean, what are the issues with this? Yes I don't know anything about jailbreaking. I actually bought the g2 not knowing that. I just got it for a very very good deal with the 30%live cashback+10% ebay discount like 3 months ago. I've been trying to read but I don't understand much of it.
If you decide at that point that "yeah, I really want to do this", then read the procedure at: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.... This is the manual procedure, and gives you a "gritty" idea of what you are doing to your iPod. Most of the hacking, is RAM hacking, and erases if you turn off your iPod. No permanent changes, except for the "HDD" that contains the actual system, which is erasable, and can be restored to "Brand New Factory" condition, in the event you screw it up, or decide you don't like it, or need to get the iPod fixed under warranty.
The Graphical User Interface method I see praised the most seems to be Cyw00d's creation: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.... Use this if you're squeamish about manually hacking your iPod, this GUI provides all the steps scripted, and holds your hand through the entire process.
From that point on, you'll need to reconnect to a PC to reboot your iPod, until they develop a new method to apply the redsn0w, or 0wnboot patch internally. I use this script to reboot: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.... Or I have seen it mentioned that you can follow the last part of the Cyw00d GUI Jailbreak Tool to reboot the device.

I annoy myself a lot when I'm all like, "SHIT!!! THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO FUCKING BE THERE!!!"

You also forgot to mention the fact that there were no bars...
callmebam
· 10 months ago
I just pointed 1 thing out to close the fact. Wasn't going to go into detail (although I could)
erikdamasta
· 10 months ago
Yea if you guys could tell me if there was a way for me to get bars at the top that would be great. By the way customize doesn't work.
callmebam
· 10 months ago
Mmhm. The way I did it was download the Vista Unlimited theme and it gave me bars. I also think there's away to get just the bars, but I haven't tried.
Alright I made another screenshot of my Ipod Touch but this time made it look much more like an Iphone thanks to the suggestions of callmebam and B_X here it is tell me what you guys think of it)
iPhone's do not have a "Music" app. I suggest getting MobileMusicPlayer Flip, respringing, and you'll have the "iPod" app in replacement to your "Music" and "Video" apps. Saves space, too.

This is probably as close as my Ipod touch will get to looking like an Iphone any more suggestion or comments please feel free to share I would really appreciate it and a big thanks to callmebam for all of his great ideas.
Yeah, no problem. Last thing I can come up with: download Freepops from Cydia, then respring. Now, open up Settings, then go to the Mail section. You can set up your Hotmail (I noticed your m•box Hotmail app) to your actual Mail app through the "Other" option. This won't really make it look more like an iPhone, but it helps.
erikdamasta

Thx I shall do that.

Awesome, now put it all together into an installable theme. Name it "Psudo-iPhone", "Quasi-iPhone", or my favorite, "iPhoney".

you know. i got a jailbroken 2g ipod touch. now it isnt semi tethered. because i find the tethered fine. like ok. when i first did it and installed winterboard i was away from my house. so it restarted and i couldnt use it. but it doesnt matter. so seriously if there is never going to be a permanent jailbreak. i really dnt mind. :) so dnt hate the people who say be happy with tethered

Does anyone know any good sources.
-wiseman-
· 10 months ago
install "SteffWiz" on cydia then install "All Sources" ("All Sources" appears with you search for "SteffWiz" but only after "SteffWiz" is installed
It gives you loads of Sources and SHED loads of content to download
theres almost 1000 themes
Titi

Thanks man
erikdamasta
· 10 months ago
Hey guys wouldn't it be cool if somebody just made like a tiny little chip that you would plug into the usb opening of the ipod touch 2g and if you wanted to like reboot or even shutdown you could do it away from the computer because you would just plug in the chip and it would run something such as 1clickboot to get it up and running without the neeed of a computer. Is anything like this possible?
lovinmyjailbroken2g
· 10 months ago
yea and it could be made for verey cheap in china
aminpro
· 10 months ago
that's what i'm thinking from the beginning . A device that can be plugged into the ipod's usb and it will self reboot( this is near the untethered jailbreak )
aminpro
· 10 months ago
anyone got a source to download apps like the memory/ram free-er ( no need to reboot )
flips30240
· 10 months ago
shoutout to erikdamasta, that is definitely a possible idea. I've heard rumors of people attempting to do it. they were talking about basically making a very small linux computer with one button to start the one click boot up. i think i found it on ipodtouchfans.com.
hey, whats the demo.app for i found it when ssh but it din't appear on my ipod :/
-wiseman-

I dont think its actually anything tbh
I can see it also in BossPrefs but it dosent appea anyway

hey, u all should jailbreak even it's tethered. It took me only 20 sec to boot it back ( no big deal )
Rafael

Check out musclenerd twitter account. There's a video of a fast tethered jailbreak. I think they are much closer to the permanent jailbreak. Remember Sunday's are Funday's!!! Cheers!!!

okay, i just got my demo.app showed up and activated it but only the screen turns black, nothing more :/ whats the purpose of this anyway?!?!
wait... my apps icons just got scrambled( gotta rearrange lol) just when i exited the demoapp .. :/ any idea how this happened? i run it again and it scrambles my apps but it's random... not like the first time.. can someone investigate whats this demo app is for?!?! anyway, i activated it using bossprefs
xxjailbreakmexx
· 10 months ago
okay. its an app the runs every time you turn on your ipod to make sure everything is working okay, if you ssh into your ipod, you can put the demo app on your home screen, or if you put an mp4 video in it, i have heard that it will play it when you turn your ipod on. idk

IDK if this will work but if it is already jailbroken turn it off completely put it into DFU mode and download 1clickboot and run that.

lovinmyjailbroken2g

its called winterboard and honestly its al over the comments you probably would only have to read 50 tops

alrite dude relax and im not a noob i know what winterboard is and customize is not the same as winterboard
callmebam
· 10 months ago
Customize doesn't work with the 2.2.x firmwares, but on www.customizeapp.com, the developer(s) announced they're working on making it compatible. So I say: keep it installed so you know when it's good to go.

I know how to get warranty back after jailbreaking your iPod touch I'm not sure about iPhones but it should work. If any one wants to know just email me at bacosta37@yahoo.com or bacosta1993@gmail.com and another thing if you have a YouTube channel make video please because I've been try to contact youtubers but they don't even replie to my messages.
lovinmyjailbroken2g
· 10 months ago
thats because you're some weirdo trying to talk to people when you could easily post it here:) also all you have to do is restore your ipod back to normal and apple wont even know it was jailbroken
aminpro
· 10 months ago
just click the restore button n00b
nikekid559
· 10 months ago
fag no your files are still there here is how you do it
ssh your ipod and then backspace 3 times and then highlight all the files then delete them then just restore it on itunes on any firmware and just so you know this is also how you downgrade the 2.0 software and on the 2g ipod you can only go back down to 2.1.1

knifeproz
· 10 months ago
make it into Windows XP Service Pack 2 (thats what it has to run as before you install *for vista users*) and to do that go to the install file and right clikc properties and then serach for the priority tab or something of this sort. (2nd or 3rd tab in prop.)
mishayou

I was under the impresion that I had a 32. But the sticker on the front of my computer says athlon 64. Does that mean I have a 64? or is that a totlly differnt thing. And would this have been the reason for the fuck up?
alokg95

athlon 64 means you have a piece of crap computer LOL (that's an old processor)

Haha $299. Can't go wrong. But my old one was 256. This is 1 gig ram. I know I know, yours is probly 3 gigs. Also my old one was 120 gig memory. This one is 160. So 4 times the ram for 299$ is good.
alokg95
· 10 months ago
lol I guess Mine was custom I bought all the parts and put it together with my dad
lol, it used to be pretty good, but now it's average :( I want to upgrade:p
I have 2GB RAM, used to have Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, but downgraded to XP SP3 because the performance of vista SUCKS, it's way faster now :P
This has like 350gb memory and we bought a 1 terabyte external hard drive to back everything up LOL so 1.35 tb of memory for us :D [western digital, costs about $120)
mishayou
· 10 months ago
They were out but we were gonna get $500 3gb ram, 320 memory. That a great deal! You play halo?
right click on the installer, and click properties, then on the 2nd or 3rd tab, u can set it to windows xp sp2 compatibility mode and then continue to install it then jailbreak :)
mishayou
· 10 months ago
Now I only have sp1 for vista. Will this matter?
alokg95
· 10 months ago
Yes it will, you still have Vista So you still have to run the installer in xp sp2 compat. mode
aminpro
· 10 months ago
for safety precautions, i recommend you do this on your laptop if you are running vista. the laptop's keyboard or touchpad will never be interfered with the libusb. obviously the name of the program is libUSB, your keyboard or touchpad is not associated with the usb configuration in any way
That's gotta be bs...gah I don't know! Sometimes the Internet is so convincing.

same. i think it is only for uk users becuase there is a law on how loud it can be in the uk . also while i was looking at it there wasnt a FW 2.2.1 version so that might be it too. then again the ipods speaker blows so hard there really isnt a point to making it louder
SiriusDj
· 10 months ago
I downloaded the 2.2.1 version and there is no law, thats just for car stereos (: I'm in the UK too. Thanks for trying to help anyway (: I think they just havn't bothered to make the patch for ipt2g yet. Any other ideas guys?

Hey guys, a little off topic here but something you all may be interested in, I sure was.
The guys over at www.AllThingsCell.Com are offering discounts for any member of this blog. There offering 25%-50% discounts on every single item in the store.
From what I seen, they do not currently have many iPod items in stock, but whn I called the store, they said they were adding more soon. They do have some pretty cool iPhone accessories, and a cool stylus pen that works with the ipod touch, and iphone both.
All you have to do is enter this code: ipodfan
When your checking out, and you will get a 25%-50% discount on any items your order. I picked up a stylus cheaper than anywhere online after the discount, and its instant at checkout.
Just figured you all may be interested. Pretty cool to get discounts now for simply falling in love with an ipod. :)

callmebam

Shadow, you're so misinformed. Always have been. The dongle, according to past posts by the iPhone Dev Team, is like an external booter for the iPod touch 2G. So you can boot on the fly.
Stray_Mongrel

No, that figure is the size of the binary data that you hand enter into RAM when rebooting every time. It has nothing to do with "almost there".
Getting that data to "self load" is difficult in the environment provided, and requires an exploit that is obviously well hidden.
Here is an analogy: You have been at Disneyland all day, and when you exit the gate to go back to the hotel, you realize your jailbroken iPod Touch 2G is missing. Here are the facts in this hypothetical situation: 1) It fell out of your pocket. 2) It still remains within the borders of the property. 3) Nobody has taken possession of your iPod.
Answer these 2 questions based on the available information: 1) How long will it take to find your iPod? 2) Exactly when will you be 1/2 way done finding your iPod?
Don't forget to "update" everyone at 30 min intervals during the search, because people want to know how close you are to finding your iPod.
This analogy demonstrates how ridiculous it is, asking for updates, or guessing they are "1/2 way done".

Greetings Chronic Dev Team community!
It's Max Levchin, one of the founders and CEO's of paypal.com reminding you that you can donate money to the Chronic Dev Team via paypal by sending money to the following address:
This money collected in the fund will be wired to directly to Chronic and his Dev team to thank them for all the work they've done. As an iPod Touch 2nd generation owner myself, I can't wait for the fabled untethered jailbreak or at least a reliable dongle device.
I really have had enough of this, just shut up, your the 'n00b'. Chronic stayed with us while the iPhone dev team abandoned us at the start. If it wern't for Chronic, I don't think the iPhone guys would have bothered with 'redsn0w'. If Chronic is dumb then you are a retard. iPhone dev are too caught up with 'Yellowsn0w' to bother with us iPod Touch users now. (I think).

Kid logic. I wouldn't take it personal, there are many misconceptions about what is actually going on, despite Chronic-Dev's best efforts to keep the public 110% "in the loop".
There are a number of confusing, and outright ridiculous misconceptions being circulated, and I can't figure out why.
Maybe it's just due the logistics concerning the percentage of gullible people, that exist in any cross section of the general population.

Ignore, as thankfully you seem to have no problem doing, all the whiners and complainers and ignorant d!cks who seem to forget that you are all doing something complex and difficult, that none of them could EVER do, for no compensation, as a hobby. I am confident that the talent working on redsn0w WILL find a way, if there is one to be found. The tethered jb makes the wait easier for a lot of us, but hey, you'll be done when you're done.
And for the ignorant b@stards here who can't be bothered to Google around a while before asking their stoopid questions, why dontchya go take a long walk off a short pier? Gawd, make an effort to be more than a drooling baby, and at least try for the *appearance* of helping yourself.

But o-well good luck chronic and thanks for everything so far
just wondering about if your gonna make a pernament jb
seriously a lot of people are too impatient with this
The last blog post before this one was a huge comparison about why untethered jailbreak would be so much better than a tethered jailbreak. I pretty much "got the picture" from that.
The truth has many bugs redsn0w .......... hopefully the final jailbreak is perfect as you can do !!!!!!!!!!!

You can't do this on the first page but wlyou have to scroll to the right more farther more good chance of sucess.
Now hold an app icon and press the home button before it wiggles and the iPod will crash but there's gonna be an animation that always appeared when u turn off ur iPod and it will take u to the unlock screen
There u go, u just soft restarted ur iPod!!!!
mt ipod is like the screen brightness is so low, i have to get to a sunlight to see it, i tried to adjust the brightness and turned the autobrightness off but no effect even i rebooted it.. no effect...... but when i click the wake button it will bright like normal for 1 sec and return back to the faded and when i do something at the brightness screen like turn the switch or adjust, it will flick a bright and return to faded back......... is this a soft problem or a hard problem.
this also happened just a few mins that it will bright at the unlock screen and when i slide it will return to faded back and i restart(hard and it works but now it's like the above)

It's not Chronic-Dev Team, vs. iPhone Dev Team at the line of scrimmage.
It'ts been common knowledge that both teams are collaborating at the sideline, and they are squared off against Apple at the line of scrimmage.
The tethered jailbreak was a "first down", and untethered will be a "game point". At which time, it will be Apple's turn to take the offensive line, and try to move to the goal.
Putting your money on either Dev Team is placing your money on BOTH Dev teams.
Here is the ultimate burn:
The Dev Teams are not playing a professional game at the Superbowl, they are playing an amateur game of field football, at the local park as a hobby.
This douchebag is rolling like a professional gambler, and he doesn't even know what he's betting on. Every new post makes him look more retarded than revealed by his original post.

Chronic Dev - Gains the satisfaction of learning a new technology.
Dipshit poster - Gains the false sense of satisfaction at posting "his feelings".
One Year From Now:
Chronic Dev - More knowledge, satisfaction in exploring an interesting technology.
Smug Dipshit - Still a clueless smug dipshit, that has learned nothing. Namely that nobody gives a rats ass about "his feelings". Or opinions.
Learn basic grammar.
Also for the record, we did not "take the knowledge that the chronic-dev had earned to create redsn0w". Chronic is the first to tell you that. We have built up a pretty good understanding of Apple's mobile devices over the years :)
All that being said, you're right it's not a competition. And people should find better things to do than come onto someone's blog and antagonize. :(
so they are not working on it?

I can do every step till the iPod screen turns white, because then my windows makes the same noise like when he doesn't recognizes something I plug in the USB port ("di-di-ding" and not "di-dong" or something like that) i've installed the apple recovery (DFU) drivers ....so.....any solution for me?
What you did was used the "soft-off', that's more of a sleep-like feature. The RAM stays active, and doesn't flush the data. When you click the power button to resume, it just powers up the screen again.
You'll notice when it's "off", it will still alarm, and chime new mail. The CPU is active, and the device is totally functional, it's just a power saving mode.
So what this guy did was "press" not "hold" the sleep/power button??
It's in the settings, under "Fetch New Data"
Turn PUSH on, and select an interval to have the device check your EMail account for new mail.
You can have it check every 15 min, or once an hour, or manually.

PS: in non-exploit news, new iRecovery is in SVN, 0wnboot source is in SVN, we dumped iPod touch 2G bootrom, and tethered jb is released. if you have been “in the know”, this is old news to you.
In other words....if they knew WHEN it was coming out....they would have said so. Instead, they gave you the update everyone was demanding.

What is the difference and why does it effect jailbreak
But I am about to jailbreak with GUI
First advice I won't follow
Technical difficulties arise due to system and tampering
A far as I know no one had trouble with xp 32 bit without being completely stupid
The real one did :)
Right click your "My Computer" icon, and select "Properties"
It should say within the System summary if the OS is a 32-bit or 64-bit version.

The title of the blog here is "Chronic Dev Blog - nothing to hide"
If you read his blog, you will find nowhere is it even suggested that he and his team have "given up" and I have no idea why people keep coming in here asking that.
I would like to know who told you that, and where everyone is hearing that rumor?
Incidentally, the "My Music" folder I currently use on this machine is a direct copy of the "My Music" folder made by Win98SE, on a computer I built 9 years ago. I've burned it on a data DVD twice, and because I place "My Documents" on a different partition, every time I have to reinstall an OS, it remains intact. I just add to it, from time to time.
I highly recommend to anyone that has a music library, always rip/save/download all your MP3s into a single folder. You can use subfolders to separate albums, and artists, but having them all in one central location makes it much easier (faster) to import the full collection into whatever music manager you use, and easier to burn Data DVD backups of the library.
You might have to re-scan for your music. Do you have an external drive, that was removed for some reason, or a HDD fry on you? Maybe some of the locations were networked drives?
Hard to say what the problem is, because everyone uses different directory methods, the most common being "save it on your desktop", which I think is the worst advice to tell anyone.
I would say 30 songs out of 1000 is a major problem. I am not sure a rescan for music would help or not at this point, but I don't think you have a choice.

anyways i just jailbroke my ipod and i have to say its pretty damn cool but i had to do it 2ice cause my stupid friend turned off my ipod just to be a dick don't worrie i kicked his ass haha
the only thing i hate about this jailbreak is that i cant turn it off and everyone i talked to at apple store in order to have a better battary life is to let your battery die at least once a month and make sure you charge your battatry all night after it dies
but other then that this jailbreak is ok i give it a 6 out of 10
but when the full version comes out i will be more happy
so keep going chronic i have faith in you i dont really care who comes out with it first you guys or the iphone dev team as long as its out
please somebody reply
You don't just get free time handed to you. So I don't have that much time to do these things. And I'd rather not, but I do it just to know. So keep your smart ass commers to yourself.
The term "nothing to hide" means something.
It means everything we know has been blogged. There is no news here that hasn't been announced at the top of the page.

Have you ever owned/seen Airport Express? This is a tiny wi-fi router from Apple that has some cool hardware -- a USB port, audio output and a processor capable of running 802.11n.
Wouldn't it be really cool to jailbreak it, install SSH on it, pump it up with VPN support and stuff, extend it with a hard-drive thru USB (which it doesn't support), and do a lot of other cool stuff.
Apparently, nobody ever tried to do that, which is a shame, since it looks like quite an interesting small device.
BTW, this is probably the smallest device you can use to charge your iPhone thru USB :)

Holy shit, you're awesome, guy. You totally explored the entire boot process in less time than anyone else.
You must be super-ninja-hacker, to make the determination that an untethered jailbreak is impossible. Chronic Dev is going to read this, learn something that we all didn't know before you informed us, and be amazed at your skillz.

Just need a wireless router, or wireless NIC card in your PC.
Install Open SSH through Cydia, and run the WinSCP client. it takes literally 3 pieces of information to connect the PC and iPod.
1) The IP address of the iPod
2) The user (root)
3) The password (alpine)
You might have to restore your firmware and then jailbreak it...
The details of whether or not you will keep your current "ipsw" setup when changing to the untethered jailbreak have not been addressed, but it's likely to mean re-restoring your custom_restore.ipsw in the process, effectively wiping out your iPod all over again. Be sure to try and backup the device with iTunes before doing either jailbreak.
Then I restored in iTunes. Then I get message that USB device malfunctioned and is not recognized by Windows. Black screen on iPod now. No idea how to fix.
Any help?

Anyway, cheers for making it work.
I went as new iPod and synced.
Nintendo isn't going to make any more money on old NES games, or even SNES, or N64 games, that ship has long since sailed off into the horizon. Playing Super Mario Brothers on your iPod/iPhone isn't going to burden Nintendo with monetary losses.
App store Applications are mostly produced by small time developers, that have small overhead, and in some cases, might be a guy that programs at home as a hobby. They invest in the development software, and sink capital into producing these apps. They then charge almost nothing to buy them from the app store.
Burning these developers is wrong. They most often provide free lite versions of their apps, and charge almost nothing for the full version.
I'd like to encourage you to think twice about using cracked applications.

the jailbreak WILL NEVER BE DELETED UNLESS YOU RESTORE YOUR IPOD
You just reapply the patch and viola, it's the same as when u turned it off, so nothing gets deleted:)
if ur battery dies, put it into the charger, then put it into DFU and boot it with 1clickboot
and thank you.
BUT, how much work is it to reapply the patch and put it into DFU and stuff?
have never done this before
you just put your ipod into DFU, and launch the application on ur computer, and your ipod will be up within 15 seconds:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdF2WymXq6o
It may seem like your iPod is "bricked" (Windows says the device is unrecognized), but don't panic.
Simply be very exact with your DFU timing and iTunes should recognize your device (it'll tell you it needs to be restored, don't do that though).
Enter the following in your Command Prompt:
Code:
iRecovery -f iBSS211.dfu
Unplug your iPod, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
Your screen should be white now.
Run the following after:
Code:
iRecovery -s
arm7_stop
mw 0x9000000 0xe59f3014
mw 0x9000004 0xe3a02a02

arm7_go
arm7_stop
/sendfile iBSS221.dfu

Wait for your iPod to reconnect (it should disappear in iTunes, then reappear in a couple seconds).

Also, before I attempt this jailbreak, what will it change on my iPod Touch 2G?
IS it EXACTLY like the iPod Touch 1G jailbreak (meaning there is Cydia, Installer, etc.)? Is there also a way I can delete the jailbreak, and bring my iPod back to normal in case anything goes wrong?
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=8010&po...
I'm stuck at the part where it says:
- Type this exactly, but without brackets. (ipsw "221ORIGINAL.ipsw" "221PATCHED.ipsw" -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar)
The directory I'm using is: D:\My Documents\My Pictures\REDSNOW\XPwn-0.5.7-win32
When I enter the command, cmd prompt says: error: Could not load IPSW
I think this is due to the fact that there is no file named 221PATCHED.ipsw. It says nowhere to have this. What can I do, I've followed the steps previously.
now run this command:
ipsw 221ORIGINAL.ipsw 221PATCHED.ipsw -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar
hope this helps :D:P

Good night! :D
By the way, this is not an exploit. The IDT knows they need and they (I'm sure) know about this. They know what to look for, so have no fear.
or is the tether is gonna be as close as you guys gonna get?
me and tons of people would love to see a full release of redsn0w
just a question really cause if theres not gonna be a full release then i will just have to settle for the the lite witch i'm kinda worried about doing cause i hear alot of people having trouble with it and there are people that have success and i'm not a noob i just would hate to have to put in the commands all over every time i turn off my ipod or my ipod crashes
please?
1) My computer is a hackintosh, with fudged together kexts from several different updates... I'm on 10.5.6, but not sure which version my iousbfamily.kext is from... how do I tell if I'm okay, or need to download the new ones?
2) What's the easiest tool/guide out now for doing it on a Leopard 10.5.6/Intel machine?
3) Will I lose my apps? I know I'll lose music and stuff, but I can put those back on...
Thanks for anyone that can help me!

PLEASE help me! I love the JB and i'm just running into some road bumps that would be great to get over :)))
THANKS!!
From the looks of some of these modern sites, it seems they are being more bold, and offering more ROM files than previously available at other sites.
some one help me please lol
Hi. We're blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.
Summer 2009.
Thanks and get ready...
1. Go commit suicide
2. Go buy a blink 182 album and discover why they are one of the beat bands around
Fuck you
Now if the post was a technical post concerning the relationship between a music file, and the iPod Touch, and the music in question just happened to be a Blink 182 MP3 file (by some random chance), then I think it would be considered "on topic"
Band promotion is way off base here.
The information is either at the root directory of this Blog website or at the iPhone Dev Team's website:
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
Or more information can be found at the Unofficial FAQ site:
http://redsn0w.pbwiki.com/FAQ
Unless it has been specifically mentioned at either blog, that they have stopped working on the permanent jailbreak, do not post any questions about it. You will prob get mocked viciously if you do.
I used a search engine, and read all the hits on the errors I was getting. I would use a manual procedure, and then take any error report messages, and google those and see what people have to say about them.
The reason I am asking you to email me is this. I am the owner of a Cellular Accessory Store based in Norton Virginia. We have been a local based retail store for the past five years, but have recently decided to take our great product selection, and our unmatched customer service online.
Unlike many other large coporate sites, All Things Cell is owned, and operated soley by fellow phone enthusiasts like yourself. For this reason, like every iPhone owner, I have grown to respect the Chronic Dev Team, and the work you have done.
Therefore, as the owner of AllThingsCell.Com, I would like to offer you and the Chronic Dev Team a few promotions at our site. All I need is simply an email to send a promotional code too, and you can then redistribute this code to the rest of the dev team.
As I'm sure you understand, I wish not to list my personal email or contact info on this blog. However, if you wish to verify what I'm saying is true, which I do not blame you one bit for doing, you can visit AllThingsCell.Com, and send the email to the address listed on the site.
Thanks Stray, and I look forward to hearing from you shortly..
****ANY EMAIL SENT TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS NOT REGARDING PROPER SUBJECTS WILL BE CONSIDERED AS HARRASSMENT***
Simply do not send an email to this information, unless you are asked to do so, or you have questions which would be dealing with AllThingsCell.Com.
Again, Any spam, or otherwise unnessicary emails will be considered harassment, and dealt with as so.
I'm not officially associated with Chronic-Dev or his development team. I'm just some random asshole off the street that comes here and runs his mouth sometimes. I'm probably not who you're actually looking for, to make whatever proposition you intend to make.
If not, try it and tell us if it worked or not. I'm actually curious to know.
Basically, if you want to install ROMs quickly or 100 at once rather one at a time on cydia, you can use this.
in a nut shell, it lets you view and edit ALL files on your ipod.
its been tym since ive been ere on this blog
Alot of Spamming tho LOL
anyways just fort i give everyone a link to anuva blog
about redsnow http://ijailbreak2g.wordpress.com/
Mostly due to them screwing with their iPods now, instead of crying for a jailbreak method.
ever since i jailbroke my 2G its been great
and well just like to say keep up the good work
dont wori of how long it takes 4 untetherd just as long
as u get ther
=]
You have to connect to iTunes as if the iPod was "brand new out of the box" and activate the iPod.
However im a newb, as this is my first jailbreak, so im finding my way around it.
Can someone tell me how to use wallpapers downloaded from cydia? I have winterboard but i dont know how to use it.
Really grasping at straws here, because I find it as confusing as you do.
Is there a hex editor that can open and view files directly through an SSH connection, so I can compare the files on my PC and iPod, side by side, and verify the binary data is identical?
Can that file be duplicated by opening notepad, and entering the same text data, and "save as..." and add the appropriate file extension? If so, I might be able to get you the text info you need to repair your existing file.
But it's all back to normal now. Thank God for AptBackup.

The easy jailbreak method very automated n very easy
execialy with his helpfull video very informitive
Gotten it to work...no.
- Have A Mobile Finder, kind of like Windows Explorer on your iPod.
- Copy and Paste Ability with Clippy
- GBA, SNES, NES, even a PS1 Emulator(although this one is a bit slow atm).
- SBSettings, allows you to quickly control system options with one swipe, so that you can quickly adjust the brightness, or turn Wifi Off to save batter, A respring button, which is kinda like a soft reset, without actually rebooting.
- iMobileCinema, watch flash videos.
- Backgrounder, have apps running in the background.
- If you have a lot of apps, you can get the Catergories App and sort stuff into neat folders, saves a lot of space on your desktop.
- Enable Street View on Google Maps, basically you can turn this thing into a mini-laptop.
Some of it, I had already discovered, and some of it I didn't know.
This post is appreciated.
Hope it works for you eventually.
Also, enable "Manual Sync" option in iTunes, not "Auto Sync when connected to iPod"
I find my Apple store apps act funny when I place them in "Categories Folders", and iTunes claims I don't have permission, or something, to sync apps with iTunes, I forget the exact error message.
and so not worth jalbreaking just yet not till a better and safer one comes out
martin_daniel@live.com
Thanks.
Literally, no.
If you turn in a jailbroken iPod for service, they will not honor the warranty.
If you restore using iTunes, it will restore your iPod to it's state from the factory, and Apple will never know that it was jailbroken, and, honor any and all warranties. A nice run-on sentence. Hard to decide where to break it with commas.
As a new post, this is like the "Wacky Whizzer". It's Confusing, and Horrible.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9PMI8BQVC8
Did you connect to iTunes?
But now i restored my ipod to factory settings,starting my jailbreak all over again.How should i do it now,use cyw00d or follow from ipodtouch.com again???
If you got the first half of the procedure to go with no error messages, then you are jailbroken, and your problem is only on the reboot.
I would try to reboot manually, or use one of the many reboot EXE designs, like http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
'funny' coz of very useless, time wasting ppl, A.K.A n00bs.
Well anywaiz Keep it up Chronic!
-Plain iPod Touch 2nd Gen Rulez
But iPod Touch 2nd Gen Jailbroken just Dominates!-
First thanks for everything! =D
I managed to JB it with a video and a GUI with windows, but I noticed something..
my iPod doesnt play video's correctly?
Just sound and black screen..
and Yes I have it in the right format.
I even downloaded a vid on my iPod from youtube using a program from Cydia.
Same problem..
Besides that great work =)
Sorry to be so stupid i just carnt find them
Could someone plase post the links here
Thanks!!!!!
I made a shortcut key to my 1clickboot exe file, and placed it on my quicklaunch toolbar, so when I need a reboot, I can just click the button on my taskbar.
Thats much more User friendly than 1clickboot and does the job in around 3-4 seconds :P.
I have no idea why it would stop working, it's just a script that auto-inputs the binary code into RAM.
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
I imagine this result is desirable, rather than undesirable.
What do i need to apply themes?
WinterBoard or SummerBoard????
Ive just restored with the JB ISPW file then i need to Upload the DFU file then disconect and reconnect the Ipod but when i reconect im supposed to get a White screen, but i dont it stays black!! where am i going wrong???
Its the same stage as when i have just finnished installing the JB FW and itunes/Windows dont recognise the device... WTHAT THE FUCK DO I DO!
IM SHITTING MYSELF HERE
I NEED HELP QUICKLY!!!
Hold down the Home button for five seconds.
Keep it down, then start holding the power/sleep button for ten seconds.
Release the power/sleep button and keep holding the home button for about 30 seconds or so.
Did that and it worked!
IM SOOO NOT TRYING THE TETHERED JAILBREAK AGAIN!! EVER!!!
ILL WAIT FOR THE FINAL UNTETHERED VERSION!
WELL THAT WAS A SCARY HALF HOUR
sorry bout caps im just SO happy i dident have to take my ipod back to apple and come up with a bullshit story so i dont have to pay to get it fixed!
Not unless you're really trying to fuck it up.
Just DFU and restore. You are always able to revert the iPod to "brand new out of the box" condition.
when my computer says it not recognise it hold power and home button to the error message disapear the keep holding home button to you hear the usb sound. sorry for my bad english
1. the ipod has to be turned on and not off.
2. keep ipod plugged into computer
3.the screen will be black but should appear to be in recovery mode on itunes
4. do the 10 second thing that you were doing
The iPod takes an unusually long time to reboot, and it seems to "hang" on the apple logo for a few min, but it always works for me. I think the boot time increases the more crap you install on the system.
...:P
Why error 1604 when I try to restore to my custom firmware?
I swear to god if some idiots complain about me asking help ima beat them up :(
The 1604 error means you have a corrupt custom_restore.ipsw file. I have no idea why, but some computers compile it wrong. You're not the only one to have this problem, others have too, as well as I.
Try downloading this custom_restore.ipsw file that was kindly uploaded by erikdamasta:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I5BBVIGA
That's the same file I used, and I haven't gotten the 1604 error since I switched to using it.
jw if any had any success.....its on MuscleNerd's twitter
This is viewable on an iPod as well, just click the tiny "download" link.
http://www.channel101.com/shows/show.php?show_i...
Click view, then tap the quicktime window.
It works.
no that is def not what my name refers to it refers to the chicago bears....haha but that was funny
A group of comedians down in the LA area get together once a month, and pitch "pilot episodes" they make at home, for their online "TV Show".
It's a collection of some of the funniest crap I have ever seen in my life.
http://www.channel101.com/shows/index.php
but Stray have u tried to do anything with the "semi-tethered" jb?????
or am i just imagining that this wole thing happened??
If I am that worried about my iPod when I'm "on the go", I'll just bring my laptop with me.
But if I bring my laptop, then the iPod kinda becomes pointless or redundant.
its discussed here
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
if you can explain it better please do so i was just tryin to let the people that dont check the Dev Teams blog know whats going on
PLEAS HELP
Very desperate
muslenerd gave up...........
he already released the teathered so no untethered.......
it will NEVER come
iTunes reports it as recovery in either case, so it doesn't confuse customers, and cause Apple a ton of support "fan mail".
I read on the iphone dev team blog that he says exactly this:
"I think the phrase we used was something like "if it looks like it's starting to take too long", then we would release the tethered version. And although 2 weeks isn't *really* a long time, it started to feel long with everyone clamoring for it. :)
Now that we've released the tethered version, though, it's probably fair to say that the untethered version isn't a priority. So it's down in the normal mix of things we're looking at. A month ago it wasn't even in the normal mix :)
Also it's fair to assume that if we find something that can potentially be used for iPhone2,1, that we wouldn't possibly ruin that by releasing it for the iPod Touch 2G first (and tipping Apple off to the problem). The tethered ipt2g jailbreak had no potential application for the upcoming iPhone2,1."
or will come?
He's not reading any information, and posting made up crap, and then claiming redsn0w bricked his iPod.
I'm not sure he cares to know the truth, seems to have made up his mind to believe some fantasy.
How long does it take a miner to "strike it rich?
Now all we need is Ocean and his 12 friends to rob the bank.
Woo stupid quote of the day!
There are still prospectors that hunt the Mokelumne River out here, to this day. There are even open mineshafts to explore, but it's scary shit because there is a strong possibility of walking into a mountain cat den.
Don't bring a .22, better bring a .357 or .45 cal.
oopsie
Hard to say, but if you get as far as it booting up, and it crashes, there are not many troubleshooting options left for you to try.
I'm on Mac.
I haven't used a Mac in 10 years. I don't have the slightest idea what the popular software to use on the mac is these days.
Look up file compression utilities for OSX. I would try using the terms "open source" and "zip" possibly, for a hit on a good free utility.
Your tutorial didn't outline any software to use, for this step in the game?
The tutorial told me to download the 5H11a.ipsw from firefox, but I could only to get it to work with Safari.
I just right clicked, and "Open with..." and pick winrar.
I just want to thank you because it doesn't seem like your getting the thanks you deserve...I mean come on if it weren't for u stopping the spamming I wouldn't be able to find the posts that I MADE..but remember i'm sure everyone appreciates your help..did I say thanks?? Thanks anyways :P
..did I say thanks? XP
Unfortunately, it was so late and I became so exasperated and ended up rejailbreaking completely=\
And for some odd reason AptBackup didn't work this time. I've had to restore/rejailbreak so many times...it's insane. Hopefully the...5th time's the charm=)
Breaking it is the best way to learn about it. I have ruined more windows installs than I can remember, from constantly screwing with registry entries.
I will screw up the "registry" on this iPod eventually, and have to restore it too, no doubt.
Best way to learn how it works from the inside out.
I also like Categories, for cleaning up the "desktop", so to speak.
The Firefox Safari mod, Boss Prefs.
I use the SNES and Gba4iPhone emulation apps also, but those are not installed by Cydia.
I also made a few of my own icons.
Thanks
good site, they have like all firmwares
I mean like come on at least you got to jailbreak your ituoch :(
Btw Stray_Mongrel what iTunes version are you using?
that is what happened to my friend, but i got his working again.
Things seem to be "on the mend".
I found this site, and all the other websites doing a search for "3rd party programs for iPod Touch". It opened a can of worms, I didn't even know about jailbreaking.
I have to give all the credit to Chronic-Dev, for providing a thorough library of information to the public.
So...Thanks!
I have never received an error of that type before, you say this has occurred to you upon trying to install multiple packages?
My speculation is that something is screwy with your custom_restore.ipsw, or an error occurred in the restore process (maybe needs to be redone) or, maybe faulty hardware (I have no idea what the odds are that the iPod could just be faulty to begin with).
I can't say for sure, without actually seeing it in person, and, like I said, it's pure speculation. I would try to jailbreak it again and make sure my custom restore was a good file.
I would try to re-download, and restore that custom_restore.ipsw again.
im jst using dtunes rite now but its extremely unorganized and hard to navigate
its a tetherd jailbreak meaning anytime you reboot the ipod *not put to sleep a full shutdown* you have to connect to the computer and redo some commants. hope i helped
like in 2010?
They are coordinating it with the 2010 Olympics, and will have a release party that coincides with the Running of the Olympic Torch.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Olympic_Torch...
When the torch hits the cauldron, the server containing the precious untether jailbreak software will be connected to the internet, and the world will be finally untethered.
It will be a joyous occasion. It was supposed to be a surprise, but you ruined it.
Thanks, you killjoy.
they are giving up on jailbreaking the 2G
the teathered is fine thats how i got mine jailbroken.
Particularly idiotic when it's contrary to the official statements blogged by the actual Dev.
Biiiiiig whoop.
Everyone's dreams are fucked up. It's well known, and no human being on this earth is excluded from that fact.
And yes I have done research but it didn't answer any questions for me

You wouldn't want an actual YouTube link, cause it would rely on always having a stable connected to the internet, so a .gif would be better.

You can make up shit all day long, but at the end of the day, it's just "pretend".
So pretend to have an intellect, or continue posting, it's your call.
http://cyber-angel-blog.blogspot.com/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfK9_86XxR4
so what excatly is that? whats the diffrent between the other one
When your device reboots:
- If you are tethered to a computer and apply the appropriate commands,
your device will boot into a fully jailbroken state
- If you are NOT tethered to a computer or do NOT apply the appropriate
commands, your device will still boot but ALL JAILBROKEN
FUNCTIONALITY will be disabled. This is a temporary condition and
you can get back to your fully jailbroken state by doing a tethered
reboot. All of your jailbroken apps will remain in place but won't
be usable until the tethered reboot.
The concept is straightforward: set up the device so that on its own,
it boots using the official iBoot and kernel. But if you're around to
intervene during reboot, use the pwned iBoot and kernel instead."
READMEs are for READing.
Which means restart SPRINGBOARD.
And I tried manually powering off and powering on from safemode too.
This isn't going to work. -_-
However, there are other versions of it from Tapulous that DO include legally licensed music and are a lot of fun. You can find them in the App store.
Some PCs compile it with some apparent error, and iTunes refuses to upload it into your iPod. Download one compiled by a different computer, and use it instead. Windows XP seems to have the most success with that step of the process, I have heard of alot of Vista machines not cutting the mustard, when making the ipsw file.
I think we need more information about the process when you try to sync video. Does it give any errors? Does the little "sync timer bar" list the video items as it's listing it's sync tasks? Did you try to sync "only the videos"? Can you download a video podcast using the built in iTunes Store in the iPod? If so, does it play ok?
Really not enough information there to troubleshoot the problem.
Anyway, I'm excited at the prospect of a permanent 2G jailbreak even as an iPhone user, but I dare say that I doubt anyone, Chronic, the Dev Team or otherwise, is going to release an untethered jailbreak any time soon. The reason? If they exploit a hole in iBoot and Apple catches on, they may make a revision change to the next iPhone to prevent it. Musclenerd went so much to say that they would most likely keep such an exploit a secret until they determine if it can be used on an iPhone, which won't be released until later this year.
So until that happens, I'd suggest relaxing and get comfortable with a tethered jailbreak for now. The new redsn0w patch lets you boot a vanilla kernel, which at least provides a backup in case your iPod crashes out in the field and you are no where near a computer. You won't have your jailbroken apps, but at least the thing still works. Even for an iPhone, I'd be happy with that if there's no other way.
Why would you make that assumption here?
ok the sleep button sunk and threres a dead pixel on the screen and now all dead but the touch sensor still works and din't i told u that the stainless steel on my ipod had an electrical leakage, if i haven't got the ipod protector, i would have shocked and tossed my ipod lol!!! well theres 4 problem
dead pixel
dead all(screen)
electrical leakage
sleep button sunk
and this happened in the first month i bought it( bought in 28 dec 2008)
why?!?! why?!?! apple sabotaged me????
anyway, i'm busy watching asian love movies on TV...sad:( but i like to watch those ) like "turn left turn right" "love on the rock" "all about love" etc.
all sad but happy ending but not all has a happy ending( the girl is dead cuz of her body is rejecting the heart transplant bla..bla..).....
Don't tell me they are going to take apart that piece of junk, and repair all the problems with it, and give it back?
do you think that you could in some way create an app that you can download from cydia that can apply the redsn0w patch and reboot your ipod after you have jailbroken it with the semi tethered jb......
so it would be like your not near a cpu so you boot up with normal firmware but then you run the app and and it reboots ipod with redsn0w patch...
i have no idea if this is even possible so dont call me a dumbass or somethin i was just wondering if it is possible
And trust me..if you can, they will have done that.
The only thing closes to emailing them is through their IRC channel...
does anyone know how to annoy all the dev team members by PMing them "when are you guys gonna be done?!?!"
"my ipod's broken! how do i fix it?!?!!"
"so does this mean i can play SNES?!?!?"
"tethered? what does that mean!?!?"
They get enough annoying "update please" and "are you still working on it?" nonsense questions here as it is.
i know your tired of this question but will it be out for SURE 4th quarter 2009?
ps:this is not a spam
It was amazing.

Use a client like WinSCP, or Cyberduck to access and modify all files on your device.
P.S. RSLS = Red Snow Lite SEMI
It is either "they found it" or "they did not find it". There is no halfway.
That information has been clearly defined since December, I am really confused as to why people are still asking this. The information on it has been available to the public for a long time.
This is why asking for updates is utterly ridiculous.
if you jailbreak ur ipod successfully (using redsn0w) (not semi-thethered), could u still be considered a 'noob'?
cuz i jailbroke it with windows vista so if someone is able to do that, could they still be 'noobs?
im just asking cuz im curious on where i stand with all this lol
If you did, I would vote "not noob". You might still have a few things to learn, but as long as you're working on it, nobody has any right to judge you.
yeah i learned a few new things, but the majority of the jailbreaking i knew since im not too bad at following instructions lol.
but yeah thanks again
thanks chronic
oh and i see now nobody is asking for updates
good idea releasing tethered
how to do you like jump and pound on the ground. lol. idk how!
Reply back.
Well for rebooting an iPod Touch I suggest you get a "boot.bat" file from Phoenix_1018 at iPodTouchfans.com or I can give you the link to the download, but not many people trust other people with EXPENSIVE stuff now do they?
to remove clear libusb from device manager and uninstall it.thats all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfK9_86XxR4
on iPt2Gnews.Wordpress.com it says it was released by MuscleNerd.
Also it says "as you all know the tethered version of the iPod touch..." you need to add "tethered jailbreak", because one could ask " tethered version of what?" understand? Would you like me to help with your blog?

1. Open iTunes.
2. Connect ur iPod
3. Hold power and home for like 6-8 seconds, after you hear the windows USB disconnect soung, let go of power and continue to hold on to home.
4. Then you should hear a USB connected sound and iTunes should pop up saying something about a restore.
5. You are now in DFU mode.
6. You can either give up and restore to old firmware or try using a simpler tool, with something like Cywood's tool;
because of redsn0w...
come on lets get an update dev team!!

What apps should I get from Cydia?
I have veency, dtunes, categories, winterboard, and a few others
You could get installous if you want cracked apps, but I probably shouldn't say anything about that here.
Get "hClipboard", it's a global copy/paste that works amazingly
I have gpsphone, psx4iphone (although 1 game is like 400 mb), snes, nes, and genesis:P
What else do you recommend?
I LOVE SWAPTUNES cause I had to reinstall my OS, so I had nothing on it, and so I synced at my friend's house, and then used swaptunes to download apps and sync them from iTunes[cough even cracked] on my dad's laptop, but I have no music:p yay for dTunes
[yes i have installous]
BUT I /don't/ have TVUplayer I'll get, thanks :)
I love the iComplete theme in Cydia
I understand if the iPhone Dev don't but Chronic should, cause then he won't have anything else to do lol
thx.
anyway i want the PC version.
After downloading it. Don't even try to contradict me.
hard to get it in DFU mode after restoring tho, confusing with my chime and the vid's chime lol but then i paused it hahaha
ooh, you have to reboot back ur ipod after restoring.. thats the part everybody got problem
thx to all the dev teams!! and apple!!!
A)You just jailbroke
B)It's the day of love=P
SSH and set the permissions of the ROMs folder to 775.
EDIT: Try setting the snes4iphone folder permissions to allow read/write as well, to be safe.
I was downloading apps from cydia, and one told me to re spring after downloading, nothing unusual, but it took a really long time to re spring, and the wheel was spinning, but not doing anything. after about 5 minutes, I turned it off by holding power and home, and planned to go to my computer, and reapply the patch. But I hit the power button on my iPod, and I saw the apple logo, and it booted into safe mode! So I resprung, and everythng was back to normal! Please, any thoughts guys? Chronic? Stray?

a guy on youtube named "tysiphonehelp" has a video about it

That will outline pretty much what "becomes available" to people to jailbreak their iPhone/iPod Touch.
If you decide at that point that "yeah, I really want to do this", then read the procedure at:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
This is the manual procedure, and gives you a "gritty" idea of what you are doing to your iPod. Most of the hacking, is RAM hacking, and erases if you turn off your iPod. No permanent changes, except for the "HDD" that contains the actual system, which is erasable, and can be restored to "Brand New Factory" condition, in the event you screw it up, or decide you don't like it, or need to get the iPod fixed under warranty.
The Graphical User Interface method I see praised the most seems to be Cyw00d's creation:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
Use this if you're squeamish about manually hacking your iPod, this GUI provides all the steps scripted, and holds your hand through the entire process.
From that point on, you'll need to reconnect to a PC to reboot your iPod, until they develop a new method to apply the redsn0w, or 0wnboot patch internally. I use this script to reboot:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread....
Or I have seen it mentioned that you can follow the last part of the Cyw00d GUI Jailbreak Tool to reboot the device.
no not easier
these will tell u everything u need:

alright guys i installed the semi-t jailbreak and it worked fine and all but now instead of restarting properly it just keeps restarting, it dosent make it past the apple icon at all. the good news is that it will go into dfu mode so i can reenable redsn0w but i would still like to be able to boot up into regular firmware like the semi-t jailbreak is supposed to do.
any ideas? plz help and thanks in advance =)
here is a pic of it what do you think it is an Iphone or an Ipod touch?:

earlyer 2day my ipod reset and showed the itunes logo with the usb cable as if i was turning it on for the 1st time...when i went to connect it to itunes it said my ipod is in recovery mode and is still in recovery mode ive treid to restore 10 or more times ive tried shift click and just clicking restore and everytime it restores it gives me the same message saying its in recovery mode...
can anyone tell me how 2 get my ipod off recovery mode pleaseeeeeeeee
If any one wants to know just email me at bacosta37@yahoo.com or bacosta1993@gmail.com and another thing if you have a YouTube channel make video please because I've been try to contact youtubers but they don't even replie to my messages.
ssh your ipod and then backspace 3 times and then highlight all the files then delete them then just restore it on itunes on any firmware and just so you know this is also how you downgrade the 2.0 software and on the 2g ipod you can only go back down to 2.1.1
Then re-install it in XP sp2 compatibility mode and it /should/ work
and it's still very slow
plus, it doesn't even scoll down smoothly when I'm looking thru the all packages list
(that's an old processor)
Mine was custom
I bought all the parts and put it together with my dad
lol, it used to be pretty good, but now it's average :(
I want to upgrade:p
I have 2GB RAM, used to have Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, but downgraded to XP SP3 because the performance of vista SUCKS, it's way faster now :P
This has like 350gb memory and we bought a 1 terabyte external hard drive to back everything up LOL
so 1.35 tb of memory for us :D [western digital, costs about $120)
No, I don't have an Xbox 360
I have a wii & PS2
and I don't have it for PC
download 600+ movies! :
everythingi.webs.com
Click on the ad on the front page, cause I get paid for them LOL
and feel free to download the movies and other cool stuff
need anything, make a fresh post, this one is going in too much lol
alokg95@gmail.com
right click on the installer, and click properties, then on the 2nd or 3rd tab, u can set it to windows xp sp2 compatibility mode and then continue to install it then jailbreak :)
So you still have to run the installer in xp sp2 compat. mode

mine is : iComplete
it's excellent :D
and is there any way to send emails in landscape mode?
I know there are apps in the app store, but it's too annoying to open up the apps, type, then send to mobile mail.
any app in cydia that enables landscape in mail?
btw, get google street view enabler, you'll get street view in google maps, useless I know LOL
it's a small world
hmm, I'll get that
I, personally, get bored with a theme in only like 2-3 days
Vista Ultimate Perfection is a great theme!
I have a slight problem, anyone heard of the volume boost patch?
Well I installed it and it doesn't seem to work ):
Any ideas?
i think it is only for uk users becuase there is a law on how loud it can be in the uk . also while i was looking at it there wasnt a FW 2.2.1 version so that might be it too.
then again the ipods speaker blows so hard there really isnt a point to making it louder
The guys over at www.AllThingsCell.Com are offering discounts for any member of this blog. There offering 25%-50% discounts on every single item in the store.
From what I seen, they do not currently have many iPod items in stock, but whn I called the store, they said they were adding more soon. They do have some pretty cool iPhone accessories, and a cool stylus pen that works with the ipod touch, and iphone both.
All you have to do is enter this code: ipodfan
When your checking out, and you will get a 25%-50% discount on any items your order. I picked up a stylus cheaper than anywhere online after the discount, and its instant at checkout.
Just figured you all may be interested. Pretty cool to get discounts now for simply falling in love with an ipod. :)

1. go to ipodtouchfans.com
2. click forums
3. click ipod touch 2g
4. click redsn0w
5. look around on the first or 2nd page in this category:)

That's what Musclenerd posted a couple of hours ago on his twitter, they may be very close to a permanent..........8D
Getting that data to "self load" is difficult in the environment provided, and requires an exploit that is obviously well hidden.
Here is an analogy:
You have been at Disneyland all day, and when you exit the gate to go back to the hotel, you realize your jailbroken iPod Touch 2G is missing. Here are the facts in this hypothetical situation:
1) It fell out of your pocket.
2) It still remains within the borders of the property.
3) Nobody has taken possession of your iPod.
Answer these 2 questions based on the available information:
1) How long will it take to find your iPod?
2) Exactly when will you be 1/2 way done finding your iPod?
Don't forget to "update" everyone at 30 min intervals during the search, because people want to know how close you are to finding your iPod.
This analogy demonstrates how ridiculous it is, asking for updates, or guessing they are "1/2 way done".
i wonder if they have given up or if there really stumpt or they found it but getting all the bugs out
so many posibilitys but no one knows
but i guess only time will tell
and i know some dip shit will post some negative shit about this post like everyone always dose
Say your walking around school and your friend comes up and say's hey what in your pocket, and you say of course "It's my iPod Touch 2g"....So he ask's what in your other pocket and you say oh that's my "dongle'......WIERD
SHUT UP!!
Your comments get really annoying and after looking at the comments for about a month I have noticed that everybody thinks that your misinformed or have really bad predictions
BLACK SABBATH IRON MAN ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
here i am back again because i really want to use the new redsnow that came out

It's Max Levchin, one of the founders and CEO's of paypal.com reminding you that you can donate money to the Chronic Dev Team via paypal by sending money to the following address:
ChronicDevFund@yahoo.com
This money collected in the fund will be wired to directly to Chronic and his Dev team to thank them for all the work they've done. As an iPod Touch 2nd generation owner myself, I can't wait for the fabled untethered jailbreak or at least a reliable dongle device.

That the yellowsn0w fix for 2.2.1 was quickly implemented, and the 2G jailbreak research was back in full swing.
I wouldn't take it personal, there are many misconceptions about what is actually going on, despite Chronic-Dev's best efforts to keep the public 110% "in the loop".
There are a number of confusing, and outright ridiculous misconceptions being circulated, and I can't figure out why.
Maybe it's just due the logistics concerning the percentage of gullible people, that exist in any cross section of the general population.
