problem jailbreaking

[lany]

I downgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1, and installed Oktoprep. Then upgraded to 1.1.2. When I download the jailbreak 1.1.2 zip, and open up jailbreak.jar, it is fine until it reboots the iPod. I then get a message from iTunes saying iPod is in recovery mode and has to be restored.

I am using a MDD dual 1.25 G4. I know people were having problems with the PPC's. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well, if you don't have a PC you could get access to (I mean, you're erasing it anyway; just a computer you could put iTunes on would work), you might try conceitedsoftware.com. They a PPC compatible 1.1.2 Jailbreak file you can download. If that doesn't work, let me know, and I'll see what we can get done. Believe me, I know what it's like to want to get the iPod Touch jailbroken.... I spent 30+ hours trying to Jailbreak mine with a Leopard/Vista Ultimate dual-boot MacBook and no kits (they're weren't any at the time), and using Windows is definitely the easyest way to go, esp. with that Conceited Software kit!

yeah, i still couldn't get it to work. i did download the conceitedsoftware file, and still no luck. looks good until the jailbreak says rebooting ipod, and then i just get the message about recovery and need to restore.

i am going to try it from a pc tomorrow, so hopefully i'll have better luck with that. thanks for the reply though!

An exploit has been found in the 4.6 bootloader which means that new iPhones will be fully sim unlockable, but the bad is that this can be done when iPhone software 1.1.3 is released (for technical reasons). So we are anticipating full sim unlock for 1.1.2 out of the box iPhones in around 4 weeks time"

I left my touch at 1.1.1 because I ran into the same error upgrading to 1.1.2
