How to “jailbreak” your Ipod touch 2G:

Step 0: Get the official 3.0 firmware, without it will not work. You need to “restore” your Ipod touch 2G to the latest firmware.
You can either “buy” it on iTunes or “download” it (for free) from Apple’s website.
You would do so by going to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and using the second drop-down menu to “get the 3.0 firmware”. This will be downloaded from Apple’s website, not Felix’ (so no worries).

Step 1: Download redsn0w from any Dev-Team blog link or the link above (it is the 1-to-1 carbon copy of their file and has not been “funked with”). Dev-Team? Yes, the guys providing the redsn0w (http://blog.iphone-dev.org)

Step 2: Extract the files and put them into a folder on your desktop called redsnow (or whatever you like)

Step 3: Locate your IPSW file for 3.0. It should be located at
C:\Users\*USERNAME8\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates (or any download folder if you downloaded it).

Step 4: Copy this file into the redsnow folder on your desktop

Step 5: Put your iPod into DFU mode and connect it to iTunes. To enter DFU mode, turn your ipod off and then hold the lock and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the lock button while holding the home button. iTunes should say your ipod is in DFU mode an needs to restore, just ignore it and move on to step 6

Step 6: Drag the IPSW onto redsn0w.exe

Step 7: Let it do its thing

Step 8: Enjoy, you are done. This takes under 2 minutes (max).

Note: if it ever freezes or shuts down. Just unplug, reset (hold both buttons), and try again.

Good Luck!

Tim,
to install “cracked apps” you need to get onto google or eventually youtube and look out for something like this or or this video which will describe how to do it.
I think you will get the general idea. However, be informed: doing these things is sort of not legal in most countries :)

Hi Thomas and thank you for commenting:
If you cannot locate the file, be sure to DOWNLOAD it to the desktop.
I am sure you can take it from there,
good luck!

hello nick,
you need to unzip the file onto your desktop so that you got the ipsw file to select.
you can use winzip or winrar (both findable by means of google) to unzip the file.

best,
jez
