Here are the steps for the 2G Jailbreak for the 3.0 software: Take them at your own risk.

1) Upgrade your firmware to 3.0 either the official way or via torrent. I would recommend restoring your iPod to its factory settings before you upgrade using the normal iTunes restore function.

2) Download the following link:
redsn0w 0.7

3) Extract the files from RedSn0w.zip and place them in a folder on your desktop (call it RedSn0w if you like).

4) Locate your IPSW file for 3.0. It should be located at:
C:\Users\*USERNAME8\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

5) Copy this file into the RedSn0w folder on your desktop

6) Put your iPod into DFU mode and connect to iTunes
- DFU mode: turn the iPod off. Then press and hold both the lock and home button for 10 seconds. Let go of the lock button while still holding the home button. Hold this button for another 10 seconds.

7) iTunes should tell you that your iPod is in DFU mode and that it needs to restore. Ignore this message.

Drag the IPSW onto the RedSn0w.exe

9) That’s it, Good luck!!

Tipps:
If you have any problems just try everthing again, you might have just made a tiny mistake.
You also need iTunes 8.2 for this to work.
