Hi, I just jailbreaked my Ipod Touch 2g it's works perfectly. There is just one thing, then you want to install the custom frimware Itunes auto download the original firm but you need just to rename the Custom firmware by iPod2,1_2.2.1_5H11a_Restore.ipsw
and place it in (under Vista) Roaming > Apple Computer > iTunes > iPod Software Updates
and it works

It worked perfectly for me. Just follow the instructions and it should work for you as well. This will also install Cydia so you can download all the apps in the Cydia store as well as the iTunes store. The entire process took about 45 min on an extremely old laptop. Processor was pegged pretty much the entire time. Should go faster with a better computer.

Good Luck!

Excellent ... As easy as ABC. I now feel that Apple doesn't own me anymore.
Many Thanks to the team

Anonymous August 11, 2009 5:31 PM  

well, i am scared to try it because i dont want it to mess up my ipod or computer.. will it?

Anonymous August 13, 2009 4:33 PM  

even though i do not own itouch, but from experience with other people itouch, jailbreaking could messes up your itouch, but a guess from me, is that if you do it carefully and do everything right it probably might not messes up anyhthing. and if you cant really acsess the program jailbreak or you cant do it, cause something wrong, i suggest you not continue it might messes up the whole itouch.

I seriously need help >.<

I'm having trouble restoring my iPod, as it shuts down from iTunes. iTunes has been shutting down on me, it doesn't work when my iPod is plugged in. When it's restoring it'll stay good for like ten minutes then it will shut down. Is there any way to jailbreak it without iTunes, or to bypass that step?
