iPod touch Jailbreak will be released... TODAY!

Hey in order to get ready for the jailbreak (apps ect.) any one with an iPhone know how much space they ended up using? I have only about 300mbs left.. 🙁

how much should i clear out before this is official?
 
I can't wait to put the Books.app on my touch, that is the main reason I wanted a jail break, I can listen to music and read books on my touch! Also notes will be kind of nice.

Can anyone post here when apps have been ported to the ipod touch, so far only a jailbreak has been confirmed, no apps yet. I don't have access to IRC at work.

The first exploit of this kind simply crashed the browser, that was a proof of concept that the buffer overflow exploid existed on the iPod Touch.

From what i have put together from the lead developers and other people in contact with them. You will navigate to a remote server using safari and the tiff will, through a series of complex events originating from a buffer overflow, umounts the drive and remounts it with read/write access. From here it will change the file that tells the os how to mount drives, the fstab file, to always mount it with the read/write perms. Thus JAILBREAK

Don't quote me on any of this as it is just my perception of what has been said in the IRC channel.

ok my bad it will be simple then, how are the apps then copied over, just drag and drop?
 
i dloaded the iphone apps a LOONG time ago, i got them somewhere and I think i deleted them. all this to say, they are out there somewhere

I am happy about the jailbreak not becuase I want to use 3rd party apps but becuase it will hopefully force apple to inticing people with the missing features (mail, adding calandar events, VPN ,etc) so that they will update to a versoin that will block the jailbreak as well.

Am I just hoping? I really just want my IPT to get those three things🙁

You sound like an addict "just one more - last one - I promise!" lol.

I'm obsessed with my Touch. It is everything I thought it would be, and more, but as I said in a different thread, we have nothing to lose. Either apple gives up trying to stop the hacks, or they keep enticing us with sugar so we swallow their hack-proof medicine.

Wait - I hope apple doesn't create a nice little iPhone/Touch virus using the TIFF exploit, then come back to the community and say "see what you guys did? we warned you about this!" ....but apple isn't evil, right?

Although, truthfully, as other people who are far more programmer-savvy than myself have already said, the TIFF exploit is a dangerous creature and it could be used by evil people to mess up the Phone/Touch.

Just a thought

No you will need a program called iphuc until a GUI is released.

Thanks, I tracked down iPHUC for windows if anyone isnt on a mac, you can get it here if you want to prepare.

so does anyone know where things are right now? Also, I would love to know once someone has the info to hack theres, could it be possible to add the iphone apps. If anyone cant find them, let me know and Ill go digging through my internet history and see if I can find where I found them.
 
I have them (iphone apps) on my personal web space, but not sure if I can post a link to it on this forum.

If anyone can email me a generic place to put them, I will (mods permission required??)

Dont want to upset anyone / break any rules

Its all very exciting though......give me mail give me mail!!
 
i would avoid distributing them (or talking about distributing them😉 ) since that is very illigal. I know some websites are doing that, and Im sure you will be ok, but its never fun to be the first one that is made an example of..

just a thought

It's only illegal in the US where you don't get to own the devices you paid for. DMCA is the most assinine POS ever developed. Like with a xbox - I can see perfectly well why they would be banned from xbox live with a modded console, and I want them banned, but illegal to putter about being creative with things like the XBMC? Give me a break. What's next, unscrew a few screws on your toaster and the cops bust down your door?

I'd like to see some documentation stating that it's illegal... I seriously don't believe that. I could easily see it voiding the warranty (well, if you show up to an Apple store with a bunch of stuff on it, at least, but if you wipe it, I doubt they'd know you did anything since it's all software).
 
Officially Released (url)

If you go to toc2rta.com, it say sthe Jailbreak is officially released, and to go to:

http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com

I would be careful though, it might better to hear some reports before hitting that link on your Touch. Note that going to the URL alone doesn't seem to be enough, you also need iPhuc and will probably need to follow some other instructions.

Jailbreak Released

toc2rta.com just released the jailbreak for the iphone 1.1.1 and ipod touch.


Don't use the exploit unless you know what you're doing! This will cause you not to be able to sync from iTunes.

You will need to use IPHUC to access the filesystem. This is for experienced users only.

Please note: After navigating to the exploit site, your safari WILL CRASH and you will be returned to the home screen.
This is the EXPECTED RESULT, it means that the exploit executed!

WAIT FOR A TUTORIAL to be released, if you don't know what you're doing.

To activate the jailbreak, nativate to the following link on your iphone/ipod touch:

http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com

Please post results below, especially any success at adding new applications, but as is quoted above, wait if you don't know what you are doing...

should prob. post that too!!
 
I think it's better to have a new thread, given the exploit is now officially released.

EDIT- Rhosfelt posted the warning text right before me.

If you happen to go to the URL and are stuck, I believe you should be able to do a restore from iTunes, and it will bring your Touch back to normal.
