If this F.A.Q. helped, please consider donating to help me help you.
I have recently received an unusually high amount of questions pertaining to the 2nd Gen. Jailbreak for the iPod Touch. So, I have decided to make a little Frequently Asked Questions Page to help you out.
Your questions, although there have been a lot of them, are all very similar. For any additional questions you can reach me at roosterhelp at gmail dot com
1. Question: I get an error when I try to jailbreak my iPod. What should I do? (95% of the questions I get)
Answer: I know this sounds shocking, but you probably just made a syntax error and should try again. Erase all the downloads and start the process all over. If the problem persists after three attempts, contact me and I’ll do my best to help you. Remember to follow the instructions precisely as they are told.
2. Question: For some reason I can’t Jailbreak my iPod on a Vista OS. Help!?
Answer: Unfortunately, Jailbreaking your iPod using Vista has led to the majority of legitimate problems. For some odd reason, a high number of vista users have experienced this problem. Although it works for the majority, a good amount of people have been having issues. I recommend posting your errors here.
3. Question: How do I put my iPod into DFU mode?
Answer: Device Firmware Update Mode is used to install any iPod Touch/iPhone firmware on to your device via the iTunes Shift-recovery method.
1. It is important to get into “DFU mode” and not “recovery mode”.
2. Open iTunes
3. Plug your iPod into your PC
4. Turn off your iPod
5. Hold down both the Home and the Power button for 10 seconds
6. Now let go off Power and keep holding the Home button for an additional 10 seconds
7. Your iPod should now disappear from iTunes.
4. Question: When I try to create the firmware it says there was an error creating the firmware! What do I do?
Answer: Restart your computer and re-download Quickfreedom. Then try again.
5. Question: I succeeded in Jailbreaking the iPod Touch but where can I find Cydia and Installer?
Answer: You can select to install both of these Apps while using Quickfreedom.
Hope this helps, rooster
