There are so many mixed feelings and thoughts about which jailbreak to use. I can’t give you a DEFINITE answer on which one to use. All I can do is write a post about my jailbreak experiences to express how I feel about them. Then it’s your choice on which one to use.
When I first started writing for ipodtouchhacks.com, I used Ziphone 2.6 and I did stumble upon a few obstacles. I ran into the BSD root error, my permissions for the notes app was messed up, and my mail app was always crashing. All these problems that occurred were easily fixed by either doing a hard reset, changing the permissions to the correct ones, and installing a fix for it. This jailbreak lasted me a great amount of time and I was really pleased with Ziphone. Then Friday night I was uninstalling applications I hardly used to give me less pages on the home screen. I found out I did something wrong when I plugged in my iPod into my laptop and it wouldn’t connect anymore. I got that annoying “Can’t connect to iTunes” blah blah blah error. I don’t have a lot of time on my hands, but I had to do it…I restored my iPod to factory settings. Since, Ziphone came out with 3.0…I decided to use that. The jailbreak was quick and it was nice that it installs BSD Subsystem, Installer, and OpenSSH at the same time. It seemed like everything was fine, so I installed a few applications onto my iPod. I plugged in my iPod to put some songs on it, but same thing….”Can’t connect to iTunes” blah blah blah error. I did this maybe another 2 times and the same outcome occurred. I decided to use iLiberty this time. I liked how this jailbreak gave you a choice to install recommended applications while it was being jailbroken. The jailbreak seemed fine, but my iPod kept on freezing. I tried this jailbreak again and the same thing happened. I noticed I still had my original Ziphone 2.6 program on my laptop still, so I used that. Guess what happened…my iPod is working PERFECTLY!!!
It’s tough to give recommendations about which jailbreak to use because there are so many pros and cons for certain people. I used Ziphone 3.0 on my cousin’s iPhone and it worked perfectly. Dloader girl used iLiberty and she supports it 100%. So…all I can say is to choose one and try it out. If it doesn’t work for you, then try the other one out. If none of them work, use Ziphone 2.6…haha. Hope all goes well!
