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.

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.)
ZiPhone worked perfect for me a while ago. Zibri is a genius. Anyway, thank you for this post.
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!
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!
@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…
About Bosstools. I never did install that. Should I install it?
What I mean is what are the consequences from not installing and running Bosstool?
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
Parab,
Is your touch locked or asleep when you plug it in?
it is still functional but cant synchronize with itunes
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
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!
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!
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.
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!
To Dani:
Do a hard reset. Hold power and home until it turns off. Keep holding until it has the connect to iTunes logo.
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.
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???
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.
The hard reset didn’t work, anything else i can do to fix it?
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?
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Lawrence,
I had all my contacts on my Ipod and my mail set up and some music when I Jailbroke it. Not bad.
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.
Concerning Rawks comment on the freezing keyboard. His suggestion worked like a charm for me.

The hard reset didn’t work, anything else i can do to fix it?
Yo Dani leave the ipod on and let the battery diee
when it doess connect it to ur comupter
and then do the hard reset
cuz the same thing happened to me
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?
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
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
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
cant even install bsd subsystem. what am i doing wrong???
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!
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!
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!
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=)
iLiberty is so much better than this. Simple and bug free.
My Ipod says it cant connect to ipod b/c of unknown error occured (0xE8000022) im so lost i need help
To Stein:
Reinstall installer. On the home screen of installer, click the logo and reinstall.
To SindreKul:
Forget about it. It is automatically installed.
To EVERYONE:
Are you actually reading the instructions? Read the warning. It helps.
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.
Has anyone seen a version of Iquiz for the Ipod touch in any of the repos?
Also, is there a freeware video converter for the Ipod touch? hehe
dloader girl:
Could you post a link to the iliberty software and also to some helpful videos on using it for the readers?
Thanks
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!
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
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.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/games/iquiz.html
(i dont know how to write correctly english so try to understand the best possible) =]
like i have already jailbroken..
but i cant add any source..
and the installer some times like just froze!
help please!
thanks!
well actually everything in installer is slow..
and i dont know why when you touch something it just froze
tyvm worked for me
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.
@ 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.
I need some help restoring my ipod touch… i was downloading stuff from the installer and it was ok, when i hit the home button the ipod was just thinking and stayed like that, so i tryed turning it off but now i just get the apple logo, i tryed to restore it on itunes but i justget errors help please. any answers just email me at luis_a_lora@hotmail.com.

thanks again!
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
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!
@ 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 :P.
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 =)
@ Tang:
No problems, dude. I’m happy to have been able to help!
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?
@ 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.
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!!!!
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
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
@ 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.
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
You have to download BSD first before downloading the termfix….
Firstly clear queues, and the install BSD Subsystem, and THEN download the termfix
i tried some other packages…like games “NES”…and it wont let me install anything!!!:’(
BSD subsystem 2.0 termfix is the only “BSD…” thing i see
i just went to uninstaller tab and see “BSD Subsystem” as something i can reinstall…wat does that mean
nvm i fixed yeah

Since you are kicking butnwith answers, how about iquiz? Like with regular iPods
is it safe to jailbreak my 8gb? I just got it today and I don’t want it to break…
To Fitzy:
It is quite safe. If anything goes wrong, the team is here to help.
Ok so whats the best method for 1.1.4?
To Fitzy:
Try ziphone. The instructions are above you.
This really works!! Try it its great!!!
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
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..
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!
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
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!
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
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?
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?
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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?
oh and I tried to restart it but the same thing comes up, Help
To Jack…
Don’t just restart it…do a hard reset. Read the latest post on how to do it. Hope all goes well!
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
To PHER…
I thought that was the source…try this one.
ipodtouched.net/repo.xml
Hope it works!
I used the source Rawks listed
same as the last one, maybe i have to restore it and then jailbreak again.
thanx anyway rAwks you help me a lot!
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!
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
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.
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?
@ 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.
thanks! am gonna do it right now!, dloader girl!!
raWks,
I had never tried the old customize since there were several steps to getting it to work.
I am blowing other ipod Touch owners’ minds when they see the things I have my looking like.
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.
rAwks,
What is the process to install that customize and what is the version number?
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.
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.
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
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 =)
@ 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!
jphillips:
take a look around these forums. I am positive your issue has been addressed at least twice hehe.
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.
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…
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.
kay, im in step four, the getting it started, not i touch the “install” tap and im supposed to find the iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps, but i cant find it, help?
so i held down the home and power button until the apple logo came up and then i let go of the power button and now my ipod shows up in itunes. thanks a lot!
but do i need to restore my ipod? its still doesnt let me install bsd or bosstool and when i try to get the january apps, it still says it can refresh the source. what do i do?
hi, im planning to buy the 32gig touch i was wondering if jailbreak will work with that if not i will just get the 16gig one thx.
Hi i have an Ipod tough 8gb for awile now and im thinking about jailbreaking it. I have 1.1.4 and I was wondering what are the risks of jailbreaking your ipod? Can it completly ruil my ipod? because i really dont want to be out a $350 ipod, please help!

hi rAws & dloader girl & everybody, i downloaded the SummerBoard 3.2 and then install some Themes (SummerBoard) and nothing happens when i look on the SMB prefs Theme icon, (empty).
why happened this? i just restarted and hard restarted but nothing happens on that Theme icon (still empty).
please somebody help me!
thanx
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??
@ 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
@ 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
@ 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.
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).
why did this happened?? i just restarted and hard restarted but nothing happens on that Theme icon (still empty).
please somebody help me!
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!
thanks again rAwks!!
i dont know why the wi fi signal appears me in the hights signal mode ( three layers) but doesnt connect with the internet… is there something or some issue or source that fix it?
Hi, i want to jail break my ipod with the 1.1.4 firmware but all my music is on it and i deleted the music from my pc, is there a way to save my music somewhere so i don’t lose it all.
Thanks in advance,
Taidgh
It screwed up my freakin ipod now all there is is wiriting
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.
@ 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.
@ 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…
wat happened to me was that i jailbroke my ipod touch 16GB and it workd fine but after i installed the BSD Subsystem, I went back to the install tab to try and find the the iPhone 1.1.4 Applications and install iPhone 1.1.4 Apps but they werent there….
help please
Thanks
but how do u change the background on the screen with the apps?
To martin…
You have to add a source to get the 1.1.4 apps on your iPod. I put this source in: http://ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml
Hope all goes well!
great thanks rAwks! it worked this time
but i also had another question…what does it mean by “add the source”? where am i supposed to add it?
nvm
I still have troubles with the summerboard, when i tab the Theme tab on the SMBprefs stills empty, but the background of my iPod has change as like as the wallpaper, why did this happenedf?
Ive been iffy wheter or not to jailbreak. I have the software upgrade. I was wondering if ziphone will take the apps off cause i paid 20 bucks for those apps
