JAILBREAKING AN iPOD TOUCH with FIRMWARE 1.1.2
(note: you need a wireless internet connection aka WIFI to do this )
a video of a jailbreaked iPod touch (sorry if its a mess!)
1) if the firmware of your ipod touch is on 1.1.2 then you need to DOWNGRADE it to 1.1.1
2) here is the link where you can download the 1.1.1 firmware: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-3932.20070927.p23dD/iPod1,1_1.1.1_3A110a_Restore.ipsw
3) save it anywhere on your pc, but preferably on desktop so that it wont be that hard to look for it. then connect your iPod Touch to PC and Open iTunes. (i believe you have iTunes already right?)
4) Open your iPod touch in iTunes.
5) you need to Hold the SHIFT key and click "Check for Update"
6) a pop up window will appear then locate the file you that you have just downloaded on your desktop and open it.
7) and just wait for a few seconds and just let it do its job... and it will downgrade the firmware of you iPod touch... after that we proceed on the next step:
JAILBREAKING YOUR iPOD TOUCH again! (for updated jailbreaked 1.1.1 to 1.1.2:
1) on your iPod touch (of courSE) Open Safari and go to: jailbreakme.com (make sure that you are connected on a WIFI, coz if not, then you wont be able to connect on the internet obviously)
2) On that website scroll down and click Install AppSnapp
3) and it will close your Safari automatically and it will download the "installer" on your iPod, and just wait for a few seconds until its done
4) Slide to unlock, and congratulations!!! you just jailbroken your iPod Touch! just to make sure that it did the right job, check on your screen on your iPod Touch the icon "installer" (the icon is a blue thingy) on your iPod Touch.
5) Click on "installer" icon
6) and at the very bottom of your screen (not the page) click on the icon INSTALL (the icon is between FEATURED and UPDATE)
7) after clicking the INSTALL icon, there are a lot of folders in there, now go to Tweaks 1.1.1 and open it
8) and on that folder you should see oktoPrep, now click it and install it.
9) then after that exit the installer
TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE FROM 1.1.1 TO 1.1.2
1) Connect again your iPod Touch to your computer and open iTunes.
2) Open your iPod Touch on your iTunes and click on Update
3) It will install the new firmware to your iPod Touch for a couple of seconds
4) after the installation is done, your iPod touch will restart by itself, don't be nervous you are on the right track
5) now check your iPod touch firmware and it should be on 1.1.2
THIS IS THE LAST STEP DONT WORRY!
1) Close your iTunes
2) Open the Task Manager (you can right click on taskbar then click Task Manager or press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and choose Task Manager)
3) Close everything (click on that file and click on end process) that has the following filename: iTunes Helper, AppleMobileDeviceService, iPodervice
4) Close your task manager
5) and download this file and save it on your desktop again http://rapidshare.com/files/72237156/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip (you need to have a winzip program or any program that can open zipped files and extract the zipped files on a folder)
6)and connect again your iPod touch to your computer (if you disconnected your iPod touch from your computer)
7) Then open the extracted folder Jailbreak 1.1.2
8) Double click on windows.bat(for Windows users), Double click on jailbreak.jar(for MAC-users)
9) and just follow the instructions from there and make sure that you tick the box(put a checkmark on the box) to enable SSH (this is very important because it this gives you the ability to install your own apps or files later)
10) Then press JAILBREAK! and just wait for a couple of seconds or minutes again... and just let it do the thing... after successfully jailbreaking your 1.1.2 firmware, it will restart your ipod touch a couple of times.. just wait for it (dont panic coz it's normal) after that, you should see the icon again INSTALLER on you iPod Touch screen, and enjoy installing some programs or all of them lolz.by the way, you need to be connected on WIFI so you can download and install those applications/programs...
