Ok. Here it is.To waatch the video tutorial, go to www.youtube.com/iPodTouchHacksSite to watch.

1. Download a bunch of stuff.

• Download WinPwn
• Download the firmware. iPhone 3G firmware 2.0.1 here and iPhone first gen here. The iPod Touch firmware must be purchased legally using iTunes
• Download the latest version of iTunes here

2. Get everything ready

• Get your iPod/iPhone running firmware 2.0.1. Plug your device in and hold shift and click restore in iTunes and click your firmware
• Before instaalling WinPwn, make sure you remove any other copies of WinPwn on your computer. Only worry about this if you have ever installed previous versions of WinPwn on your computer.
• Install WinPwn

3. Starting WinPwn

• Run the WinPwn program
• Click “Browse .ipsw”
• Select the firmware file that you are currently running (should be 2.0.1)

4. Create custom firmware

• Now click “IPSW BUILDER”
• A new screen will pop up. The first tab shows thae applications to install. I recommend installing all of them. Cydia an alternative to Installer. Since Installer is now in a beta stage, Cydia will be much needed. The YouTube fix is a just in case
• Go to the “Custom Images” tab
• Select the images that you would like for your device
• Don’t worry about the other two tabs
• Click “Build .ipsw” and save your new firmware to your desktop (its easier to find later)
• Wait for it to be created

5. Pwn iTunes

• In WinPwn, click “iPwner”
• Select the firmware file you just created and saved to your desktop
• Wait for WinPwn to say “iTunes has been pwned. You can now restore your ipsw using DFU mode

6. Get your device in DFU mode.

• Turn the volume on your computer up
• Turn your iPod off
• Hold power and home for ten seconds (one thousand one, one thousand two…)
• Let go of the power button while still holding the home button
• Listen and keep holding home until you hear your computer ddo the USB beep (do dO)
• Let go of home
• Your device should show up in iTunes in DFU mode. Your device’s screen should be blank (if it has the “connect to iTunes logo”, turn it off and try again)

7. Restore with your custon firmware

• In iTunes, hold shift and click restore
• Select the custom firmware you created
• Wait while iTunes restores your newly pwned device

8. Final touches

• On your iPod/iPhone, go to Settings, General, Auto-Lock, and set it to 5 minutes
• Go to Cydia and let it install its updates and such
• Go to Sections, All Packages, and select BossTool and install it
• Once installed, exit Cydia and open BossTool
• Move the fonts. This might take a while, but just wait until it says “Fonts Already Moved”
• Open Cydia, Go to Manage, click BossTool, select Modify, and remove it

9. If you want to deal with Installer

• Open Installer and go to categories and select sources. Install Community Sources
• If this doesn’t work, go to the sources tab and try to refresh the source there
• Keep checking Installer and wait for updates and a version that isn’t beta

That’s it. I will try to find a camera to film how to do this. Until then, keep reading and checking up the site to see if I made any changes or if any bugs were found. If you have any problems, email me at LoneStag01@aim.com. I don’t respond to posts, but I might respond to the first few on this page because of this being a new thing for most of you.

Enjoy your new Pwnership

Lone Stag

   Awesome, man! JUst what I was looking for! I just refreshed the page and there it is!!! Thanks a lot!

2. EtOmar, August 17, 2008:

   Hey! One question, where in iTunes do I click restore?

3. The Lone Stag, August 17, 2008:

   When it detects your device, a screen with your ipod will pop up. it will say update or restore. Hold shift and click restore.

4. EtOmar, August 17, 2008:

   Thanks!

5. EtOmar, August 17, 2008:

   Ummm… I’m getting an error: “The iPod “iPod could not be updated. An error has occured.” And, I’m not sure if this was supposed to happen, but all my media files were erased from the iPod!

6. The Lone Stag, August 17, 2008:

   Retry again. I think you messed up somewhere with iPwner so watch out for that.

7. EtOmar, August 17, 2008:

   I should be more specific! The error messege appears when I try to get the iPod running 2.0.1! Before using WinPwn!

8. The Lone Stag, August 17, 2008:

   You need a later version of iTunes. 7.7.1

9. EtOmar, August 17, 2008:

   I’ve got the latest version. Just installed.

10. DrLeo, August 17, 2008:

    WORKED GREAT!!!! Just getting the Ipod Touch into DFU was the challenge. Am busy now reloading MY faforite apps, NOT Apple’s.
    Super job, gang.

11. Landon, August 17, 2008:

    Much appreciated!

12. mr pewbs, August 18, 2008:

    where can u get or download apps besides in itunes that are free?

13. vanswa Garbutt, August 18, 2008:

    just a quick question. If you install this can you still use apple apps and the apple app store along side with the apps from cydia?

14. Asterix, August 18, 2008:

    Important, when getting Error 6 at the end, just do it all again, step by step, and always close the programs you don not need, then it works fine. i tried it several times and now i am where i wanted to be. I think my mistake was to keep itunes open when handling with winpwn.
    Good luck to all of you and thank you. i apreciate your guys work.
    Peace and free tibet!!!

15. Tj, August 18, 2008:

    Thank you soo soo soo much! I was worried it would like break or something but it’s restoring right now with the pretty rainbow apple and says iPwned with WinPwn.

    ps. If your iPod is stuck in DFU and Windows says it’s malfunctioning, make sure the USB is straight into the CP, with no 4-way ports or anything. I was freaked out for a few minutes there, but now I’m good

16. EtOmar, August 18, 2008:

    my ipod is broken help, i put it in the cd drive, and it wont come out

    i have tried to take it out with water, but my laptop turned off, what do i do?

17. dmdanleaf, August 18, 2008:

    Excellent work, very detailed and accurate, by far the best instructions I have seen.

    Thank You

18. Topsoil, August 18, 2008:

    I downloaded WinPwn and it won’t open.

19. nova, August 19, 2008:

    Just wondering, are some of our favorite apps 2.0.1 compatible? Apps like customize, categories, wildeyes, moleskin, bunch of stuff.. I know for one that moleskin has moved to the app store already?

    Anyway, thanks for the post lone stag.

20. Josh, August 19, 2008:

    Im getting the error 6 also, tried lots of things, still not working

21. Josh, August 19, 2008:

    how do I get it out of dfu mode??

22. Dave, August 19, 2008:

    This is rubbish, tried many times following directions to the letter and still error 6

23. John, August 19, 2008:

    Is there a way to install firmware 2.0.1 without losing my songs? This excludes using winpwn

24. Juba, August 19, 2008:

    For anyone who is getting error 6 during restore, your ipod is not being put into dfu mode properly!! I had this problem untill I found out restore is not the same thing as dfu. If you see the connect to itunes screen you haven’t done it correctly

25. JO, August 20, 2008:

    Great!! Thanks a lot man!! I will follow this instruction and try tonight!

26. Frank, August 20, 2008:

    It won’t let me download the 2.0.1 firmware. I already purchased it legally so can i skip the browse .ipsw step and go straight to the ipsw builder step. If not can anyone tell me where i can download the 2.0.1 firmware from?? Thanks

27. beeshabo, August 20, 2008:

    I too need the 2.0.1 firmware, the link provided doesn’t work….thanks!!

28. Mike, August 21, 2008:

    2.01 touch firmware link dosen’t work. Alternate link or site?

29. bone, August 21, 2008:

    Still waiting to hear if Itunes and the itunes store still work after doing this. I know the jailbreak for 1.1.4 allowed it, but haven’t heard about this one.

30. Frank, August 21, 2008:

    Hi, for all the people who can’t find the 2.0.1 firmware, j found one that worked, this is the url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEQwIAumHOg if you click on the link in the description of the video it will take you to a site where you download it for free.
    Now i have question if someone can help me, is there anywhere i can get a good 1.1.4 firmware because i am tryin to restore my ipod back so i can try the 1.1.4 jailbreak. I have downloaded a few but none seem to work for me.

31. Tomate, August 23, 2008:

    I don’t have an Ipod Touch yet, but i’ll buy it next month and I want to know if it worked well for you guys and if it worth.
    I want to know if the apple in the startup of ipod touch turns into a pineapple or something like that (like quickpwn) ’cause i didn’t like that pineapple at all. I want to keep the Apple’s apple! ;D

32. tim, August 26, 2008:

    umm i have a problem…when i do the dfu mode, after 10 sec i let go of sleep and then once i hear the sound, a window also pops up saying waiting for ipod… and a status bar under it. i let go and it crashes. if i wait for bar to get full, it doesnt let me install the custom fw

33. Paul, August 27, 2008:
