  • thx worked like a charm

  • ha i have 10.5.7

  • I can't get past DFU mode.

    I tried to install it but it didn't work so i installed the 10.5.5 version and installed it. After it rebooted i immediately retried connecting to the DFU but it continues to say it is not connecting.

    Did i do anything wrong?

    I'm running a version 10.6.2 mac.

    Thank you for your help

  • i have 10.6 and 2 gen will it work

  • best video for mac users 5 stars

  • i want to but i dont know if it will mess up my itouch... if i have an iMac 10.5.7 and ive heard from some people that you dont need to download the DFU fix if you have an iMac but im not sure

  • not sure dude

  • okay i was using pwnage tool 3.0. found the mistake. but if you restore do you have to sync everything again?

  • what do you do when pwnage tool says wrong firmware bundle selected. i have the 1st gen ipod touch 32 gb and i downloadd the right firmware

  • the only reason why it should say that is if you have downloaded the right firmware. So check, recheck and check again

  • Comment removed

  • this actually worked on my ipod i cant beleive it

    thx man

  • dude how did you get that ring around your mouse when you click, thats sweet

  • oh that's an option in my recording program that i use which is called Screenium

  • yeah I have screenium, where is that option at?

  • i have a question... how long does it take from the downloading of the Mac DFU fix till actually having your iphone ready with cydia?

    i also have another question if you already had applications that you bought from itunes, and you then jailbreak can you still have it jailbroken with your old apps?

  • jailbreaking takes no time at all usually about 10 min. As for the apps that you have bought and are so called "legit" you can still use the after the jailbreak process.

  • hey i need help

    i want to jailbreak my iphone but is there any way that it wont void my warenty

    thanks in advance, Got0Apple87

  • if you jailbreak your phone, apple is not responsible in any shape way or form

  • just click restore if you need to bring it in, theres no way they can tell that you jailbroke it :)

  • I did all that and then i did the alt restore thing,

    it then said extracting software but when that was done it came up with error 1600

    any help?

  • try redoing the process, sometimes it comes out buggy

  • soo i successfully jailbroke my phone using your video

    but when trying to use installous, the apps i download and install using installous arent showing up.

    i read that mobile installation is needed but you didnt say anything about using this file anywhere in your video and i was wondering if i needed to re jailbreak my phone to put this file onto my phone?

  • watch my video on how to SSH into your phone

  • PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!

    i have followed all the steps and i have a mac and an iphone 3g. when i clicked on quickpwn, it goes to the first screen where it shows the three devices. then, it tells me to connect my iphone. when i do, it still says it isnt connected! what should i do!!??

  • make sure you downloaded the fix

  • I've downloaded everything, but will this work for Ipod 2G?

    And where is the firmware for it?

  • read the video name

  • i'm running on mac tiger (10.4.11 i believe) and i've downloaded some firmwares from different sites and none show up on the "searching for firmware bundles" step. can you help?

  • download the firmware from my links

  • would i follow these exact instructions for a mac osx version 10.5?

  • yes

  • I am waiting for it to finish, but it istuck in the pineapple logo. and every 5-6 minutes it flashes like its done, then iPhoto opens, and iTunes acts up like I just plugged it in. It seems like it should have been done now.

  • try not using the custom logo's like the pineapple and w.e use the regular ones

  • Comment removed

  • Man thank you so much! I tried for hours to get this to work and it never did because no one mentioned in there videos about the bug fix for 10.5.6 i downloaded the fix and then it worked the first time i tried. I appreciate it man, thanks!

  • Thanks for this it worked perfectly. I really appreciate it and Cydia is so cool

    You won yourself a new subscriber.

    Thanks

  • i have an odd question i have the itouch 2nd gen n im gettin the 2.2.1 firmware, but what exactly is the difference after downloading it

  • its a whole different process for jailbreaking the 2nd gen itouch

  • what if you're running on a MAC OS X 10.5.7?

  • same thing

  • buddy i did everything you said by the book but when it comes to hit restore i, press alt and restore it shows me the screen and it starts to download stuff and then it just shuts off and tells me that it does not allow it. i have a firmware 2.2.1 and 02.30.3...help!

  • i must say i have no idea lol i dunno what to tell ya sry man

  • I'm debating whether to jailbreak, or to just leave my phone stock. I have a 16GB iPhone, and I don't know if I want to risk losing my phone, but I've been reading up and I've found that there isn't really a risk of bricking or totaling, is this True? And oes anyone have any advice, because I just want to get some of the different themes and applications not allowed without jailbreaking. Also, does anyone know if you have to pay for a lot of the applications from cydia, or offline? Thanks

  • all apps on cydia are free and there is no chance in bricking your iphone because any step in the process you can stop and restore so go ahead and jailbreak it but just to be safe make sure you are doing the right generation

    ps if you get a white screen in the middle of the jailbreaking this does not mean it is bricked it is just stopped by apple if this happens restore then try again with diferent jailbreaking proccess

    pss. dont give up it can sometimes be tricky

  • my phone was bricked but. theres away around then

    shut the phone off

    then open itunes

    then promptly hold the home button and it should read the phone

    it worked

  • ocasionally there might be a time that it will brick. It happened to me. But thats all fixed with a restore

  • Is this the same process with the 2nd gen. iTouch as well?

  • i cant pwnage tool? also will i lose my insurence?

    and if i get insurence will that still cover any damage if jailbroken?

  • apple will not replace any device if you damage it during the jailbreaking process. Jailbreak at your own risk THNX ;)

  • i have a problem ,it wont let me plug anything usb up..

  • read the instructions in the description near the bottom it explains it all

  • i see you wrote this.

    Download the disk image IOUSBFamily-327.4.0-log.dmg for Mac OS X 10.5.6 Build 9G55

    Intall IOUSBFamily-327.4.0.pkg from within the disk image

  • why does my ipod when i click opt and restore it says error 21 could not restore?

  • try to redo the process again i had to redo it 2 times before it worked for me

  • what app do you use for your cursor?

  • its an option that i have in my screen recording program "Screenium"

  • why did we need to download the Mobile Installation file?

  • you need to download it for when you SSH into your device i have no idea why the link is in this video :P lol

  • The pwnage tool is good, beacause if you screw up on 3.0. You dont have to jailbreak all over again when you downgrade to 2.2.1

  • thats correct

  • this is really making me mad! once i hold alt and hit the restore then click the firmware to restore it with. it says error (21) We were not able to restore the iTouch and i have NO CLUE what it means someone please help me it feels like ive tried everything.

  • I downloaded the "FIX FOR MAC OS X 10.5.6" "IOUSBFamily-315.4.1-log"

    And it worked, I did jailbrake my iPhone BUT, I can't use any usb device on my iMac anymore.

    If I put anything beside my iphone my iMac kind of "freezes" and ask me to shut my imac down by holding the power button till it shut it.

    So, what should I do now? =/

  • i second that, i barely noticed this yesterday, when trying to hook up my camera it goes into a black screen and says i have to restart, also when i turn my mac on its just a gray screen, i have to press option and hold to get it started. any help?

  • I have the same issue...I fuckin hate it!

  • dude youre freakin awesome. the other videos lost me. two thumbs up

  • thnx appreciate it

  • and how do you film your desktop like this?

  • its a program called Screenium its not free but its awsome

  • how do you get your cursor to do that when you click?

  • its an option in the screen recording program that i use. The program is called screenium

  • Hey Got0Apple87. It worked thanks. I'm a subscriber but I have an issue. My T-mobile sim card does not work with the 2.2.1 software. Do you know of any way I can go back to the 2.2 firmware?

  • yep there is a way, its called downgrading. What you have to do is just google "ipod touch 2.2 firmware or something like that and download it. After you download restore the ipod with that firmware. to do that, hold down the option key when pressing restore in itunes and direct it to the firmware (the 2.2 firmware that you downloaded)

  • Hi i have a question: I bought the legit itouch update(2.2.1) and right now i have 1.1.5 and for some reason i get the error (14) i restored it but i cant update it. Whats wrong w/ my itouch? -.-

  • its probably the new i touch, in that case ill be making a video soon on how to jailbreak the new one. Its a different process, well kinda

  • yea it is i bought it off on craiglist. thx

  • god ur fag, this tutorial sux, it completely shuts down the phones, suck my dick asshole

  • lol bro i dunno bro it worked for many people and it seems like ur the only fucking one with a problem. Not my fault if your hands grow out of ur ass or your just simply retarded, but it works for everyone else. so stfu

  • mine says error after i restored it with the custom restore

  • make sure you have the latest version of itunes and that you are all ready running a legit version of the 2.2.1 firmware before you begin

  • i downloaded the DFU fix, restarted, and now I only get the "you need to restart your computer" message.  What should I do?

  • I had the exact same problem. Every time I restarted I got a grey screen that said to restart in 4 languages, couldn't go any further. I called apple, they called it a Kernel Failure, which is pretty bad. It's looking like I'll have to do a full reinstall

  • it sucks but sometimes that just happens and there is not much you can do besides reinstalling it all

  • try to restart it again see if that helps if not try turning it off and then back on again

  • Uhh...Will this jail brekaing process wipe all my songs?

  • yea it will, but why do you care just upload them from itunes again after

  • Thanks so much dude. I have tried endless ways to try and jailbreak the ipod on my mac but they never work. I've always had to go to my friend's house cause he had a windows. Thanks.

  • btw, how do u make the circle appearance on the cursor when u click the mouse?

    thank you very much

  • its an option in the screen capturing program that i use. Watch my video on it i explain it all there.

  • great vid but when it says quickpwn is about to load onto your ipod the blue loading bar doesnt load and it just says it loading but it really isnt, can you please get back to me!!!

  • try using pwnage tool instead of quickpwn

  • Comment removed

  • I downloaded the DFU fix and now everytime I plug in my external my computer freezes up and it asks me to reboot....what should I do?

  • geez thats a tough one......To be honest i have to idea, i have an external and nothing like that happened to me before. The only thing that i could think of is running in through the ROOT account, you can do that by typing in root for user name and entering your regular password. If that doesn't work than i have no clue. Sry

  • can u get back to me please

  • Like i said to many people before, this process is not error proof that means that there are bugs that sometimes cause errors to pop up. What you need to do is try to redo the jailbreak.

  • i also got  error 21 when restoring it what can i do?

  • good video, thank you

  • when I jail broke got error 21 when restoring

  • like i mentioned before there could be some bugs so try re doing the jail breaking process

  • thank you!

  • it could be a bug, try jailbreaking the device again. Also don't use the custom boot logos like the pineapple and so forth.

  • sorry, i guess it was something else, because i tried it again(after a time machine back-up) and it worked fine. now im jailbroken thanks

  • np glad to know it worked

  • Hey why won't it work if it's not unlocked?? I really want to jailbreak my phone but I don't think it is unlocked??

  • if your phone is not unlocked you have to use quickpwn not pwnage tool. At least thats what i did and it worked for me.

  • Ok cool, I'll try that and let you know how it works. And thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

  • is there any way to jailbreak 3g 2.2.1 software

  • what exactly is the mobile installation file for?

  • it's for when you SSH into your device. Watch my video on how to SSH.

  • what is the filmware for itouch

  • yo bro is there a major risk in doing this? How many people have messed up their Iphone doing this?

  • honestly i have done it numerous times and nothing ever went wrong. Im sure that there were some people that had problems but not that i know of.

  • Hey my frimware files will not mount can you help me?

  • did you download the firmware from the links that I provided?

  • yes

  • make sure that you are running the latest version of itunes and make sure that you have downloaded the right firmware for your device. Other than that it could pottentially be a bug, so try doing it a few times over.

  • Thanks!! Where did you get the desktop background?

  • The desktop background is called earthdesk its an application you can google it. You have to pay for it though

  • Thanks so much, Great video!!

  • this is so helpful!

    Thank you sooooo much !!

  • no problem, glad to know it worked

  • Hey man, your right, i guess it depends on persons situation. But damn, why so much stuff. I understand though. People do encounter that.

  • alright thanks man. where did you get that desktop background?

  • When i clicked the link to install the fix and made an account, it brings me to the page where i can only download the IOUSBFamily-315.4.1

    Is this the fix?

  • You have to make an account on the website

    if you didn't do that you have to

  • hey. so i basically did everything with my itouch 1st gen 2.2.1 and wen i tried to restore it, thre was an error message 21 wen i tried to restore the itouch with the custom firmware dat pwnage tool downloaded.help!?

  • Ok first of all make sure that you are already running 2.2.1 before you begin the jail-breaking process. Also make sure that you have installed the fix and RESTARTED your computer. Also you have to have the latest version of iTunes. Other than that there are some glitches from time to time so try redoing the process.

  • abot lol canadian eah?

  • canadian that's right lol

  • if i downloaded the 2g ipod firmware from the last link in the description, and im using a touch, thats still ok right? if thats really bad i need to know asap cuz im doing it now....

  • what ipod touch do you have ? 2nd gen (the newest one) or the older one?

  • This is what you should do. Download all the stuff that i have in my description so the firmware and the fix and everything instal that and follow my video exactly. Doesn't matter if you have the firmware or w.e download mine and redo the process. BUT if you are running 10.5.6 version of your operating system, download and install the fix FIRST before doing anything

  • i just made a video on all my problems. its a first gen if you didnt get my comment before this (it wont show up on my safari that i sent it) but im posting the video to your a vid reply asap. it might take like 10 mins but please watch it as soon as you get it and comment to respond to it. thanks!

  • Hey guys, nothing wrong with this video, just weird that he says all this stuff about DFU mode. You dont need all of that. I am using 3G on 2.2.1 but maybe some people need it. I dont know.

  • Not all people need the fix and all that stuff. Some people do, i presonally did so thats why its there

  • Comment removed

  • i need help i tried to jailbreak my phone and it worked until it restarted it froze on the pineapple plz help

  • try to not use the custom pineapple logo. When you are using pwnage tool it will ask you whether you want to use the pineapple logo and so on. If you are still having problems make sure you have the latest version of itunes and try to redo the process. Make sure you have the fix installed before attempting to jailbreak.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Hey, just to be sure, what computer do you have, mac or windows? If you have mac, make sure its under 1.5.6 if not it wnt work. If you do have 10.5.6 or more, just archive your mac. I need to figure out one more detail on that, but you can bring it back down to version 10.5.4

  • Comment removed

  • to be honest i dont know what to tell ya, this process has worked for me and many other people so no idea whats wrong there. But like i said before there could be the occasional glitch so try to re-do the process and see if that helps

  • did you download and install the fix ? if you didin't thats the reason why it gives you an error if you did then carefully try to redo everything sometimes there are glitches

  • I got it now. When I was listening to your video I thought you said it will only work if your phone is "not" unlocked. So I just had to use QuickPwn which worked great. After reading around I think this is the exact reason most people have trouble jailbreaking. IF YOUR PHONE IS LOCKED USE QUICKPWN. IF YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED USE PWNAGE TOOL and Got0Apple87's video tutorial. Thanks for the good video, even though I ended up using something else.

  • Sry about the misunderstanding im happy that everything worked out for you. Thnx

  • Comment removed

  • OMG

    THANK YOU SO MUCH

    YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GRATEFUL I AM

    I'VE BEEN TRYING THIS FOR DAYS

    this guy is the shit

  • thnx i try lol

  • I'm confused. It thought the whole purpose of using pwnage tool was to update to 2.21 without updating the baseband. If you go ahead and update to 2.2.1 before using pwnage tool don't you screw yourself over?

  • what do you mean you screw yourself over? in order to jailbreak you have to be running 2.2.1 before using pwnage tool

  • This won't work if I just want to jailbreak, not unlock?

  • I successfully jailbroke without unlocking on Mac using 10.5.6 (with IOUSBFAMILY workaround), Pwnage Tool 2.2.5 and iPhone 3G firmware 2.2.1. I just used simple mode and it worked just fine.

  • im happy to know that it went well

  • Hey 87, Thanks for giving a good vid, i was trying to jailbreak phone for hours and i kept fucking up some how where the att provider would not work, until i found your vid, thanks...i will txt u later on, i could us some help with osx i think u might know how to help.

  • Correct. This process jailbreaks your device ONLY It DOES NOT unlock it

  • ....sry im new to Mac... do you have msn?? can you teach me on there? I jailbreak 1.1.4 before is working.. but when i decided to upgrade to 2.2.1 i can do it.. dont know is my computer problem or what...

  • IOUSBFamily-315.4.1-log (Disk Image) this is one is the i need to download? becoz i read the "read me" they only can use on 10.5.3, 10.5.4 and 10.5.5

  • download the image for 10.5.5

  • Comment removed

  • hello, i update my itouch to 2.2.1 and and download PwnageTool same as yours and the 2.2.1.ipsw, but the third thing i dont know whats that... can you send me a link to me or a name plz

  • well if you are using a mac version 10.5.6 then you need the DFU fix for which the link is in the description but you need to make an account on the website.

  • please rate and leave comments on things that you would want to see changed and also some ideas for upcoming videos Thanks.
