I had a few funny errors in the procees of hacking mine.

Restore. (hold down sleep & home for 15-25 sec WHILE connected to computer via usb.

Itunes will tell you to restore blah blah blah, do it.

Start again.

You'll get there! Just maticulously follow all intructions
 
i know what i did wrong, i 4got to do the first bit, visit the site lol
 
yeah, don't restore! I had the same problem and all I had to do was restart terminal with my ipod plugged in and do it again, and it worked.
 
i can't get past number 4. here is what it says in terminal:

cp: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib: No such file or directory
abe-pattees-computer:~ apattee$

all the files are on my desktop, so i don't know why it says the file is there.

just replace your opt file in your HD,I still can not fix my problem.Can't get file from ipod !!
 
alright now i am having problems with number 15. i keep getting an error that says the following:

Error creating /etc/dropbear directory on phone.

i've done everything up to this point. thanks for your help.
 
well now i'm stuck at

16. When you're done, reboot your iPod Touch one more time, then SSH into your iPod Touch from the Terminal by typing the following:
ssh -l root your.ipods.ip.address
To find your iPod's IP address, go to your iPod's Settings, click WiFi, then click on the blue arrow to the right of the wifi you're connected to. It shows you the "IP Address" there. Make sure you are on the same wireless network as your computer
When asked the password is alpine. If it gives a fuss, you may need to remove the "known_hosts" file from /Users/YourUser/.ssh/ (Remember, you should keep touching your screen to keep it active, it seems to slow networking right off when it goesn't into a sleep)


i just don't understand :confused:

did you go to the website right away? someone in this thread said they made that mistake? i'm starting over.
 
I too was getting "getfile: Failed to open remote file: 8"

I think I found the source of this problem. In following the steps to get 1.1.1. jailbroken, it doesn't tell you, but you need to quit iTunes before connecting with iphuc.

I saw message about starting all over, but there had to be a reason for the failure. Just for the heck of it I closed iphuc, quit iTunes, tried iphuc again and it worked!
