I have gotten posts on how to jailbreak an iPod Touch on 1.1.3, so for all of you who need this, follow the instructions carefully. It worked for my 16g, but it should be compatible with every iPod Touch. I didn’t write instructions for 1.1.4 because some apps don’t work for it yet and there isn’t a really safe way to jailbreak it that I like. I am assuming that you all need to be told every step so you don’t mess it up. No offense.
1. Restore your iPod Touch to Firmware 1.1.1
- Download the firmware at http://www.applewb.com/2008/03/04/list-of-all-iphone-and-ipod-touch-firmwares-10-102-111-112-113-114/
- Plug in your iPod
- Run iTunes
- When your iPod pops up, hold shift (option key for Mac users) and click restore
- Select the file you just downloaded and wait for your iPod to be restored
- Don’t add music or name your iPod yet.
- Unplug it after it has been restored (wait until you get to the screen that says Set Up Your iPod).
If your iPod had an unknown error when you tried to restore, you have two options.
1) This is a little trick that worked for me. Restore the firmware to 1.1.3 (download it at http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/061-4060.20080115.9Iuh5/iPod1,1_1.1.3_4A93_Restore.ipsw), then add just a few songs to it and sync it. Now try the restore to 1.1.1
2) Put your iPod into DFU mode. This is tricky, but it worked for me once. Go to http://dermapthera.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/how-to-make-your-ipod-touch-in-dfu-mode/
- Once it is in firmware 1.1.1
- On your iPod, go to Settings
- Click General
- Turn Auto-Lock to Never
2. Install AppSnap
- On your iPod, open Safari (it will ask you to choose your WiFi, do it)
- Go to the website www.jailbreakme.com
- Install AppSnapp
- Let it run and it will reset springboard
- Unlock your iPod and see it jailbroken
3. Install BSD Subsystem
- Open Installer. You will get an upgrade pop-up, do it. It will also say donate, but click later unless you really want to do that now
- Once done, go to the Install tab and under All Packages install BSD Subsystem
- Click the home button to refresh your iPod
4. Add Sources
- In Installer, click on the Sources tab
- Click edit, then add the source http://www.ijailbreak.com/repo.plist
- Click the home button
- Turn off your iPod
- Turn it back on
5. Jailbreak it to 1.1.3
- In Installer, go to the Install tab, then go to iJailBreakMobile
- Click iJaliBreakMobile 1.1.1 and install it
- Once installed, click the home button
- Before running this program, make sure you have a lot of charge as it will take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your WiFi Connection
- Click iJailbreak and wait for it to do its thing
- When it is done, it will restart your iPod
- If it doesn’t, and you wait more than five minutes, the hold the power and home buttons until it turns off, then turn it back on
6. Fixing Stuff
- In Installer, go to Install, All Packages, then install BSD Subsystem (I know you already did this, but it was deleted during the upgrade)
- In Installer, go to Install, iJailbreakMobile, then install Remove 1.1.3 Upgrade…
- In Installer, go to Install, iJailbreakMobile, then install iPod touch Software Up… (this will get you the wiggly feature and install the iPod Touch Software Upgrade), click home and click iJailbreak (it will do its thing and then restart your iPod)
- In Installer, go to Install, iJailbreakMobile, then install Fix Mail Passwords
- Add the source http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo
- In Installer, go to Install, All Packages, then install BossTool
- Once installed, click home and let the iPod refresh
- Click BossTools, Free Disk Space, then Relocate Fonts
- You can then uninstall BossTool in Installer in the Uninstall tab
7. Sync with iTunes
- Plug in your iPod and sync with iTunes (you can now add your stuff)
- Everything is now DONE
