not a problem.... I read somewhere that sixty percent of messages sent through text are misconstrued, but then again sixty percent of statistics are made up... lol

Anyway, do you know if I need to dump my musc of the ipod prior to the jailbreak??? Does anybody know this??? I have never previously "broken" my touch... Anyone??? *cough* planetbeing *cough*
 
having music does not matter, as this method entirely ignores your media folders. Even a previous jailbreak does not matter, as this method just steamrolls over your existing jailbroken files and replaces them. For example you might find Installer.app updated or downgraded depending on the version you already have.

What really DOESmatter is if you effectively have a broken iPod. If you have the "300 mb problem" for exame, it would not fix that. If you have already accidentally messed up some system files post jailbreak by following guides incorrectly, this might just make things worse. There's no way for one to preddict the infinite number of configuration changes a user can wittingly or unwittingly make once they get even partially broken out of jail.

It's mentioned in the demo that I'm using a freshly restored machine merely because, like a good scientist ir engineer, i'm giving you exact data on how to exactly reproduce the series of events you're seeing. Same device + same state + same inputs = same results.

On the ssh issue, the problem is I have to generate 3 keys on a paltry cpu. The first connection is slow UNLESS you reboot (in which case the reboot time is lengthened for key generation, but its better than having clients timing you out over and over). I plan to fix this later by dropping support for SSH1, and generating the keys on the server instead of the device.

A HUGE THAK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is all the info I needed. I have not done any tinkering with my ipod at all, just did not want to make a mess if I could avoid it. Looks like it is almost impossible to make a mess using this "hack" (i never know what term to use... exploit perhaps??) I am gonna be adding and installing apps this evening... TTR , HERE I COME!!!!
 
hi i did the jailbreak on my itouch and when i went to go sync it afterwards it wouldnt sync with my computer. later i lost my music and randomly got it back while looking at some downloads. the ipod is syncing now but will it crash again like that or was it only temporary

Hi,

Syncing problems are usually computer related issues. The part about, err, randomly losing your music and getting it back is unheard of.
 
I'm going to get the ipod touch soon..... and probably
the first thing I do will be this. That's a good idea right?

So afterwards, after it's all done, what's the next step
for getting the apps I want to add? I haven't bought it
yet, so maybe it will become clear how to add the applications.
Just wondering now though
 
All right guys. I finally managed to get a hold one of the members of the jailbreakme.com team, drudge, and I've donated all of the code from my project to jailbreakme.com. Drudge adapted it, leading to this. This will bring more reliable jailbreaks to a much wider audience and I'm proud to be working with the same people that produced many of the hacks that all jailbreaks are based on (the SpringBoard patch for example).

Our processes are now virtually identical, except that jailbreakme.com opts not to pre-install SSH. If you use an iPhone, I would strongly recommend jailbreakme.com over slovix.com/touchfree/jb. If you use an iPod touch, the choice depends on whether you want SSH pre-installed.
 
Hey,

I don't actually have a wireless network near me so I am trying to jailbreak my ipod without it. To do this I am using an ad-hoc wireless network on my laptop. I am also running an http proxy on my laptop and connecting to the proxy through my ipod. When I do this I can browse the internet easily but if I go to the jailbreak site Safari crashes about 30s after I load it up and then nothing happens, I assume the tiff causes something to download over a port other than 80 and the touch isn't putting it theough the proxy server? Is there a way I can solve this?

THanks
 
jailbreak...

I need someone's help for my ipod touch.
I was able to jailbreak my itouch a month ago and added many applications.
But today when i synced my music, it updated my itouch and all of a sudden all the applications are gone and i tried restoring it and jailbreaking it, but all it shows on safari is a small blue sqaure with a question mark and it wouldnt crash. So i want to jailbreak it again. but i dont know whats goin on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
THanks
 
vejayjay,

I am having the EXACT same problem as you

this quick jailbreak doesn't work with the new updates.

Please help.
 
Just got my IPT today...and planetbeing thanks a lot!~ Much easier than jailbreakme (which didn't seem tow ork!)! Thanks much man!
 
question, does this method still works with 1.1.2 touches, i'm having serious problems with my hacked ipod so i may need to restore
 
I would also like to know jailbreakme works for 1.1.2 now? that would be killer.

Mine froze and wont boot up now and i need to restore and it would save me some time not haveing to do the 1.1.1 downgrade first...
 
This method worked straight off for me when I tried. Unfortunately the site is down now and I had to restore. AppSnapp won't work for me.
