Dont get too excited, 1.1.3 Jailbreak requires a HARDWARE MOD

Stop believing everything you hear. That is FALSE. The touchdev team even posted that it DOES NOT require anything to mod with hardware. They would know, they are the ones that jailbroke it. Stop spreading rumors, that site you are linking to is starting rumors, it is FALSE.
Bitter.
It is not at all stupid, possibly by modifying the hardware they are putting the ipod into a sort of service mode like what you have to do with the PSP slim. Now what will be the real challenge and future of Ipod Touch hacking will be custom firmwares in my opinion just like what has happened with the PSP. They allow access to every homebrew feature you could want and the new updates from apple.
If you think that it is unacceptable, maybe you should go find a better way to do it. Face it, hacking is difficult. These people are trying to help you. Nobody requires them to do it for free.
what are you talking about? putting a psp slim or fat into service mode NEVER required a hardware mod
A hardware mod ?!! Now that's not what a girl can do 
.
But i'll go with bitter on this part. If the team has confirmed there's no hardware mod needed, it is so.
God bless Heather.

No, i did not have a regular PSP so i had to resolder the 6th joint to ground on my battery to use it in service mode. That my freind, is a hardware mod.
Bs
Thatz bs, it does not require no hardware mod, no, itz an ipod touch, not a ipod nano or some sort, come on people, think.

The iPhone's mod was purely to get it on T-Mobile, thus having to screw around with it's whatever inside. For a iPod touch Jailbreak, its all software related.
Besides, why would someone release a way to Jailbreak an iPod touch when the only way requires a hardware mod, whose really going to sacrifice their baby for this?

A lot of people will open up their iPods to jailbreak them. At least the ones with enough skill to try. but even so, if it is a hardware mod, then they shouldn't release it because of that according to your logic?

I enjoy Jailbreaking my iPod a lot. It's sort of an adventure for me. But, I know if I mess up with a .plist or an app, I can simply restore and retry. But, with a hardware mod, not only is your warrenty TRULY voided (because people can restore before they bring it in to an Apple Store) but you are really screwing around with your device. A simple push to far, or a screw that wasn't suppose to be unscrewed can send your $300+ investment away.
Yeah, you can try to fix it, but it'll make you now want to try again. Yeah, they could release it, but why not wait until they can make another "Jailbreakme.com" before they give directions for people to mess up their iPod touches real bad. That's my opinion, if its worth anything.
I understand, I mean I would not have the nuts to open up my brand new device, but there are people who do, and the point I was making is that it is unfair t not realease the exploit just becuase it'll be out of hands for the majority. But either way, I truly believe a simpler method will come out, though jailbreakme.com will not work again
yes it is software, it alters something in the battery no need to open the battery up just stick the psp on run a program press a button it alters the battery so that next time it is turned on you go straight to service mode
then you never read how to do the pandora battery trick then
trust me I have done about 5 pandora batterys never needed to hardware mod a thing
is it official now or pretty much clear that jailbreakme.com will not work again ?!!
As far as I know yes. it relied on an exploit present in Safari, which Apple patched...

Have you done these mods with a fat PSP? I dont know if you can right now but when i was into PSP modding the only option for making a pandora battery without a fat PSP was to resolder the 6th joint on the big chip on the mainboard to ground. If it has changed and you can do it without a fat psp could you PM me a link? i would be very interested. Thanks
well as long as I've known its been software based and I have a fat psp and worked fine, pm'd a link
