I have gotten too many emails on whether or not to jailbreak your iPod.
DO IT.
Seriously, you need to at least try. So far, there is no possible way to completely break your iPod other than throwing it on the ground and jumping on it. I have bricked and “broken” my iPod so many times that I have lost count. This is because I try beta apps and jailbreak methods. You don’t have to. That is why I’m here.
You don’t have to worry if something goes wrong. If it won’t connect to iTunes, you have a problem during the jailbreak, or some other problem where your iPod won’t run correctly, then do a hard restore.
How to do a hard restore
- Plug your iPod into your computer.
- Hold power and home until the iPod turns off. KEEP HOLDING.
- When the Apple logo shows up, let go of the power button. KEEP HOLDING HOME.
- Hold home until the “Connect to iTunes” logo appears.
- Restore.
- Your iPod is fixed and you can go back to doing whatever you wanted to do.
I know some of you are thinking, “Why should I jailbreak my iPod?” Well there are many reasons.
- Add applications that make the most out of your iPod such as Instant Messaging, Screencapturers, Customize options, Computer Controllers, etc.
- Add awesome games such as Parking Lot, Tetris, Mah Jong, Gameboy games, etc.
- Get the January Update Package with the Wiggle Feature for FREE.
- Add dictionaries, Youtube downloaders, free music downloaders, etc. etc. etc.
- Learn how to jailbreak by reading this
This is a cool thing to do. For those of you who have jailbroken, post a comment. Inspire some iPodder into hacking his iPod. Give positive feedback. List why you jailbroke, how it works, or at least if it was worth it. You could change someone’s entertainment experience. I might have helped you, why don’t you give back to the community.
Enjoy.

I’m also one of those who thought it’s stupid to jailbreak my ipodtouch but my curiosity got the better of me. After reading all things about jailbreaking, I finally decided to take the plunge. Btw, I just followed the instructions posted in this site and there was my iPod touch screaming out loud for applications.
Jailbreaking is not really a problem, installing “some” applications is. I’ve experienced keyboard freeze when installing a host of applications so I have to restore my ipodtouch over and over. My tip is install only one application at a time then after restarting check whether your device is working properly, especially when you’re typing on it.
Go jailbreak your ipodtouch.
Only just jailbroke my itouch, and was very wary at first, but when I came across this site I was convinced.
It’s the best thing i’ve ever done. One of the things i like most about my nano was the games, and was pretty miffed when the Itouch didnt have any, so i’ve more than made up for it :]
Thankyou So much
I jailbroke my iPod touch and then when I come to sync it, it won’t sync. I kept trying until it did but the artwork was all messed up! Please help!!
I always wanted a psp to get custom firmware on it. Essentially hack one for kicks to help out a friend. The only problem is, that there is a risk to doing that. When i got my very own Ipod Touch, im like hey, shouldn’t there be a way to hack this like the psp?” to myself. so i googled it and what do you know i found this nifty site (thanx to the maker) and i didn’t even have it for more then 10 hours yet and i jailbroke it. My only regret is why didn’t i do it 9hours sooner lol. Amazing to jailbreak. You also get bragging rights with it for being the only one amongst your friends to not only have a iphone/touch but have roms, games, cool apps, etc and make the most out of them too! I don’t know how ide live without my touch. I use it from entertainment to school work, except i multi task lol (music playing while im doing work). Jailbreaking is definitley worth at least trying. There NO I MEAN NO RISK TO DOING IT. IT IS EXTREMELEY SIMPLE, YOU CAN BACK UP ALL OF YOUR FILES AND PUT THEM BACK ON AFTER AFTER AFTER YOU JAILBREAK IT. I highly suggest it. Anyone can do it even newbs at computers (not being offesive we were all newbs when we first started too). So jailbreak and enjoy. and if you do mess it up there are ways to restore it too. Check this site out the maker has put a lot of valuable work. (credit him too if you refer it to anyone else)
Isnt jail breaking yor iPod illegal? What if it does break, then what?
isnt jail breaking ur iPod illegal? What if it does break, then what?
Actually, the best way to restore, would be to hold the power button until it turns off, let off the power button, hold the home button, plug you ipod/iphone into the pc, and continue holding home until it goes into restore.
Hello,
I just jailbroke my Ipod Touch 32Gb yesterday. Everything was fine until somehow this morning I went to my parents house and tried to connect with the wifi there. Every time I tried to connect and when the AP prompt for WPA passwd it went away and Im back to the home screen. Now, the issue is when I tried to reboot using sysinfo tool it rebooted and somehow I got the pop up screen - Edit Home Scree - with dismiss button. It went on and on looping infinitely. Below is the steps that I have taken to solve but the issue still remains;
1. Tried to connect to the PC and open Itune - Itune cannot detect the Ipod
2. Tried to do hard reset and wait for the pic of ‘connect to itune’ - the pic never came up.
Anyone can help me here.
somehow I have missed out Dave’s comment just right before mine here. I tried and it seems to work. Thanks Dave.
