iJailBreak Released!

[AriX]

Hey everyone, just wanted to tell you that I just released iJailBreak at http://code.google.com/p/ijailbreak/...

It's only for Intel and Tiger at the moment, but I'm working on making a PPC version (the binary is universal, but it still won't work on PPC).
Please note that this software is in BETA and if something goes wrong, don't blame me.

Happy JailBreaking! http://ijailbreak.com/

P.S. Yes, I am really 13 ;)

[MiniMan.]

Gonna test this now. Wish Me Luck :)

[bc008]

OH MY GOD

at 1:40 i just started the manual jailbreak, and now im seeing the "scrolly text" looks like i should have waited 3 god dang minutes!

anyways, good luck ;)!

[AriX]

New version is up!

[Bernie-Mac]

so this is an easy gui method for jailbreaking? and does this work for the iphone or just the ipod touch?

[Mitchiee]

Can you make a different version for windows ?

Thanks !

[AriX]

Just the iPod Touch, and yes, this is an easy jailbreak :)

Windows version is already out, look for touchFree.

[AlliPodHax]

could anybody verify that this works, PLEASE!!

Cheers,
Ben.

[MiniMan.]

its still says jailbreaking for me. Anyone else doing this or finished?

Great work, Arix. Haven't tried it out since I've Jailbreaked already but this will help a lot of people out.

[AriX]

That step takes a while....

Yeah...not feeling that method ill just wait for apptapp thanks tho

[psychofreak]

Congratulations AriX...I don't have an iPod touch (and won't for at least a few months) but having a simple method to add apps to it will be awesome :)

[FunkyMonkey]

Could someone who has done this post a pic of their home screen? Much appreciated.

[thenewkasanova]

You are my hero! I can't believe you are my age. I am getting my iPod touch on friday, for my 14th birthday, though. I can't wait to try this out! Thank you!

[MiniMan.]

2 things.

my internet isnt workin so will have to wait.

Also is jailbreaking illegal manualy and automaticaly.??

[akonradi]

Thanks for your hard work. You're going to help a lot of people.

[psychofreak]

Anyone else see the next DVD Jon...congratulations on attaining such an achievement at such a young age :)

[G5Unit]

Is there any easy way for PPC users to jailbrake the ipod without using terminal?

Anyways, good luck on getting the PPC version working!

[Xavier]

I am currently jailbreaking my touch, but I am stuck on the apple logo after restarting the ipod.

IS that supposed to take long?

[james6000]

Thanks. I'm trying it out now. I was close to try doing it manually this weekend until I saw your thread.

Jailbreaking touch now....

[MiniMan.]

everything has gone well. :) but i really want the mail.app and dont know how 2 get it?

any help?

thanks

[AriX]

It's not illegal, but it probably voids your warranty (just restore it and Apple won't know :P)

btw thanks for the support guys :D

COMPLETED!!

Thanks so much. Was absolutely painless. Most difficult part was just restarting the ipod a few times:rolleyes:

[viccles]

I couldn't get it to download. Says something about formatting error?

[MiniMan.]

how do i connect to the ipod touch cas i have some files i wanna put in applications?

Do i use cyberduck if so. HOW?

Thanks

Look online for tutorials... Just about everything that will work on the iPhone works on the touch, aside from the jailbreak process itself.

[Demoris]

I couldn't get it to download. Says something about formatting error?

Same issue.

[adiemask]

Kudos :D

It works! now for Iphone apps.......

[AriX]

Same issue.

Where does it say this?

[Demoris]

Where does it say this?

When extracting the zip file.

[Demoris]

I think its an error with stuffit expander, seems to work fine with other programs.

[AriX]

When extracting the zip file.

Try extracting it with a different program... People are having trouble with some.

[Zwhaler]

I am still re-syncing my iPod, I will post my results though!

[Bluee]

I know this sound stupid.. even very stupid

But where do I put the iJailBreak? :/

What do I need to do first? Crash Safari..?

[AriX]

Put the folder in your Applications folder, then go into the folder and double click the app. It will walk you through the entire thing.

Thanks!

Actually tried that 2 times but it still said that I should put it in the applications folder. I went to your site and downloaded the updated version! Now it worked for me! :)

[ddk121]

Does it now work for iPhone apps?

[iNeurox]

Wow ! I will likely receive my iPod this week and I want to Jailbreak it but I'm not really good at commands in the Terminal, etc... I was looking forward something like this ! Since Friday I was eagerly awaiting your iJailBreak and it came out ! :) I downloaded iJailbreak (and all the other stuff from the manual jailbreaking, just in case) and you can be sure I'm gonna jailbreak my iTouch with your app !

You're 13 and you're able to make all this. I'm 15, and I'm not that good. Great job, AriX ! ;)

Thanks !

Eager to get iJailBreak going, but as soon as I start it up I get an error message:

AppleScript Error

Mkdir: /opt: File Exists (1)


Thoughts on what this means, what I should do?

Thanks.

[bc008]

on average, should this take more or less than an hour?

[Xavier]

Someone has started and finished in this thread already. I quit it because it was taking way to long. And now my ipod is stuck on the apple logo. It will turn off and then back on to the apple logo.

What should I do?

[Demoris]

on average, should this take more or less than an hour?

Far less.

I just used this method, took less than 10 minutes.

[bc008]

Far less.

I just used this method, took less than 10 minutes.

my touch has been jailbreaking for about 50 minutes?

Hmm... Open Terminal, and do sudo mkdir /opt/local, then sudo mkdir /opt/local/lib, then sudo cp /Applications/iJailBreak/resources/readline/libreadline.5.2.dylib /opt/local/lib/

That may give some errors, but it'll probably work... Once you've done that run the jailbreak again.

[Bluee]

Worked! :D

Really fast! :)

[viccles]

I'll have to give it a try when I get home tonight. I'd love to have a mail, chat and calandar you can edit but I'm so scared of trying to jailbreak it...I'm not so good at these sort of things :o

[AriX]

Someone has started and finished in this thread already. I quit it because it was taking way to long. And now my ipod is stuck on the apple logo. It will turn off and then back on to the apple logo.

What should I do?

Connect your iPod and hold down the SLEEP/WAKE and HOME buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Once it does, release the SLEEP/WAKE button but continue to hold the HOME button in. After a short while, iTunes will notify you that the iPod has entered recovery mode and can now be restored. Accept it, and click Restore.

my touch has been jailbreaking for about 50 minutes?
what should i do?

Follow the instructions above to restore, then try again...

[Nayrb]

Now that was the painless way I've been looking for, only problem is my dock is now at the top of the screen...

[AriX]

Now that was the painless way I've been looking for, only problem is my dock is now at the top of the screen...

Go into Installer.app and uninstall SummerBoard.

[akonradi]

[scoot87]

I keep getting the

even after putting into applications folder twice. I downloaded the updated ijailbreak zip file too. Help please. thanks

[Zwhaler]

When I clicked "jailbreak" it gave me a script error, and now it has been "Installing iPhuc and readline" for about 20 minutes. Is this normal?

[JohnR]

Please get a PPC version out soon!

ok, now on for the dumb question. I decided to get an iPod Touch this week. What does jailbreak do or what can I do with the Touch once I jailbreak it?

For the longest time I thought jailbreak was a game. :o

Thank you! Its working. I will try to jailbreak again in a few

[AriX]

Please post the script error... This is not normal at all (when you get a script error, it didn't work no matter what...)

[ThreeOhTwoLX]

after i crash safari, and click ok, i get this error:

sh: line 1: ./iphuc: cannot execute binary file (126)

[AriX]

after i crash safari, and click ok, i get this error:

sh: line 1: ./iphuc: cannot execute binary file (126)

You're probably on PowerPC.

[bc008]

well, i went to the safari url, connected, and got some sort of error, couldnt read it because it dissappeared. it is now jailbreaking, whas it a real error? i guess ill let it jailbreak for 15 minutes and see if it does anything..

[Zwhaler]

Please post the script error... This is not normal at all (when you get a script error, it didn't work no matter what...)

You're 13 and you're able to make all this. I'm 15, and I'm not that good. Great job, AriX ! ;)

Same here, except I'm 16 :p

BTW, does this also installs Installer.app/Trip1PogoStick on on the touch or do I have to do it manually? (Sorry I haven't got my touch yet - it's supposed to arrive by Tuesday:o)

Cheers:)

[ThreeOhTwoLX]

i am, this wont work for me? If not, what are my options?

[akonradi]

i am, this wont work for me? If not, what are my options?
As of right now, it doesn't work on PPC macs even though it is a Universal Binary. It should be working in a future release.

[tangent7]

ok im not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but any help would be appreciated.

I got jailbreak to work.. GREAT and thanks for ijailbreak.

I want to load a new summerboard and I have NO idea how, lol. Ive installed it on my ipod, ive downloaded the new theme. Can someone tell me what I should do now? I have to get it on the ipod

Try searching the forums. There are countless posts on this and there's no reason to hijack a thread.

[james6000]

Hey AriX, hope you don't mind me submitting your work to digg!

To all you out there who want to make his work known, digg his story here:

Yep, it will do both of those automatically :)

[Gerard.]

i wasnt sure weather to jailbrake or not. but seeing theres now a prog, im going to give it a shot when i get my touch! thanks for the prog dude.

[Gironimo]

Hmm... Open Terminal, and do sudo mkdir /opt/local, then sudo mkdir /opt/local/lib, then sudo cp /Applications/iJailBreak/resources/readline/libreadline.5.2.dylib /opt/local/lib/

That may give some errors, but it'll probably work... Once you've done that run the jailbreak again.

This don´t work, I still get the error
AppleScript Error
mkdir: /opt: File exists (1)

What should I do?

[AriX]

This don´t work, I still get the error
AppleScript Error
mkdir: /opt: File exists (1)

Go into the Terminal and do sudo mv /opt /optold.

Then jailbrake, and once it's done, go back into the Terminal and do sudo rm /opt && sudo mv /optold /opt

That should do it.

[typerlover]

Got through the Jailbreak part. It said turn off and then turn back on the ipod. Did that. Pushed ok.

Gave me an error that said "iPhuc not found" I have the entire folder in the Applications folder and iPhuc is present in there. It has been sitting on "installing ssh" for a few minutes now.

Extracting your zip gives an error everytime though too.

[Shanesan]

Good job with the Jailbreak AriX. I'm just hoping this won't bark for more requests: "HOW DO I INSTALL PROGZ THAT DUN UZ INSTALLER.APP????"

Ugh.

Anyway, five stars. :)

[slicedbread]

having problems trying to unzip as well.

Using the free stuffit expander.

[typerlover]

I was downloading using firefox and it was giving me problems with the unzip.

Switched over to Safari and it downloaded and extracted just fine. The folder now shows the same image as the touch. I am going to restore, uninstall the old prog, and then try again. Should work this time. Ill let you know.

[Gironimo]

Go into the Terminal and do sudo mv /opt /optold.

Then jailbrake, and once it's done, go back into the Terminal and do sudo rm /opt && sudo mv /optold /opt

That should do it.

That was it, I only need to do to go into Terminal and do sudo mv /opt/optold.
After this it works :)
Thank you man, now I will go to your site and donate for your great work!

[josh17]

how long does the whole jailbreaking process take .... i am at the jailbreaking... this step will take a while, how long is a while?

It worked Perfectly. If anyone is having problems extracting, dont bother because it wont install properly. Make it does that.

that did the trick. thanks.

Is there any chance of this jailbreaking an iPhone running 1.1.1?

You're on the wrong board. :)

[ArmanSLR]

i keep getting put ijailbreak in app folder before installing, i tried 3 times, and have the newest version and i tried those sudo commands too xD what should i do?

[josh17]

i keep getting put ijailbreak in app folder before installing, i tried 3 times, and have the newest version and i tried those sudo commands too xD what should i do?

you have to drag your ijailbreak icon from the desktop into you applications folder then run it from there

[josh17]

does anyone noe how long the whole process takes for it to jailbreak?

[daneoni]

You're on the wrong board. :)

I know its the iTouch forum but was just wondering if by any longshot this would work for the iphone

[ArmanSLR]

that doesnt do anything, i downloaded it, then placed the itouch icon which is the ijailbreak app into my appl folder, doulbe clicked it and nothing happenes, do i have to put that other folder in my appls too or leave it their or leave it on desktop or what?

[akonradi]

There's a folder with an icon for the iPod touch. When you open that, you get another folder and an app (icon is also iPod touch). You have to put the entire folder in the Applications folder, not just the app.

[ArmanSLR]

i only see ijailbreak then i have to click show in finder, then it shows ijailbreak app and a resources folder, i tried putting both of those in my app folder and still get the problem.

[akonradi]

i only see ijailbreak then i have to click show in finder, then it shows ijailbreak app and a resources folder, i tried putting both of those in my app folder and still get the problem.
Hmmm... mine just opens with a double click. They need to be in the same folder. So why not just make a new one and have it in "Applications/iJailbreak" where the new folder is entitled "iJailbreak?"

[skir0987]

For anyone who wants to use SummerBoard: http://www.apptapp.com/summerboard/
Follow the instructions in manual install. Also, I manually jailbreaked my friend's iTouch this morning and installed SummerBoard, and it works perfectly. I still think I should have waited for iJailBreak though... (good job AriX :P )

And @ArmanSLR, I think you need to drag the whole iJailBreak folder into the applications folder, not just the app and resources.

[lozanoj83]

You're a miracle worker.. really
less than 10 minutes, quick and painless other than the estarts and it worked like a charm

okay, well yeah so it works now, had to do as u said and now my ipod touch is connected via usb and i did go to the website, safari crashed, and then it shows jailbreaking and its doing it, is anything supposed to showup on the screen of the ipod touch while this is happeneding?

[anim8or]

Hey AriX nice job,

Once i get my touch i'll be using this asap....

...would it be possible if you could make a nice little instruction pdf or sumfin for everyone on here.

I know i would love a set of how tos/instructions to help out when i finally do this.

Great job!

Nope. Thanks for the support guys!

just got an apple script error saying file/exist or something, but it still is jailbraking is that a problem?

[simoncoul]

Hey just did this took like 15 minutes and it all worked great! I had to do the /opt/local thing to get it to work tho.

Edit: I just did a restore on it and it's back to how it was before the jailbreak! So it seems safe to me!

[ArmanSLR]

anyone know what i should do? i think the applescript error messed it up.

[boonleng]

Just wanted to chime in and applaud the nice work by AriX.

[YEMandy]

Just a n00b question I had before I do this on my iPod Touch this week :

Do I have to go on that site on my iPod that crashes Safari before going through the iJailBreak process ?

I have to, haven't I ?

I think you need to completely restore your iTouch before trying to install... the Installer.app directory is already there which means you have attempted the jailbreak before.

can you tell me about my other error? is that because it was already started hacked? i am almost done with full restore.

Damn that was easy! Thanks so much Arix.

[Zwhaler]

how to I login to my ipod within the terminal?

[tjohansen]

this worked awesome, no problems at all. thanks for coming up with such a great utility!!!

i was also able to get the summerboard alpha working

[ArmanSLR]

did full restore and dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/iJailBreak/resources/iphuc/./iphuc

[ArmanSLR]

now i re did it again and its says installing opt file and iphuc is that right?

[AriX]

can you tell me about my other error? is that because it was already started hacked? i am almost done with full restore.

That error confuses me... Something's messed up.

[ArmanSLR]

got it to work now im at the boot/reboot phase

[Jon99UT]

As soon as I get to the installing SSH step (after the jailbreak and the reboot) I get this error as soon as I click OK:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2132/1572685365_57feb4fa3e_o.jpg

Any thoughts? This the second time I've gotten this error. The first time I did a recovery on the iPod and started the process over and still got the error.

[uburoibob]

Worked seamlessly. Now onto learning how to get the iPhone Apps installed (not to mention the Summerboard alpha...)...

THANK YOU!

:)

[amakadia]

do i just plug in my ipod to my computer and start iJailbreak?

Or do i need to do any thing to my ipod touch before starting iJailbreak, do i need to clear out all my songs/pics/vids or anything?

also, should i close itunes before i start iJailbreak, should i leave it open, or what?

And do i need to navigate to the tiff exploit site on my iPT before i start, or does iJB do that for me?

[chrisisawesome]

so yeah I am most definatly having a major error....so I got it through the first couple of steps and it was installing whatever it was installing...and then it kinda just froze...well it was on that screen for at least an hour to an hour and 15min...so I stopped it and tried starting over....then it stayed on the jailbreaking FOREVER....so I stopped that and was going to do a restore and now it wont even come up on my mac.....at all....or any other computer in the house....it charges and all but wont come up as a ipod to sync....what do I need to do...umm trying to "jail break" again but its taking forever!

[chrisisawesome]

ok so I finally was able to get it to start restoring...I hope this works.....

This worked for me. Fire up spotlight and search for the folder called "opt", then delete it. Run the app again it should work now.

[Jon99UT]

Never mind on my iPhuc error, I got it working.

I found that I had to download the iJailbreak through Safari. Firefox did something to screw up the zip file (indicated by not having the Touch icon as the .zip icon).

[kanekane]

i wanna do mine while listening to AC/DC Jailbreak... is this weird?

[candan9019]

So I installed some iPhone apps and they work fine but when I try to ssh (to change my password) I log in ok except all I get is # for a prompt. No commands like ls or cd work it just says command not found.

Anyone have any idea what's up?

[Steven.nevets]

well, it worked, except that iTunes doesn't see the musics or video on the iPod. Neither does the iPod. But it knows it's on there!!!! I have about 7 gig full, of nothing!

[drj434343]

As soon as I get to the installing SSH step (after the jailbreak and the reboot) I get this error as soon as I click OK:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2132/1572685365_57feb4fa3e_o.jpg

Any thoughts? This the second time I've gotten this error. The first time I did a recovery on the iPod and started the process over and still got the error.

I get that error message too. Arix, do you have a suggestion? I've tried it 4 times, fully restoring and starting from scratch each time.

[appleguru1]

Just made a version of iJailBreak with the ppc version of iphuc... if anyone wants to try it, you can download it here:

http://www.appleguru.org/iJailBreak.0.2.1.ppc.zip

I don't have a ppc mac or a touch, so I can't test it, but it should work.

[tm1000]

Let me first state I already had 9gb of music/videos on my ipod touch.

After I ran this (and it worked) all of my music on my ipod disappeared along with my videos. But iTunes reports there is 9gb of "other" data.

It's Strange.

I will just wipe it clean, restore and redo the jailbreak and reload my videos and music.

Not a big deal.

Good job dude!

[tm1000]

I get that error message too. Arix, do you have a suggestion? I've tried it 4 times, fully restoring and starting from scratch each time.

did you drag the iJailbreak folder to the applications directory?

[igw]

So if you use this iJailbreak, how much space do all the iphone apps and ijailbreak stuff take up on the iPod Touch? How do you revert the ipod touch to factory settings (unjailbreak) after jailbeaking?

hold down the SLEEP/WAKE button along with the HOME button until the apple logo shows up then release the SLEEP/WAKE button while still holding the HOME button. iTunes will then say you need to restore.

[igw]

So is it clear whether this voids the warranty.

[tm1000]

so can someone explain why in Installer.app it says I have 54mb left?

If you do a restore there is no possible way they can tell (apple)

[wanderinghomw]

Someone has started and finished in this thread already. I quit it because it was taking way to long. And now my ipod is stuck on the apple logo. It will turn off and then back on to the apple logo.

What should I do?


I'm having the same problem. After turning it off and rebooting it it's never 'fully on' as iJailbreak says it should be before I click ok. It loads to the apple for like 5-10 minutes, then reboots again to the apple, then freezes on the apple WITH the little circular 'loading' icon overlaid over it. It's rebooted a few times now, and I've left it for almost 20 minutes, and nothing has happened. it will not 'fully' boot up.

The first time I quit it and restored it in itunes, but the same thing is happening again. in fact, this is the fourth time I've got to this point, and it will not boot past the apple logo.

Any ideas????

Assuming the 'build' I made works (and I don't see why it wouldn't...) then you need to simply download this:

Then copy the unzipped folder to your applications folder and run iJailBreak. The application will guide you through the rest.

You are supposed to connect the iPod after you navigate to jailbreak.toc2rta.com on the iphone and safari crashes.

So... When you open iJailBreak and click Jailbreak, the main window will change to "Jailbreaking... This will take a while". Then you should get a popup that says:

"Press OK to start the JailBreak process" (iPod not connected...)

Followed by one that says:

"First, on your iPod, navigate to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/. Once Safari crashes, connect your iPod and press OK." (This is where you connect your iPod to your mac)

[appleguru1]

Success. Now, how do I get games in the NES emulator, and more important how do I get "mail"?

To copy roms over for NES, use the installer application to install "Community Sources"

This will give you a lot more apps to choose from.. Then install "OpenSSH"

Then, on your mac, use an FTP client (like transmit) to connect to your iPhone (your mac and iphone need to be on the same wireless network...) via SFTP.

The user name is root and the password is dottie.

Once you SFTP in, just drag the roms to /private/var/root/Media/ROMs/NES/

(You'll need to make the roms and nes directories).

That's it!

As for mail, read up here:

http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/Enable_iPod_Touch/iPhone_Applications

...for mail, you need to install GMM.framework into /System/Library/Frameworks and MobileMailSettings.bundle in the /System/Library/PreferenceBundles/ (and MobileMail.app in /Applications of course... Make sure you get the 1.1.1 versions!)

The only thing I can think of for those of you getting this error is that you don't have the BSD subsystem installed... but I really don't know. The code is pretty simple; Arix is just CD'ing into the directory and executing the file...

Well, it's failing on the command:

hdiutil attach /Applications/iJailBreak/resources/iphuc/iphonefs/rdisk0s1.dmg -mount required

(That shouldn't mean much to you, but it is trying to mount the DMG it pulled off of your ipod's ramdisk..)

In any case, do me a favor and navigate to the /Applications/iJailBreak/resources/iphuc/iphonefs/ folder on your computer and tell me if there is anything in it (Should be rdisk0s1 OR rdisk0s1.dmg... Make sure you get info on the file if its there so you can report the filesize and extension).

That's how much space Installer.app has to install any additional apps you download through it. There is a method to increase/eliminate this cap.

Yes, that tells me that iphuc isn't actually getting an image off of your iphone... hrm :/

For the sake of you actually getting anything done I'd recommend restoring and doing the manual process... If you're not scared of the terminal it's really pretty simple and you get a much better indication of what's going wrong and when.

That being said, this automated process really *should* work... Arix's AppleScript code is really not all that complicated:

Hi, hoping someone can help me...

I downloaded ijailbreak 0.2.1 and when i run it i get an applescript error:

mv: rename /Applications/ijailbreak/resources/iphuc/iphonefs/rdisk0s1 to /Applications/ijailbreak/resources/iphuc/iphonefs/rdisk0s1.dmg: No such file or directory (1)

My understanding is that there should be a file in the iphonefs folder called rdisk0s1 which i then need to add the extension .dmg, however the iphonefs folder is completely empty.

Where can i find this file?? Thanks

I would close it. I did mine with it open, and while there were no problems per se, I did have to completely re-sync my iPod afterwards as iTunes seemed to think it was a new iPod.

I think about halfway through the process it makes some fundamental changes, and if iTunes is open it catches it on a reboot, and thinks it's a new iPod, when the process finished it's al back to normal, but iTunes still wants to start again.

dos it matter if the touch is connected to iTunes when performing the jailbreak?

EDIT: Doh! Answer is right above this post!

How long should the initial "jailbreaking...." take? Mine is running, nothing seems to happen on the touch. And it has been like this for maybe close to 5 minutes already.

EDIT 2: Phew, proceeding finally....

AriX,

It is amazing to me that you were able to do this in just 9 hours and WITHOUT an iPod Touch to help you. That's phenomenal! I am willing to purchase an iPod Touch for you and have it delivered to your home. If you are interested, send me an e-mail. I just think that such genius should be rewarded. A very fine job, young man. You are the future. I congratulate you and wish you great success in your future endeavors.

I guess I have a few questions:

One, I panicked a bit and restored my iPod just to make sure i could, and no problem.

So I'm starting again, and as I am about to start the jailbreak, I get an AppleScript error that reads:

"mkdir: /opt: File exists (1)"

I then click ok, and it says installing iPhuc and Readline and it stays that way for a good long time. Is it still working if that screen is showing?

Alternatively, I want to start fresh like I did the very first time, if the file already exists, how can I go about deleting it so I can install properly??

well after some tinkering about and hours of hopelessness the one you posted for PowerPC seemed to work up to the SSH point. i do not know how or why but eventually after 3 restores and multiple headaches it has gotten to a point where it copies the rdisk0s1 with no problem makes it a dmg then has you restart the ipod for the next step.

also i may be delirious but i believe at this point if i am not mistaken the ipod touch is jailbroken.

so this is what it is stuck at now .

any thought would be again greatly appreciated BTW i am still using my PowerPC mac mini

Hi,

Ok, I tried to the PPC iJailbreak, unfortunately I got stuck at the same part that babi did with the error

sh: line 1: ./iphuc: No such file or directory (127)

Where there any suggestions to resolving this. I downloaded it on Safari, but I downloaded the PPC version from an Intel Mac, then put it on a pend drive and took it home to my PPC G5 at home.

Currently I am restoring it, odly enough it didnt completely break, just showed my Ipod as having 300MB space and I could just restore it through Itunes normally. Will see if this works, if not I will try and do the force restore by holding down buttons etc...

Has anyone had any success with the PPC version yet?

Thanks to all the people involved in this, AriX and appleguru1 especially.

Cheers

[icopeling]

how do i delete the /opt directory??

I think I figured it out. Thanks.

Ok, tried it again... this time im getting the same error message as onibakushinka...

If it has indeed done all of that then it is *almost* jailbroken... all it needs to do next is copy over the modified fstab to the image it pulled off the iPod, then put that image back on the iPod before it can start installing things.

If you get it to the point where iTunes is showing the fs as 300MB then it is *completely* jailbroken, and all that is left to do is install ssh/sftp, installer.app, trip1pogostick, and a modified M68AP.plist... then put the filesystem back to normal and its done.

Looks like this one was my fault though, I replaced the iphuc in the iphuc folder with the ppc version... but not the one in the ssh folder 8)

I'm having the same problem. After turning it off and rebooting it it's never 'fully on' as iJailbreak says it should be before I click ok. It loads to the apple for like 5-10 minutes, then reboots again to the apple, then freezes on the apple WITH the little circular 'loading' icon overlaid over it. It's rebooted a few times now, and I've left it for almost 20 minutes, and nothing has happened. it will not 'fully' boot up.

The first time I quit it and restored it in itunes, but the same thing is happening again. in fact, this is the fourth time I've got to this point, and it will not boot past the apple logo.

Any ideas????

Does ANYONE know how to fix this problem? At this point I've given up on the idea since it seems hopeless on my imac. I have a PC at work I could try it on, but from reading the PC thread on gizmodo that looks WAY more buggy than the mac version.

Please help, anyone!!!

P.S. after I turn the ipod off with the red slider and turn it back on itunes opens thinking there is a new, unknown ipod connected. I quit it immediately, but is this the problem? I can quit the program in activity monitor, but won't it just boot back up when the ipod is connected? it wasn't open before either.

Ok, tried it again... this time im getting the same error message as onibakushinka...

sh: line 1: ./iphuc: cannot execute binary file (126)

Gonna restore it again now...

If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Try re-doing it with this new version here: http://www.appleguru.org/iJailBreak.0.2.1.ppc.r2.zip

[onibakushinka]

If it has indeed done all of that then it is *almost* jailbroken... all it needs to do next is copy over the modified fstab to the image it pulled off the iPod, then put that image back on the iPod before it can start installing things.

If you get it to the point where iTunes is showing the fs as 300MB then it is *completely* jailbroken, and all that is left to do is install ssh/sftp, installer.app, trip1pogostick, and a modified M68AP.plist... then put the filesystem back to normal and its done.

Looks like this one was my fault though, I replaced the iphuc in the iphuc folder with the ppc version... but not the one in the ssh folder 8)

Give this version a shot: http://www.appleguru.org/iJailBreak.0.2.1.ppc.r2.zip



well it was jail broken and oddly enough.. but i manually did the rest and it worked fine.


since you made the new one i will go ahead and restore my hacked ipod touch and try it out to see if this version works :) bb in a bit

Cant thank you and AriX enough!!!

You're nuts :P

Let me know how it goes!

[nongdao23]

Hi all,

just downloaded the jailbreak newest version, but it's not working at all for me. It wont open with the installer, says it's not supported on my system even though i have Macbook Pro 2.16GHz intel duo. I put all into my apps folder but jailbreak doesn't seem to realise it's there as it keeps asking me to copy into app folder!

any theories appreciated!!? help!

[onibakushinka]

Happy to report it works without a hitch

this is on a 16gb ipod touch on a PowerPC mac mini

thanyou appleguru1 for your modified PowerPC version and to AriX for his awesome program


You're nuts :P

Let me know how it goes!

haha i sleep now :)

new version here: http://www.appleguru.org/iJailBreak.0.2.1.ppc.r2.zip above link is for POWERPC macs

[dagored]

OK, it is sitting in my Apps folder. What can I expect when it is finished? What I mean: Do I need to add apps to it after it is broken? Is there any other hacking to do?

[MacButter]

Does the PowerPC version cause you to loose music/video on your iPod? I did it manually a few days ago and lost everything. I assume no from the other posts. In essence, when you sync to iTunes, does it show the capacity of your iPod and contents or does it remain at 300mb?

Thanks to everyone working on this. I have no idea what I'm doing and appreciate everything! Great job

It shouldn't... if all goes well, when the jailbreak is done it should restore the filesystem to the way it was before it started...

[MacButter]

Thanks a ton, I'm going to give it a shot!

[deadfrog]

ok, so I now have all iPhone apps working...

Installed the nes emulator, just need to find some roms, cant think that will be a problem...

This is amazing... Let's just hope apple doesnt add an update thats gonna make it worth breaking it.

And on that note, I have LittleSnitch installed so that I can tell if iTunes wants to connect to the interenet, im presuming that as long as i deny its permission I should be ok with using iTunes even after a "update" is released?

Thanks once again!

iTunes will never install an update without you telling it to (It will inform you when one is available and give you the option of downloading and not installing, installing, or ignoring).

And before updating it is important to restore first, just in case right?

[deadfrog]

ok, thanks... will keep that all in mind...

I feel more excited now, then when i got the touch in the first place! :)

I think im a bit sad really, oh well, sad but happy!

Cheers

[hommy]

I'm trying to jailbreak my touch using iJailBreak. I've restored the ipod to start from scratch. At the step where I'm told to power-off using the slider and restart, the touch is stuck on the apple logo. Occasionally, the timer dial (like when powering off) appears under the logo. It will flash off and restart to the same screen over and over. Any idea what that is all about??

Hey guys,

Thanks for covering support while I was at school/doing homework. Tonight I will release 0.3 with iPhone apps and powerpc support among other things.

Thanks once again for putting your time into this. You're helping a lot of people. Just don't neglect your schoolwork for the application.

Just posting to say thanks for ijailbreak. Looking forward to the iPhone apps. iPhone without the phone :-)

Just to add to what other people say, Don't let this hacking stuff get in the way of your school work, we can all wait, school can't LOL

Thanks again
Craig

[bwanac]

Nicework... too busy now with midterms to play with more apps... but it is jailbroken and ready for them whenever get around to it!

ooo i was gonna just gonna jailbreak my touch now but i think ill wait just for the iphone apps. I really have no idea when it comes to terminal!

[kingkevz]

make sure your ipod is NOT LOCKED!

set the slide lock to NEVER

[kingkevz]

seems as if when u install summerboard, everything gets docked to the top, i dont know why, any ideas on how to help?:confused:

[AriX]

Hey guys,

I'm really sorry about this, but 0.3 is going to be pushed back until tomorrow night. I had too much homework to finish it up. The good news is that I have fixed several major bugs, and you don't even need to put it in your applications folder to have it work anymore. I also am pretty sure I've gotten iPhone apps working.

AriX - Congratulations on the great work. You totally deserve your new found success and popularity. You are on news everywhere!

I was going to jailbreak my touch tonight, but i will wait till tomorrow to install the iPhone apps along with the jailbreak.

Also, i think i saw your video on youtube. I would like to know how you changed the icons on your dock and stuff using an Intel Mac.

I would encourage you to put up a FAQ / How-To guide on your website.

Good luck.

[aki]

Look how about you post your homework here and let us do it for you, then you can get busy with .3 :D

[kingkevz]

as soon as i install summerboard, it will make the disconnect noise (beep?), then my bottom dock goes to the top, and i cant move it.

any ideas?

everything else works.

well, ivibe doesnt work for me.

please respond!

[appleguru1]

Uninstall summerboard in installer.app and install the latest beta for 1.1.1 from here:

http://www.apptapp.com/summerboard/

If you do want to try out the latest beta, MAKE SURE you chmod 755 every file/folder you copy over.

[leckie]

Great work, can't wait to get my hands on the automated iPhone apps installer.

[madmaxmedia]

Great work! I jailbroke my Touch last night, it was a piece of cake.

Thanks!! :)

[sammyAD]

A little late here but just throwing in my thanks, great work on the app dude.

[DenniZ]

Great work! I jailbroke my Touch last night, it was a piece of cake.

Thanks!! :)

yup same here !, it even worked even though i synced my music first the jailbreak went flawlessly ( although i recommend ending the ituneshelper process in the activity monitor.)

great work !

[chrismarks]

Cant wait for the iphone apps. Your jailbreak was a breeze congats. many people owe you a ton for your help:apple:

[Ronnoco]

Thank you all so much...the PPC iJailbreak GUI worked perfectly...you guys are amazing...can't wait for the iPhone Apps...
Again can't thank you all enough for your kindness, the time and effort you put into this, your willingness to help and your extreme patients with those of us that are technically challenged...;)

[Etowahlax14]

I'll wait for .3 too!!!! But can you only install all of the apps or can you pick which ones you want to install? I only want Notes and Mail. not weather or stocks or maps!!!

[akonradi]

im wondering about jailbreaking my ipod touch, and i heard some people talking about how the jailbreak would void my warranty, and i dont want to do that. . . is ther a loophole?
Thanks!

It technically does while it is done but you can just restore the iPod Touch and your warranty is now ok again.

[wkboarder56]

I keep getting an Applescript error when i begin to jailbreak my ipod touch (before the touch is conected to my computer) does anyone have an idea for why this might happen? Pleas help!

[spykedmartini]

are you sure, i dont want to risk it, is your waranty still intact?

[Etowahlax14]

Does iJailbreak also fix the iTunes sync problem? Or do you have to manually change the names?

[Ronnoco]

are you sure, i dont want to risk it, is your waranty still intact?

I jailbroke my Touch and then restored it to factory already and it works flawlessly...restore literally erases all the firmware and software and puts the original firmware/software back on your iPod...just like new :D

[Cormier6083]

Any love for Windows anytime soon? :D

1. There's already a Windows program
2. The site is called MACrumors for a reason... People here tend to use them.

Check the previous pages of this thread, you will find instructions on moving the directory that already exists. Or you can wait for iJailBreak 0.3 where that bug is apparently fixed.

[P-Worm]

but after you restore it, its still jailbroken? and you still have your warranty?

No. After you restore your iPod, the iPod will be the same as if you pulled it fresh out of the box. That is why you warranty stays in tact because to Apple, absolutely nothing has changed.

P-Worm

PS thank you again for your work. You have made a lot of happy people.

so you can jailbreak it, use 3rd party apps, then if theres a problem you can restore it and the warranty will be good?
