Update: If you have an iPod Touch with the latest 2.0 software you will need to downgrade your software from 2.0 to 1.14 before using this tutorial.

In my previous ZiPhone post, I was not as explicit with directions as my other jailbreak method. I am sorry. To make it up to you, here are DETAILED instructions for Jailbreaking your iPod Touch. For those of you curious, it takes up as much space as ONE song. So not a lot at all.

WARNING: If anything goes wrong, hold the home button and the power button until it turns off. Keep holding it until it shows the connect to iTunes image. Then try again. It should work the second time if the first doesn’t.

1. Restore your iPod to firmware 1.1.4

Plug in your iPod and run iTunes.
When your iPod shows up in iTunes, click the restore button
- This will erase everything on your iPod, but you can sync it later
Do not restore from a backup

2. Download ZiPhone

Download ZiPhone
Click on the downloaded file and let it install
If it doesn’t install, you need to download and install this .net microsoft file

3. Run ZiPhone

With your plugged in iPod and ZiPhone running, click Jailbreak (the second action)
Wait a minute, and your iPod will be jailbroken with installer on your home screen.

4. Get it Running

In installer, go to the Install tab, click all packages, and install BSD Subsystem
To get the January apps, go to the sources tab and click edit, and add http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml OR http://repo.applerepo.com
In the Install tab, go to iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps
Add the source
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

5. You are done

Sync with iTunes and enjoy your Touching
Keep reading ipodtouchhacks.com to see what the next steps are and what you can actually do now with your hacked device.

Zeberman, April 1, 2008:

I found that whenever I jailbroke it (second time round after a restore) I just got a loop of BSD root minor etc… After a major panic attack I followed the instructions on a YouTube video and restored my iPod. I tried jailbreaking it again using ZiPhone, but got the same result. I then tried iLiberty and it worked perfectly for me. I’m definitely recommending iLiberty as a good jailbreaking app (to iPod Touch owners, as it cannot unlock iPhones.)
Jan, April 1, 2008:

ZiPhone worked perfect for me a while ago. Zibri is a genius. Anyway, thank you for this post.
lastbeliever, April 1, 2008:

A good hacker just offered to hack my ipod touch for me. I was wondering… would you bother jailbreaking the iPod touch right now… or wait until June for the SDK to become fully available?

I’m stuck… and I need to let him know by tomorrow! Help!
rAwks, April 1, 2008:

To lastbeliever…

You might as well just jailbreak it right now. Once June hits, then you can just update it from there. Hope all goes well!
DS, April 1, 2008:

@lastbeliever

Believe me , don´t wait.. i was like you.. but then one day i got tired (mostly cos´ app13 is charging for an updte), and i use zip0ne… and all i can say is.. (I should done it soooooonnner) Sooo many days wasted…
tledbett, April 1, 2008:

About Bosstools. I never did install that. Should I install it?
tledbett, April 1, 2008:

What I mean is what are the consequences from not installing and running Bosstool?
tledbett, April 1, 2008:

I just had an idea. Might be lame but what about an app that lets you see your Ipod touch screen on your Pc screen. Then lets you run Ipod Touch app from your Pc and lets you play Ipod Touch games from your PC while your Ipod Touch charges. That would be ultimate for me as I could then just hide the screen when folks are around and then play when I am board at work.
tledbett, April 1, 2008:

Zeberman,

I got that same error everytime I used IpodTouchmaster’s ziphone hack method. Then when I used ZiPhone2.6 while my Ipod was plugged, unlocked, and I had Itunes open, it worked perfectly for me.
Dani, April 1, 2008:

i need help, i didnt realize that itunes had to detect the ipod again before starting to run ZiPhone and i stopped the process in the middle of the jailbreak and now my ipod wont do anything! can i fix it? i need help please!
rAwks, April 1, 2008:

To tledbett…

You should mos def install Bosstools. Bosstools will give you A LOT more space to install apps. If you don’t install it, you won’t have much memory for apps. Just trust me…you should just install it! If you have the programming skills, that idea is pretty cool. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 1, 2008:

To Dani…

What’s going on with the iPod? Are there a buncha white text on your iPod? I need more details to help you out.
Parab, April 1, 2008:

hey rAwks

i jailbreaked my ipod touch 16 gb, i disconnected from pc after completion, now moment i m starting itunes i error msg saying

iTunes could not connect to the iPhone “”because unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).

is coming please help me get rid of that

thanks in advance
Parab, April 1, 2008:

oops i forgot to tell again again system is saying found digital camera, installing software and then installed.

msg is coming specially when i disconnect ipod
Tledbett, April 1, 2008:

Parab,

Is your touch locked or asleep when you plug it in?
Parab, April 1, 2008:

it is still functional but cant synchronize with itunes
Pedro, April 1, 2008:

Is the jailbreak with Ziphone 3.0 working well for the 16 GB Touch? I read was working for the 8 GB
I have a 1.12 jailbroken… Is worthy to take the risk?
Regards
rAwks, April 1, 2008:

To Parab…

Try doing the jailbreak again. Sorry for the hassle and the lag. All you have to do is a hard reset on your iPod. Then restore it to factory settings 1.1.4. Then do the jailbreak again! Let me know if you have any more problems. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 1, 2008:

To Pedro…

I don’t know first hand if it works well, but they’re advertising a lot of nice bug fixes. I’ve read around and nobody really mentions it not being able to work on a 16 GB iPod Touch. I used the 2.6 Ziphone and that was great. Lots of people agree with me, but some will disagree. I would jailbreak your iPod to a newer version than 1.1.2 cause you don’t have the “wiggle” feature and adding web apps to your home screen. I would say try it out because I know a few people that waited and waited for the next best thing. They regretted waiting around! If you need any help just let us know. Here’s a link to a site that talks about Ziphone 3.0: http://lonman06.com/2008/03/30/ipod-touch-ziphone-30-released/
Hope all goes well!
Dani, April 2, 2008:

yes there is a lot of white words and every few seconds it produces a new line after all of the other words that says the same thing:

BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

can you help me out? i dont know what to do and im freaked.
Dani, April 2, 2008:

also it wont recognize on itunes anymore and the ZiPhone jailbreak wont complete without iTunes having the ability to detect the iPod when it is plugged in..

i didnt know much about jailbreaking when i tried, so thanks for the help!
The Lone Stag, April 2, 2008:

To Dani:

Do a hard reset. Hold power and home until it turns off. Keep holding until it has the connect to iTunes logo.
tledbett, April 2, 2008:

I read that blog about ZiPhone3.0 and lots of folks are asking if they should re-jailbreak with the new vesion. I personally cannot see a reason to redo it if you have a working Jailbroken unit. That’s just my opinion though. Anyhow, the Jailbreaks do work for the most part. I just found that it worked best for me if I made sure that through the entire process I kept Auto-lock set to never and did not disconnect my unit from the cable until I was completely finished. The hard restore worked best for me if I did it while it was connected to the computer and Itunes was already open. Little things that many lay-persons would not think of make a world of difference.
New iPod Owner, April 2, 2008:

these are really good ideas but i have another problem i went to ZiPhone.com and when i did i was in the middle of jailbreaking my iPod touch and it went into recovery mode so should i restore it to factory settings or not or should i do a hard reset can anyone help me!!!!:-) im new at this so i might sound stupid so i just need a lot of help right now, and one more thing should i use a different website is i should can someone give me one because the only one i know of is http://www.ZiPhone.com

I need a lot of help can anyone give me any suggestions???
Tledbett, April 2, 2008:

I don’t follow. You were at the ziphone.com WHILE you were jailbreaking? ZiPhone puts your ipod touch into recovery mode to jailbreak it. Go here.
http://www.ziphone.org/
Download ziphone. You will definitely want to restore it to factory settings. Should be using firmware 1.1.4. After you have restored your Ipod Touch to 1.1.4 factory settings, LEAVE Itunes open and your ipod plugged in. Run ziphone and click jailbreak. Let it work. Basically using ziphone from ziphone.org follow the instructions at the top of this forum. Good luck to ya.
Dani, April 2, 2008:

The hard reset didn’t work, anything else i can do to fix it?
Lawrence, April 3, 2008:

What if i did not restore my ipod touch to its original conditions. i did not do this and it still worked for me when i jail breaked it. is this bad? and i was not able to restore it when i got my ipod so can someone help me? like i said above would anything bad happen if i did not restore it?
Nick, April 3, 2008:

my iPod touch freezes up every time i try to add the January apps(http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml)???? and i am getting a “no roms found” error after i’ve tried to download some games??? any helpful ideas…

thanks
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Dani…

Are you trying to say that the method of doing the hard reset did not work?
OR
Are you trying to say the hard reset wasn’t working?

Well, if you did the hard reset, you would hold down the home button with the wake/sleep button down until the device shuts off. Keep holding it down until the Apple logo screen appears. Finally let go when the connect to iTunes screen appears. Once that appears, then restore your iPod to 1.1.4 and do the jailbreak again. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To New Ipod Owner…

Just make sure your iPod is firmware 1.1.4 before you do the jailbreak. Also, get the download from ziphone.org and NOT ziphone.com. Follow the instructions on here and you’ll do fine. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Lawrence…

I don’t think it’s bad if you have stuff on your iPod and you jailbreak it. I think we just suggest it be pretty empty, so we know…something you have on it won’t cause a problem. What version iPod do you have? If you’re 1.1.4 you are set to jailbreak it, but if you’re a lower version…restore it, so it’ll bring it to factory settings plus it’ll keep you up to date with the latest version. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Nick…

Alright, Lone Stag and I are writing a post with all these questions…it won’t be up YET, so I’ll answer it for you. To fix the keyboard from freezing in Installer, make sure to be on the main screen of your iPod. Click on Contacts and click the + to add a new contact. Then click on any of the boxes (I clicked on the First Last box) and just type in whatever you want for about 10 seconds. Once you’re down typing away, click cancel and then click cancel again. Once you do that, just click the home button and this should fix your keyboard from freezing in Installer. Hope all goes well!
GrubLord, April 3, 2008:

Hmm, I recommend staying away from this app.

I installed it on an iPod Touch, and not only won’t the iPod start in anything but recovery mode any more, but it seems to be impossible to restore the firmware, since it no longer appears in iTunes and gets an “unknown error 0xE8000022″ whenever you try to connect it.

Anyone managed to restore from this point? I haven’t been able to get anywhere from here.
Jeff, April 3, 2008:

Ok, after running ziphone for a little bit I unplugged my touch and now this series of white letters wont go awhile…it has something like this. “Singleuser boot — fsck not done
Root device is mounted read-only

If you want to make modifications to files:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
If you wish to boot the system:
exit

But my computer or iTuens doesn’t recognize the ipod when i connect it. Someone please help.
Tledbett, April 3, 2008:

Lawrence,

I had all my contacts on my Ipod and my mail set up and some music when I Jailbroke it. Not bad.
Tledbett, April 3, 2008:

Grublord, following the instructions has worked for me. That goes out to Jeff as well. I do not know what would possess you to disconnect while it is jailbreaking. ZiPhone truly does work. To Dani, the hard restore will work if you just give it time. I had to hard restore many times until I found the way that worked for me. To be clear, you do not jailbreak right out of the box. Let Itunes see your unit and update it. Then see what firmware you are on. If you are on 1.1.4 then you can jailbreak it.
Tledbett, April 3, 2008:

Concerning Rawks comment on the freezing keyboard. His suggestion worked like a charm for me.

Jeff, April 3, 2008:

How do I hard restore the iPod? I’ve held the home button and the top botton until I got the apple logo but after the Apple logo a series of numbers and letters scrolls for a little bit, then stops and does nothing after that. On top of that neither iTunes nor my computer recognizes the device when I plug it in, any fixes for that, or is my iPod shit now?
badm, April 3, 2008:

I have a problem i dit everything but if i try to instal something it gifs a error (package download failed! )

can anybody help my
Tledbett, April 3, 2008:

to jeff and back, jeff when you see the apple logo let up on the power button while still holding the home button until you see the connect to iTunes button. Do this with your iPod plugged in iTunes oopen. Badm, that message means either your not connected to wifi or maybe the package is not compatible. I want to install five dice but get that same error
Terry b, April 3, 2008:

Hi everyone,
ran jailbreak on my ipod. wont let me install any apps. Sounds silly i know but does it need to be connected to wifi to load the apps
Terry b, April 3, 2008:

cant even install bsd subsystem. what am i doing wrong???
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Jeff and Jovan…

Just do a hard reset. Hold the home button with the wake/sleep button down. Hold it until the device shuts down. Keep holding it down and the device will start up and keep holding it through the Apple logo screen. Finally let go when you get the connect to iTunes screen. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Jeff and badm,

Make sure nothing is in your queue in Installer. If there is, make sure to clear it out. Try turning off and on your device. Also, did you install Bosstools?!? Make sure to install this to make more room for apps. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 3, 2008:

To Terry b…

You do actually have to be within wifi to download apps through Installer. So…I guess that answers your question about BSD also right. Hope all goes well!
Stein, April 3, 2008:

Hey,

when i added the january app source, the ipod freezez and cant do anything. When it unfreezez(takes some time) i try to get into Installer and i get nothing up and it freezez again.

Hello

I’ve just jailbreaked my iPod touch 16Gb according to this sites recepie.
And it seems to work fine, the installer symbol comes up.
But when I am trying to install BSD subsystems it comes Error Package download failed. I have tried to clear cues and everyting else that is mentiond in this forum.
So I just wonderd what BSD subsystems are? If it is nessecary. Becaus I have no problem with installing other stuff, such as games=)

The Lone Stag, April 4, 2008:

To Stein:

Reinstall installer. On the home screen of installer, click the logo and reinstall.
The Lone Stag, April 4, 2008:

To SindreKul:

Forget about it. It is automatically installed.
The Lone Stag, April 4, 2008:

To EVERYONE:

Are you actually reading the instructions? Read the warning. It helps.
dloader girl, April 4, 2008:

Actually from what I know using ZiPhone sets your MAC address to static (it spells Zibri in ascii), and doing that is a big danger because no 2 people are supposed to have the same MAC address. (Maybe causing the wifi problem?) So ZiPhone is NOT the right way to jailbreak.

I used iLiberty+ and have no problems whatsoever with it. iLiberty ftw.
Tledbett, April 4, 2008:

Has anyone seen a version of Iquiz for the Ipod touch in any of the repos?
Tledbett, April 4, 2008:

Also, is there a freeware video converter for the Ipod touch? hehe
Tledbett, April 4, 2008:

dloader girl:

Could you post a link to the iliberty software and also to some helpful videos on using it for the readers?

Thanks
rAwks, April 4, 2008:

To Tledbett…

Are you trying to look for the quiz with the music trivia?!? If you are, it’s called Music Quiz.

What type of converter are you looking for? Are you looking for things to convert youtube video to your iPod…DVD to iPod??!?

Hope all goes well!
Tledbett, April 4, 2008:

I found a free converter. Is music quiz the same game that you can create your own quizes? There is an iquiz. Maybe that is the app that is used to create custom trivias. These are what I am looking for
Tledbett, April 4, 2008:

rAwks:

Nope, iquiz. You can create your own quizes with iquiz maker. It would be great if there was a version of the game for Ipod Touch.

help please!

thanks!

well actually everything in installer is slow..
and i dont know why when you touch something it just froze
zoomah, April 5, 2008:

tyvm worked for me
dloader girl, April 5, 2008:

iliberty can be found =

http://ipluspwns.com/?q=node

The software is pretty self explanatory, so I think there shouldn’t be a need for a video. But I can give you the steps:

Install and run iLiberty onto your computer.

Plug in your iPod, and check Jailbreak and Installer ONLY! If you’re on the iPhone, you can click the other stuff, but its important for you to check ONLY Jailbreak and Installer. Not even the Youtube fix.

Click Go for It.

It will ask you to unplug and plug in your iPod. Do that. No need to close iTunes. JUST IGNORE IT throughout the entire process. Don’t click anything even if it says something about recovery mode.

20 seconds later, Jailbroken iPod.

There is an advanced tab at the top, which allows you to install payloads (apps). I personally didn’t do any of that, for fear of doing something wrong, and you can do it all on installer anyway. But you can try. After selecting what you want then click ‘Go For It’ Bam, jailbroken.

Now when the iPod gets to the springboard for the first time, go into contacts or safari (or anywhere that brings up the keyboard EXCEPT INSTALLER) and type gibberish for about 10 seconds or so. This is to prevent the keyboard freeze-crash sequence that some users have experienced (I did with ZiPhone .. and that sucked)

After the 10 seconds or so, THEN go into Installer and start doing whatever you want to do.

Feel free to ask me more questions (I’ve got nothing else better to do) if anything goes wrong, like apps not working properly and such. I’ll be happy to answer.
dloader girl, April 5, 2008:

@ Tang:

Thats probably the keyboard freeze thing I was talking about. YOu’ll have to rejailbreak and do what I wrote in the steps above.
Luis, April 5, 2008:

ipodinjail, April 5, 2008:

Guys, I got a new ipodtouch with the current 1.1.4 (4A102) firmware. I paid $20 more to get some applications like mail, weather, and maps. I am trying to see if it is worth it to jailbreak. What I don’t like about my touch now is that
1. I can’t watch flash movies through safari.
2. I can’t connect to wifi with certificate.
3. I can’t save directions in maps so I can have them when I am offline and driving.
4. I can’t chat.
I wonder if jailbreaking would solve the above shortcomings and if it does, do the to-be-added applications depend on the method of jailbreak: iLiberty+, or Ziphone? which method offers more applications in that case, particularly regarding the above shortcomings?
many thanks
rAwks, April 5, 2008:

To ipodinjail…

Well, first off…sorry you spent $20 on the apps cause when you jailbreak you can get them for FREE. Lets see…flash is not working on the iPod/iPhone yet (it’s a rumor…it might not even happen at all). For wifi…you just have to connect to an open source. About maps…I know you have to be in a wifi area to get the directions, but once you have it on your device…it should still be there. When you jailbreak, you can get some apps which will allow you to chat.

Jailbreaking your iPod is all the same…using iLiberty over Ziphone…doesn’t matter. Some people have problems with iLiberty…some people have problems with Ziphone. You just have to choose which one you want to use. I personally used Ziphone and it worked fine. Some people don’t like it cause they got a buncha problems, so they went with iLiberty and it worked great. You don’t get MORE apps by choosing either Ziphone or iLiberty jailbreak. You can add sources into the Installer to add more apps for you to download. If you need more info or anything, let us know. Hope all goes well!
dloader girl, April 5, 2008:

@ ipodinjail:

Yep, exactly what Rawks said. It all depends on which jailbreak causes you problems. I used Ziphone initially and nothing worked, and then iLiberty saved me. But other than that, there is no real difference between the 2 methods (seeing as how one of them is using stolen code from the other)

Just to expand on what Rawks has said:

Flash has not been incorporated into the ipod/phone yet. So nothing that you do now will change that, even if you take it apart and threaten to smash it to bits .

You will have to clarify what you mean by wifi with certificate. If you mean a wifi network with a password, then no, even with a jailbreak you will not be able to connect with it. You will still need a password. Its more if a network thing than an ipod issue.

I don’t think you can save directions with a jailbreak either (but I’ve never tried). Again, this is less of a ‘jailbreaking’ thing, and more of the Maps software capability thing. You can try though, you never know.

BUT YES, you can chat. Ooh, you can chat like you’ve never chatted before There are SO MANY chatting apps out there floating around, you really can take your time and see which one suits you best. MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, AIM, ICQ, take your pick. And some apps come with all those chatting platforms altogether minimizing the need for you to download individual chat apps.

And yes, we’re all here to help you, any time =)

Trevor, April 6, 2008:

every time I try to install iphone 1.1.4 (step 4 part 3) my itouch says… Error package download failed! Why? Someone please help! Driving me crazy! I also don’t get step 4 part 4…add the source?
dloader girl, April 6, 2008:

@ Trevor:

Clear your queues and try again. maybe iptm’s server is down. It happens. If you still can’t get that to dload, add this source:

http://iappcat.com/r/5778

Its one of the best sources out there for 1.1.4 compatible apps that I’ve found. Everything you need for 1.1.4 is in that source.

And as for Step 4 part 4, he means add this source: http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo

Hope I helped.
Vic, April 6, 2008:

hey, i got a 8gb touch and installed this as directed, but when i go to install, i installed 1 game and now anything i try to install it gives me an error of ” package download failed” anyone have any ideas? plz email to V_Briggs1982@yahoo.com. so dumb at this, desprately needs help!!!!
ipodinjail, April 6, 2008:

To dloader girl, and rAwks
Thank you guys for offering help and for the info. To clarify my question regarding the wifi with certificate is when you try to connect to a company server at work, or at university once you hit the network to connect a pop up pops out and ask you if you accept the certificate, if you say yes then it will ask you for user name and password. I have no problem to connect to a network with password, but I do have a problem connecting to the network at work eventhough I entered in “manual” my user name and password. So flash working on iphone is a rumor!, interesting!. Have you seen some people on youtube using some javascript code loaded into safari as a plugin and they show you that it works?!!. So there is no plugin created yet for safari (on ipod) to view flash? I mean in principle if you can view a pdf file through safari why would it be hard to view a flash video?. Guys I don’t know if you paid attention to the version on my ipod it is 1.1.4 (4A102), the code in pranthesis is for something I don’t know yet, but I guess it is for the added software that I paid the additional $20 to get. Now if I want to jailbreak I have to downgrade to 1.1.4 I guess?!.
Now here is a question. What are, if any, the irreversible deadpoints for Ziphone? for iLiberty+? at this time, I have seen something like grayed wifi, downgraded bootloop..etc in some posts related to Ziphone.
Thanks
Hartiger!, April 6, 2008:

Ok, i was just about to jailbreak my ipod, but have read where loads of people have messed up their iPod completely? What are the chances of my iPod crapping up beyond repair? I’m worried! X
dloader girl, April 6, 2008:

@ ipodinjail

I’m sorry, but I can’t help you out with the wifi at work thing, I’v'e never encountered that before =(

However, yea flash at this point is like dangling candy in front of a baby and just placing it out of reach. I’m not a pro about the software side of the ipod, so as far as I know, no such plugins yet… There may be some trying to work on it, but its highly improbable.

No, the code in the parenthesis is the same for everyone, disregarding the 20 dollar upgrade. Its just a little firmware code for the people at Apple. The 20 dollar upgrade does not change your firmware number in any way. You don’t have to downgrade anything. Just do a restore to factory settings (as in restore to 1.1.4 again.) And then start the jailbreak. No downgrading required, and don’t worry, you’ll be able to sync your purchased apps back into your restored ipod.

Now as for the deadpoints, I’m gonna admit that I will be slightly biased against ZiPhone. First of all its sort of a stolen jailbreak from the original jailbreak developers. Second of all, using ZiPhone sets the iPod’s MAC address to a static one, which means EVERYONE who used ZiPhone now has the same MAC address. This is bad.

ZiPhone does on occasion give users the wifi/bluetooth/youtube not working problem, but as far as I know versions 2.6b and 3.0 sort of fixes it. But there are still people complaining about it.

My personal choice will be to use iLiberty+. Its more stable, and so far none have complained about broken wifi or bsd minor major spamming. Which is GREAT. The only snag is the freeze keyboard I think, and in my steps that I posted yesterday that can be easily taken care of.

so yeah, in a nutshell, I’d use iLiberty+ instead of ziphone anytime. I hate thieves…

@ Hartiger:

Your iPod will NEVER be beyond repair (unless you’re pwning 2.0, but thats another matter altogether).

Restoring pretty much fixes everything, and you can set the ipod into DFU mode if you can’t restore. Its NOT able to brick, contrary to popular belief. Only iPhones can brick, due to basebands… You’re safe.
Makster, April 6, 2008:

I jailbroke my ipod and now i am having a problem with BSD Subsystem…when i try to install it this message comes up “Error Package Download failed!”…what do i do or what didnt i do…”i went to installer clicked the install tab…then under all packages i went to BSD Subsystem 2.0 Termfix and click install and it says that message
dloader girl, April 6, 2008:

You have to download BSD first before downloading the termfix….

Firstly clear queues, and the install BSD Subsystem, and THEN download the termfix
Makster, April 6, 2008:

i tried some other packages…like games “NES”…and it wont let me install anything!!!:’(
Makster, April 6, 2008:

BSD subsystem 2.0 termfix is the only “BSD…” thing i see
Makster, April 6, 2008:

i just went to uninstaller tab and see “BSD Subsystem” as something i can reinstall…wat does that mean
Makster, April 6, 2008:

nvm i fixed yeah

Fitzy, April 7, 2008:

is it safe to jailbreak my 8gb? I just got it today and I don’t want it to break…
The Lone Stag, April 7, 2008:

To Fitzy:

It is quite safe. If anything goes wrong, the team is here to help.
Fitzy, April 7, 2008:

Ok so whats the best method for 1.1.4?
The Lone Stag, April 7, 2008:

To Fitzy:

Try ziphone. The instructions are above you.
Josh, April 7, 2008:

This really works!! Try it its great!!!
PHER, April 7, 2008:

is it safe to jailbreak my 16Gb?? I just got it today and I don’t want it to break cause some people told me they exist some trouble with this…
please answer me! i just download de ZIphone an install it but i dont be sure of break it…:S
PHER, April 7, 2008:

SOME PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IPOD TOUCH 16GB HAVD SOME TROUBLES WITH THE JAILBREAK,
IALSO I WANT TO KNOW WHERE DO I GET THE APPLICATIONS TO DOWLOAD PROGRAMSS MUSIC ETC..
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To PHER,

I own a 16 GB iPod Touch and I used the Ziphone method. I got the jailbreak in less than a minute. It’s true that that some people do run into some problems, but if you do…read the latest post from Lone Stag and myself. I just jailbreaked an iPhone using Ziphone and everything worked perfect. When you jailbreak your device, you will get an icon on your device called Installer. This is where you would download apps and all those things. You mention what apps to download music…you have to use your computer to get music (Limewire, BearShare, etc.) Hope all goes well!
PHER, April 7, 2008:

thanks a lot rAwks, it just goes so well
but when some applications appears a window that says: ” This version of Customize requires Firmware 1.1.(123). ” and i think i have the 1.1.4. version
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To PHER…

The new Customize just came out…it’s Customize 2.0 and it works with 1.1.4. You have to add a source: repo.ipodtouched.net

I’m pretty sure that’s the source. Hope all goes well!
PHER, April 7, 2008:

i just added that source rAwks, thanks again,
and i appreciate if somebody tells me where and how do i upload NES and SEGA games to my ipod and thats all.
thank a lot
PHER, April 7, 2008:

i just added taht source but didnt appears that Customize 2.0, i have the Customize (Old) and the Customize 1.2 i think that cames with the ZIphone jailbreak 3.0, how do i upgrade or download that 2.0 version?
PHER, April 7, 2008:

Most of the package doesnt get install bescause it says that this version of Customize requires Firmaware 1.1.(123).!!!!, why is taht appears to me?
PHER, April 7, 2008:

why that message of
ERROR
This version of Customize requires Firmware 1.1.(123)

hate it so much, sorry for tha many times i said it.
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To PHER…

When you added that source, it adds a folder into your Installer named “iPod touched.” Go in that folder and it has the new Customize 2.0. That should solve your problem. When you install it and if it crashes on you…download the SUID Lib fix in the “Tweaks (1.1.3)” folder.

To get NES and Genesis ROMs, you have to download them and SSH them into your iPod. There are sources you can add, so you can install those packages and the games go into your iPod. I know there are some NES packages out there, but I don’t know about Genesis. Hope all goes well!
biv, April 7, 2008:

ive got an ipod touch 16gb using firmware 1.1.4, did the jailbreak using ziphone v3.0. got the istaller, but it doesnt work, i tried refreshing sources but it wont update, also i cant add anything in the installer, tried adding google.com. but wont refresh. any help would be appreciated
dloader girl, April 7, 2008:

Lol.. iQuiz?

Is it totally crazy that I don’t know what that is? And if you’re asking me to port it to the iPod…

I’m not that good
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

dloader girl:

that is a trivia game for Ipod. You can actually buy it on Itunes. There is an iquiz maker that can be downloaded to edit and create more trivia quizes for it as well. One of the many things Apple doesn’t support for our devices.
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

The new Customize seems to work well when the SUID fix is applied. although I have not been able to find many really nice themes. In the videos I have seen they show lots of options for lots of items. but I haven’t had that luck hehe.
Jack, April 7, 2008:

I have a huge problem, My itouch wont respond all the way down the screen it says
BSD root : md0, major 2, minor 0
BSD root : md0, major 2, minor 0
BSD root : md0, major 2, minor 0
and so on, my itunes wont recognize that the itouch is connected either.
What do I do?
Jack, April 7, 2008:

oh and I tried to restart it but the same thing comes up, Help
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To Jack…

Don’t just restart it…do a hard reset. Read the latest post on how to do it. Hope all goes well!
PHER, April 7, 2008:

hehehe here i am again…:$ i just added the http://repo.ipodtouched.net to sources and the folder for that is:Untitled Source, i dont know how to get in there, also i try on the safari but doesnt works..
rAkws help me please, thank you
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To PHER…

I thought that was the source…try this one.

ipodtouched.net/repo.xml

Hope it works!
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

I used the source Rawks listed
PHER, April 7, 2008:

same as the last one, maybe i have to restore it and then jailbreak again.
thanx anyway rAwks you help me a lot!
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To PHER…

There’s no need to jailbreak again. There might just be an error with the repo for the time being. Just wait…it might work eventually throughout the day. I know sometimes when the repo is down…the source will go in the untitled source. Since Customize 2.0 just came out…maybe lots of being are trying to grab it.

Let’s try this again. I’m going to go step by step on adding sources. You probably know how to do this, but I’m just making sure.

1. Go into Installer
2. Click on the Source tab on the bottom right
3. Click edit on top and then click add
4. Add “repo.ipodtouched.net” or “ipodtouched.net/repo.xml”…forgot which one works
5. After you put it in…it should refresh your sources
6. Click on the Install tab and find the folder that says “iPod touched”
7. Install Customize 2.0 beta

Hope it all goes well!
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

I have spent the last few hours messing with the Customize2.0. It is not stable at all. It opens very slowly and then you have to uninstall and reinstall the SUID fix each time you want to open it. then after a while that doesn’t work either. i like the idea of using Customize but it just takes way too long to open or move between items and several of the themes I installed as well as image sets just did not show up at all. First time I did not enjoy messing with my ipod. hehe
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To Tledbett…

Since Customize 2.0 is still a beta app…there’s going to be some bugs and errors. I’m not sure why you have to uninstall and reinstall the SUID fix. My customize is working fine. I don’t really like the new Customize so far, but I haven’t really played around with it that much. I thought the old Customize was easier to use because it had pictures, which made it user friendly.
PHER, April 7, 2008:

Here is a question: between step 5. and 6. i have to see that the source appears with that name too? i go to the installer tab and doesnt appears that folder… i have to wait? and its have to be in the All Package categories?
dloader girl, April 7, 2008:

@ PHER:

Again, the server may be down at the moment, so wait patiently if the source doesn’t get refreshed. Alternatively if you want to get Customize, you can add this source:

http://iappcat.com/r/5778

Its got a working Modded Customize that works. (I’m using it) Just look in the !Starter kit folder after you refresh.
PHER, April 7, 2008:

thanks! am gonna do it right now!, dloader girl!!
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

raWks,

I had never tried the old customize since there were several steps to getting it to work.
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

I am blowing other ipod Touch owners’ minds when they see the things I have my looking like.
rAwks, April 7, 2008:

To Tledbett…

I honestly like the Customize before the Customize 2.0. It was a lot easier to use as I mentioned earlier. Customize 2.0 has new things like SMB prefs in it and stuff like that, but…I would rather want something user friendly.
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

rAwks,

What is the process to install that customize and what is the version number?
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

Tried the modded Customize1.0 from Ipodtouched.net and it just went to open and then closed like 2.0 did.

Didn’t see any !Starter kit folder that dloader girl mentions.
Tledbett, April 7, 2008:

got that earlier Customize going and it is smoother. Makes me wonder if the 2.0 wouldn’t have worked better with the compatibility patch. 2.0 allows themse and wallpapers. When it is more stable should be nice. the older one has actual images to use which is nice.
BOB, April 8, 2008:

Ok so I can’t connect with my touch . . .. is there anyway to get a hardwire connection? (cord from ipod to internet server) I mean could I like buy one of those somewhere or would it just hook in
dloader girl, April 8, 2008:

Bob, you need to be more specific.

What do you mean when you say can’t connect? Can’t connect to a wifi network? Can’t connect to WinSCP? Can’t connect through iTunes? Can’t connect through Total Commander?

If you’re talking about internet (wifi) which I think you’re most probably talking about. I doubt there is a way for you to ‘hardwire’ an ipod to an internet modem. But then again, you never know what people can come up with.

Give us some specifics =)
dloader girl, April 8, 2008:

@ Tledbett

Glad you solved your Customize problem =)

Oh, the category that I was talking about (!Starter Kit) is from the http://iappcat.com/r/5778 repo, not the same one as rawks was talking about.

Hey i have jailbroken my ipod touch 8gb but whenever i try and download games it shows up as package download failed. The only thing i was able to recieve the january apps but thats it. I’m new to this and i appreciate any help that can be given. If you wann email me you can at jdphill@ksu.edu thanks!
Tledbett, April 8, 2008:

jphillips:

take a look around these forums. I am positive your issue has been addressed at least twice hehe.
Tledbett, April 8, 2008:

jphillips:

See?

ERROR PACKAGE FAILED

The unwelcome “Error Package Failed” pop up appears when you try to install an app in Installer. To fix this problem, make sure in Installer that there is nothing in your queue. If you cleared it and you install again and nothing happens, clear the queue again and restart your iPod. You shouldn’t get that error again.

Hope that helps. you should find answers to every question youcan think of addressed a couple times or so.
lukebunny, April 8, 2008:

Hi there, I followed all these steps, but the mail, note, and weather apps do not show up on my home screen. I’m wondering if I am missing a step somewhere? When I open up “Poof” (the icon hiding app) they show up in there as though they should be visible on the springboard…Hmmm…
natalie, April 8, 2008:

I tried to jailbreak my 8BG ipod touch. i bought the january upgrade when it came out. so i dedcided to install ziphone and jailbreak my ipod. i did everythingright, i followed the instructions exactly. so when i turned my ipod back on, everything was gone and the installer app was there. i tried to install the bsd thing and it wont let me it says that it is an invalid certificate. and the same thing happens when i try to install bosstool. when i tried to get the january apps, it went through but then it said could not refresh sources. so i restored my ipod and none of my music came back but all of the apps i had added to my homescreen were there. then i tired installing the jailbreak again on my ipod and now there are just all these white letter on my screen and its says this over and over again

BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

what do i do!!!??
i keep trying to restart it just everytime i hold down the home and power buttons, the apple logo comes back but then it just starts to jailbreak again and those same letters come back.

hello ppl…
i got a brand new 8 gb itouch and i adono wether dis jailbreakin is safe….will there be any adverse effects on the ipod if i do this….will it damage the ipod in anyway??
dloader girl, April 9, 2008:

@ PHER

You need the Summerboard themes fix. And if you haven’t already, the 1.1.3/4 compatibility patch form here.

http://repo.ispazio.net

You can add ipodtouchmasters repo (I forgot the address) or this one for the themes fix: http://iappcat.com/r/5778

Look for the Summerboard Themes fix file and download it.

Uninstall your smb, install the patch, reinstall summerboard, apply the fix, and uninstall the patch. restart. It should work. If it doesn’t then you will need to do some chmod-ing via Terminal
dloader girl, April 9, 2008:

@ isitsafe

There will always be risks to the jailbreaking, Adverse effects? No. Any problems arising from the jailbreak can be easily fixed with a restore.

Its pretty safe, but if you do get into some problems, its just a bit of a pain to restore
dloader girl, April 9, 2008:

@ Limitony and Brendan

Like I said to isitsafe, risks will always be there. But everything can be fixed with a restore. As far as I know iLiberty works with all versions of the iPod at the moment so your 32 gb should be fine.

And no, your iPod will not be completely ruined. Worst thing is just you losing all your songs and apps after you restore. If you have an iphone, then its a different matter. =)

@ natalie

Use Bosstools to move applications.
PHER, April 9, 2008:

hi everybody, i downloaded the SummerBoard 3.2 and then install some Themes (SummerBoard) and nothing happens when i look on the SMB prefs Theme tab (empty).

rAwks, April 9, 2008:

To PHER…

Your themes are probably being placed in the wrong place. So…on Installer there should be a summerboard fix. Add this source: http://ipodtouched.net/repo.xml
When your sources refresh, there’s a folder in the install tab named “ipod touched.” You’ll find one to fix this problem. Hope all goes well!
PHER, April 9, 2008:

link7373, April 9, 2008:

Hey, regarding the issue when you use ZiPhone and then you’re stuck with a bunch of white code on your iPod Touch and nothing is working. I had this issue and I tried over and over and over again to hard reset it…nothing worked. I didn’t have it plugged in when I was hard resetting it.

I plugged my iPod in and then did the hard reset and it finally got me to the screen saying that I need to plug it into iTunes.

Hope that helps some people.
dloader girl, April 10, 2008:

@ Taidgh:

you can use ‘iPod Access” thats what I use to back up all my songs before restoring. But you need to *ahem* get it so that you don’t have to pay for it

I’m sure there are other progs out there that you can use… Can’t think of any right now, just finished a law exam, too freakin’ zoned out at the moment, haha.
dloader girl, April 10, 2008:

@ dude and link7373

I suggest you read the comments on just do a simple google search for a fix… Its been said many times. And for the last time:

Put your iPod into recovery mode/DFU (whichever suits your liking) using iPhuc or ZiPhone or iLiberty+ and if you don’t know how to go into recovery/DFU… read previous posts/comments.

RE-jailbreak with iLiberty+ (or ZiPhone 2.6b = thats the one I heard that works best…I don’t know)

Its as simple as that…

dloader girl, April 10, 2008:

@ SMR

Make sure you’re connected to a wifi spot first of all.

Then clear all your queus.

And if that doesn’t work, uninstall everything that you’ve installed and only install ‘BossTools.’

Then click on ‘move applications’

Then retry Installer.
Charlie, April 11, 2008:

Hi all,

I just bought my ipod touch last week and i jailbreak it.. I was wondering where i can download applications for going online like msn?
Nick, April 11, 2008:

Hey everyone,
I just installed all of the software and such but I am not on the step of trying to get the new January apps. I went to the add source tab and typed in this (http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml) but every time it refreshes it just freezes. I have been doing this for a good hour now and it is driving me insane. Is there a specific amount of time it takes to refresh the sources or what? And do I really need to put that source in to get the software I want?
Thank you very much for your help

DMC, April 11, 2008:

BTW, I don’t get the connect screen, I just get the Apple logo.
david, April 11, 2008:

i try to get the BSD install but it keeps saying cannot find host . what do i do
Tledbett, April 11, 2008:

DMC,

That connect to Itunes screen comes after the logo.
1. Your ipod needs to be plugged into your computer when restoring.
2. You restore by holding down the power+ home buttons until you see the logo. Then you let up on the power button and continue to hold the home button until you see the connect to itunes button.
3. restore.

NOTE: I hope I got #2 correct as I am sitting at my keyboard late at night in the dark unable to sleep.
Tledbett, April 11, 2008:

Nick,

Is your keyboard sticking while you are typing? If so look at the main page for these forums and look for the solutions to the main issues. Most of these are addressed there.
Tledbett, April 11, 2008:

Charlie,

I don’t get you question. in installer add this source.

http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml

there are quite a few apps and stuff in that repo. If you have your wifi up and running then you should be able to get online with your ipod touch right away without extra software or apps.

BA88, April 11, 2008:

Hey just two short questions for you Ipod wizards!…

So I jailbroke my 8GB Ipod touch the first time using Ziphone 2.5 (for some silly reason I can’t download 3.0 from the Ziphone site, it simply refreshes without doing anything after clicking the download button..!!) and it all worked fine until I installed BossTool to relocate the fonts, then after that if i tried to type ANYTHING in calender..safari…whatever it would freeze and I would have to hard reset. So I restored the Ipod through Itunes, updated to 1.14, installed BossTools again but skipped the relocate fonts…and everything works fine. I need the extra space for applications though because 8GB is quite tight for lots of music and videos, so I really need to relocate the fonts again, I just don’t want to have to go back to square one again with a restore. Has anyone had the same problems with BossTool?

Also….above in step 4: ‘Get it running’…I skipped the part which says ‘Add the source’ because I really don’t understand what it means by that…could someone explain this to me?
Eddie, April 11, 2008:

To BA88…

I actually haven’t heard about the freezing on Safari and stuff, but I have heard about the keyboard freezing while adding sources in Installer. Well, if you read this post http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/ipod-touch/important-solutions/ it will hopefully do the same fix. It’s under “keyboard freeze.”

About adding sources, you do this on Installer. When you click on Installer on the bottom right is a tab named “Sources.” Click on that and on the top right you would click edit and then click add. When you do this a little pop up will come up telling you to add the source. So, when you add sources…you add more apps into your install tab. This will help you get more things on your Installer. Check out iappcat.com to find some good sources.

Hope I answered all your questions. Hope all goes well!

To Teo…

When your iPod gets that BSD root error, you have to do a hard reset. Read this post http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/ipod-touch/important-solutions/

Hope all goes well!
Steen, April 11, 2008:

Hi. I used Zipphone to jailbreak my Ipod Touch. It worked, but
then i went to install and tried to install BSD Subsystem. It got 3/4 through the get package and now its just stopped there ?!?
Can I restart ?
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To Steen…

Make sure you’re within Wifi because it’s slow when you’re not in a Wifi area. Just be patient and it should work. If it seems stuck, just hold the home button down and it should get you off of it. Hope all goes well!
Captain Crook, April 11, 2008:

add the source******???
what the heck does that mean? How do I “add the source”?
Everything before this went smooth up till this point.
Any help plz. Thank you.
Steen, April 11, 2008:

“The source” is a link. I guess you should add that link.
My ipod keeps freezing when downloading packages
Steen, April 11, 2008:

Thanx for the reply.
I am at home, and i have wifi. Can connect to google.
But it keeps stopping.
Now its stopped at Refreshing Sources….
Captain Crook, April 11, 2008:

thank you jedi!
Steen, April 11, 2008:

Maybe im wrong ? I have Wireless internet. In fact this laptop is connected wireless. I have added the Mac address of my Ipod and can connect to google.

Is that not WiFi ?
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To Captain Cook and Steen…

You would add repos into the the sources on Installer. These will add more apps onto your Installer. To add sources, read my comment #179.

To see if you’re connecting to Wifi, click on Settings. Your wireless name should show up next to Wifi. If it’s there…it means you’re connected. Hope all goes well!
dnbull, April 11, 2008:

I’m getting keyboard freezes and it’s frustating. For example, If i try to surf the web and type a website it will freeze

To dnbull…

Read my comment #179. Hope all goes well!
DMC, April 11, 2008:

I get an error when trying to install the BSD Subsystem.
DMC, April 11, 2008:

Forget it. I’m good.
dnbull, April 11, 2008:

To rAwks

thanks for the reply, when I try to add a contact it freezes when I click First, Last forcing to do a hard reset.
Brendan, April 11, 2008:

I just jailbroke it but when i tryed to plug it back into my computer it said my ipod could not be dected because of an error (0xE800000022) or something and i cant connect it to the computer so I cant restore it, please help!!!!!!!
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To dnbull…

UUuuuummm…that’s strange. Everyone that has had this problem solved it with this solution I put up. Try turning off and on your device and trying it again. If it still does the same thing, only thing I could say is to do a hard reset and try it again. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To Brendan…

Do a hard reset to fix this problem. Hope all goes well!
Steen, April 11, 2008:

Hi rAwks
Thanx for all Your help.

Nothing seems to work on my ipod. And its all down to the Wifi.
Its very VERY slow. I have a 10mbit internet and the wireless works on 3 computers in my house. The ipod connects, and it is online, but its sloooooooooooooooow.
I´ve been sitting for about an hour now looking at “refreshing sources”
I dont understand why its so slow. Its absolutely useless at this “speed”

Cant download anything, cause even 30 kb takes forever.
Can i transfer files some other way ? Or do you know a fix for the speed ?
Thank you
dnbull, April 11, 2008:

I think I have to do it at the beginning rAwks, I’m trying it again, I just use iliberty and used the keyboard method and no freeze, I’m not sure if it’s because of of iLiberty or it’s because I wasn’t on ziphone but either way I’ll let you know.
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To Steen…

Try this out…when you have a bad source (a source that doesn’t work) in your sources…it lags your refreshing sources. If it’s all your Wifi stuff, go on Settings and then click the reset button. Then click on Reset Network Settings…this should hopefully fix it! Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 11, 2008:

To dnbull…

Use either jailbreak and see which one works best for you! Hope all goes well!
Steen, April 11, 2008:

Hate being so much trouble….
I already tried that, and it made no difference. Still slow. Still freezes all over the place.Now its frozen on the “Please donate” screen in install.
I have to hard start it everytime and it takes forever
I just bought it today, and im afraid today will be the last day i ever use it…

I got totalcommander and the t-pot plugin to work. Got access to something in the ipod, but dont know where to put my media files

Anyway… Here goes another re-start.
I’m afraid of doing anything when its on, cause i know it will freeze sooner rather than later, and i’ll have to restart again.
Not an ipod fan
Captain Crook, April 11, 2008:

I have an Ipod Touch 16 GB, 1.1.4,Jail break using Ziphone 3.0

go to installer, uninstall everything
install bosstools
relocate applications
restart.
Doesn’t work?

READ PROPERLY BEFORE YOU COMMENT!

No seriously. Read. Has been discussed before. Or rejailbreak.
dloader girl, April 12, 2008:

@ Steen

If your keyboard still freezes:

GEt your ipod into restore/DFU mode. REJAILBREAK using iLiberty.

THEN once the iPod gets to the springboard DO NOT GO INTO INSTALLER!

Go to safari/contacts/whatever that brings the keyboard up

Type anything for 10-30 secs

cancel and close out

Go into installer. Should be fine.
dloader girl, April 12, 2008:

@ Lau

use iLiberty.
Dre', April 12, 2008:

Hey I tried to install this and it screwed up my touch ipod. HELP! It won’t reboot correctly now or connect to itunes please tell me you know how to fix1
Arab, April 13, 2008:

I ran the jailbreak and the connect to itunes came up itunes says can not connect because unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).
Tledbett, April 13, 2008:

Dre’:

hard restore. the instructions have been repeated a zillion times. Plug your ipod in. Press and hold the home AND power button. When you see the Apple Logo leg go of the power button but keep holding the home button. After 15-30 seconds you will see a Connect to Itunes message. From there just click the restore button in Itunes.
Tledbett, April 13, 2008:

One more things folks. I found that after I jailbroke my Ipod, Itunes would give me an error if my Ipod was asleep or locked when I plugged it in. To rectify this I make sure that when I initially plug my ipod in it is awake AND unlocked. Always works like a charm. If I forget and get an error from Itunes, I simply unplug, unlock, and then plug back in without issue.

I hope this helps some of you.
Peyoush Touch, April 13, 2008:

To those who are having problem with line and the each line being produced untill the end of time!

Simply bring the ipod back into recovery mode. I was reading this in the Ziphone 3.0 Help section. You have to hold the power and home button untill the screen goes black.All you have to do is take your finger off the power button and leave one finger pressing the home button. The ipod will be in recovery mode, you should now beable to restore it in itunes. I had itunes open while i was doing this.

I panicked aswell and thought i broke my ipod! But this really works! i was just dumb enough to press the first button! which is for the iphone! You should have pressed the Jailbreak option (second button).

Good luck!

With Ziphone 3.0, it installs BSD Subsystem already. Try clearing out your queue and reinstalling Installer. Hope all goes well!

how to hard reset, April 15, 2008:

i tried to jailbreak my 16gb ipod and it fked up… i tried to jailbreak it, but as many people tried, it didnt work… why? because it wasnt plugged in…. so this is what i did….
opened up itunes… connected my ipod…. held the home and the power button together until the ‘connect to itunes’ logo appeared…

it was only then, did itunes recognise my ipod and allowed me to restore it back….

hope this helps people… as it wasnt clarified that the ipod must be plugged into the pc to work…

I recently jailbroke my 8gb ipod touch. Everything works fine since I’ve done it the second time except now I cannot type anything in Safari. Like, I can bring up websites and stuff but I can’t click anything on the page…

Any suggestions?

As far as I know Safari is the only app giving me problems.
serozik, April 15, 2008:

what name is on one app who make several page/side at home
serozik, April 15, 2008:

what name is on one app who make several page/side at home
so I can reorder home screen icons
rAwks, April 15, 2008:

To serozik…

The reason you want to get the 1.1.4 iphone applications is so you can have the wiggle feature. The wiggle feature allows you to move your icons on your home screen around.
rAwks, April 15, 2008:

To serozik…

If you don’t have that app anywhere, try refreshing your sources and install all sources in the source folder. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 15, 2008:

To S…

I’m confused…are you having trouble typing things or can you not click on anything? Well, try doing the keyboard freeze solution under the post “Important Solutions.” If that doesn’t work, just restoring it and doing it again. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 15, 2008:

To Playmaster…

Well, you need the iPod on to install things from Installer. If you’re transferring things from the computer to iPod using SSH, I don’t think you need it totally on. It can be on sleep mode.
alvim, April 15, 2008:

Hey guys.. I have a big problem..
I did everything correctly, but after I finished to jailbroke my iPod, i couldn’t connect to the WiFi anymore.. does anybody knows why? plase, answer me
alvim, April 15, 2008:

I can connect to the Wifi, but Safari and the Installer don’t work using the internet.. like i wasn’t connected o.O
rAwks, April 15, 2008:

To alvim…

Not sure what the problem is, but try this. Alright, bare with me cause my settings looks different than the stock one, so I’m just guessing where things are. So…go onto Settings and find the button that says Reset. Click on it and then click on Reset Network Settings. Hopefully that will do something.
Nate Strom, April 16, 2008:

Cool……

I’ll try it…..Thanks.
Tim, April 16, 2008:

Hi Guys,
sorry if this is really obvious. I have read all the comments and guides but am missing one peice of instruction….

I have a 16gb ipod touch. it has v1.1.2. I am going to use Ziphone3.0 to jailbreak it.
Do i have to have v1.1.4 running on the ipod in order to jailbreak it or can i just use Ziphone3.0 directly on V1.1.2?
If i need to update it to v1.1.4 first, how do i do that without dishing out $$? do i ‘restore’ to a higher firmware or something?
Thanks
The Lone Stag, April 16, 2008:

To Tim:

I am pretty sure ZiPhone will work with any version. Try it. If it doesn’t, then restore to 1.1.4 (it doesn’t cost anything).
Tim, April 16, 2008:

ok thanks lone stag. i will try it out. (i thought the update to the ipod touch costed £12. but cool)

where can i get the 1.1.4 itouch firmware file from?

so when people say ‘restore’ to the original firmware does that mean there is no such thing as an original firmware since it would no longer be 1.1.2, or does it mean ive got a 1.1.2 which has all the functions of 1.1.4 but is still 1.1.2?

thanks, no more questions from me now lol.
rAwks, April 16, 2008:

To Tim…

When you connect your iPod to iTunes and you click “restore,” it’ll restore your iPod to factory settings, but also keeping it current…which is firmware 1.1.4. Since you have 1.1.2 and when you click restore…after the restore your iPod will be 1.1.4. You can get all the versions online, which will be in an. ipsw format. For example, I have on my computer the .ipsw for firmware 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. If I wanted to, I can go restore it back to those versions…but I like version 1.1.4. Hope all goes well!
Fresh.., April 17, 2008:

I just downloaded jailbreak off of ziphone for my 32gb ipod with the 1.1.4 update on it and it works like a charm. I didnt erase my ipod before i did it either. I have not yet had a problem. I Found it a little skechy downloading but end the end …perfect. All i did was plug my ipod in to itunes, then downloaded jailbreak. Started up jailbreak and clicked begin for ipod touch. Ipod did some weird stuff and looked like it went into msdos mode. Also when this started it said my ipod went into recoverymode i just didnt touch anything. It finish and my ipod turned off then back on and then itunes reconized it and bam better than new.

rAwks, April 17, 2008:

To Jim…

Only thing I can think of is to restore it and jailbreak it again. If this happens again using Ziphone (assuming you used Ziphone)…try using iLiberty. Hope all goes well!
punk, April 17, 2008:

to Fresh. . .

How did you do that, i also have my 32GB ipod touch and i want it to jailbreak. . .
Please send me how step by step. . . . thank a lot. . . .=)
Prelenque, April 17, 2008:

Hey ya’ll- this seems like an insanely well updated- frequently visited site by you fellows above..

Ok basically I’m getting the impression that iLibirty is better- I want to unlock/jailbreak my iPod touch 16 gigs 1.1.4 without january software upgrade. I really want to do this because it sounds pretty sweet …

So I just want advice which is more reliable- iLibirty or Ziphone- I have Ziphone downloaded and I can follow the above instructions but I’d prefer to do it only once and have it work haha.. Also are some of the apps ‘faulty’ or can I get almost all the apps in the store without having problems? Lol basically do people have ‘viruses’ in the apps?

And also- if I go with iLibirty I’m at their download site- http://ipluspwns.com/?q=node/2 and I can’t seem to figure out which one? Should I get iLibirty 1.3 for Windows (I have Vista)? It was released this month.

Anyway thanks for any help you can give
Grant, April 17, 2008:

Awesome – why didn’t I do this before now!!! Thanks Zibri
serozik, April 17, 2008:

how can I update installer
Fresh.., April 18, 2008:

For me it was really easy. I downloaded jailbreak from ziphone. Pluged my ipod into itunes. Click jailbreak , then pressed download under itouch/iphone. Then it did its magic. It was really sketchy, first my itunes said my ipod went in to recovery mode but i didnt press anything. Ipod went crazy for a bit doing its thing. When it was done my ipod turned off then back on. Itunes reconized it and that was it. I unpluged it and i was on my way. Very easy!
Charlie, April 18, 2008:

hey guys I have the January upgrade from apple that I stupidly bought. I was wondering if I will lose it when I jailbreak? Please help asap I want to jailbreak really bad. Also have you guys ever tried iliberty+ for jailbreaking yet?
Prelenque, April 18, 2008:

To Charlie-
I know enough about jailbreaking to know that you won’t loose your upgrade- just follow the above instructions and it should work fine (I haven’t done it yet) (I’d still like advice that I asked for earlier (: )… Umm when you restore it should go back tot he software upgrade- if it doesn’t complain to Apple they have your serial number, your account, and they’ll see you bought it and get you a new one- but the fact of the matter is it will ‘remember’ that you have the upgrade. Just back up your iPod then do the restore then jailbreak then voila update from the backup and it should work fine.. (I think)..

I’m still skeptical about the whole jailbreak thing… Haha
Prelenque, April 18, 2008:

Hey does ZiPhone work on 16 gig models?!! I have a source that says it doesn’t and only on 8 gig.. And I have a source that says that there aren’t many apps for 1.1.4 and I should downgrade to 1.1.2 and then get the apps there.. But I’d prefer to keep it simple..
Grant, April 18, 2008:

To Charlie and Prelenque,
You won’t lose your upgrade apps you paid for. I also paid for them (begrudgingly) and after using ZiPhone they were still there working happily. Like many others I was also skeptical of jailbreaking – was this just another hack/mod that didn’t really add any value to my iPod Touch? Would it screw it up, etc, etc? Jailbreaked it last night and spent most of the rest of the night exploring everything it had to offer. Decent games that don’t need a wi-fi connection to play, apps that are worth using, e-book readers, etc.
My advice is try it, see what you think, if you don’t like it you can always restore it back to native Apple. As for me, I’m keeping it.
Thanks to the community for their awesome work.
Prelenque, April 18, 2008:

To grant-
Yes I have to admit- I am very scared …. I have heard that peoples iPods can be like broken in the sense that iTunes doesn’t read them- they don’t charge or anything. So like then I’m screwed. Esspecially living overseas where I couldn’t get it reparied even if I wanted too… Umm yeah so I’m like uber worried about doing it.

I don’t know I hear it’s so seldom it happens though
Charlie, April 18, 2008:

thank you guys so I won’t lose my upgrade that’s good. When you say back it up what so you mean? How would I do that? Then after I jailbreak then what?
Prelenque, April 18, 2008:

Well like when you click restore within iTunes it gives an option to back it up.. I’m not an expert though so follow others advice
rAwks, April 18, 2008:

To punk…

If you want to do what Fresh did…just jailbreak it. You can jailbreak any iPod Touch (8GB, 16 GB, 32GB). Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 18, 2008:

To Prelenque…

Read my post about which jailbreak to use. Everyone has their own opinion on the jailbreaks…either way…you have to put time into it because you might have to restore and do it all over again. It’s all part of hacking. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 18, 2008:

To serozik…

Go into Installer and if it’s not in the update tab…it means you have the latest Installer. If you mean you want to refresh the sources, then go on the source tab and click refresh. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 18, 2008:

To Prelenque or ANYONE..

If you have any questions cause I know you’re worried about jailbreaking…you can email me at rawks_in_ur_socks@yahoo.com. Hope all goes well!
charlie, April 18, 2008:

Ok so just follow instructions above restore my ipod to factory settings, after I jailbreak my ipod how do I put what I had back on it, like music, videos, contacts, notes etc?
Prelenque, April 18, 2008:

Just press sync in iTunes and it’ll sync everything you have on your computer too your iPod
charlie, April 18, 2008:

Even if I didn’t sync to put music on, I just dragged and dropped music videos etc. the contacts and stuff I put in manually on the ipod. So i just press sync and it will load everything that I had on it before back on?
charlie, April 18, 2008:

By the way thanks Prelenque for all the help. Along with everyone else. I am liking the feedback. I just have an extended warranty with future shop so I don’t want to void that and also I don’t want to lose my calender and contacts from there… very important..
Tomas, April 18, 2008:

I just wanted to ask, if I bought the January applications. and I jailbreak my Ipod touch, if I want to restore it back will I still have the applications one I restore it to the original state, not jailbroken?
charlie, April 18, 2008:

To Tomas:

Yes you will still have the applications when you restore your ipod, I had to restore mine and i only lost my music. The applications are still there as long as you paid for it and didn’t download from installer. Just restore in itunes and it will put those applications back on.
serozik, April 18, 2008:

Hey does anyone know if I restore my itouch will I lose all of my dates set in after I jailbreak then syns using itunes? I have the dates put in by hand on my itouch and don’t want to have to enter them in again?

any help would be awesome!
charlie, April 19, 2008:

To: serozik

try checking your wi-fi connection… maybe. only thing I can think of
charlie, April 19, 2008:

Hey guys, I am going to jailbreak tomorrow I think. So follow instructions and nothing will be lost like applications etc? Also If I want the information back onto my ipod from my pc I just sync and everything should go accordingly??
Prelenque, April 19, 2008:

To zza24
My suggestion would be- back up your iPod- then it should SHOULD have all the contacts, photos what not backed up- that is if you still have it on your computer- basically what it does is registers what the settings were and such and then if you restore it then it goes back to whenever you backed up.

To back up- press restore- then it SHOULD give an option to ‘back up’ accept that option then save the backup and when it restores it gives an option to use your previous back-up to go back to that stage with all your contacts etc.

Hope that helps
Prelenque, April 19, 2008:

To Charlie
Well in theory- just do Ziphone or whatever you use- then let it do it’s thing.

This isn’t first hand expierience here- I’ve just been reading a ton about jailbreaking etc. Just make sure you DON’T touch anything while it does it’s thing- that will probably cause it to have problems so just follow the instructions above to the letter.

Also theres lots of posts above about the same thing your wondering- so just look at them a bit

Hope that helps

Are you on a wifi connection? Because to ‘download’ an app you need internet- what you installed with Ziphone or whatever only has the database not the actual files- so make sure your on a wifi connection..

Or you could try jailbreaking using iLibirty or another program.
rwheatly, April 19, 2008:

Once you get Ziphone on your ipod touch do you have to be connected by wifi to get BSD Subsystem to install cause it tells me package download failed can’t find host. Some one help me I have tried reinstalling it over and over. So please help me. Thanks
Prelenque, April 19, 2008:

Hey Everyone!

I did a Ziphone Jailbreak today! Heck yes! I finally mustered the courage- I’m so glad I did it it’s so worth it . Not to mention just getting Januarys upgrade free!!!

Ziphone was so painless but I have to admit my hands were SHAKING! Wow… Scary but it was smoothe.

I was looking in Apps and I can’t find out how to get a background set up? I downloaded a background app from the featured section- and well it won’t uninstall well it does uninstall but the application button doesn’t dissapear? lol. Weird. I can live with it though..

Anyway thanks for the advice on this site.

I did the Boss thing but whats the point in that?
Prelenque, April 19, 2008:

I actually figured out how to do backgrounds with Summerboard
Charlie, April 19, 2008:

any news on using iliberty for windows anybody? If it worked for people or not. I’m just scared to use ziphone…
serozik, April 19, 2008:

To Prelenque

thanks for your answer.

Yes I have connect to Wi-Fi and internet is working. I can go to youtube or somewhere else but I still can´t download…
Prelenque, April 19, 2008:

Hey Serozik!
I think I figured out your problem- I have the same one and I figured out what to do

What the problem is is that you have multiple downloads in your que and some reason it’s not wanting to download. So click clear all downloads- and then try a download- it should work now. I was having the same problem and I’m like this is lame but I clicked clear que or whatever it says and then it worked after that.

Good luck
serozik, April 19, 2008:

thank you prelenque but I have allready tried that and it still doesn´t work

I have a 16 gig iphone jailbroke and need to restore to 1.1.4, any help.
jake, April 20, 2008:

tryed a manual restore it conected to itunes but got an erorr 5
charlie, April 20, 2008:

Jake, i have a 16gig ipod touch. What did you use to jailbreak your iphone? Ziphone? As long as it is not unlocked and activated using that software and just jailbroken. Download iliberty and there is an option in there under one of the tabs at the top, the 3rd one i believe that has a bounch of options to force your iphone/itouch into recovery mode, DFU mode etc. Try forcing it into recovery mode and plugging into itunes. Or trying holding down the home and sleep buttons until the iphone turns black. then release the sleep button while still holding the home button and plug it into your computer with itunes open and it should detect it in recovery mode… let me know if any of them help. then just hit restore in itunes and it should work I think! goodluck
charlie, April 20, 2008:

nvm with summerboard, just needed to restart itouch.
jake, April 20, 2008:

thinks charlie i tryed it but now i get erorr 1604 and i’m stuck i recovery mode. need help!!!!

ok i got my 16 gig iphone 1.1.4 working, but its still jailbroke. anyone know a way to restore to factory.

Just go into iTunes and press restore- that should work.. If not then it’s out of my hands lol

after installing Ziphone, whenever i connect my itouch, 0xE8000022 this error msg would appear on itunes.
the pc and itunes just doesnt seems to recognise itouch connected anymore.
and itouch just shown a picture asking to connect to itunes.
any idea?
by any chance. any expects around, location:Singapore?
itouch is back at the service center at epi-center.
they prolly would exchange a new set for me.
so need some help in jailbreaking in.

ok,
well i think i may have mixed up some of the steps, now, it wont let me access itunes. it has an error(800022)? is there anyway possible that i can access itunes again?
Katherine, April 20, 2008:

Thanks for the post! It was extremely helpful.
Prelenque, April 20, 2008:

Umm Ryan- I know there is a way I just don’t know- check Youtube videos on ‘unbricking’ an iPod- also search it on Google or Yahoo! Answers. You should be able to find out how..

Hard Reset- stuff like that should fix it- rAwks assured me that it’s practically impossible to completely ‘brick’ your iPod- thats what gave me the courage to do it- I got lucky in not having any problems…
Prelenque, April 20, 2008:

Hey rAwks and all other iPod touch Hacks people- I’ve been thinking- is there any good iPod touch jailbroken / jailbreaking forums? I’d probably be part of it… I dunno is that possible to set up? Or is there such a thing and I just don’t know it?
Brian, April 20, 2008:

I just bought a Touch that is running jailbreak version 1.1.3 – the mail and maps apps still aren’t working..two questions – is it worth reverting to apple 1.1.4 and then running the Ziphone jailbreak – and if I do will I lose all the other apps I have installed…and if I do can i re-install them after I do the Ziphone procedure.
Thanks for helping a newbie
PHER, April 20, 2008:

what about the BossPrefs? its a good services or something? could somebody tells me about this app?
rAwks, April 20, 2008:

To ANYBODY GETTING THE 0xE8000022 ERROR…

I don’t know why this happens, but I got this also. I just restored it and jailbreaked again. If it still does the same thing, use a different jailbreak like iLiberty or PWNAGE tool.
rAwks, April 20, 2008:

To Prelenque…

Do you mean to write for them or something like that? Get a hold of the owner of the website and keep up with what’s going on with iPod jailbreaking.
rAwks, April 20, 2008:

To Brian…

If you’re using 1.1.3 and everything is working well…I might as well stay on it. If things go wrong on your device, then update to 1.1.4 and then jailbreak using any of the jailbreaks. If you do update and jailbreak, you would have to install all the apps again. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 20, 2008:

To PHER…

I don’t use BossPrefs, but I think it’s just an app that gives you more handle on things. It gives you more preferences. I use extended preferences and it’s cool. Hope all goes well!

Fresh.., April 21, 2008:

What i found out about that crazy error code from itunes was it is all about the version of itunes you have. I tried to take some songs from my friends computer and i got that error for the first time. All they did was upgrade to the new itunes and it worked like a charm.
punk, April 21, 2008:

To rAwks and fresh..

Thanks dude. . . i already jailbroke my 32 GB itouch. . . same as fresh did. . . . he he he . . . . cool dude. . . .
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

i jailbroke using the 1.1.4 fw. i was able to install apps from the installer but then after awhile it stopped allowing me to. i have a great wi-fi connection. i just restored the ipod back to factory state and rejailbroke and it still wont let me install anything. please help
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

sorry to keep posting. now i can install some apps but ishare and mobilefinder wont work
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Wolf…

Which packages are you trying to get? What exactly is happening? I need detailed info to help you out. Like for example, does an error come up…just let me know. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To PHER…

Is her iPod jailbroken already? When I jailbroke my iPod on version 1.1.3…I had a problem with my music not playing. Let me know exactly what’s the deal. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Dan T…

How does mobilefinder and ishare NOT work? Is there an error? Does it not download? Let me know! Hope all goes well!
Ted, April 21, 2008:

To Jeff,

I had this problem also and was able to fix it in the end.
I restored an older firmware version: 1.1.1. To enter recovery mode, either run ziphone -D or hold the power and home button for a long while (even when the screen goes black) until you see the recovery screen (or connect to itunes screen). After the restore, just start up your ipod. Then, enter recovery mode again and restart the procedure but this time select firmware version 1.1.4.
After version 1.1.4 is installed run ziphone and jailbreak. It worked for me.

Hope this helps.
Ted, April 21, 2008:

Also… It seems the error “Singleuser boot — fsck not done” resulted from an unsuccessful ziphone install because the root fs was mounted read only. While the ziphone installation script runs you can actually see loads of ” unable to create directory ” and ” directory not found ” messages. One of the first things the ziphone installation script does is to check the fs. But I wonder if it checks for it to be mounted read-only. Anyways, the procedure mentioned under post 324 worked and did not produce any errors during the installation script.
pramu, April 21, 2008:

I did all what you said upto step3.
step4 i have problems when trying to install jan applicaitons. my ipod touch has become too slow and when i try to add the source link you mentioned, it hangs.
i had to hard reset to start it again…
shall i repeat all the process again??????
Prelenque, April 21, 2008:

rAwks-
No I don’t particularly want to write for the iPod touch hackers- I’m not dedicated enough of knowledgable enough- I purely was wondering if there are any well organized forums out there that anyone can join and participate in discussions on Apps, hacking styles, and other such stuff pertaining to the iPod touch / iPhone- and since people here seem pretty friendly I was thinking that pr’aps this website could make a forum?

I don’t know it was just a thought- .; Because this thread about hacking it has turned into a question answer type thing that could be better done in forums. …

Just a though.
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

to rAwks-
I’ve gotten mobilefinder to work. but whenever i try to install ishare an error message appears that says package download failed! When I try to install it the install button is red im not sure if thats a problem or not
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To pramu…

Make sure you’re doing this with a pretty good Wifi signal. If you’re not, it lags and takes a while to install. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Prelenque…

One forum I check out is http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/index.php. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Dan T…

Make sure there is nothing on your queue. I usually do that and then turn off and on my device. Then go back and install it. It usually works for me. Hope all goes well!
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

to rAwks-
i tried what you said and i still wont allow me to install it. is there i way i can install it without downloading it from the installer?
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Dan T…

Try this…add this source http://iphone.koolz.net/index.xml and go into install tab. Find the folder it created (not sure what it’s called…maybe iPhoneKoolz). In that folder should be another iShare app. Try installing this one…it might work. I found this on iappcat.com. Hope all goes well!
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

the ipod wont even accept that as a source. im not sure whats wrong but ill do some searching into it to see if i can find a solution so i dont keep bugging you guys . thanks for all the help rAwks

rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Dan T..

Maybe the source just doesn’t work…I didn’t try it. Go on iappcat.com and find another iShare app. Don’t worry about constant questions…that is what I’m here for! Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Wolf…

Maybe that source is not working right now. If you’re trying to get just the emulator, it should be in your Games folder on Installer. If you’re trying to get a NES ROM package, use my souce iappcat.com/r/6675. I also have the NES emulator on here too. Hope all goes well!
Dan T, April 21, 2008:

to rAwks-
im not sure if im doing the iappcat thing right. when i go to the list section on the site the app i want is in there and then i add my source but the app or category doesnt show up in the installer
rAwks, April 21, 2008:

To Dan T…

On the first box you can enter text…type in whatever app you want (Ex.=iShare). Then it’ll give you 3 choices for the ishare. I gave you the first one, so I’m going to give you the 2nd choice. Click on the 2nd one if you were to do this on your own. Then click repository. Then it’ll give you the repo to add to the source. The 2nd choice is the one that should be on your iPod already cause I think community sources includes Conceited Software source. That’s how you use iappcat.com. There’s also a video somewhere on iappcat.com that will show you how to use that site. Hope all goes well!

This is already easy! The jailbreaks before sometimes took about half an hour! Just follow all the steps and you should be all good. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 22, 2008:

To jailme…

Some games don’t have sound…actually to be honest…I don’t even play the games with headphones. I know if you put ROMs onto the emulators, some games have sound. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 22, 2008:

To pramu…

I’m glad things worked out for you. Unfortunately…you won’t be able to install a flash player onto your device. It’s not supported! Sucks! Well, you already have a youtube app, so that would just open up if you wanted to watch the videos. You can even download the youtube vids using MxTube. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 22, 2008:

You have to follow the post that Lone Stag wrote about SSH and then follow the post I wrote about emulators and ROMs. Hope all goes well!

hello I just hacked my iPod and was wonderring if it will still be hacked if I update my iPod to newer softwares/fimwires
rAwks, April 23, 2008:

To Steven…

Read my post about Emulators and ROMs. I have a source to install ROMs into your emulator (I think the NES ones ONLY work). I also include a few sites on where to download ROMs onto your comp to SSH them into your device. When people mention SSH, it means to use your computer to get access into your device. You can change permissions and transfer things around. Read Lone Stag’s post on SSH. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 23, 2008:

To mikehurri…

No it will not. If you update to a new firmware, you would have to jailbreak again. There are only jailbreaks out for the firmware that are out now, but the newer firmwares always get hacked. You just have to wait for it! Hope all goes well!

newtouchowner, April 23, 2008:

rawks said the touch doesnt support flash which i agree sucks but something little but is sort of necessary that the touch also doesnt have is copy and paste by which i mean when u r on safari and u see a cool pic u cant copy and paste to ur photos. i think they should have it…am i the only one who thinks this? i mean the psp can so why cant out ipod touch?
Prelenque, April 23, 2008:

Newtouchowner-
theres a grab image app in the installer- I forgot the exact name and I don’t use it but it grabs images out of Safari and plops em into My Pictures I don’t know if you can then retrieve the images onto your computer though… Look around for image grabber or something along those lines.. Check iAppCat as well…

Hope that helps
rAwks, April 23, 2008:

To Jas…

There are sources that put into Installer to add more applications into your installer. You can add sources by clicking on sources and then click edit…then add. You then add the repo you have. You can find out these repos through iappcat.com or google “sources for ipod touch”. Hope all goes well!

Uuuummm…that’s weird! Before in 1.1.1, I use to install things and it wouldn’t let me. It would do what’s going on with you…it would just crash installer and bring me back to the home screen. Also, once I installed an app and it didn’t finish it… then it was on my home screen. Even though it was on my home screen, it wasn’t even in my Uninstall tab, so I can uninstall it. It was weird! I think the reason this happened was because I didn’t have any more room for apps. I never knew about Bosstools to add more space to your device. Ever since I installed Bosstools for the later firmwares, I’ve NEVER had this problem again. Did you install Bosstools? Hope all goes well!

Are you saying the source doesn’t work or your keyboard freezes? If the contact trick doesn’t work…you might have to jailbreak again. If you used Ziphone and this doesn’t work…try using iLiberty. Hope all goes well!

rAwks, April 28, 2008:

To Lan…

You have to do a hard reset. Read the post Important Solutions. Make sure to have your device plugged in while doing the hard reset. If you need more help, let me know. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, April 28, 2008:

To Quenta…

If you get an error package, make sure you have nothing in your queue. Also, make sure to install Bosstools and move fonts to add more space. Hope all goes well!

Jaime, April 30, 2008:

Connor, April 30, 2008:

What about 1.1.5 ? how will you jail break this?
rAwks, April 30, 2008:

To Connor…

1.1.5 isn’t out yet…I’m just guessing, but I don’t think there will be a 1.1.5. It might just already go to 2.0, since it’s suppose to be out July. You never know…I might be wrong and they might have a couple firmwares before the new 2.0. Everyone finds a way to hack the latest firmware…I heard people already jailbreaked 2.0, but there’s no apps compatible with it yet.
Help me, April 30, 2008:

I used the iLiberty jailbreak and put on “bypass the iTunes activation process” and now iTunes doesn’t recognize my ipod at all, it says “iTunes could not connect to the iPod because an unknown error occured”, and you need iTunes to work your iPod, i’ve tried the hard reset 3 times and it keeps saying the same thing. Seriously, HELP!
rAwks, April 30, 2008:

To Help me…

Make sure to do the hard reset with your iPod plugged in. Try using a different jailbreak like Ziphone. Hope all goes well!
Connor, April 30, 2008:

Alright, thank you i jail broke mine. everything was great on the tutorial except the part in step 4. – Add the Source. i skipped this because i didn’t understand? is that going to be a problem?
Connor, April 30, 2008:

ohh and, what are some good easy to play/use games on installer app?
Beena, April 30, 2008:

Seems like http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml is down
rAwks, April 30, 2008:

To Connor…

Adding sources just allows you to add more games and apps into installer. If you don’t add sources, it won’t kill ya…but you won’t be able to get some games and apps through other repos. There are a lot of good games out there…just go into the games folder. Hope all goes well!

PHER, May 1, 2008:

PS: I have a SNES roms source thats works sometimes (i just download the snes games yesterday) its from: http://s.apflephone.net
you have to try everyday until its works!
PHER, May 1, 2008:

everyday everytime!
rAwks, May 1, 2008:

To Jaime…

Is Installer on another page?!? Sometimes they put things on a different page, so try swiping. I don’t know it would do that, but I would just restore it and jailbreak again. Hope all goes well!
rAwks, May 1, 2008:

To PHER…

Unfortunately the Millionaire game is gone. The people that created the game was asked to remove it. Try looking through iappcat to see if there is any Millionaire app floating around, but I doubt it. Sorry.
stathis, May 1, 2008:

Hi to everyone, i just recently jailbreak my ipod 1.1.4 with 32gigabytes. If i update the version from 1.1.4 to a new for example like 1.1.5, will the ipod malfuction? please give me some advice on things that should not do.
rAwks, May 1, 2008:

To Eliona…

When a new firmware comes out and you update, you will lose your jailbreak. Only update when there has been confirmation that that version is able to be hacked. Hope all goes well!
Master, May 1, 2008:

Eliona, May 2, 2008:

helo, is me again ^^ i wondering how to install the jiggy runtime into the ipod touch 1.1.4? When i try to install it from the development categories, the device ask me to install the jiggy runtime first. please give advice.
rAwks, May 2, 2008:

To Eliona…

Make sure you have nothing in your queue on Installer. Also, turn off and on your device and try again. This should do the fix. Hope all goes well!
Eliona, May 2, 2008:

Hi, the jiggy stuff worked like charm, i got a bit problem using a dictionary…. i’ve installed the device but it didn’t show an icon or any way to be used. Please give some advice ^^. thanks for the last aids.
rAwks, May 2, 2008:

To Eliona…

You have to install an app called weDict. This is the program that allows you to see the dictionary stuff. Hope all goes well!

Hi all,
A question from if anybody have experienced this error code:
BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0.

I follow the suggestion from the previous postings by holding the power and the home key to stop the error from posting BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0 over and over.

Now I am stuck with the recovery mode and I wasn’t planning to do a restore since it will wipe out my contents. Any suggestions of how to exit the recovery mode?
thanks for the help!
Scottbee, May 7, 2008:

Hey everyone,

I’m using the current version of ZiPod posted on this site, i’ve followed all instructions up to the “With your plugged in iPod and ZiPhone running, click Jailbreak (the second action)”. Now my iPod Touch (8GB) screen is completly black with a white bar on left hand corner of the top…its been more than 1.5 minutes…i’ve restarted the hole thing a couple of times and same problem…whats up?

For those of you who MAY get the same problem as me, just keep trying. Don’t forget to reset your ipod after a failure.

charlie, May 8, 2008:

To need help:

Try booting your ipod into recovery mode. First you shut down your ipod touch by holding down both buttons until the screen completly shuts off. Then hold the home key and plug your ipod into your computer while itunes is NOT running and it will open and say blah blah blah ipod in recovery mode…I think you can do the rest, there are websites that you can google on how to do this.

im having a problem with mine and need some help, everytime i try to add a source so that i can download the iPod 1.1.4 apps it adds the source and then says ‘refreshing sources’ and gets to the end but just never ends and the only way to cancel it is to reset, then when i go to look at the sources the website i added is there but it comes up as ‘uncategorized’ and i cant edit it or download any sources from it. How long do i have to wait for it to refresh the sources? and is it because im not using a proper wifi connection, im connection sharing with my MacBook?

any suggestions would be great!
barabus, May 8, 2008:

I also seem to be having a problem that everytime i update installer once ive updated it when i go to open it it just crashes and i have to reset my iPod.

I dont know why im having so many issues, any advice would be great

I tried restarting the ipod i have enough memory.. i followed all the steps up there… can you help me? i try using other wi-fi sources but they don’t work either.

age, May 9, 2008:

do u hav to restore ur ipod if u already have 1.1.4?
rAwks, May 9, 2008:

To EVERYBODY…

I didn’t want to write to each one individual, since the last time I commented…it’s been a while. So…I would’ve probably left the last 20 comments or so. Well, most of everyone’s problems solution is just to HARD RESET, RESTORE, AND JAILBREAK AGAIN! With the keyboard freeze, if it’s acting up…do it again. Before you get into Installer the next time, go on contacts and do the keyboard fix solution we posted up before. Make sure to be within Wifi to use Installer or else it won’t work or it’ll be slow. Also, if you get an error when you install something…it’s either you have something in your queue or that source isn’t working quite well…wait a little bit. Uuuuummm…if you’re on 1.1.4 already, you do not have to restore it before you jailbreak…just jailbreak it. If your device is slow or it doesn’t play music…do the hard reset, restore, and jailbreak again. If you don’t like the jailbreak you used…just say you used Ziphone…then try out iLiberty. Jailbreaking will take lots of times and many pros and cons…it’s your choice to do it. Hope all goes well!
PHER, May 9, 2008:

to jkjkjk:
every iPod have an 300mb storage of programs. it seems ike you used all taht so you cant install nothing anymore. so…RESTORE and jailbreak it again, and then install (cause you already can`t) the BossTool and you gonna have the free disk space option.
thats what i do when its happened to me.

Every time I tried to put in the source that was provided above, it kept on freezing when I tried to type it in… I tried at least 10 times and it never worked… What do I do?
Ryan M., May 12, 2008:

When installing ZiPhone 3.0, the sources no longer function, and it cannot download any of the packages. However, there is a Installer 3.1 update that will download, but as soon as you download it, the iPod Touch freezes constantly and performs terribly. Going into the Wifi settings will cause it to freeze, and going into the Installer will cause it to freeze. I didn’t want to find out what else would make it freeze, so I reverted back until there is an Installer update again.

Go to the summary tab in ipod preferences and click restore to restore ipod to factory setting.”

any ideas on how to fix this?

David, May 19, 2008:

I have a question. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to sync music with Itunes and with Amarok (or gtkpod) in linux. I can jailbreak using ziphone, or any others that are out and have the bsd subsystem and openssh for wireless sync with linux. I even done the firewireguid deal. I can get music to apear and play on my jailbroken touch 1.1.4 from linux, but when I then try to sync it also with itunes, itunes says it can’t read it and it need to restore the device. is there something i’m leaving out, or is it just not possible to do both? (ps. I am also running the svn of libgpod and gtkpod. I heard you had to run svn of them)

Thanks,
David.
Dori, May 19, 2008:

Ying, May 19, 2008:

Hey!

I just jailbroke my ipod last night and so far everything works fine (until the problem I’m about to mention anyway). THANKS GUYS!!! But I don’t think this has been brought up in the comments yet so I’m just throwing it out.

I’ve jailbroken my ipod
I’ve installed BSD, the january apps, bosstools, customize (and a few other games)
I’ve added the sources

But now… Nothing seems to have changed on my home page. I don’t have any new applications (just the ones that I had after jailbreaking) though when I access Installer, there they are on the uninstall section.

What’s going on? Should I reset the poor thing?

Thanks again. You guys are doing a great job. =)
Ryan D, May 20, 2008:

Keep freezing on me, but ive been able to get to this part

In the Install tab, go to iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps
Add the source
In Installer, go to Install, All Packages, then install BossTool <—did this already
Once installed, click home and let the iPod refresh
Click BossTools, Free Disk Space, then Relocate Fonts <—did this already
You can then uninstall BossTool in Installer in the Uninstall tab

and when I try to get into the install tab it freezes. Help?

hey…..i downloaded Ziphone and sync’d my ipod touch and all is cool and then i get to this part of the instructions :
“4. Get it Running

* In installer, go to the Install tab, click all packages, and install BSD Subsystem
* To get the January apps, go to the sources tab and click edit, and add http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml”
and it says “error….cannot find host” does the touch need to be connected via WiFi for this jailbreak to be done completely? and if so is there a way without WiFi
“bLONDE MOMENT”

Arris666, May 28, 2008:

Excellent forum guys. Very impressed. Just tweaked my IPod touch 32gb and its the best toy ever No work getting dome now tho :-/

Does anyone know any websites that lists lots of sources with applications available that can be added to the ipod touch????

And i want to be able to control my laptop at home from another WiFi location so i’ve installed Touchpad Pro. Ive managed to install but what i do next ive no idea……. do i add a server??? if so what does Mac Mode and Media Server mean???? When it asks for address is it wanting my home IP Address???

Any help is appreciated.

Regards Arris666

drazikk, May 30, 2008:

i have a question. reply in an email please. anyways i was trying to jailbreak my ipod touch today and something happened. it now displays a MS dos looking screen and keeps repeating the phrase “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0″.

if you have any idea how to return it to normal please email me at azozzyfan19902001@gmail.com

thanks in advance.

ps. i got the touch as a graduation present and now if i broke it only two days later i would hate myself forever. and since the extended warrenty expires on any third party caused problems i can not send it in to be replaced.

***sorry about my first comment….
Arris666, May 30, 2008:

Still finding it difficult to understand what you mean Shay, What do you mean ” The Ipod Hang”????? What do you mean??? Hold down the home button and on/off button untill the itunes logo appears. Let go of on/off and keep home pressed down. This should “factory reset” the ipod so to speak. Once you have your original screen back connect to i-tunes and then factory reset the ipod.

After the Ipod is back to original state try reading this forum from the beggining. Alot of people are only reading parts of this and trying to run before they can walk. It clearly states all this in earlier posts from the genius that created this site!!!

There are two different ways to jailbreak your ipod, try the other version to the one that has not worked this time! simple!
Beerus, May 30, 2008:

So, I got my iPod jailbroken and installed some apps, but then I plugged the iPod back in my computer and I can’t sync it. It only has the restore option. What do I do to allow myself to sync again?
Williams, May 30, 2008:

I want to jailbreak my ipod but i downloaded the extra thingy for it including mail stocks and maps. will i lse this if i jailbreak it? ive got 1.1.4 with the software upgrade.
Torch, May 31, 2008:

Hey Williams,

You won’t lose your January upgrade apps. I just jailbroke my 1.1.4 16gig Touch and it worked like a charm. Just follow the instructions that are on this site(minus the part about getting the January apps because you already have them). Top of this page, Latest Jailbreak 1.1.4 Method.

if you can’t find it just post this in your address bar: http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/ipod-touch/detailed-instructions-on-how-to-jailbreak-114/
Williams, May 31, 2008:

cheers
ill try that tonight
Brian, May 31, 2008:

when i go to install things or even just press on random things my ipod just freezes.
is this bad?
Dave, May 31, 2008:

I followed the steps in exact order (3 times now) on an ipod touch 1.14 and kept running into the same problem. When I got to this step “To get the January apps, go to the sources tab and click edit, and add http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml ” the unit would just freeze up while typing in the address. After a few times wrestling with this issue I have discovered that the unti locks up ANY time the keyboard appears on any application or function.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Dave, May 31, 2008:

Sorry…just read further up the reply thread and found the reference to the keyboard crash loop. I will start over and follow that and see how it goes.

Sorry if I sound a little slow, but in stage 4 it says ‘In the Install tab, go to iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps’. Everything has worked up until this stage but I can’t find any iPhone 1.1.4 Applications it’s just all the Development, Dictionaries, eBooks etc.. What am I doing wrong?!

Hey, I’m a new ipod youch owner and just learned about hacking it. I was wondering if you need a Wi-Fi connection to use the touch after you hack it. For example apps or games. Or just for certain things. Please help because i want to get the most out of this ipod touch. Thanks

kris, June 1, 2008:

the first time i did this, after adding the first source it asked me to update installer, which i did. this made my ipod touch completely unstable, froze all the time, unuseable. i restored it and have no updated installer, and so far all is well. thanks =)

austin, June 3, 2008:

hey,
i was just wondering if jailbreaking my ipod is worth the risk of it voiding my warranty. And how often do the ipods freeze/ get screwed up? Oh I have a 16G ipod touch. The help would be greatly appreciated.
austin, June 3, 2008:

O yea respond via this web site cause i rarely check my email

Thanks again.
tigerspew, June 4, 2008:

James, June 4, 2008:

Hey guys just want to ask (I’m following the instructions and trying to jailbreak my iPod touch now) how long did it take for you to finish the whole jailbreaking process?
amim, June 4, 2008:

Duke, June 5, 2008:

what happens if you dont restore your ipod?
pete, June 5, 2008:

Hi I have a 32gb iTouch and my son has a 8Gb one. I plan on Jailbreaking mine and told my son to wait till I try it out first in fear of having it broken. From what I have read there are 2 main jailbreaker codes, from Ziphone and iLiberty. There is not a lot of forums for iLiberty, but more for Ziphone, yet I sense that iLiberty is more user friendly. I was leaning towards Iliberty, but cannot find the site. Any recomendations or tips.
rAwks, June 5, 2008:

To Pete…

There are many pros and cons for both Ziphone and iLiberty. Since you haven’t done anything yet, you can try out the new jailbreak WinPwn. Lone Stag (another writer) posted a post with step by step. WinPwn fixes the bugs that usual appear with Ziphone and iLiberty. Try it out! Hope all goes well!
Keltic, June 5, 2008:

I was wondering how big is the Ziphone file when you first DL it cuz it’s taking me forever!!!
bee, June 5, 2008:

Serge, June 7, 2008:

I tried to JB my iPod Touch but it failed and now it’s stuck on the:
BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0
sequence and it wont let me restore it…
What can I do?? I cant restore it!! Plz help!!
RenRen, June 7, 2008:

It fixed itself after a day, asking for an upgrade so everything’s fine. I still wanna know what apps help with my iTouch I heard something about BossTools? Anyway danine, wires came out? That’s pretty bad… I don’t think you can save it. Describe it in more detail please.
Poo, June 8, 2008:

Perfect – excellent clear simple instructions, no hassles at all! Your efforts are much appreciated, and worth donating to keep alive… I mean we all saved a bit of coin by not paying for the January apps!
murat, June 8, 2008:

Gabriel, June 8, 2008:

Does anyone know how to be able to watch videos on the internet? You can watch videos on YouTube but not on EbaumsWorld or KillSomeTime. If anyone can tell me an app to look out for or even a whole guide to achieving this that would be great. Cheers guys.

Jesse, June 9, 2008:

Can u only jailbreak when u got wireless internet??
Jesse, June 9, 2008:

4. Get it Running

In installer, go to the Install tab, click all packages, and install BSD Subsystem
To get the January apps, go to the sources tab and click edit, and add http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
In the Install tab, go to iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps
Add the source
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

Can u do this stuff without wireless internet because I dont have it.
plz help me
Clueless, June 9, 2008:

Umm… very stupid question but what exactly is Ziphone? Do i need to install it in order to jailbreak and iPod touch? or is it just for phones. Sorry if this is a very dumb question but i could not find an answer anywhere.
Also, what is the percent that, when jailbreaking an ipod touch, something goes wrong (major or minor)

thanks/ sorry!
Yoyoyo, June 9, 2008:

aight i restored and updated to 1.1.4, then i downloaded ziphone, and started the jailbreaking. now my ipod screen is suck on this black page with white writing on it.. ive restarted it 4 times now and still stuck!!!! wat do i do!??????????!!!!
phil, June 11, 2008:

hey the only effective way is to.. TRY THIS IF YOURE EXPERIENCING ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH FROZEN SCREENS’ !!!!!!

hold down the home key and power off button until the screen goes black.

when black, DO NOT PRESS DOWN THE POWER KEY. hold the home key and at the exact same time insert the USB plug into the bottom.

when it shows its in recovery mode, turn on itunes and restore your ipod.

good luck. follow this carefully
Joe, June 11, 2008:

I need help cause whenever I try to add http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml my touch freezes every single time, usually it’s when I’m typing. Also I tried adding the TTR app and whenever I loaded that up my touch froze. I need some help.
Joe, June 11, 2008:

No I don’t care about the frozen screens it’s the fact that I can’t jailbreak it that’s pissing me off.
brad, June 11, 2008:

is the http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml website down? when i try to put it into my phone it doesn’t work so january updates dont work
Sean, June 11, 2008:

i used ziphone gui v3.0 to jailbreak my 16 gb ipod touch, but in the process, it froze, itunes wont recognize it and now it is just black with left lettering saying:
