Jailbreak para iPod Touch 2G

El Jailbreak para el iPod Touch 2G, ya no es una novedad, hace tiempo que Red Sn0w esta siendo de mucha ayuda para quienes optan por este metodo de "liberacion" de sus equipos.

Bueno pues hace una semana tuve la oportunidad de tener en mis manos un iTouch para hacerle dicho proceso.

Investigando me tope con un tutorial muy bien explicado con el que logre hacerle el Jailbreak (despues de 3 intentos fallidos).

Aqui lo dejo:

First Pre-requisites for Jailbreaking iPod Touch 2G Windows XP:
1) Make sure you have upgraded to latest firmware 2.2.1 for iPod Touch 2G

2) If you are using Cyw00d Jailbreak method than the only thing you would require is a Apple Device Software Update ipsw file of firmware 2.2.1. How to get this file? easy if you have recently updated your iPod Touch then it must be present at this location

C:\Documents and Settings\"Computeruser"\ApplicationData\Applecomputer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

File name is iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore, size 277MB , if its not there then you can download Apple iPod Touch 2G firmware from here, I would recommend to download via iTunes using updates.

3) Download Cyw00d jailbreak helper version 1.7, extract it to a Folder named iPod Touch. Download from Rapidshare, this is a stable release. Forum thread

4) Copy the IPSW file to the iPod Touch folder where you extracted the Jailbreaker, see image



4) LibUSB included in the program

5) C++ redistributable included in the program

6) Includes Cydia and Installer

7) Redsn0w included not visible

This Jailbreak method is for 32 bit OS users only

Starting the Jailbreak Process Step by Step :

STEP 1 :



As this is a GUI based Jailbreaker, the steps are self explanatory, first you need to install the libUSB drivers and then C++ redistributable package that will help the program, Warning: Microsoft Vista users need to run libUSB in Windows XP compatibility mode, for this find and right click on libUSB executable( present in the install folder where you extracted Jailbreaker), click on Properties then compatibility mode and set it to Windows XP.

STEP 2 :



In step two we’ll create patched firmware/Custom firmware from this iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore file, this will be saved as JailbrokenIPSW, Click iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore and further click on Start making IPSW, you will not see JailbrokenIPSW.ipsw in this step( i created screenshots later)

STEP 3 : also see same image of step 5



DFU MODE : in order to install the jailbroken IPSW file back to the iPod touch we will need to enter in the DFU MODE or Service mode, for this Hold Down Power and Home Button for ten seconds( hear dding sound) leave Power and keep holding the Home Button for 8 more seconds( dding sound) and leave it, don’t freak out its simple. In my case i heard dding sounds around 10th and 17th seconds, and even if you don’t get it right for the first time try again.

After this click Upload DFU File

Disconnect your iPod Touch, and reconnect after 3 seconds, a white screen means success. Now click on Upload own patch bin button

STEP 4 :



Click on Press me , right click and paste in the command prompt, wait for a while

Open iTunes, now it must be asking you for a restore, Hold on the shift button on your computer and click restore on iTunes, navigate to folder "iPod Touch" and select JailbrokenIPSW, now iTunes will restore our newly made custom patched firmware, this might take a couple of minutes.

STEP 5:



Repeat Step 3, DFU mode Power&Home for 10s leave power-> keep pressing Home for 8 more seconds( hear dding sounds) and leave -> upload DFU file -> disconnect - 3 seconds-reconnect -> white screen -> upload own patch

STEP 6:



Easiest step

Click on Press Me -> Command prompt pops up -> Right click and paste.

STEP 7:



Press 1st button Upload Patched DFU -> press second button command prompt will pop up -> Press go -> Enter and then /exit -> Enter, same with 3rd and 4th button, your otherwise dead iPod Touch should spring to life showing the iTunes logo. Congratulation Jailbreak of iPod Touch is now complete.

Enjoy your Jailbroken iPod Touch.

If you need to restart your iPod Touch then you will have to follow steps 5 to 7, remember to disconnect and reconnect the device on every try.

Time required for Jailbreak: 10 minutes

Time required to restart and boot using DFU mode: 1 minute, if it seems to you that your iPod Touch is bricked, you need to follow steps 5 to 7. Unplug and Replug with every try.
